OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for a child with succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples of the proband and his parents were collected and subjected to Sanger sequencing. High-throughput sequencing was used to verify the gene variants. Bioinformatic software was used to analyze the pathogenicity of the variant sites. RESULTS: Sanger sequencing showed that the proband carried a homozygous c.1529C>T (p.S510F) variant of the ALDH5A1 gene, for which his mother was a carrier. The same variant was not detected in his father. However, high-throughput sequencing revealed that the child and his father both had a deletion of ALDH5A1 gene fragment (chr6: 24 403 265-24 566 986). CONCLUSION The c.1529C>T variant of the ALDH5A1 gene and deletion of ALDH5A1 gene fragment probably underlay the disease in the child. High-throughput sequencing can detect site variation as well as deletion of gene fragment, which has enabled genetic diagnosis and counseling for the family.

Objective:To explore the genetic etiology of a child with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).Methods:Whole exome sequencing (WES) and copy number variation (CNV) analysis were carried out to screen potential variants in the proband. Suspected variants were validated by Sanger sequencing and qPCR.Results:WES showed that the proband harbored compound heterozygous variants of the DCLRE1C gene, namely deletion of exons 1-3 and c. 322G>A (p.Val108Met) in exon 5. The exon 1-3 deletion was derived from his father and was known to be pathogenic, while the c. 322G>A was derived from his mother and was unreported previously. Conclusion:The compound heterozygous variants of the DCLRE1C gene probably underlay the SCID in this child.

With the development of new technology and the innovation of research mode, tumor immunological research has achieved rapid development, and tumor immunotherapy has also shown remarkable clinical efficacy, jointly promoting the improvement of tumor immunology from mechanism research to clinical transformation and from single discipline to multi-disciplinary integration. However, multiple challenges still exist in tumor immunological research, such as the animal model replication for clinical tumor study, the complexity of tumor intrinsic regulation and its relationship with host microenvironment, and the screening of immunotherapy targets and the prediction of treatment effect. These problems limit the further development and application of tumor immunology, but also bring research opportunities to basic and clinical immunology researchers. Therefore, this review summarizes the research status and challenges as well as looks into the future of tumor immunity and immunotherapy in five aspects: the change of research model,the innovation of mechanism, the exploration of research objects, the screening and evaluation of therapeutic targets, as well as the application and innovation of new technologies.

Objective:To evaluate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and the relationship with autophagy in rats.Methods:Thirty-six healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 250-300 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group), myocardial I/R group (IR group), and endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor 4-PBA group (PBA group). Myocardial I/R was produced by occlusion of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 120 min.Sham group only underwent thoracotomy without block of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery.Endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor 4-PBA 500 mg·kg -1·d -1 was given intragastrically for 3 consecutive days before the I/R model was developed in PBA group, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in Sham and IR groups.The blood samples from the iliac vein were collected at 120 min of reperfusion for determination of the plasma creatine kinase isoenzymes (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentrations (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). The rats were then sacrificed, and myocardial tissues were removed for detection of myocardial glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 Ⅱ (LC3 Ⅱ) and autophagy-related protein 5 (ATG5) expression (by Western blot). Result:Compared with Sham group, the concentrations of CK-MB and cTnI in plasma were significantly increased in IR and PBA groups, the expression of GRP78, ATG5 and LC3Ⅱ was up-regulated, and the pathological damage was aggravated in IR group ( P<0.05). Compared with IR group, the concentrations of CK-MB and cTnI in plasma were significantly decreased, the expression of GRP78, ATG5 and LC3Ⅱ was down-regulated ( P<0.05), and the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in PBA group. Conclusion:Endoplasmic reticulum stress is involved in the process of myocardial I/R injury, and the mechanism may be related to promotion of autophagy in rats.

Objective: To investigate the expression of ECT2 (epithelial Transforming sequence 2) gene in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and its effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells. Methods: Carcinoma tissues and corresponding para-carcinoma tissues from 35 PDAC patients at Changhai Hospital Affiliated to Naval Medical University from July 2018 to March 2019 were collected for this study. The differentially expressed genes in pancreatic cancer were screened out by using Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Database. Then, the related gene expression in PDAC and its relation with patients’survival were analyzed by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. QPCR and immunohistochemistry were used to verify the mRNAand protein expressions of ECT2 in human PDAC samples. To explore the effect of ECT2 on the biological behaviors of pancreatic cancer cells, si-RNA was used to silence the ECT2 gene in pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells, and CCK-8 proliferation assay and Flow cytometry were used to detect the proliferation and apoptosis rate of PANC-1 cells after ECT2 silence. Finally, the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins were detected by WB. Results: The differentially expressed gene-ECT2, was screened out by analyzing the gene expression profiles of human pancreatic cancer in GEO database. TCGA database analysis showed that ECT2 was highly expressed in pancreatic cancer tissues (t=4.005, P<0.05) and significantly correlated with patients’survival (P< 0.01). Moreover, it is also verified that ECT2 was highly expressed in PDAC tissues at mRNA (1.01±0.06 vs 4.25±0.12; t=24.09， P<0.01) and protein level. After ECT2 silence in PANC-1 cells, the proliferation rate was decreased (P<0.01), while the Tamoxifeninduced apoptosis rate was increased (P<0.01), and the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins (BAX and Bcl-2) were also affected. Conclusion: ECT2 is highly expressed in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and is related with patients’survival. ECT2 promotes the proliferation and apoptosis resistance of pancreatic cancer cells, providing the basis for exploring ECT2 as a new target for the prognostic judgment and treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the pathomechanism of neuropathic pain (NP)-inducced depression and autophagy in the cortex of the frontal lobe in rats.Methods Forty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats in which IT catheters were successfully placed,aged 8-10 weeks,weighing 200-220 g,were divided into 4 groups (n =10 each) using a random number table method:sham operation group (group S),group NP,NP plus dimethyl sulfoxide group (group ND) and NP plus autophagy inducer rapamycin group (group NR).The neuropathic pain model was established by ligation of the left fifth spinal nerve of anesthetized rats in NP,ND and NR groups.Rapamycin 0.1 μgwas intrathecally injected via the intrathecal catheter immediately after ligation of the spinal nerve and every day after ligation once a day for 21 consecutive days in group NR.The equal volume of dimethyl sulfoxide was intrathecally injected instead of rapamycin in group ND.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) was measured before ligation and at 1,3,7,10,14 and 21 days after ligation.The forced swimming test was performed at 3 days before ligation and 14 and 21 days after ligation.The rats were sacrificed after the last measurement of the behaviour testing,and the prefrontal cortex was removed for determination of the expression of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 Ⅰ (LC3 Ⅰ) and LC3 Ⅱ,Beclin-1 and p62 (by Western blot).The ratio of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ was calculated.Results Compared with group S,the MWT was significantly decreased after ligation,the time of immobility was prolonged,the expression of LC3 Ⅰ was down-regulated,the expression of LC3 Ⅱ,Beclin-1 and p62 was up-regulated,and the LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ ratio was increased in NP and ND groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group NP,the MWT was significantly increased after ligation,the time of immobility was shortened,the expression of LC3 [and p62 was down-regulated,the expression of LC3 Ⅱ and Beclin-1 was up-regulated,and the LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ ratio was increased in group NR (P＜0.05).Conclusion Enhanced autophagy in the cortex of the frontal lobe is involved in the endogenous antidepressant mechanism in rats with NP.
