    查看更多>>摘要:AIM:To explore epigenetic changes in the gene encoding X chromosome-linked inhibitor of apoptosis-associated factor 1 (XAF1) during esophageal carcinogenesis.METHODS:Methylation status of XAF1 was detected by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) in four esophageal cancer cell lines (KYSE30,KYSE70,BIC1 and partially methylated in TE3 cell lines),nine cases of normal mucosa,72 cases of primary esophageal cancer and matched adjacent tissue.XAF1 expression was examined by semi-quantitative reverse transcriptional polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting before and after treatment with 5-aza-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dc),a demethylating agent.To investigate the correlation of XAF1 expression and methylation status in primary esophageal cancer,immunohistochemistry for XAF1 expression was performed in 32 cases of esophageal cancer and matched adjacent tissue.The association of methylation status and clinicopathological data was analyzed by logistic regression.RESULTS:MSP results were as follows:loss of XAF1 expression was found in three of four esophageal cell lines with promoter region hypermethylation (com pletely methylated in KYSE30,KYSE70 and BIC1 cell lines and partially in TE3 cells); all nine cases of normal esophageal mucosa were unmethylated; and 54/72 (75.00%) samples from patients with esophageal cancer were methylated,and 25/72 (34.70%) matched adjacent tissues were methylated (75.00% vs 34.70%,x2 =23.5840,P =0.000).mRNA level of XAF1 measured with semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was detectable only in TE3 cells,and no expression was detected in KYSE30,KYSE70 or BIC1 cells.Protein expression was not observed in KYSE30 cells by Western blotting before treatment with 5-aza-dc.After treatment,mRNA level of XAF1 was detectable in KYSE30,KYSE70 and BIC1 cells.Protein expression was detected in KYSE30 after treatment with 5-aza-dc.Immunohistochemistry was performed on 32 cases of esophageal cancer and adjacent tissue,and demonstrated XAF1 in the nucleus and cytoplasm.XAF1 staining was found in 20/32 samples of adjacent normal tissue but was present in only 8/32 samples of esophageal cancer tissue (x2=9.143,P =0.002).XAF1 expression was decreased in cancer samples compared with adjacent tissues.In 32 cases of esophageal cancer,24/32 samples were methylated,and 8/32 esophageal cancer tissues were unmethylated.XAF1 staining was found in 6/8 samples of unmethylated esophageal cancer and 2/24 samples of methylated esophageal cancer tissue.XAF1 staining was inversely correlated with XAF1 promoter region methylation (Fisher's exact test,P =0.004).Regarding methylation status and clinicopathological data,no significant differences were found in sex,age,tumor size,tumor stage,or metastasis with respect to methylation of XAF1 for the 72 tissue samples from patients with esophageal cancer.CONCLUSION:XAF1 is frequently methylated in esophageal cancer,and XAF1 expression is regulated by promoter region hypermethylation.

    查看更多>>摘要:AIM:To investigate whether DNA-dependent activator of interferon-regulatory factors (DAI) inhibits hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication and what the mechanism is.METHODS:After the human hepatoma cell line Huh7 was cotransfected with DAI and HBV expressing plasmid,viral protein (HBV surface antigen and HBV e antigen) secretion was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and HBV RNA was analyzed by realtime polymerase chain reaction and Northern blotting,and viral DNA replicative intermediates were examined by Southern blotting.Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) phosphorylation and nuclear translocation were analyzed via Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining respectively.Nuclear factor-kB (NF-KB) activity induced by DAI was detected by immunofluorescence staining of P65 and dual luciferase reporter assay.Transwell co-culture experiment was performed in order to investigate whether the antiviral effects of DAI were dependent on the secreted cytokines.RESULTS:Viral protein secretion was significantly reduced by 57% (P < 0.05),and the level of total HBV RNA was reduced by 67% (P < 0.05).The viral core particle-associated DNA was also dramatically downregulated in DAI-expressing Huh7 cells.Analysis of involved signaling pathways revealed that activation of NF-kB signaling was essential for DAI to elicit antiviral response in Huh7 cells.When the NF-kB signaling pathway was blocked by a NF-KB signaling suppressor (IKBα-SR),the anti-HBV activity of DAI was remarkably abrogated.The inhibitory effect of DAI was independent of IRF3 signaling and secreted cytokines.CONCLUSION:This study demonstrates that DAI can inhibit HBV replication and the inhibitory effect is associated with activation of NF-KB but independent of IRF3 and secreted cytokines.

    查看更多>>摘要:Recently,the development of endoscopic procedures has increased the availability of minimally invasive treatments; however,there have been few case reports of duodenal hemangioma treated by endoscopic mucosal resection.The present report describes a case of duodenal hemangioma that showed various endoscopic changes over time and was treated by endoscopic mucosal resection.An 80-year-old woman presented with tarry stools and a loss of appetite.An examination of her blood revealed severe anemia,and her hemoglobin level was 4.2 g/dL.An emergency upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed.A red,protrusive,semipedunculated tumor (approximately 20 mm in diameter) with spontaneous bleeding on its surface was found in the superior duodenal angle.Given the semipedunculated appearance of the tumor,it was suspected to be an epithelial tumor with a differential diagnosis of hyperplastic polyp.The biopsy results suggested a telangiectatic hemangioma.Because this lesion was considered to be responsible for her anemia,endoscopic mucosal resection was performed for diagnostic and treatment purposes after informed consent was obtained.A histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed dilated and proliferated capillary lumens of various sizes,which confirmed the final diagnosis of duodenal hemangioma.Neither anemia nor tumor recurrence has been observed since the endoscopic mucosal resection (approximately 1 year).Duodenal hemangiomas can be treated endoscopically provided that sufficient consideration is given to all of the possible treatment strategies.Interestingly,duodenal hemangiomas show morphological changes that are influenced by various factors,such as mechanical stimuli.

    查看更多>>摘要:We report a case of duodenal varix bleeding as a long term complication of balloon occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO),which was successfully treated with a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).A 57-year-old man was admitted to the emergency room suffering from melena.He had undergone BRTO to treat gastric varix bleeding 5 mo before admission.Endoscopy and a computed tomography (cr) scan showed complete obliteration of the gastric varix,but the nodular varices in the second portion of the duodenum expanded after BRTO,and spurting blood was seen.TIPS was performed for treatment of duodenal variceal bleeding,because attempts at endoscopic varix ligation were unsuccessful.The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged without complications.A follow up CT scan obtained 21 mo after TIPS revealed a patent TIPS tract and complete obliteration of duodenal varices,but multinodular hepatocellular carcinoma had developed.He died of hepatic failure 28 mo after TIPS.
