Objective:To explore the expression of chemokine ligand 1(CCL1)in oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)and its effect on the proliferation,migration and invasion of human oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells(HSC-4).Methods:28 OSCC tissue samples and clinical characteristic data of patients were collected at the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Southwest Medical University between January 2018 and June 2020,as well as 10 normal gingival tissue samples removed during the extraction of impacted teeth.OSCC cells HSC-4 were cultured routinely and divided into the control group(without virus),the NC group(transfected with control lentiviral vector),the shCCL1 group(transfected with knockdown CCL1 lentiviral vector),and the CCL1 group(culture medium containing 60 ng/mL CCL1 recombinant protein).Immunohistochemistry and WB were used to detect the expression of CCL1 in OSCC tissues and cells,and analyze the correlation between its expression level and the clinical features of patients.qPCR,CCK-8 assay,plate cloning assay,cell scratch test,Transwell assay and flow cytometry were used to detect the expression of CCL1 mRNA,the proliferation,migration and invasion abilities and the apoptosis of HSC-4 cells respectively.Results:CCL1 protein was highly expressed in OSCC tissues and HSC-4 cells(all P<0.01)and its expression was related to the clinical stage of tumors(P<0.05).The expression of CCL1 in HSC-4 cells was successfully knocked down(P<0.000 5).Knocking down the expression of CCL1 could inhibit the proliferation(P<0.05 or P<0.01),migration and invasion(all P<0.05)of HSC-4 cells,and promote its apoptosis(all P<0.05).CCL1 recombinant protein treatment resulted in the opposite effects(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.000 1).Conclusion:CCL1 is highly expressed in OSCC and its expression is correlated with the clinical stage of OSCC.CCL1 may take part in regulating the proliferation,migration,invasion and apoptosis of HSC-4 cells.

Background::Compared with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling donor (MSD) transplantation, it remains unclear whether haploidentical donor (HID) transplantation has a superior graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect for Philadelphia-negative (Ph-) high-risk B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). This study aimed to compare the GVL effect between HID and MSD transplantation for Ph- high-risk B-ALL.Methods::This study population came from two prospective multicenter trials (NCT01883180, NCT02673008). Immunosuppressant withdrawal and prophylactic or pre-emptive donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) were administered in patients without active graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) to prevent relapse. All patients with measurable residual disease (MRD) positivity posttransplantation (post-MRD+) or non-remission (NR) pre-transplantation received prophylactic/pre-emptive interventions. The primary endpoint was the incidence of post-MRD+.Results::A total of 335 patients with Ph- high-risk B-ALL were enrolled, including 145 and 190, respectively, in the HID and MSD groups. The 3-year cumulative incidence of post-MRD+ was 27.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 20.2%-34.7%) and 42.6% (35.5%-49.6%) in the HID and MSD groups (P = 0.003), respectively. A total of 156 patients received DLI, including 60 (41.4%) and 96 (50.5%), respectively, in the HID and MSD groups ( P= 0.096). The 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 18.6% (95% CI: 12.7%-25.4%) and 25.9% (19.9%-32.3%; P = 0.116) in the two groups, respectively. The 3-year overall survival (OS) was 67.4% (95% CI: 59.1%-74.4%) and 61.6% (54.2%-68.1%; P = 0.382), leukemia-free survival (LFS) was 63.4% (95% CI: 55.0%-70.7%) and 58.2% (50.8%-64.9%; P= 0.429), and GVHD-free/relapse-free survival (GRFS) was 51.7% (95% CI: 43.3%-59.5%) and 37.8% (30.9%-44.6%; P= 0.041), respectively, in the HID and MSD groups. Conclusion::HID transplantation has a lower incidence of post-MRD+ than MSD transplantation, suggesting that HID transplantation might have a superior GVL effect than MSD transplantation for Ph- high-risk B-ALL patients.Trial registration::ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01883180, NCT02673008.

Objective To examine the prediction value of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) on radiotherapy response in esophageal cancer.Methods A total of 24 subcutaneous esophageal cancer xenograft models were randomly divided into experimental group (n =14,received a single dose of 15 Gy radiotherapy) and control group (n =10,without any treatment).MRI were required before and after radiotherapy at different check time points (1,6,13 days) of T1WI,T2WI,and DWI measurements.Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCX) and volume (VX) of each xenograft were measured,and both △ADCX and △VX were calculated.Results The ADC values of both group were decreased at the first day,however,the decrease in experimental group were more obviously with an increase at 6 and 13 d gradually.However,the ADC values of the control group showed a persistent decline.There was no significant difference in the ADC values between the two different groups before radiotherapy (P ＞ 0.05),while significant difference was found in the ADC values (F =6.178,16.181,58.733,P ＜ 0.05) and △ADC after radiotherapy (F =9.038,12.360,35.140,P ＜ 0.05).The xenografts volume in the experimental group showed a significant growth delay.There was no significant difference in volume between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05) before radiotherapy.Significant difference in V between the two groups only began to exist at 5 d after radiotherapy (F =28.587,P ＜ 0.05).The ADC0,ADC1 of transplanted tumor in control group had linear correlation relationships with its volume of later period.After radiotherapy,the trend of r values gradually increased from-0.118 to 0.896.Conclusions ADC values may change significantly at the early stage after radiotherapy,and initial and early ADC value may have close relationship with xenograft volumes of later period,which indicates that DWI has huge potential in the prediction of radiotherapy response.
