Purpose:
This study aimed to investigate the effect of the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) dependent ferroptosis on cisplatininduced Sertoli cell injury.
Materials and Methods:
A cisplatin exposure mouse model was established by intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin in our study. TM4 cell lines was used for in vitro study. Ferroptosis was detected according to metabolomic analysis and a series of assays, including malondialdehyde, glutathione, and glutathione disulfide concentration detection, 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate and BODIPY 581/591 C11 probe detection, and transmission electron microscope imaging. Key ferroptosis-related genes were identified via transcriptomic analysis, western blot and immunohistochemistry. The m6A modification was demonstrated via m6A RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays. Immune cell infiltration was detected by mass cytometry, and verified by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence.
Results:
Ferroptosis, but not other types of programmed cell death, is a significant phenomenon in cisplatin-induced testis damage and Sertoli cell loss. Ferroptosis induced by cisplatin in Sertoli cell/TM4 cell is GPX4 independent but is regulated by SLC7A11 and ALOX12. Both SLC7A11 and ALOX12 are regulated via m6A dependent manner by METTL3. Furthermore, overexpressed ALOX12-12HETE pathway may result in macrophage polarization and inflammatory response in cisplatin exposure testis.
Conclusions
Cisplatin-induced Sertoli cell injury via ferroptosis and promoted ferroptosis in an m6A dependent manner. m6A modification of both SLC7A11 and ALOX12 mRNA could result in ferroptosis in our in vitro model. Further, overexpressed ALOX12 can cause more production of 12-HETE, which may be responsible for testis inflammation caused by cisplatin.

Objective:To discuss the clinical and pathological features of the patients with renal oncocytoma.Methods:Making a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 35 patients with renal oncocytoma who were admitted to the department of urology in the First affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from January 2013 to August 2020, discussing their clinical features, pathological characteristics, treatment and prognosis. The age range of the 35 patients was 35-79 years, with an average age of (59.0±11.3) years, there were 15 males and 20 females. The tumors of the 35 patients were unilateral, concluded 22 cases on the left side and 13 cases on the right side.Among the 35 patients, the tumors of 7 cases located in the upper pole, 14 in the middle pole, and 14 in the lower pole. At the time of admission, 5 patients complained with flank pain, 3 patients had gross hematuria, and the other patients were found during physical examination or examination due to other diseases. In the imaging examination, there were 33 cases of ultrasound data, including 18 cases of hypoechoic, 10 cases of hyperechoic, 3 cases of isoechoic and 2 cases of mixed echo. The data of CT were collected in 30 cases. The tumors showed isointense or slightly hypointense on plain scan, after enhancement, it showed low enhancement with clear boundary to the renal parenchyma and 12 patients had typical central stellate scar sign. All patients accepted surgical treatment, including 23 cases of retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery and 12 cases of open surgery, but only 12 cases had partial nephrectomy.Results:The tumors were incised after the operation, the range of the tumors’diameter was 1.3-14.0 cm, with an average of (4.0±2.3) cm. The color of the cross-section was tawny in 14 cases, mahogany in 19 cases and 2 cases of other colors. The typical features of tumor cell under microscope were arranged in nests, alveolar or tubular shapes, the cells were round or polygonal.The cell size was uniform, the cytoplasm was rich in eosinophilic granules, the nuclei was deeply stained and the nucleoli was small. There are 9 indicators reach to 20 cases in immunohistochemical stain, and the positive rates of each indicator are respectively EMA 100.0%(23/23), E-cadherin 100.0%(20/20), CK 96.2%(25/26), CD117 95.5%(21/22), p504S(AMACR)35.0%(7/20), CD10 33.3%(9/27), CK7 31.0%(9/29), Vimentin 17.2%(5/29), Ki-67(0/28). Thirty-five patients were followed up after surgery, 4 patients were lost to follow-up, and the follow-up time of the other 31 patients ranged from 7 to 90 months, with an average of (46.9±25.0) months. All patients had a good prognosis without recurrence or metastasis. Among them, 3 patients had mild renal insufficiency in a short time after operation, and they have all recovered. Three patients with gross hematuria before the operation disappeared after the operation. In 5 patients with low back pain, only two patients felt significant improvement, and the other three still felt intermittent episodes of dull lumbar pain.Conclusions:Renal oncocytoma is a relatively rare benign tumor of the kidney. Because of the lack of effective diagnostic methods, it is difficult to differentiate from renal malignant tumors preoperatively. Pathological results are the golden standard for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of renal oncocytoma. The main treatment of renal oncocytoma is surgery, and after surgery, the patient's prognosis is good, but renal oncocytoma has the possibility of recurrence and metastasis, regular follow-up and surveillance are still required.
7.Don't abandon the resource of clinical practice: suggestion about clinical research from 35 years of medical work
Chinese Journal of Urology 2020;41(4):241-242
Clinical scientific research is based on clinical reality, through organized scientific behavior, to answer the difficult questions encountered in clinical work, so as to improve the level of clinical diagnosis and treatment. After 35 years of medical work, I have gotten some insights in the practice of clinical scientific research. First, in order to do a good job in clinical scientific research, we have to be good at finding problems in clinical practice and pay attention to the collection of clinical data. Second, we should be diligent in learning and good at thinking. Young doctors should deal with the problems encountered in clinical work, combine with learning and think repeatedly, determine new problems, and then look for literature to study, in order to find out clinical research topics. Third, we should have a clear theme and continue to dig in depth. When having a clear research direction, it is suggested to carry out in-depth research from clinical practice to clinical basis, gradually form a scientific research system, and improve young doctors’own professional ability and professional quality. Clinical research should be the starting point and lasting driving force for success of young doctors.
