Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting ~65 million individuals worldwide. Abnormal synaptic plasticity is one of the most important pathological features of this condition. We investigated how ubiquitin-specific peptidase 47 (USP47) influences synaptic plasticity and its link to epilepsy. We found that USP47 enhanced excitatory postsynaptic transmission and increased the density of total dendritic spines and the proportion of mature dendritic spines. Furthermore, USP47 inhibited the degradation of the ubiquitinated α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) subunit glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1), which is associated with synaptic plasticity. In addition, elevated levels of USP47 were found in epileptic mice, and USP47 knockdown reduced the frequency and duration of seizure-like events and alleviated epileptic seizures. To summarize, we present a new mechanism whereby USP47 regulates excitatory postsynaptic plasticity through the inhibition of ubiquitinated GluR1 degradation. Modulating USP47 may offer a potential approach for controlling seizures and modifying disease progression in future therapeutic strategies.

Objective To explore the peak moment characteristics of lower limb joints,as well as the contribution rate and compensation mechanism of lower limb joints when older adults with a history of falls cross obstacles at different paces.Methods Thirty healthy older adults and 30 eldely fallers were recruited.The Qualisys infrared high-speed motion capture system and the Kistler three-dimensional force platform were used to collect the biomechanical data of the older adults when they crossed an obstacle with a height of 15％of their height at three walking speeds(1.05,1.41,1.74 m/s).The data were then modeled and analyzed using Visual 3D software.Results As walking speed increased,the peak knee extension moment,peak ankle plantar flexion moment,and double peak value of hip flexion moment in healthy group all increased significantly(P＜0.05).Compared with healthy group,the double peak values of hip flexion moment in faller group were significantly smaller than those in healthy group(P＜0.05).During walking at moderate speed,the contribution rate of the left hip joint in faller group was significantly higher than that of healthy group(P=0.025),while the contribution rate of the ankle joint was significantly lower(P=0.044).The margin of stability in the anterior-posterior direction at the moment of ground contact of the stance leg and the stride leg increased with walking speed(P=0.007,P=0.002).Conclusions Compared with healthy older adults,the elderly fallers have lower peak torque,peak ground reaction force,and dynamic stability in the anterior-posterior direction.As the walking speed increases,the mechanical parameters and the margin of stability of older adults increase significantly,and walking stability is improved.Compared with healthy older adults,elderly fallers usually rely more on the contribution of hip joint movements and reduce the involvement of ankle joints.It is recommended to incorporate fast walking exercises into the daily fall prevention exercise program for older adults,with combination of coordinated training of the hip,knee,and ankle joints.

AIM:To investigate the effects of γ-synuclein on autophagy and apoptosis of colon cancer cells in-duced by endoplasmic reticulum stress,as well as the protective effect on the cells.METHODS:Gene expression profile chip analysis was performed to compare the cDNA expression profiles between human colon cancer HCT116 cells with γ-synu-clein knockdown and HCT116 cells with control siRNA,and to identify potential molecules related to autophagy and apop-tosis.In colon cancer cell lines,the functional effects of γ-synuclein on autophagy and apoptosis induced by thapsigargin(TG),an endoplasmic reticulum stress-inducing agent,were systematically explored by conducting immunofluorescence staining,Western blot,CCK-8 assay,flow cytometry,and transmission electron microscopy.Western blot was used to de-tect the expression of γ-synuclein protein,autophagy-related proteins[microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3),beclin-1,autophagy-related protein 5(ATG5)and ATG7],and apoptosis-related proteins[poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase(PARP),pro-caspase-3,and pro-caspase-9].To further analyze the mechanism of γ-synuclein in regulating autophagy and apoptosis,extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK)inhibitor PD98059,ERK inhibitor SP600125 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK)activator anisomycin were applied separately to test HCT116 cells transfected with γ-synu-clein siRNA.Subsequently,autophagy proteins,apoptosis proteins,and ERK and JNK pathway-related proteins were de-tected by Western blot.RESULTS:The TG-induced autophagy of colon cancer cells mainly occurred at the early stage(0～24 h),and apoptosis mainly occurred at the late stage(36～48 h).Endoplasmic reticulum stress up-regulated the ex-pression of γ-synuclein in colon cancer cells,which was associated with enhanced autophagy.γ-Synuclein promoted au-tophagy by activating ERK and JNK pathways at the early stage(0～24 h),and inhibited apoptosis by blocking JNK path-ways at the late stage(24～48 h)to protect HCT116 cells.In our model,γ-synuclein was observed to play a critical role in the transition from endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced autophagy to apoptosis.CONCLUSION:In the context of endo-plasmic reticulum stress,γ-synuclein promotes autophagy and inhibits apoptosis by regulating ERK and JNK signaling pathways,thus protecting colon cancer cells.This provides a potential idea for anti-tumor therapy.

