METTL14 modulates glycolysis to inhibit colorectal tumorigenesis in p53-wild-type cells. EMBO Rep 2023; 24:e56325.

Abstract
The frequency of p53 mutations in colorectal cancer (CRC) is approximately 40-50%. A variety of therapies are being developed to target tumors expressing mutant p53. However, potential therapeutic targets for CRC expressing wild-type p53 are rare. In this study, we show that METTL14 is transcriptionally activated by wild-type p53 and suppresses tumor growth only in p53-wild-type (p53-WT) CRC cells. METTL14 deletion promotes both AOM/DSS and AOM-induced CRC growth in mouse models with the intestinal epithelial cell-specific knockout of METTL14. Additionally, METTL14 restrains aerobic glycolysis in p53-WT CRC, by repressing SLC2A3 and PGAM1 expression via selectively promoting m6 A-YTHDF2-dependent pri-miR-6769b/pri-miR-499a processing. Biosynthetic mature miR-6769b-3p and miR-499a-3p decrease SLC2A3 and PGAM1 levels, respectively, and suppress malignant phenotypes. Clinically, METTL14 only acts as a beneficial prognosis factor for the overall survival of p53-WT CRC patients. These results uncover a new mechanism for METTL14 inactivation in tumors and, most importantly, reveal that the activation of METTL14 is a critical mechanism for p53-dependent cancer growth inhibition, which could be targeted for therapy in p53-WT CRC.

Abstract
TMB-5 nucleating agent (NA) treated by different solvents were used as the β-NA of iPP. The effects of temperature on the crystalline structure of different iPP/TMB-5, as well as the crystallization and melting behaviors were investigated. It was found that strong polar solvent treated TMB-5 (TMB-5DMSO and TMB-5DMF) could induce more β-crystal at high Tc = 140 °C than the other TMB-5 NAs, while the β-crystal inducing efficiency of untreated TMB-5 (TMB-5UT) and non-polar solvent treated TMB-5 (TMB-5LP) is seriously reduced at high Tc = 140 °C. TMB-5DMSO can induce a high and stable content of β-crystal with Kβ = 83-94% within Tc = 90-140 °C, and TMB-5ODCB can induce a high content of β-crystal with Kβ > 91.3% within Tc = 90-130 °C. TMB-5DMF is the most temperature-sensitive one, but can induce a high fraction of β-crystal with Kβ > 92% both at low Tc = 90 °C and high Tc = 140 °C. High temperature pre-crystallization at Tpc = 150 °C tremendously reduces the β-crystal inducing efficiency of all TMB-5 NAs. TMB-5UT and TMB-5LP exhibit higher nucleating efficiency than TMB-5DMSO, TMB-5DMF and TMB-5ODCB. During the non-isothermal crystallization process, TMB-5UT induced β-crystal possesses higher structural perfection and stability, while TMB-5LP is more likely to induce α-crystal with considerable quantity and stability. The structural perfection and stability of TMB-5 induced β-crystal can be enhanced with appropriate increasing of Tc.

