Objective To investigate the expression of(glutathione S-Transferase Omega-1,GSTO1)in cervical cancer tissue and its correlation with patient survival time,and to explore the impact of GSTO1 N-glycosylation on proliferation,migration,invasion,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of cervical cancer.Methods By using immunohistochemistry,the expression levels of GSTO1 in tumor cells of 82 cervical cancer patients were detected,and the correlation between GSTO1 expression and clinical pathological features was analyzed.Kaplan-Meier meth-od was used to plot survival curves and evaluate the impact of GSTO1 expression in cervical cancer tissues on pa-tient survival time.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to assess the independent prognostic factors influencing cervical cancer prognosis.The NetNGlyc 1.0 Server database predicted potential N-glycosylation modification sites of GSTO1(Asn55,Asnl35,Asn190).The cervical cancer cells(HeLa)were transfected with GSTO1 N-glycosylation site mutation vectors at positions 55,135,and 190,as well as GSTO1 wild-type vector and empty vector.Stable transfected cells were selected using puromycin.Western blot experi-ments were performed to assess the effectiveness of lentiviral interference.The effects of GSTO1 N-glycosylation site mutations on proliferation,migration,and invasion of HeLa cells were evaluated using EdU proliferation assay,wound healing assay,and Transwell assay.The effect of GSTO1 N-glycosylation site mutations on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition of HeLa cells was detected using the Western blot experiment.Results Immunohistochem-istry results revealed high expression of GSTO1 in cervical cancer tissues.The expression rate of GSTO1 was signifi-cantly higher in cervical cancer tissues with deep stromal invision≥1/2,lymphovascular space invasion,and lymph node metastasis(P<0.05).Moreover,high expression of GSTO1 was associated with poorer overall surviv-al.After N-glycosylation site-specific mutation of GSTO1,the cell count of proliferation,migration,and invasion in HeLa cells significantly decreased(P<0.05).The Western blot results showed that N-glycosylation site mutation of GSTO1 significantly inhibited the epithelial-mesenchymal transition of HeLa cells.Conclusion The expression of GSTO1 in cervical cancer tissues is associated with stromal infiltration depth,lymphovascular space invasion and lymph node metastasis,and it is also correlated with shorter patient survival time.Site-specific mutations in GSTO1 N-glycosylation significantly inhibit the proliferation,migration and epitheli al-mesenchymal transition of HeLa cells.

Objective To investigate the changes in cellular immune function and biochemical indicators of conventional submarine crew both before and after prolonged deployment at sea.Methods Sixtytwo submariners were recruited as the subjects of our study.Detections were made on T lymphocyte subpopulation and NK cell (CD3 + , CD4 + , CD8 + , CD4 +/CD8 + and NK cells) , heptorenal function as well as 13 biochemical indicators [blood glucose (Glu), aspartate amninotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), AST/ALT, UREA, creatinine (CREA), potassium (K), sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe)].Results As compared with those before prolonged deployment at sea, CD3 + levels in the T lymphocyte subpopulation after prolonged deployment at sea (67.02% ± 7.30% and 68.91% ± 8.15% respectively) , CD4 + levels(33.59% ± 5.61% and 36.87% ± 3.65 % respectively) , and CD4 +/CD8 + levels (1.22 ± 0.45, 1.46 ± 0.52 respectively) , were all significantly increased (P <-0.05).However, CD8 + levels were obviously decreased(27.32% ± 8.21% ,25.25% ± 4.38%) (P < 0.05).Blood glucose levels were obviously increased [(3.68 ± 0.85) mmol/L and (4.38 ± 1.15) mmol/L respectively] (P < 0.05).Ca levels were also elevated [(2.48 ± 0.11) mmol/L and (2.54 ± 0.12) mmol/L respectively] (P < 0.05).Na levels were respectively [(141.08 ± 5.75) mmol/L,(138.08 ± 2.86)mmol/L] , C1 levels were obviously decreased, which were respectively [(103.12 ± 3.09)mmol/L and(98.89 ±4.28)mmol/L] (P <0.01), and Fe levels were also obviously decreased, which were [(23.14 ± 6.75) μmol/L and (21.54 ± 7.34) μmol/L] respectively (P < 0.05).Though biochemical indicators of heptorenal function were elevated to various extents, no statistical differences could be noticed (P > 0.05).Conclusions The immune response of the conventional submariners during this prolonged deployment at sea was enhanced, the blood glucose and Ca levels were elevated, but Fe, Na and Cl levels were decreased, indicating that nutritional components should be adjusted in future submarine deployments at sea,and attention should be paid to the changes in blood glucose, so as to ensure the mental health of the submariners.