To explore the mode of"one-day outpatient"based continuous management and examine its feasibility and preliminary effects for improving menopausal syndrome and mood among menopausal women.Clinical intervention study was conducted in Obstetrics and Gynecology Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from May 2020 to May 2021.The continuous management mode of "one-day outpatient service" for menopause was constructed in terms of multidisciplinary resources, including offline "one-day outpatient" health education, online 7-week group continuous intervention on "healthy lifestyle" and offline half-day focus group interview. Pre-and post-scores of the modified Kupperman scale and the positive/negative emotional scale (PANAS) were measured to compare the status of menopausal syndrome and emotional experience of Seventy-eight female participants (40-60 years old), meanwhile, before and after comparison of the blood lipid and body composition indexes of participants were also performed. Paired t test or Wilcoxon signed rank test were used.Results show that the pre-and post Kupperman scores were 14.65±8.51 vs 10.26±5.83 ( t=-5.59, P<0.01), and the positive emotional scores (pre- 28.53±5.85 vs post- 30.13±6.30) were improved ( t=2.59, P=0.012) and negative emotional scores [pre- 20.5(10) vs post- 17.0(7)] were decreased ( Z=-5.09, P<0.01). The triglyceride level of participants declined from (1.27±0.54) mmol/L to (1.09±0.38) mmol/L ( t=-2.45, P<0.05). In addition, the body mass index(pre- 22.52±2.34 vs post- 22.06±2.22), percentage of body fat (pre- 31.72±6.22 vs post- 30.91±6.52)and Visceral fat area(pre- 83.96±30.26 vs post- 79.66±29.71) were all improved ( t=-3.58, t=-2.57, t=-2.59, P<0.05). Therefore,the mode of"one-day outpatient"based continuous management can effectively improve menopausal syndrome and adverse mood, reduce patients′ blood lipid, improve the body composition, and maybe contribute to the prevention of long-term chronic diseases.

Objective: : To explore the effect of PD-1 gene knockout by CRISPR/Cas9 system on the proliferation and IFN-γ secretion in human T cells. Methods: : The sequence of sgRNA targeting PD-1 was designed. The PD-1-sgRNA and Cas9 mRNA were synthesized by T7 RNApolymerase in vitro, and then the mixture of PD-1-sgRNAand Cas9 mRNAwas delivered into activated T cells by nucleofection. The efficiency of gene knockout was confirmed by sequencing. The phenotypes of T lymphocytes and the expression of PD-1 after gene knockout were analyzed by Flow cytometry. The proliferation of T lymphocytes was calculated by trypan blue counting. The level of IFN-γ secreted by T lymphocytes was detected by ELISA. Results： ：PD-1-sgRNA and Cas9 mRNA were successfully synthesized in vitro and delivered into T cells by nucleofection. Sequencing technology confirmed that the PD-1 gene sequence was edited and the editing efficiency was 58.3%. The expression of PD-1 on T lymphocyte surface was down-regulated successfully by CRISPR/Cas9 system [(9.6±1.85)% vs (16.2±2.05)%, P<0.05]. The knockout of PD-1 gene did not affect the proliferation and phenotype of T lymphocytes(P<0.05); However, compared with the control group, the level of IFN-γ secreted by T lymphocytes in the PD-1sgRNA group was significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusion: : CRISPR/Cas9 system can successfully ablate PD-1 gene in human T lymphocytes, which could block the negative regulation of PD-1／PD-L1 and further promote the IFN-γ secretion in T cells.

OBJECTIVETo construct a lentiviral vector carrying the γ-synuclein(SNCG) gene and establish a human colorectal carcinoma cell line SW1116 stably expressing this gene, and then investigate the inhibition of the growth and invasion capacity of SW1116 cells.

METHODSRNA interference fragment was designed according to the SNCG sequence (GenBank: No.NM003087.2), and then SNCG RNAi effective target genes were screened. After the Oligo DNA of target sequences was synthesized, the lentiviral vectors carrying LV-SNCG-RNAi-EGFP (RNAi group) and LV-SNCG-NC-EGFP (NC group) were constructed and packaged to produce lentivirus venom. The supernatants of different virus-producing cells were used to transfect SW1116 cells respectively. Wild SW1116 cells were used as blank control (CON group) EGFP fluorescence was detected by fluorescent microscopy and the differential expression of SNCG mRNA and protein was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. CCK-8, soft agar assay and Transwell chamber were employed to estimate the inhibiting effect on growth and invasion of SW1116 respectively.

RESULTSRecombinant lentiviral vectors respectively carrying the SNCG-RNAi-EGFP and SNCG-NC-EGFP were successfully constructed and the supernatants of lentivirus could effectively infect SW1116 cells. The titer of the virus carrying LV-SNCG-RNAi-EGFP or LV-SNCG-NC-EGFP was 8×10(8) TU/ml. Real-time PCR and Western blot confirmed that compared with the NC group, SNCG-RNAi group had lower SNCG expression (1.009±0.161 vs. 0.114±0.030, P=0.009), and showed tremendous silencing effect as 76.8%(P<0.05). SNCG protein expression was also significantly reduced (RNAi:12.001±2.884, NC:32.443±4.731, CON:34.308±6.920, P<0.05). After SNCG knockdown, the number of proliferation cells was obviously reduced at 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours respectively(P=0.036). In soft agar assay, clones in RNAi group were smaller[RNAi:(0.582±0.103) mm, NC:(1.863±0.316) mm, CON:(1.749±0.525) mm]. Colony formation rate of RNAi group was down to (17.1±3.5)%, which was significantly lower than (36.5±4.3)% in NC group and (33.8±3.9)% in CON group. In migration test, the number of invasion cell was 37.4±9.3 in RNAi group, which was significantly less than 112.3±8.6 in NC group and 100±0.0 in CON group.

CONCLUSIONExpression of SNCG mRNA and protein plays an important role in the growth and the invasion capacity of SW1116 cells.
