[摘 要] 目的：探讨食管恶性黑色素瘤（MEM）患者的临床特征，分析以PD-1单抗为基础的免疫治疗疗效及预后的影响因素。方法：收集2011年5月至2022年6月在北京大学肿瘤医院黑色素瘤暨肉瘤内科收治的手术不可切除或者转移性MEM患者的临床资料，包括基本信息、病理资料、实验室指标、治疗方案和生存情况等。采用实体瘤疗效评价标准1.1进行疗效评估，用Kaplan-Meier曲线进行生存分析，用单因素和多因素COX回归进行预后分析。结果：共收集到有完整资料的MEM患者79例，中位年龄59.0岁。大部分患者发病时伴有进食哽噎和吞咽困难等症状，以食管下段发病最为常见，NRAS和KIT基因突变的比例较高，乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）水平升高占21.5%；其中，17例患者接受化疗为主的治疗方案，62例患者接受PD-1单抗为主的免疫治疗方案，客观有效率分别为5.9%和28.8%，疾病控制率分别为35.3%和72.9%，总生存期（OS）分别为7个月[95%CI（0，16.7）个月]和13.2个月[95%CI（9.5，16.9）个月]（P<0.05）。多因素分析显示，就诊时LDH水平、ECOG评分、是否有临床症状、是否接受PD-1单抗治疗与OS显著相关（P<0.05）。结论：MEM患者对PD-1单抗为主的免疫治疗应答较好，LDH升高、ECOG评分≥2分、就诊时有临床症状可能是预后的不良因素。

[摘 要] 目的：探讨干扰四个半LIM结构域蛋白2（FHL2）的表达对胶质母细胞瘤U87细胞中O6-甲基鸟嘌呤DNA甲基转移酶(MGMT) 表达的影响，以及对U87细胞替莫唑胺（TMZ）耐药性的影响。方法：利用慢病毒感染技术分别将携带不同FHL2干扰序列的慢病毒（shFHL2-1#、shFHL2-4#）及其阴性对照（shN）感染U87细胞，分别命名为shFHL2-1#、shFHL2-4#和shN组；采用siRNA转染技术将siMGMT-1#、siMGMT-4#和siN转染至U87细胞，为siMGMT-1#、siMGMT-4#和siN组，qPCR和WB法验证FHL2或MGMT的敲低效果。用TMZ处理上述各组细胞（以DMSO处理组为对照），随后以CCK-8法和细胞克隆形成实验检测TMZ处理前后FHL2或MGMT敲低组细胞的增殖情况，FCM检测TMZ处理前后FHL2敲低组细胞的凋亡情况，WB法和免疫荧光法检测敲低FHL2对U87细胞中MGMT表达的影响，WB法检测TMZ处理对各组细胞中FHL2和MGMT表达水平的影响。结果：成功构建敲低FHL2或MGMT表达的U87细胞。与shN组相比，shFHL2-1#、shFHL2-4#组U87细胞的增殖能力减弱、凋亡水平升高（均P<0.01），MGMT表达水平明显降低（均P<0.01）。经TMZ处理后，与相应的DMSO处理组相比，shN组细胞中FHL2和MGMT的表达水平显著升高（均P<0.05），而细胞的增殖和凋亡均无显著变化（均P>0.05）；shFHL2-1#、shFHL2-4#组细胞中FHL2和MGMT的表达水平无显著改变（均P>0.05），但细胞增殖能力进一步显著降低、凋亡水平进一步显著升高（均P<0.01）。敲低MGMT使U87细胞增殖减慢（P<0.01），而siMGMT-1#、siMGMT-4#组细胞经TMZ处理后增殖能力进一步降低（均P<0.01）。结论：干扰FHL2表达使得U87细胞增殖减慢而凋亡加剧、MGMT表达下调，提示FHL2可能通过影响MGMT的表达调控U87细胞对TMZ的耐药性。

