To further explore the molecular network of β-globin gene expression regulation, other long-range regulatory elements that may be involved in the regulation of β-globin gene expression were screened and the dynamic regulation and transformation mechanism of β-globin gene was deeply studied. Methods: Promyelocytic cells were induced to differentiate by all-trans retinoic acid. β-globin gene promoter region and LCR were used as the target sites for circular chromosome conformational capture (4C) analysis. Through sequencing and regulatory element analysis, the sites interacting with β-globin family loci were screened in the whole genome. Results: According to the results of 4C sequencing, the sites that interact with HBD promoter region and LCR were screened. Verified by chromosome conformational capture (3C), the results were consistent with those of sequencing. The functional analysis of regulatory elements by formaldehyde-assisted separation regulatory elements and Epiregio online website showed that the screening sites AC105129.4, AL354707.17, AC078785.22 and AC021646.35 were all potential regulatory elements involved in β-globin gene. Conclusion: The interaction between 4C screening site and anchor site showed the complex spatial organization of β-globin family loci in the nucleus.

Methods: A mouse model of S-AKI was induced by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP), and normal mice were used in the control group. Serum and renal tissue were collected from each group, respectively, and the levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) were detected by biochemical analyzer. The levels of lactate in serum and kidney tissue of mice in each group were detected by colorimetric method. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of miRNA-122 and pkm2 mRNA in kidney tissue in each group. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of PKM2 protein in kidney tissue in each group. Pearson's method was used to analyze the pairwise correlation of miRNA-122, PKM2 and lactate levels. Results: (1) Compared with the control group, the levels of BUN and Cr increased significantly after 12 h and 24 h of CLP treatment (P <0.05). (2) Compared with the control group, after 12 h and 24 h of CLP treatment, the levels of lactate in the serum and kidney tissue of the mice were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). (3) Compared with the control group, the expression of miRNA-122 in renal tissue began to decrease at 4 h after CLP, and decreased significantly at 12-24 h (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the expression of pKm2 mRNA and protein in renal tissue began to increase after 4 h of CLP, and increased significantly at 12-24 h (P<0.05). (4) Correlation analysis showed that miRNA-122 was significantly negatively correlated with lactate level (P<0.0001, r=-0.7167). There was a significant positive correlation between pkm2 mRNA and lactate level (P<0.0001, r=0.6817). There was a significant negative correlation between miRNA-122 and pkm2 mRNA expression (P<0.0001, r=-0.8122). Conclusion: In S-AKI, dysregulated expression of miRNA-122 may aggravate the occurrence and development of AKI by regulating the level of PKM2, and promoting aerobic glycolysis and lactate levels.

Methods: Hep3B cell lines were infected with lentiviral packaging of circLIFR expression plasmids to construct stable circLIFR high expression HCC cells. The lentivirus infected with circLIFR high expression sequence was used as the circLIFR high expression group, the lentivirus infected with circLIFR high expression empty vector sequence was used as the negative control group, and the uninfected group was used as the blank control group. After that, circLIFR expression levels were detected by qPCR, and the back splice sites were identified by Sanger sequencing. The cell viability was examined by cell proliferation kit and invasive ability was determined by Transwell assay. Results: The qPCR and Sanger sequencing showed that the stable circLIFR expression of Hep3B cells was successfully established. The circLIFR high expression group had better cell proliferation viability than the negative control and blank control groups, and the differences were statistically significant (P <0.05). The number of cells crossing Matrigel gel in the negative control and blank control groups was (270.8±18.9) and (266.2±17.6), respectively, while the number of cells crossing Matrigel gel in the circLIFR high expression group was (396.6±32.9), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: High circLIFR expression considerably promotes the proliferation and invasive ability of Hep3B cells.

Methods: Lieber-DeCarli alcoholic liquid feed was used to induce acute alcoholic liver injury in mice. Uniform design was used to select the best dosage combination of paeonol and geniposide, and the related indexes of liver injury and oxidative stress were detected by kit. Serum inflammatory factors were detected by ELISA, and the expressions of p38 MAPK, JNK and NF-κB P65 related proteins in liver were detected by Western-blot. Results: The regression equation suggested that paeonol: geniposide = 220: 20 was the best ratio of paeonol and geniposide to resist alcoholic liver injury. Compared with the model group, the liver injury indexes and oxidation products of the paeonol+geniposide group decreased significantly, the antioxidant activity of liver tissue increased significantly, and the expression levels of p-p38 MAPK, p-JNK and NF-κB P65 protein decreased significantly. Conclusion: The optimal dosage of paeonol-geniposide was effectively optimized by uniform design and pharmacodynamic analysis. The combination of the two drugs could reduce the alcoholic liver injury by reducing the oxidative stress injury and inflammatory response in the liver tissue of mice, and its effect might be related to the targeting of p38 MAPK/JNK/NF-κB channel.

    查看更多>>摘要:Objective: To construct a nomogram model for predicting the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients based on preoperative fibrinogen (Fbg), platelet to albumin ratio (PAR) and carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199). Methods: In this retrospective study, we included 323 patients who underwent colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery in our hospital. The preoperative test indexes and relevant clinicopathological data of the patients were collected. According to the cut-off value of Fbg and PAR calculated from the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, they were divided into the high and low expression groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to screen independent prognostic factors which were used to construct a nomogram. Results: According to ROC curve, the cut-off values of Fbg and PAR were 2.80 and 6.05. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that Fbg, PAR, CA199, TNM stage and grade were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients (P <0.05). Fbg, PAR, and CA199 jointly built the risk score that was included into the nomogram. The area under the curve (AUC) in the ROC of the training and verification set was greater than 0.6. The calibration curve and ideal curve fit well. Conclusion: The nomogram based on Fbg, PAR and CA199 has well accuracy and can provide individualized prediction for the overall survival of CRC patients.

Methods: Three datasets, GSE38666, GSE40595 and GSE54388, were downloaded from the Gene Expression Integrated Database database for differential gene (DEGs) screening, including 26 normal samples and 65 ovarian cancer samples. Gene ontology functional annotation of selected DEGs was performed through DAVID online database to clarify the biological characteristics of DEGs. The main pathways of DEGs were obtained by enrichment analysis using Kyoto gene and genomic encyclopedia method. Based on the STRING database, the DEGs protein-protein interaction network was constructed by using CytoScape software, and the key genes were screened by GEPIA2 database to verify the expression at the cell level. Results: A total of 238 DEGs were screened from GSE38666, GSE40595 and GSE54388 datasets, of which 168 DEGs were up-regulated and 70 DEGs were down-regulated. The co-expressed DEGs were mainly enriched in biological functions such as mitotic nuclear division, spindle, chromosomal region and DNA helicase activity in ovarian cancer. They were mainly involved in biological processes such as cell cycle, DNA replication, oxidative phosphorylation and biosynthesis of amino acids, thereby affecting the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer. Six genes were highly expressed and associated with the development of ovarian cancer, including IFI27, EPCAM, CXCR4, PEA15, CLDN3 and CAPG. Cell verification showed that the mRNA expression of the six genes in ovarian cancer cells was higher than that in normal ovarian cells (P<0.05), which was consistent with the previous screening results. Conclusion: Multi-chip integrated bioinformatics is an effective method to find ovarian cancer target genes. IFI27, EPCAM, CXCR4, PEA15, CLDN3 and CAPG are highly correlated with the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer, which can be used as target genes for ovarian cancer research.
