Objective To screen the anti-CD22-specific nanobodies to provide a basis for immunotherapy agents. Methods The naive phage nanobody library was constructed and its diversity was analyzed. Three rounds of biotinylated streptavidin liquid phase screening were performed by using biotinylated CD22 antigen as the target, and the sequence of nanobodies against CD22 were identified by ELISA and gene sequencing. Results The capacity of the constructed naive phage nanobody library was 3.89×10⁹ CFU/mL, and the insertion of effective fragments was higher than 85%. Based on this library, seven anti-human CD22 nanobodies were screened, and the amino acid sequence comparison results showed that the overall similarity was 70.34%, and all of them were hydrophilic proteins. The results of protein-protein complex docking prediction showed that the mimetic proteins of the five nanobody sequences could be paired and linked to CD22, and the main forces were hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding. Conclusion This study provided a basis for the study of chimeric antigen receptor T cells targeting CD22, successfully constructed the natural phage nanobody library and obtaining five anti-CD22-specific nanobodies.

Dysregulated RNA splicing is a well-recognized characteristic of colorectal cancer (CRC); however, its intricacies remain obscure, partly due to challenges in profiling full-length transcript variants at the single-cell level. Here, we employ high-depth long-read scRNA-seq to define the full-length transcriptome of colorectal epithelial cells in 12 CRC patients, revealing extensive isoform diversities and splicing alterations. Cancer cells exhibited increased transcript complexity, with widespread 3'-UTR shortening and reduced intron retention. Distinct splicing regulation patterns were observed between intrinsic-consensus molecular subtypes (iCMS), with iCMS3 displaying even higher splicing factor activities and more pronounced 3'-UTR shortening. Furthermore, we revealed substantial shifts in isoform usage that result in alterations of protein sequences from the same gene with distinct carcinogenic effects during tumorigenesis of CRC. Allele-specific expression analysis revealed dominant mutant allele expression in key oncogenes and tumor suppressors. Moreover, mutated PPIG was linked to widespread splicing dysregulation, and functional validation experiments confirmed its critical role in modulating RNA splicing and tumor-associated processes. Our findings highlight the transcriptomic plasticity in CRC and suggest novel candidate targets for splicing-based therapeutic strategies.

Given that current axial flow blood pumps have certain structural defects,resulting in poor performance and inferior blood compatibility,an integrated axial flow blood pump is developed,and its geometry is optimized using computational fluid dynamics method.The study also investigates the effects of different operational parameters on the performance of the blood pump and compares with experimental data to determine the optimal conditions.Additionally,the flow patterns of the blood pump are comprehensively analyzed for further revealing the internal flow phenomena,and the behavior of red blood cells in the blood flow and their response to shear stress are simulated using discrete phase model to evaluate the blood compatibility of the blood pump.The study shows that the novel blood pump performed well in terms of head.Under the optimal condition with a rotational speed of 9 000 r/min and a flow rate of 6.24 L/min,the blood pump improves the head by 16%as compared with the original structure,and reaches 25%efficiency,which can meet the physiological needs of most people.The pressure gradient and velocity gradient in most areas within the blood pump are smooth,and the internal flow patterns are generally stable,effectively avoiding the occurrence of hemolysis.The optimized blood pump can ensure high-level performance and favorable flow field characteristics while maintaining superior blood compatibility,which provides important reference for the structural optimization of axial flow blood pumps.

Objective To investigate the effect of baicalein (BAI) on autophagy of gastric cancer cell line BGC-823 cells by upregulating microRNA-7-5p (miR-7) and its possible mechanism. Methods The MTT method was used to screen the optimal drug concentration of BGC-823 cells treated with BAI. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the transfection efficiency of BGC-823 cell line stably transfected with miR-7. The experiment was divided into control group (mimic-NC), miR-7 group (miR-7 mimic) and BAI group ( miR-7 overexpression combined with BAI treatment group). MTT assay, plate cloning assay and EdU assay were used to detect cell proliferation. The expression levels of autophagy related 16 like 1 (ATG16L1), sequestosome 1 (p62), Beclin 1, autophagy-related protein 5 (ATG5) and microtubule-assaiated protein 1 light chain3 (LC3) were detected by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. Network pharmacology analysis to predict possible signaling pathways; Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) signaling pathway. Results 50 μmol/L BAI significantly inhibited the proliferation ability of BGC-823 cells; Compared with the control group, the expression level of miR-7 was significantly increased after BAI treatment. The cell proliferation of the miR-7 group was significantly inhibited, and the protein expression level of autophagy-related proteins and the LC3II/LC3I ratio were significantly up-regulated, which promoted the formation of autophagosomes and inhibited the formation of autophagic flow in BGC-823 cells. Compared with the miR-7 group, the BAI group could further inhibit the proliferation of BGC-823 cells, induce the formation of autophagosomes, but inhibit the production of autophagy flow. Network pharmacology analysis showed that the common target genes of BAI, gastric cancer and autophagy may be related to PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Compared with the control group, the phosphorylation levels of p-PI3K, p-AKT and p-mTOR in the miR-7 group were significantly inhibited, and the phosphorylation levels of these proteins were further inhibited in the BAI group. Conclusion BAI-mediated miR-7 inhibits the formation of autophagosomes in BGC-823 cells by inhibiting PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, and inhibits the generation of autophagic flow.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in the treatment of locally advanced olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB), and to explore the factors related to the efficacy of NACT. Methods: A total of 25 patients with ONB who underwent NACT in Beijing TongRen Hospital from April 2017 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 16 males and 9 females, with an average age of 44.9 years (ranged 26-72 years). There were 22 cases of Kadish stage C and 3 cases of stage D. After multiple disciplinary team(MDT) discussion, all patients were treated sequentially with NACT-surgery-radiotherapy. Among them, 17 cases were treated with taxol, cis-platinum and etoposide (TEP), 4 cases with taxol, nedaplatin and ifosfamide (TPI), 3 cases with TP, while 1 case with EP. SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and survival analyses were calculated based on the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The overall response rate of NACT was 32% (8/25). Subsequently, 21 patients underwent extended endoscopic surgery and 4 patients underwent combined cranial-nasal approach. Three patients with stage D disease underwent cervical lymph node dissection. All patients received postoperative radiotherapy. The mean follow-up time was 44.2 months (ranged 6-67 months). The 5-year overall survival rate was 100.0%, and the 5-year disease-free survival rates was 94.4%. Before NACT, Ki-67 index was 60% (50%, 90%), while Ki-67 index was 20% (3%, 30%) after chemotherapy [M (Q₁, Q₃)]. The change of Ki-67 before and after NACT was statistically significant (Z=-24.24, P<0.05). The effects of age, gender, history of surgery, Hyams grade, Ki-67 index and chemotherapy regimen to NACT were analyzed. Ki-67 index≥25% and high Hyams grade were related to the efficacy of NACT (all P<0.05). Conclusions: NACT could reduce Ki-67 index in ONBs. High Ki-67 index and Hyams grade are clinical indicators sensitive to the efficacy of NACT. NACT-surgery-radiotherapy is effective for patients with locally advanced ONB.
