The Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) control natural killer (NK) cells development and cytotoxic functions, however, whether long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in this pathway remains unknown. We found that miR155HG was elevated in activated NK cells and promoted their proliferation and effector functions in both NK92 and induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived NK (iPSC-NK) cells, without reliance on its derived miR-155 and micropeptide P155. Mechanistically, miR155HG bound to miR-6756 and relieved its repression of JAK3 expression, thereby promoting the JAK-STAT pathway and enhancing NK cell proliferation and function. Further investigations disclosed that upon cytokine stimulation, STAT3 directly interacts with miR155HG promoter and induces miR155HG transcription. Collectively, we identify a miR155HG-mediated positive feedback loop of the JAK-STAT signaling. Our study will also provide a power target regarding miR155HG for improving NK cell generation and effector function in the field of NK cell adoptive transfer therapy against cancer, especially iPSC-derived NK cells.

Objective To provide an effective strategy for the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced infections by preparing platelet membrane-modified catalase/silica nanoparticles(PCNP)capable of targeting leukocytes.Methods PCNP and catalase/silica nanoparticles(CNP)were prepared by using platelet membrane,catalase(CAT)and silica,and its biological safety was preliminarily evaluated with cell survival test,hemolysis test and acute toxicity test in mice after tail vein administration;The culture medium,FITC labeled(FITC+)PCNP and FITC labeled(FITC+)CNP were co-incubated with human peripheral blood B lymphocytes(AHH-1)and mouse monocyte macrophages(RAW264.7),respectively.Thus,there were control group,FITC+PCNP group and FITC+CNP group of AHH-1 and RAW264.7 cells.Laser confocal microscopy was used to observe the intracellular fluorescence intensity of PCNP to evaluate the leukocytes targeting function.AHH-1 cells were divided into control,irradiation,platelet membrane,CNP(100 μg/mL)and PCNP(100 μg/mL)groups.After corresponding co-incubation,the cell media were exposed to6 Gy Co60 γ irradiation.The generation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)and cell apoptosis were measured to determine the effect of nanoparticles on reducing radiation injury of leukocytes.Twenty C57BL/6 male mice(weighing 18~20 g)were randomly divided into irradiation group(n=10)and 10 mg/kg PCNP group(n=10).In 2 h after corresponding agents were injected into the mice through tail vein,the mice received whole-body irradiation of 5 Gy Co60 γ ray,and then in 2 h later,they were given intraperitoneal injection of multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(MDR-AB).The infection inhibitory effect of PCNP after irradiation was evaluated by detecting the bacterial load in main organs.Results The hydration particle of PCNP is 91.3 nm in size,and does not exhibit significant cytotoxicity or hemolytic toxicity at concentrations<400 μg/mL.Intravenous injection of 20 mg/kg PCNP resulted in normal increase in the body weight but no obvious pathological changes in the major organs such as the heart,liver,spleen,lungs,and kidneys.In AHH-1 and RAW264.7 cells,PCNP showed significant advantages in targeting compared to the FITC+CNP group[(15.45±3.48)%vs(9.33±2.03)%,P<0.01;(11.25±2.08)%vs(7.06±0.71)%,P<0.001].PCNP also effectively reduced the generation of ROS[(22.73±3.71)%vs(60.90±9.08)%,P<0.001]and apoptotic rate[(9.84±0.92)%vs(38.96±3.62)%,P<0.001]in AHH-1 cells.In in vitro study,bacterial colonization after irradiation showed that there was significantly less MDR-AB colonies in the spleen of mice intervened with PCNP than those of the irradiation group[(17.50±1.38)×104 vs(13.20±2.29)×106 CFU/g,P<0.001].Conclusion PCNP can effectively inhibit the complications of radiation infection in mice,which is due to its direct protective effect on leukocytes.

Objective To investigate biological markers associated with psychotic symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder(BD)based on electronic medical records of patients,and to develop an interpretable risk prediction model that supports the identification of high-risk individuals and that facilitates decision-making for providing clinical intervention in a timely manner.Methods A total of 2 352 patients diagnosed with BD and admitted to West China Hospital,Sichuan University were enrolled using the electronic medical records system of the hospital.The participants were divided into two subgroups,the bipolar disorder depression(BDD)group and the bipolar disorder mania(BDM)group.The logistic regression algorithm was used to train and validate the prediction model,and interpretability methods were used to analyze the contribution of each feature to individuals and the effect of the features on specific target prediction decisions.Results The logistic regression model demonstrated robust predictive performance across the BD,BDD,and BDM cohorts,with areas under the curve(AUC)of the receiver operating characteristic curves always exceeding 81.6%.The core predictive features included platelet distribution width(PDW),fibrinogen(FIB),platelet large cell ratio(P-LCR),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),prothrombin time(PT),and triglyceride(TG).The logistic regression model exhibited strong interpretability and was combined with nomograms for intuitive risk quantification and individualized prediction.Conclusion The logistic regression model enables rapid and simple screening of BD patients with psychotic symptoms.Distinct patterns of changes observed in blood biomarkers of BDD and BDM subgroups enrich the understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and highlight the importance of considering subtypes in the intervention and management of patients.