Abstract
Elymus sibiricus L. is a perennial forage species that has potential to serve as a forage source in livestock grazing systems. However, E. sibiricus has been shown to have a rapid and substantial reduction of aboveground biomass and seed yield after 3 or 4 years and an accelerated aging process. To determine possible aging mechanisms, we planted E. sibiricus seeds in triplicate blocks in 2012, 2015, and 2016, respectively, and harvested samples of leaves and roots at the jointing and heading stages in 2018 and 2019 to determine oxidative indices and endogenous hormones. The fresh aboveground biomass of 4- and 5-year old plants declined by 34.2% and 52.4% respectively compared with 3-year old plants, and the seed yield declined by 12.7% and 34.1%, respectively. The water content in leaves was 51.7%, 43.3%, and 35.6%, and net photosynthesis was 7.73, 6.35, and 2.08 µmol/m2·s in 3-, 4-, and 5-year old plants, respectively. The superoxide anion radical generation rate in leaves and roots did not show any aging pattern. There was a non-significant increase in malondialdehyde concentration with plant age, particularly in leaves and roots at the heading stage in 2019. The superoxide dismutase activity showed a declining trend with age of plant roots at the jointing stage in both 2018 and 2019. The peroxidase activity declined with plant age in both leaves and roots, for example, and the catalase activity in roots 4- and 7-year old plants declined by 13.8% and 0.85%, respectively, compared to 3-year old plants at the heading stage in 2018. Therefore, the reduced capacity of the antioxidant system may lead to oxidative stress during plant aging process. Overall, the concentrations of plant hormones, auxin (IAA), gibberellin (GA), zeatin (ZT), and abscisic acid (ABA) were significantly lower in roots than in leaves. The IAA concentration in leaves and roots exhibited different patterns with plant age. The ZT concentrations in leaves of 3-year old plants was 2.39- and 2.62-fold of those in 4- and 7-year old plants, respectively at the jointing stage, and in roots, the concentration declined with plant age. The changes in the GA concentration with plant age varied between the physiological stages and between years. The ABA concentrations appeared to increase with plant age, particularly in leaves. In conclusion, the aging process of E. sibiricus was apparently associated with an increase in oxidative stress, a decrease of ZT and an increase of ABA, particularly in roots. These findings highlight the effects of plant age on the antioxidant and endogenous hormone activity of E. sibiricus. However, these plant age-related trends showed variations between plant physiological stages and between harvest years that needs to be researched in the future to develop strategies to manage this forage species.

Abstract
In order to investigate the optimization of the performance and structure of a tungsten crucible CVD reactor, the CFD simulation method was used in this paper to simulate the internal flow of the tungsten crucible CVD reactor. The velocity distribution and temperature distribution in the reactor were obtained. The simulation results show that the axial and radial heat convection will occur between the susceptor and the outer wall surface, but the axial heat convection is more intense. Moreover, it was found that the temperature distribution in the CVD reactor was more uniform and reasonable when the upper gas inlet was applied, which was beneficial to the reduction and deposition processes of tungsten. The molar ratio of H2 to WF6 has a great influence on the deposition rate of tungsten, and excess H2 is not conducive to the deposition of tungsten. Thermal radiation has a great influence on the temperature distribution of CVD reactors. It cannot be neglected.

Abstract
To explore highly selective targeting molecules of colorectal cancer (CRC) is a challenge. We previously identified a twelve-amino acid peptide (LPKTVSSDMSLN, namely P-LPK) by phage display technique which may specifically binds to CRC cells. Here we show that P-LPK selectively bind to a panel of human CRC cell lines and CRC tissues. In vivo, Gallium-68 (68Ga) labeled P-LPK exhibits selective accumulation at tumor sites. Then, we designed a peptide-conjugated drug comprising P-LPK and camptothecin (CPT) (namely P-LPK-CPT), and found P-LPK-CPT significantly inhibits tumor growth with fewer side effects in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, through co-immunoprecipitation and molecular docking experiment, the glutamine transporter solute carrier 1 family member 5 (SLC1A5) was identified as the possible target of P-LPK. The binding ability of P-LPK and SLC1A5 is verified by surface plasmon resonance and immunofluorescence. Taken together, P-LPK-CPT is highly effective for CRC and deserves further development as a promising anti-tumor therapeutic for CRC, especially SLC1A5-high expression type. A peptide that specifically targets amino acid transporter SLC1A5 in colorectal cancer cells is identified and conjugated with camptothecin to show selective cytotoxicity to colorectal cancer cells in preclinical models.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to examine the independent roles of various childhood maltreatment (CM) subtypes in the development of depression; quantify the joint mediation effect of social support and mastery in the association between subtypes of CM and depression and examine the additional contribution of mastery beyond the effect that is operating through social support to this relationship. METHODS Data analysed were from the Zone d'Épidémiologie Psychiatrique du Sud-Ouest de Montréal, an ongoing longitudinal population-based study. In total, 1351 participants with complete information on the studied variables were included. The propensity score matching and inverse-probability weighted regression adjustment estimation methods were used to minimise the potential confounding in the relationship between CM and major depression. We then used inverse odds ratio-weighted estimation to estimate the direct effects of maltreatment and indirect effects of social support and mastery. RESULTS We found that exposures to all maltreatment subtypes increased the risk of subsequent depression. The joint mediating effect of social support and mastery explained 37.63-46.97% of the association between different maltreatment subtypes and depression. The contribution of these two mediators differed by maltreatment subtypes, with social support being the major contributor to the mediating effect. CONCLUSIONS The findings of the study not only provide scientific evidence on the importance of psychosocial attributes in the development of major depression but also suggest that prevention and invention strategies should focus on these psychosocial attributes to effectively break the vicious cycle of CM on major depression.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is one of the main treatments for colorectal cancer, but systemic toxicity severely limits its clinical use. Packaging hydrophobic chemotherapeutic drugs in targeted nanoparticles greatly improve their efficacy and reduce side effects. We previously identified a novel colorectal cancer specific binding peptide P-LPK (LPKTVSSDMSLN) from phage display peptide library. Here we designed a self-assembled paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded nanoparticle (LPK-PTX NPs). LPK-PTX NPs displayed a superior intracellular internalization and improved tumor cytotoxicity in vitro. Cy5.5-labeled LPK-PTX NPs showed much higher tumor accumulation in colorectal cancer-bearing mice. Furthermore, LPK-PTX NPs exhibit enhanced antitumor activity and decreased systemic toxicity in colorectal cancer patient-derived xenografts (PDX) model. The excellent in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficacy proves the improved targeting drug delivery, suggesting that peptide P-LPK has potential to provide a novel approach for enhanced drug delivery with negligible systemic toxicity.

