Background::Although some well-established oncogenes are involved in cancer initiation and progression such as prostate cancer (PCa), the long tail of cancer genes remains to be defined. Goosecoid ( GSC) has been implicated in cancer development. However, the comprehensive biological role of GSC in pan-cancer, specifically in PCa, remains unexplored. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of GSC in PCa development. Methods::We performed a systematic bioinformatics exploration of GSC using datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Genotype-Tissue Expression, Gene Expression Omnibus, German Cancer Research Center, and our in-house cohorts. First, we evaluated the expression of GSC and its association with patient prognosis, and identified GSC-relevant genetic alterations in cancers. Further, we focused on the clinical characterization and prognostic analysis of GSC in PCa. To understand the transcriptional regulation of GSC by E2F transcription factor 1 ( E2F1), we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Functional experiments were conducted to validate the effect of GSC on the tumor cellular phenotype and sensitivity to trametinib. Results::GSC expression was elevated in various tumors and significantly correlated with patient prognosis. The alterations of GSC contribute to the progression of various tumors especially in PCa. Patients with PCa and high GSC expression exhibited worse progression-free survival and biochemical recurrence outcomes. Further, GSC upregulation in patients with PCa was mostly accompanied with higher Gleason score, advanced tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, and elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Mechanistically, the transcription factor, E2F1, stimulates GSC by binding to its promoter region. Detailed experiments further demonstrated that GSC acted as an oncogene and influenced the response of PCa cells to trametinib treatment. Conclusions::GSC was highly overexpressed and strongly correlated with patient prognosis in PCa. We found that GSC, regulated by E2F1, acted as an oncogene and impeded the therapeutic efficacy of trametinib in PCa.

ObjectiveTo present the exploration and application of a prospective follow-up research method for acute infectious disease surveillance based on natural community populations， using COVID-19 infection as an example， and to provide a reference for improving the infectious disease surveillance and early warning system. MethodsA multi-stage probability proportional sampling method was employed to sample residents from all communities of 16 administrative districts in Shanghai， with households as the units. A cohort for acute infectious diseases based on natural community populations was established. The baseline survey was conducted for all cohort subjects， and COVID-19 antigen test kits were distributed. From December 21， 2022 to September 30， 2023， prospective follow-up monitoring of COVID-19 antigen and nucleic acid was carried out on the study subjects on a weekly basis. The baseline characteristics and follow-up information of the cohort subjects were described. ResultsThe cohort for acute infectious diseases included a total of 12 881 subjects， comprising 6 098 males （47.3%） and 6 783 females （52.7%）. The baseline survey revealed that 35.2% （4 540/12 881） of the subjects had a history of COVID-19 infection. During the follow-up period from December 21， 2022 to September 30， 2023， the average incidence density in the cohort was 0.61/person-year， with a higher incidence density in females （0.63/person-year） compared to males （0.59/person-year）. Individuals aged 60 and above （0.64/person-year） and those with underlying health conditions （0.67/person-year） had a higher incidence density. Healthcare workers showed a notably higher incidence density （0.84/person-year） than that in other occupational groups. As of September 30， 2023， a total of 340 subjects in the cohort experienced secondary infections， with a median interval of 170 days between the first and second infections. ConclusionThis study applies cohort study method to acute infectious disease surveillance， providing crucial data support for estimating infection rates and forecasting alerts for acute infectious diseases in the community. This method can be promoted and applied as a new approach for acute infectious disease surveillance.

Objective To detect the changes of mitophagy level in rats with endplate cartilage degeneration induced by spinal instability,and explore the role of PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy in endplate cartilage and intervertebral disc degeneration.Methods The rat spinal instability model was established by surgically removing the superspinal and interspinal ligaments of L2 to L5,and cleaning the bilateral articular processes of the L2 to L5.Eighteen SD rats were divided into the normal group,the degenerative group,and the carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone(CCCP)group,with 6 rats in each group.The rats in the normal group had no special treatment,the rats in the degenerative group constructed a rat spinal instability model,and the rats in the CCCP group were injected with 5 μL of CCCP(10 μmol/L)in the intervertebral disc after the construction of spinal instability model.The changes of histomorphology in the endplate cartilage and intervertebral disc were abserved by HE staining,and the change of extracellular matrix of endplate cartilage was observed by safranin O-fast green staining.RT-PCR detected the mRNA expression of type Ⅱ collagen(COL-2A),aggrecan(ACAN),PINK1 and Parkin in each group.The changes of the protein expression levels of COL-2A,ACAN,PINK1,Parkin and mitochondrial membrane proteins of Tomm20 and Timm23 were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the normal group,the intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus of rats in the degenerative group was significantly destroyed and the secretion of extracellular matrix of endplate chondrocytes decreased;while the structure of intervertebral discs for rats in the CCCP group was more intact,and the secretion of extracellular matrix of endplate chondrocytes was significantly increased compared with that in the degenerative group.Compared with the normal group,the expression of COL-2A and ACAN in endplate cartilage tissues of rats in the degenerative group were significantly down-regulated(P<0.05),the expression of mitochon-drial autophagy-related genes of PINK1 and Parkin were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the expression of mitochondrial membrane proteins of Tomm20 and Timm23 were increased(P<0.05).Compared with the degenerative group,the expression of COL-2A,ACAN,PINKI and Parkin in the endplate cartilage tissue of rats in the CCCP group were significantly up-regulated(P<0.05),and the protein levels of Tomm20 and Timm23 were significantly down-regulated(P<0.05).Conclusion Rat spinal instability leads to a decrease level of mitophagy mediated by PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway in endplate cartilage,thereby inducing endplate cartilage and intervertebral disc degeneration,and the activation of mitophagy can significantly reduce endplate cartilage and intervertebral disc degeneration.

To characterize human antibodies against low-calcium response V(LcrV)antigen of Yersinia pestis,the mono-clonal antibodies were screened and assayed.Antibody gene was derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of the vaccin-ees immunized by plague subunit vaccine in phase Ⅱb clinical trial.Human ScFv antibody library was constructed by phage dis-play.After panning library by using recombinant LcrV antigen,antibody variable genes were sequenced and converted into IgG1 format to evaluate its binding specificity and relevant parameters.An anti-plague human ScFv antibody library was estab-lished contained 7.54× 108 independent clones.After panning by LcrV antigen,3 human antibodies named as RV-B4,RV-D1 and RV-E8,respectively,were identified.Using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and Western blot(WB),the specific bindings of the mAbs to LcrV antigen were confirmed.The dissociation constant(KD)of them to LcrV is 2.1 nmol/L,1.24 nmol/L and 42 nmol/L,respectively.Minor protective efficacy was found among 3 human antibodies in Y.pestis 141-infected mice.Three anti-LcrV monoclonal antibodies generated from immunized vaccinees were binding specific antibod-ies and could not block plague infection in mice.These antibodies are the potential candidate reagents for basic research of plague immunity and the application of plague diagnosis.
