Objective:
As a gate-keeper enzyme link, pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 subunit alpha (PDHA1) functions as a key regulator during glycolysis and the mitochondrial citric acid cycle, which has been reported in several tumors. Nevertheless, the effects of PDHA1 on biological behaviors and metabolism remain unclear in cervical cancer (CC) cells. The study aims to explore the PDHA1 effects on glucose metabolism in CC cells and its possible mechanism.
Methods:
We first determined the expression levels of PDHA1 and activating protein 2 alpha (AP2α) as a PDHA1 potential transcription factor. The effects of PDHA1 in vivo were evaluated through a subcutaneous xenograft mouse model. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) labeling assay, Transwell invasion assay, wound healing assay, Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay and flow cytometry were performed in CC cells. Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) levels were determined to reflect aerobic glycolysis level in gastric cancer cells. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was measured with 2′, 7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate kit. The relationship between PDHA1 and AP2α was examined by conducting chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and electrophoretic mobility shift assay.
Results:
In CC tissues and cell lines, PDHA1 was downregulated, while AP2α was upregulated. Overexpression of PDHA1 remarkedly inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of CC cells, and tumor growth in vivo, as well as promoted OCR, apoptosis and ROS production. Moreover, AP2α directly bound to PDHA1 within suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 promoter region to negatively regulate PDHA1 expression level. What is more, PDHA1 knockdown could effectively reversed the AP2α silencing-mediated suppressive effects on cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and the promotive effects of AP2α knockdown on OCR, apoptosis and ROS production.
Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate that AP2α negatively regulated PDHA1 via binding to PDHA1 gene promoter to promote malignant CC cell behaviors, which may provide a potential approach for CC therapeutics.

Objective To observe the effect of bortezomib on acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in an aGVHD model of mice and investigate the related mechanism. Methods Male C57BL/6( H-2Kb)mice were used as donors and female Balb/c (H-2Kd) mice used as recipients. Balb/c mice received total body irradiation (TBI) by 7.0 Gy X-radiation, and randomly divided into five groups. normal (group A), TBI (group B), TBI + bortezomib (group C), TBI + bone marrow cells (BMC) + spleen cells (SC) (group D) and TBI + bortezomib + BMC + SC (group E). The physical signs and the pathological damage of aGVHD, mean survival time, and chimerism were observed in recipients. The NF-κB p65 levels in nuclei of the liver and small intestine tissues of groups A,B and C were analyzed by Western blot. Results ( 1 ) The clinical aGVHD score in group D was (7.37±0. 32), significantly higher than in group E (5.85 ± 0.40) (P<0. 05). Histopathology of the gut, liver and skin illuminated that the Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree GVHD occurred in group D. The occurrence of aGVHD in group E was later than in group D. The symptoms and the pathological damage of aGVHD in group E were milder than in group D. The average survival time in group E was significantly longer than that in group D (P<0.05). The percentage of donor-derived cells in recipient mice was above 90% at day 12 after transplantation; (2) NF-κB p65 levels in nuclei of the liver and small intestine tissues in group B was significantly higher than in group C on the day 1,3 and 5 (P<0. 05). Conclusion Bortezomib can inhibit the activation and expression of NF-κB,which may be the underlying mechanism for it to relieve aGVHD.

Objective To analyze the outcome and prognosis-related factors of MA (mitoxantrone+cytarabine) regimen for acute myeloid leukemia(AML). Methods 102 untreated AML patients were treated with MA. All patients were divided into two groups according to age, blood white cell count(WBC), FrenchAmerican-British (FAB) morphology, level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and immunophynotype respectively.Analyze the prognosis-related factors. Results The complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), nonresponse (NR) rate, and remission rate (CR+PR) of all the 102 cases were 63.73 % (65/102), 17.65 % (18/102), 18.62 % (419/102)and 81.38 % (83/102) respectively. The patients younger than 60 years old, WBC<100×109/L, LDH≤600 U/L, FAB-M2 morphology group had higher CR and remission rate. The CR rate of patients with CD7 positive had statistical difference from that of patients with CD7 negative (P <0.05), but the remission rate not. However, the CR and remission rate of patients with CD19 positive had no statistical difference from that of patients with CD19 negative (P >0.05). Conclusion These results suggest that use of MA regimen was effective and safe for AML. Age, WBC, FAB morphology, level of LDH and CD7 expression are prognosis-related factors for clinical outcome.