Abstract
Background: We aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of transurethral flexible ureteroscopic incision and drainage with holmium laser in the treatment of parapelvic renal cysts. Materials and Methods: Between October 2017 and April 2021, the clinical data of 65 patients with parapelvic renal cysts were evaluated retrospectively. Thirty-one patients with parapelvic cysts (Group 1) underwent a transurethral flexible ureteroscopic incision and drainage with a holmium laser, whereas the other 34 patients (Group 2) underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic unroofing. The patients' clinical features were documented. The surgery time, intraoperative blood loss, hospitalization time, complications and cyst size were recorded and statistically assessed one year following the procedure. Results: All of the patients were successfully treated with flexible ureteroscopic incision and drainage or retroperitoneal laparoscopic unroofing. In terms of clinical parameters, such as age, gender, BMI, location, cyst size, and Bosniak classification of renal cysts, no statistically significant difference was detected between Groups 1 and 2. Compared to the control group (Group 2), Group 1 demonstrated a shorter surgery duration, less intraoperative blood loss, and a shorter hospital stay (p < 0.001). However, no significant differences in complications and cyst size were observed between the two groups one year after the surgery (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Transurethral flexible ureteroscopic incision and drainage with holmium laser in the treatment of parapelvic renal cysts has obvious advantages over traditional surgery, and is worthy of advancement and application, but its long-term effect needs further follow-up studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy recommends 4L Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) as the standard regimen for bowel preparation (BP). The current study compared 3L and 4L PEG with regard to their effectiveness, tolerability, and safety among Chinese patients to identify the best bowel cleansing method for this population. METHODS The study employed a prospective, observer-blinded, randomized and controlled design in a high-volume endoscopic center. Consecutive patients undergoing colonoscopy were randomly assigned (1:1) to the 3L-PEG or 4L-PEG group. The quality of bowel cleansing, procedure time, adenoma detection rate (ADR), patient tolerance, and adverse events were compared. RESULTS A total of 330 patients were included in the study. After exclusions, 160 cases in the 3L-PEG group and 158 cases in the 4L-PEG group were included in the final analysis. The quality of bowel cleansing (Boston Bowel Preparation Scale) for both the whole intestine and each segment had no significant differences between the groups (P > 0.05). No significant differences were found with regard to procedure time or ADR. The incidences of adverse events such as nausea (P = 0.001), vomiting (P = 0.002), and bloating (P < 0.001) were lower in the 3L-PEG group. Moreover, there was a higher rate of satisfaction in the 3L-PEG group than in the 4L-PEG group (P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS 3L-PEG bowel cleansing represents an optimal alternative to a 4L-PEG preparation, showing similar efficacy and superior levels of satisfaction, acceptability, and safety among users. We recommend 3L PEG as a routine regimen in the clinical setting for Chinese patients. (ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT03356015, registered in 29 November, 2017, https://www.