[摘 要] 目的：探讨地锦草乙醇提取物（EEEH）对人结直肠癌SW480细胞生物学行为的影响及其分子机制。方法：体外培养SW480细胞，实验分为Con组、EEEH-L组、EEEH-M组、EEEH-H组、si-NC组、si-circRHOT1组、EEEH-H+pcDNA组、EEEH-H+pcDNA-circRHOT1组，分别以si-NC、si-circRHOT1、pcDNA、pcDNA-circRHOT1转染SW480细胞，采用CCK-8法、细胞克隆形成实验、Transwell实验分别检测转染后各组细胞的增殖、迁移及侵袭能力，qPCR法检测转染后各组SW480细胞circRHOT1和miR-29a-3p的表达，WB法检测各组细胞中MMP-2、MMP-9蛋白的表达。双荧光素酶报告基因实验检测circRHOT1与miR-29a-3p之间的靶向关系。结果：与Con组比较，EEEH-L组、EEEH-M组、EEEH-H组SW480细胞中MMP-2和MMP-9蛋白表达均明显降低（均P<0.05），circRHOT1的表达均降低（均P<0.05）而miR-29a-3p的表达均升高（均P<0.05）且呈剂量依赖性；细胞的存活率、细胞克隆形成数、迁移及侵袭细胞数均减少（均P<0.05）。circRHOT1可靶向负调控miR-29a-3p的表达。敲减circRHOT1可抑制SW480细胞的增殖、迁移及侵袭能力，而过表达circRHOT1则可减弱EEEH对SW480细胞增殖、迁移及侵袭的抑制作用。结论：EEEH可通过调控circRHOT1/miR-29a-3p轴而抑制结直肠癌SW480细胞的增殖、迁移及侵袭能力。

<b>Backgroundb> There is a lack of evidence on whether exposure to PM_2.5 and its constituents would affect the relationship between the dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) and central obesity. <b>Objectiveb> To investigate the effect of exposure to PM_2.5 and its constituents on the correlation between the DASH dietary pattern and the prevalence of central obesity. <b>Methodsb> The data were obtained from the baseline survey of the "Xinjiang Multi-Ethnic Natural Population Cohort Construction and Health Follow-Up Study" in Urumqi. A DASH score was calculated according to intake frequency of 8 food groups, and summed from intake frequency of recommended food groups scored from 1 to 5 from low to high, and intake frequency of restricted food groups scored from 1 to 5 from high to low. A higher DASH score indicates better compliance with the DASH dietary pattern. We estimated exposure using satellite-derived PM_2.5 and a chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) for its constituents, including organic carbon (OC), black carbon (BC), sulfate (SO₄²⁻), nitrate (NO₃⁻), ammonium (NH₄⁺), and soil dust. Central obesity was defined by waist circumference: ≥90 cm for men or ≥85 cm for women according to Criteria of weight for adults (WS/T 428—2013). A logistic regression model was used to analyze the effects of the DASH dietary pattern as well as PM_2.5 and its constituents on central obesity, and a stratified analysis was used to explore the effects of PM_2.5 and its constituents on the association between the DASH dietary pattern and central obesity. <b>Resultsb> The study included 9 565 urban residents, aged (62.30±9.42) years, with a central obesity prevalence rate of 60.75%. After adjusting for selected confounders, the DASH score Q5 group had a 17.5% lower risk of central obesity than the Q1 group (OR=0.825, 95%CI: 0.720-0.947). PM_2.5 and its constituents OC, BC, SO₄²⁻, NH₄⁺, and soil dust were positively associated with the prevalence of central obesity, but no association was observed between constituent NO₃⁻ exposure and central obesity. The stratified analysis revealed that the prevalence of central obesity was reduced in the DASH score Q5 group in participants exposed to low concentrations of PM_2.5 and its constituents NO₃⁻, NH₄⁺, and soil dust, while the protective effect of the DASH pattern on central obesity disappeared in subjects exposed to high concentrations of PM_2.5 and its constituents NO₃⁻, NH₄⁺, and soil dust. <b>Conclusionb> Exposure to PM_2.5 and its constituents NO₃⁻, NH₄⁺, and soil dust could attenuate the protective effect of the DASH pattern on central obesity.

