OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of gracillin from Reineckia carnea on autophagy in non- small cell lung cancer A549 cells. METHODS Using A549 cells as subjects， the effects of different concentrations of gracillin （0.25， 0.5， 1， 2， 4 μmol/L） on the proliferation of cells were detected by CCK-8 after being treated for different time （12， 24， 48 h）. Compared with the control group without medication， the effect of gracillin （2 μmol/L） on the formation of autophagosomes in cells was observed by transmission electron microscope after 24 h of exposure. The aggregation of GFP-LC3 on autophagosome membrane was detected by GFP-LC3 plasmid transfection after being treated with gracillin （0.25， 0.5， 1， 2 μmol/L） for 24 h. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot assay were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of family with sequence similarity 102 member A（FAM102A）， the expressions of autophagy-related proteins [p62， Beclin-1， microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B （LC3B）]， and the expressions of phosphoinositide 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway-related proteins in A549 cells after being treated with gracillin （0.25， 0.5， 1 and 2 μmol/L） for 24 h. RESULTS Gracillin significantly inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The IC50 was 2.55 μmol/L at 24 h. After 24 h of gracillin treatment， autophagosomes with bilayer membrane structure were found in the cell cytoplasm， and GFP-LC3 green fluorescent spots on autophagosome membrane were obvious， representing an increasing trend as drug concentration. Compared with the control group， mRNA and protein expressions of FAM102A （0.5， 1， 2 μmol/L groups）， protein expression of Beclin-1 （1， 2 μmol/L groups） and LC3B-Ⅱ/LC3B-Ⅰ ratio （2 μmol/L group） were significantly increased in different concentrations of gracillin groups， while the protein expression of p62 （1， 2 μmol/L groups）， and the protein phosphorylations of Akt （1， 2 μmol/L groups） and PI3K （2 μmol/L group） were all decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Gracillin can promote excessive autophagy in A549 cells by up-regulating mRNA and protein expressions of FAM102A and inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， thus inhibiting cell proliferation.

Objective:To explore the specific role and molecular mechanism of octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4) in promoting the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and radioresistance.Methods:The Gene Expression Profile Data Dynamic Analysis (GEPIA) database was used to analyze the expression differences of the Oct4 gene in different types of tumor tissues and their corresponding adjacent normal tissues. The clinical data and surgical resection tissue specimens of 196 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received surgery combined with radiotherapy at Henan Provincial Chest Hospital from January 2013 to May 2022 were collected. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of Oct4 protein in the tumor and adjacent tissues. The lentiviral packaging system was used to construct esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines that up-regulated or down-regulated Oct4. The cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the cell proliferation ability, the scratch test was used to detect the cell migration ability, and the clone formation test was used to detect the cell radiosensitivity. Immunofluorescence experiment was used to detect DNA damage level, and Western blot was used to detect the expressions of Oct4, human phosphorylated histone (γ-H2AX), E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, and zinc finger E box binding homology box 1 (ZEB1).Results:The analysis of GEPIA database showed that the expression level of Oct4 mRNA in esophageal carcinoma was higher than that in paracancerous tissues. The expression level of Oct4 protein in tumor tissues was 78.35±1.42, which was higher than that in adjacent tissues (16.27±0.49). The survival time of patients with a high expression of Oct4 was significantly shorter than that of patients with a low expression of Oct4 (25.40 and 47.00 months). Compared with the control group, the proliferation ability of KYSE510 cells in the Oct4 up-regulated group was enhanced after 72-h culture, and the cell migration ability of these cells was also enhanced, with the migration rate being (41.67±1.20)% vs (23.67±1.86)% after 24-h culture. The radiosensitivity of cells in this group decreased, with the radiosensitivity enhancement ratio being 0.69±0.06 vs 1.00±0.02. After radiotherapy, the expressions of γ-H2AX and E-cadherin decreased, while the expressions of ZEB1, vimentin and N-cadherin increased. Compared with the control group, the proliferation ability of KYSE150 cells in the Oct4 down-regulated groups 1 and 2 decreased (absorbance being 2.51±0.17, 2.38±0.16, and 3.33±0.07, respectively, P＜0.01) after 72-h culture, and the migration ability also decreased, with the migration rate being (13.33±0.88)%, (13.00±1.00)%, and (40.33±2.03)%, respectively (all P＜0.001), after 24-h culture. The radiosensitivity was enhanced, with the radiosensitivity enhancement ratio being 1.34±0.11,1.24±0.07, and 1.00±0.02, respectively (all P＜0.05). After radiotherapy, the expressions of γ-H2AX and E-cadherin increased, while the expressions of ZEB1, vimentin and N-cadherin decreased. Compared with the control group, the proliferation ability of KYSE510 cells in the ZEB1 down-regulated group decreased [absorbance being 1.33±0.15 vs 1.81±0.16 ( P=0.002)] after 72-h culture. The radiosensitivity was enhanced, with the radiosensitivity enhancement ratio being 1.37±0.11 vs 1.00±0.01 ( P=0.037), and after radiotherapy the expression of γ-H2AX increased. Conclusion:Oct4 is involved in the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, which promotes