Objective:
To investigate the effects of retinoid-related orphan receptor γ (RORγ) gene on proliferation and metastasis of human colon cancer cells.
Methods:
RORγ knockdown cell lines were constructed and the knockdown efficiency was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot assays ; MTT,colony formation,Transwell and wound healing assays were used to detect cell proliferation and metastasis ; the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related proteins was detected by Western blot.The relationship between RORγ gene expression and immune cell infiltration in tumor microenvironment was analyzed using TIMER 2. 0 database.
Results :
The knockdown of RORγ enhanced the viability (F = 157. 40,P<0. 01) ,clonogenesis (F = 61. 35,P<0. 01) ,migration (F = 13. 00,P<0. 01) ,invasion (F = 21. 26,P<0. 01) and wound healing ability (F = 877. 2,P<0. 01) of colon cancer cells,inhibited the expression of E-Cadherin,and promoted the expression of vimentin and N-Cadherin.TIMER 2. 0 database analysis showed that RORγ expression in colon adenocarcinoma ( COAD) tissues was associated with multiple immune cell infiltrates.
Conclusion
Downregulation of RORγ expression promoted the proliferation and metastasis of colon cancer cells.

Objective To introduce and evaluate the practice of “Internet Plus” new technology for health management of chronic diseases in community in Yichang, and to provide reference for chronic disease patients39; health management in community. Methods Data of hypertensive patients were collected from the national basic public health service system, the big data intelligent sorting system for chronic disease patients in Yichang City, and the basic public health service system in urban areas in Yichang from 2016 to 2020. Data on the discovery, sorting and filing, standardized management rate and blood pressure control of urban hypertension patients were analyzed. The application effect of “Internet Plus” new technology in chronic disease community health management was evaluated. Results From 2016 to 2020, 15 934 patients with hypertension were found and their health records were established through big and intelligent data in Yichang City, accounting for 93.54% (15 934 / 17 035) of the total. The rate of standardized management in each district increased year by year, with an increase of 8.71% in 2020 compared with 2016, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=1273.30, P<0.001). The blood pressure control rate of hypertensive patients increased year by year, with the control rate being 11.64% higher in 2020 than that in 2016, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=867.14, P<0.001). Conclusion Data exchange and sharing among medical institutions at all levels can strengthen the health management of chronic diseases in the community. The “Internet Plus” new technology, integrating the Internet, big data, cloud computing and intelligent terminal technology, can effectively improve the detection, management and treatment rate of chronic diseases, and provide a new direction for the health management of chronic diseases.