Although genome-wide association studies have identified more than eighty genetic variants associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) risk, biological mechanisms of these variants remain largely unknown. By integrating a large-scale genotype data of 15 581 lung adenocarcinoma (AD) cases, 8350 squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) cases, and 27 355 controls, as well as multiple transcriptome and epigenomic databases, we conducted histology-specific meta-analyses and functional annotations of both reported and novel susceptibility variants. We identified 3064 credible risk variants for NSCLC, which were overrepresented in enhancer-like and promoter-like histone modification peaks as well as DNase I hypersensitive sites. Transcription factor enrichment analysis revealed that USF1 was AD-specific while CREB1 was SqCC-specific. Functional annotation and gene-based analysis implicated 894 target genes, including 274 specifics for AD and 123 for SqCC, which were overrepresented in somatic driver genes (ER = 1.95, P = 0.005). Pathway enrichment analysis and Gene-Set Enrichment Analysis revealed that AD genes were primarily involved in immune-related pathways, while SqCC genes were homologous recombination deficiency related. Our results illustrate the molecular basis of both well-studied and new susceptibility loci of NSCLC, providing not only novel insights into the genetic heterogeneity between AD and SqCC but also a set of plausible gene targets for post-GWAS functional experiments.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the correlation between PD-L1 expression and dMMR related proteins in follicular thyroid carcinoma tissues and its clinical significance. Methods: The postoperative paraffin-embedded tissue samples from 60 patients with thyroid follicular carcinoma were collected from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University during January 2015 and June 2020. The collected samples were re-confirmed as thyroid follicular carcinoma tissues by Hematoxylin-eosin staining. The expression of PD-L1 and four homologous proteins encoded by four genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2) in MMR system were detected by immunohistochemistry in the cancer and paracancerous tissues. The relationship between the expression of PD-L1 and depletion of MMR related proteins in thyroid follicular carcinoma tissues and its clinical significance were analyzed. Results: The positive expression rate of PD-L1 was significantly higher in the follicular thyroid carcinoma tissues than that in paracancerous tissues [63.3%(38/60) vs 11.7%(7/60), P<0.05]. The expression of PD-L1 was significantly correlated with tumor diameter, extrathyroidal infiltration, vascular invasion and recurrence (all P<0.05). In the cancer tissue specimens from 60 patients, 24 (40.0%) had expression of four MMR related proteins, which were pMMR tumors, and 36 (60.0%) had depletion of one or more MMR related proteins, which were dMMR tumors. The dMMR-type thyroid follicular carcinoma was significantly correlated with the status of lymph node metastasis and tumor staging (all P<0.05). PD-L1 was positively correlated with the incidence of dMMR, and PD-L1 was an independent risk factor for disease recurrence, while dMMR was associated with a better prognosis. Patients with PD-L1+/pMMR type were associated with higher tumor malignancy, while patients with PD-L1+/dMMR type were not associated with tumor pathological features but may easily benefit from immunotherapy. Conclusion: Positive PD-L1 expression and dMMR highly occur in follicular thyroid carcinoma. PD-L1 is associated with the increased tumor invasion and is an independent risk factor for disease recurrence, while dMMR is an early molecular event in the development of thyroid follicular carcinoma and is associated with better prognosis of patients.

To address the increasing need for detecting and validating protein biomarkers in clinical specimens, mass spectrometry (MS)-based targeted proteomic techniques, including the selected reaction monitoring (SRM), parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), and massively parallel data-independent acquisition (DIA), have been developed. For optimal performance, they require the fragment ion spectra of targeted peptides as prior knowledge. In this report, we describe a MS pipe-line and spectral resource to support targeted proteomics studies for human tissue samples. To build the spectral resource, we integrated common open-source MS computational tools to assemble a freely accessible computational workflow based on Docker. We then applied the workflow to gen-erate DPHL, a comprehensive DIA pan-human library, from 1096 data-dependent acquisition (DDA) MS raw files for 16 types of cancer samples. This extensive spectral resource was then applied to a proteomic study of 17 prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Thereafter, PRM validation was applied to a larger study of 57 PCa patients and the differential expression of three proteins in prostate tumor was validated. As a second application, the DPHL spectral resource was applied to a study consisting of plasma samples from 19 diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients and 18 healthy control subjects. Differentially expressed proteins between DLBCL patients and healthy control subjects were detected by DIA-MS and confirmed by PRM. These data demonstrate that the DPHL supports DIA and PRM MS pipelines for robust protein biomarker discovery. DPHL is freely accessible at https://www.iprox.org/page/project.html?id=IPX0001400000.
