ObjectiveTo compare the differences in the interactions with host proteins between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus （SARS-CoV） nucleocapsid protein （NP） and SARS-CoV-2-NP， and to screen out specific differential proteins for analyzing the pathogenicity differences between the two at the protein level. MethodsAll proteins in Vero cells interacting with SARS-CoV-NP or SARS-CoV-2-NP were screened by the pull-down assay， and the screened proteins were analyzed by mass spectrometry for quantitative and qualitative analysis， protein function annotation， and protein-protein interaction （PPI） network construction by mass spectrometry. ResultsA total of 1 345 proteins were retrieved from the database. Compared with the SARS-CoV-2-NP group， the SARS-CoV-NP group had 358 downregulated differentially expressed proteins and 476 upregulated differentially expressed proteins. Biosignature analysis revealed that these proteins were predominantly located in the cytoplasm and nucleus. They participated in biological processes such as regulation of biological processes and metabolic processes. Their molecular functions included ion-binding， nucleotide-binding， and carbohydrate derivative-binding. These proteins were closely associated with diseases linked to metabolism and genetic information processing. Many of them contained functional structural domains like RNA recognition motifs and tryptophan-aspartic acid repeat （WD） domains. ConclusionCompared with the SARS-CoV-NP group， the SARS-CoV-2-NP group exhibited multiple differential host proteins， providing a basis for investigating the molecular pathogenesis and therapeutic targets of SARS-CoV-2.

Objective To analyze the transcriptome sequencing results of Nelson Bay virus(NBV)-infected murine RAW264.7 mac-rophages,and to screen for differentially expressed genes(DEGs)to provide a theoretical basis for exploring the mechanism of innate immune response in reovirus infection.Methods RAW264.7 cells were infected with the NBV-Miyazaki virus strain at a multiplicity of infection(MOI)of 30.We used transcriptome sequencing technologies,with q＜0.05 and|log2FC|≥ 1,for screening the DEGs in the infection and control groups.The Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)databases were used for enrichment analysis of DEGs.Results A total of 442 genes were differentially expressed in the infection group,of which 381 genes were significantly upregulated and 61 genes were significantly downregulated.In the GO analysis,the enrichment of DEGs was primarily related to the innate immune response,defense response to viruses,cytokine production,and cell response to cytokine stimulation.In the KEGG analysis,the enrichment of DEGs were primarily related to the Toll-like receptor,retinoid acid inducible gene Ⅰ-like receptor,PI3K/Akt,and other signaling pathways.Conclusion RAW264.7 macrophages infected with the NBV-Miyazaki virus can activate pattern recognition receptors;promote the release of cytokines,chemokines,and other immune-related factors;and enhance antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity to exert an immune effect.This study provides a theoretical basis for exploring the mechanisms of innate immu-nity during NBV-Miyazaki virus infection.

Objective:To discuss the host proteins that interact with the Nelson Bay orthoreovirus(NBV)σNS protein in the fibroblasts L929 of the mice,and to clarify the effect of host proteins on the viral replication.Methods:The bait plasmid pGBKT7-S3 expressing σNS protein was constructed,and sequencing technology was used to verify the accurate expression of the bait plasmid in the Y2H yeast cells.The pGBKT7-S3 and pGADT7 plasmids were separately and jointly transformed into the Y2HGold yeast cells,plated on solid medium,and the colony growth was observed to confirm that the σNS protein was non-toxic to the yeast cells and could not self-activate the reporter gene.The bait plasmid pGBKT7-S3 was hybridized with the cDNA library in fibroblasts L929 of the mice,and the plasmids encoding the interacting proteins were extracted from the positive clones.The positive sequencing results were screened for the proteins interacting with NBV σNS through the Uniprot database.Gene Ontology(GO)functional enrichment analysis,Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)signaling pathway enrichment analysis,and STRING bioinformatics analysis were performed on the interacting proteins.Results:A total of 61 positive clones were successfully screened.The DNA sequencing analysis and BLAST alignment removed 23 positive clones that did not match the database or were similar in sequence.The positive sequencing results identified 38 proteins interacting with NBV σNS through the Uniprot database.Thirty-one proteins were involved in cellular biological processes;thirty-six proteins were cellular anatomical components;thirty-one proteins had binding functions.Five proteins were part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain;seven proteins were ribosomal proteins and components of the ribosomal subunits;two proteins were involved in iron metabolism homeostasis.The GO functional enrichment analysis results showed that the interacting proteins were enriched in biological processes(BP)such as cellular processes,metabolic processes,biological regulation,localization,and response to stimuli;the cellular components were mainly cellular anatomical components and protein-containing complexes;the molecular functions were concentrated in binding,catalytic activity,structural molecule activity,and transporter activity.The KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis results showed that the proteins were highly enriched in translation,folding,sorting,and degradation pathways of genetic information processing and were mainly associated with the digestive system in the organism;they were linked to various viral infections and cancers.The STRING analysis results showed that the interacting proteins included ribosomal proteins,protein modification proteins,metabolic proteins,and immune proteins.Conclusion:The host proteins that interact with NBV σNS protein are successfully screened,and these host proteins play important roles in viral replication.