the proliferation, migration, and radioresistance of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) in Bozidun Kirghiz township of Xinjiang Aksu region, and to explore the risk factors for the occurrence of HUA in the local area.Methods:A cross-sectional survey study was conducted by randomly selecting 9 villages in Bozidun Kirgiz Township by the whole-group sampling method and questionnaire were distributed to the households. The questionnaire included: demographic information, history of past illness, personal history, and all subjects were measured for height, weight, blood pressure, abdominal circumference, etc. The diagnostic of HUA if the serum uric acid (SUA) level >420 μmol/L in men or >360 μmol/L in women. The incidences of HUA in different age, sex, food type and life style behavior were analyzed. T test, non-parametric test and Chi-square test were used to analyze the differences among the groups, and logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors. Results:①A total of 2 138 subjects were surveyed, among which 68 patients were with HUA, the prevalence of HUA in Bozidun Kirghiz township, Aksu region in the general population was 3.18%(68/2 138); the prevalence rate in men was 4.60%(45/978), 45 patients were identified; and the prevalence rate in women was 1.98%(23/1 160), 23 patients were identified. The peak age of HUA in male and female patients was 51~60 years old. ②The prevalence of HUA was lower in those who consumed dairy products ( χ2=6.91, P=0.017), nuts ( χ2=8.43, P=0.038) and eggs ( χ2=7.38, P=0.023), and lower in those who consumed more. Different intake of cereals ( χ2=0.87, P=0.647), meat( χ2=0.82, P=0.662), vegetables and fruits( χ2=5.22, P=0.073) had no effect on the prevalence of HUA.③In terms of different life behaviors, the prevalence of HUA in men who had been smoking was higher than those who had never smoked (57.78%, 28.89%, 13.33%, χ2=8.16, P=0.017). In the relationship between drinking and HUA, the prevalence rates of male always drinking, ever drinking and never drinking were 80.00%, 11.11% and 3.89%, respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.67, P=0.038). ④Multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that high BMI, old age, high TG, increased Cr and increased WBC were risk factors for the occurrence of HUA [ OR(95% CI)=1.13(1.04, 1.23), 1.03(1.00,1.05),1.39(1.00, 1.93), 1.03(1.02, 1.05), 1.27(1.07, 1.49), all P<0.05]. Conclusion:The prevalence of HUA in Bozidun Kirgiz township in Aksu prefecture of Xinjiang is lower than that in other areas with continental climate. High BMI, old age, high TG, increased Cr and increased WBC count are risk factors for the development of HUA .

Objective:To explore the role of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) /c-Jun signaling pathway mediated by endoplasmic reticulum stress in triptolide-induced apoptosis of melanoma A375 cells.Methods:Nude mice were subcutaneously inoculated with melanoma A375 cells on the back to establish the animal model of melanoma. Tumor formation could be observed at approximately 3 weeks after inoculation, and then the mice were divided into 4 groups (4 mice in each group) : control group (injected with sodium chloride physiological solution via the tail vein), 0.1-, 0.2-, and 0.4-mg/kg triptolide groups (injected with 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 mg/kg triptolide via the tail vein, respectively). Injections were performed twice a week. After 3 weeks of injections, tumors were resected, and their size and weight were measured. The apoptosis levels of tumor xenografts were detected by the terminal deoxyribonucleotide transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. qPCR was conducted to determine the mRNA expression of inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1), JNK, and c-Jun, and Western blot analysis to determine the protein expression of IRE1, JNK, c-Jun, phosphorylated-JNK (p-JNK), and phosphorylated-c-Jun (p-c-Jun). Comparisons among multiple groups were performed using one-way analysis of variance, and multiple comparisons were performed using Dunnett's test.Results:Significant differences were observed in the tumor mass, volume and tumor suppression rate among the control group, 0.1-, 0.2-, and 0.4-mg/kg triptolide groups (all P < 0.05) ; all the triptolide groups showed significantly decreased tumor masses and volumes (all P < 0.05), but significantly increased tumor suppression rates compared with the control group (all P < 0.05). The tumor apoptosis index significantly differed among the control group, 0.1-, 0.2-, and 0.4-mg/kg triptolide groups (7.67% ± 1.15%, 9.67% ± 3.21%, 62.00% ± 6.08%, and 85.67% ± 5.51%, respectively; F = 305.91, P < 0.001), and the 0.2- and 0.4-mg/kg triptolide groups showed significantly increased tumor apoptosis indices compared with the control group ( t = 17.56, 27.72, respectively, both P < 0.05). qPCR and Western blot analysis revealed significant differences in the mRNA expression of IRE1, JNK, and c-Jun among the control group, 0.1-, 0.2-, and 0.4-mg/kg triptolide groups ( F = 112.23, 27.51, 112.37, respectively, all P < 0.05), as well as in the relative protein expression levels of IRE1, JNK, c-Jun, p-JNK, and p-c-Jun among the above 4 groups (all P < 0.05). Additionally, the 0.4-mg/kg triptolide group showed significantly increased mRNA and protein expression of IRE1, JNK and c-Jun (including p-JNK, p-c-Jun) compared with the control group (all P < 0.05). The mRNA and protein expression levels of IRE1, JNK, and c-Jun in the tumor tissues tended to increase with the rise in drug concentrations, and the protein expression levels of p-JNK and p-c-Jun showed the same trend. Conclusion:Triptolide could activate the JNK/c-Jun signaling pathway mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum stress, and then induce apoptosis of melanoma A375 cells in mice.
