Objective:To explore the effect of clinical conventional fractionated dose radiation on the expression levels of immunogenic cell death (ICD) related proteins in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods:A total of 38 newly-treated NPC patients admitted to the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from November 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled, all of whom received induction chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and another 20 healthy volunteers were selected as controls for a prospective study. The contents of ICD related proteins, namely calreticulin (CRT), high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB-1) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and the proportion of dendritic cell (DC) in the peripheral blood of patients were detected before treatment, after induction chemotherapy and after concurrent chemoradiotherapy, respectively. The correlation between the above indicators, general clinical data and short-term efficacy was analyzed by statistical methods such as t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results:The levels of HSP70 and HMGB-1 in peripheral blood of NPC patients before treatment were higher than those of healthy controls (both P<0.05). After concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the content of CRT was significantly higher than that before treatment ( P<0.05), whereas the difference before and after induction chemotherapy and the difference before and after concurrent chemoradiotherapy were not significantly correlated with the short-term efficacy of NPC patients. HSP70 level was significantly decreased after concurrent chemoradiotherapy ( P<0.001). There were no significant differences in the content of HMGB-1 after induction chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (both P>0.05). Conclusion:NPC patients receiving TPF regimen (docetaxel+cisplatin+fluorouracil) for induction chemotherapy and sequential cisplatin concurrent chemotherapy may induce ICD in NPC cells, and CRT has potential value in reflecting the clinical efficacy of NPC.

BACKGROUND:
The transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been proven associated with the pathogenesis of asthmatic airway remodeling, in which the Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays an important role, notably with regard to TGF-β1. Recent studies have shown that 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(1α, 25(OH)2D3) inhibits TGF-β1-induced EMT, although the underlying mechanism have not yet been fully elucidated.
METHODS:
Alveolar epithelial cells were exposed to 1α, 25(OH)2D3, ICG-001, or a combination of both, followed by stimulation with TGF-β1. The protein expression of E-cadherin, α-smooth muscle actin, fibronectin, and β-catenin was analyzed by western blotting and immunofluorescence analysis. The mRNA transcript of Snail was analyzed using RT-qPCR, and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) activity was analyzed by gelatin zymogram. The activity of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was analyzed using the Top/Fop flash reporters.
RESULTS:
Both 1α, 25(OH)2D3 and ICG-001 blocked TGF-β1-induced EMT in alveolar epithelial cells. In addition, the Top/Fop Flash reporters showed that 1α, 25(OH)2D3 suppressed the activity of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and reduced the expression of target genes, including MMP-9 and Snail, in synergy with ICG-001.
CONCLUSION
1α, 25(OH)2D3 synergizes with ICG-001 and inhibits TGF-β1-induced EMT in alveolar epithelial cells by negatively regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2020;40(1):18-21
Objective:To explore the relationship between rs3758391 polymorphism of SIRT1 gene and depressive symptoms, and to further understand the role of SIRT1 gene in major depressive disorder. Methods:A total of 323 patients with major depressive disorder were retrospectively collected from the Jinhua Second Hospital, Wenzhou Kangning Hospital and Shanghai Mental Health Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. A total of 347 healthy subjects were also recruited. Depressive symptoms were evaluated by using the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), and rs3758391 polymorphism was genotyped by using the TaqMan SNP genotyping Assay. The effect of rs3758391 polymorphism on the expression of SIRT1 mRNA in brain was analyzed by BRAINEAS database, and the difference of depressive symptom severity among three genotypes at rs3758391 polymorphism was compared by multivariate analysis of variance. Results:The frequencies of C and T alleles of rs3758391 polymorphism in SIRT1 gene were 18.7% and 81.3% in the case group, and 14.3% and 85.7% in the control group, respectively. The allelic distribution frequencies between the two groups were significantly different (χ2=4.86, P=0.03). There were significant differences in mood, cognitive impairment and HAMD scores among patients with different genotypes of rs3758391 polymorphism (P<0.05). The results of eQTL analysis showed that rs3758391 polymorphism was significantly correlated with the expression of SIRT1 gene in occipital cortex (OCTX) (P=0.003). Conclusion:rs3758391 polymorphism of SIRT1 gene may be a risk factor for major depressive disorder in Chinese Han population, and is associated with the severity of depressive symptoms, especially with emotional symptoms and cognitive impairment.

The study was designed to explore the drug-drug interactions mechanisms mediated by OATP1B1 between traditional Chinese medicine Danshensu and rosuvastatin. First, the changes of rosuvastatin pharmacokinetics were investigated in presence of Danshensu in rats. Then, the primary rat hepatocytes model was established to explore the effects of Danshensu on the uptake of rosuvastatin by hepatocytes. Finally, HEK293T cells with overexpression of OATP1B1*a and OATP1B1*5 were established using a lentiviral delivery system to explore the effects of Danshensu on the uptake of rosuvastatin. Rosuvastatin pharmacokinetic parameters of C(max0, AUCO(0-t), AUC(0-∞) were increased about 123%, 194% and 195%, by Danshensu in rats, while the CL z/F value was decreased by 60%. Uptake of rosuvastatin in the primary rat hepatocytes was decreased by 3.13%, 41.15% and 74.62%, respectively in the presence of 20, 40 and 80 μmol x L(-1) Danshensu. The IC50 parameters was (53.04 ± 2.43) μmol x L(-1). The inhibitory effect of Danshensu on OATP1B1 mediated transport of rosuvastatin was related to the OATP1B1 gene type. In OATP1B1*5-HEK293T mutant cells, transport of rosuvastatin were reduced by (39.11 ± 4.94)% and (63.61 ± 3.94)%, respectively, by Danshensu at 1 and 10 μmol x L(-1). While transport of rosuvastatin was reduced by (8.22 ± 2.40)% and (11.56 ± 3.04)% and in OATP1B1*1a cells, respectively. Danshensu significantly altered the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin in rats, which was related to competitive inhibition of transport by OATPJBI. Danshensu exhibited a significant activity in the inhibition of rosuvastatin transport by OATP1B1*5-HEK293T, but not by OATP1B1*1a, suggesting a dependence on OATP1B1 sequence.