OBJECTIVE：To preliminarily study the antitumor mechanism of Periplaneta americana extract C Ⅱ-3 on MFC tumor-bearing mice. METHODS ：Balb/c mice were randomly divided into model group （normal saline 20 mL/kg）and C Ⅱ-3 group （200 mg/kg），with 6 mice in each group. MFC cell suspension （0.2 mL）was injected under the right armpit of mice. On the next day，mice were given relevant medicine intragastrically ，once a day ，for consecutive 10 d. 24 h after the last administration ，Based on the measurement of tumor size ， 1H-NMR technology combined with unsupervised PCA ，supervised PLS-DA and OPLS-DA were used to compare metabolic spectrum of liver tissue from tumor-bearing mice of 2 groups，to analyze differential metabolites and to explore the potential antitumor mechanis m of C Ⅱ -3. RESULTS ：Compared with model group ，the tumor body was significantly reduced in tumor-bearing mice of C Ⅱ-3 group. There were differences in 1H-NMR spectra between the 2 No.81960712）； groups. According to unsupervised PCA ，supervised PLS-DA and OPLS-DA ，totally six potential differential metabolites ，as glycogen （increased），pyruvate （decreased），arginine （de- creased），hydroxyproline （increased），inosine （increased） and niacinamide （increased），were identified in the liver tissue，which were mainly attributed to the metabolism of arginine ，energy and nucleic acid. CONCLUSIONS：The anti tumor effect of C Ⅱ-3 may be related to the regulation of arginine metabolism ，energy metabolism and nucleic acid metabolism.

Objectives: To explore the association between the polymorphism of persistent obesity and genetic variations in the LEP (human leptin gene, LEP) and LEPR (leptin receptor gene, LEPR) genes and different molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Methods: All 703 female patients of breast cancer diagnosed by histopathology in the Sichuan Cancer Hospital or the West China Hospital, excluding patients with metastatic breast cancer or mental disease, were selected as cases from April 2014 to May 2015. At the same time, 805 healthy women received physical examination in medical examination center of Sichuan People Hospital or Shuangliu maternal and child health care hospital, excluding those with therioma, breast disease, and mental disease, were enrolled in control group. A uniform questionnaire was used to collect general information including demographic characteristic, reproductive history height, weight, and so on. And the obesity status in recent 10 years was judged. Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer was used to determine the genotypes of LEP rs7799039, LEPR rs1137100 and LEPR rs1137101, while the multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to estimate the effect of risk factors related to breast cancer in different molecular subtypes; and then, the association between polymorphism of persistent obesity, the LEP, LEPR genes and breast cancer of different molecular subtypes was analyzed by binary logistic regression models. Results: The average age of controls was (48.98±8.83) years old, while the age of cases of TNBC, Luminal A, Luminal B, and HER-2+ were (51.43±11.33), (49.94±10.10), (49.73±9.38), (50.50±9.04) years old, respectively. The frequency of genotype LEP rs7799039, LEPR rs1137100 and LEPR rs1137101 in control group was separately 74.8%(1 157/1 546), 83.6%(1 339/1 602) and 88.4%(1 416/1 602); while 77.6% (1 074/1 384), 82.4% (1 155/1 402) and 87.9% (1 232/1 402) respectively in case group. Compared with non-persistent obesity subjects, the persistent obesity ones showed an increased risk in TNBC (OR=3.58, 95%CI: 1.90-6.72), Luminal A (OR=2.65, 95%CI: 1.35-5.21) and Luminal B (OR=1.90, 95%CI: 1.26-2.89) breast cancer. LEP rs7799039-AA was relevant with the upward risk of Luminal B independently (OR=1.30, 95%CI: 1.00-1.69). Besides, persistent obesity was found to have a combined effect on Luminal B (β=3.34, 95% CI: 1.00-11.12) with LEPR rs1137101-GG. Conclusion Persistent obesity could increase the potential risk of TNBC, Luminal A and Luminal B breast cancer. Women who were suffered from persistent obesity with a genotype of LEPR rs1137101-GG were more susceptible to Luminal B breast cancer.