Abstract
Objective: Assess the 10-year Immune persistence and the predictors after primary vaccination hepatitis B vaccine (HepB) among normal and high-responder infants. Methods: A total of 1 838 Infants of 7-12 months old located in Jinan, Weifang, Yantai and Weihai of Shandong Province who were induced normal or high antibody response (anti-HBs titer ≥ 100 mIU/ml) after primary vaccination (three dose with 0-1-6 procedure) with 5 μg recombinant HepB among newborns were included in the study, in 2009. 3 ml of venous blood samples were collected at baseline survey (T0) and antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs), antibody against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) were detected using chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) method. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect information including the infant's age, sex, birth weight, premature birth, birth number, delivery location and mother's HBV infection status. In 2014 (followed up for 5 years) and in 2019 (followed up for 10 years) (T1), 2 ml of venous blood samples were collected. Anti HBS and anti HBC were detected by CMIA method. Those with anti HBS<10 mIU/ml were detected by CMIA method. Multivariate unconditional logistic and linear regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors of anti-HBs positive rate and geometric mean concentration (GMC) at T1. Results: After 10 years follow-up, 73.94% of the subjects (1 359/1 835) finished the follow-up. 51.15% of the subjects, a total of 625 were boys. The positive rate of anti-HBs was 100% at T0 and decreased to 53.44% (95%CI: 50.59%-56.26%) at T1. The average annual decline rate of anti-HBs positive rate from T0 to T1 was 6.07%. The GMC of anti-HBs decreased from 607.89 (95%CI: 579.01-642.62) mIU/ml to 16.44 (95%CI: 15.06-18.00) mIU/ml. The average annual decline rate of anti-HBs GMC in 10-year follow-up was 30.30%. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the positive rate of anti-HBs at T1 was lower in those who did not vaccinate the first dose in time (OR=0.25, 95%CI:0.07-0.71). Compared with those with GMC<1 000 mIU/ml at T0, those with GMC ≥ 1 000 mIU/ml had a higher positive rate of anti-HBs at T1 (OR=2.29, 95%CI:1.76-2.97). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the GMC of anti-HBs at T1 was lower in those who did not vaccinate the first dose in time (β=-0.50, 95%CI:-1.24-0.24). Compared with those with GMC<1 000 mIU/ml at T0, those with GMC ≥ 1 000 mIU/ml had a higher GMC of anti-HBs at T1 (β=0.81, 95%CI: 0.62-1.05). Conclusion: Anti-HBs GMC decreased in 10 years after primary vaccination of 5 μg recombinant hepatitis B vaccine among normal and high-responders. The anti-HBs persistence was mainly associated with whether the first dose was vaccinated in time and the level of anti-HBs at the end of primary vaccination.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The present study was the first prospective cohort evaluated the efficacy and safety of different doses of calcitriol in XLH children. The results suggested that a dose of 40 ng/kg/day calcitriol, compared with 20 ng/kg/day, was more effective in relieving the rickets, with similar safety outcomes. Further investigations were expected to set more dose groups. INTRODUCTION Dose recommended for calcitriol in X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) varies in different studies. Therefore, we aimed to compare the efficacy as well as the safety of 20 ng/kg/d and 40 ng/kg/d calcitriol in Chinese XLH pediatrics population. METHODS A 2-year, randomized, open-label, prospective study recruited 68 XLH children, which were randomized to receive either 40 ng/kg/day or 20 ng/kg/day calcitriol. Efficacy endpoints were the total Thacher ricket severity score (RSS) change from baseline to month 12 and 24, the difference in serum TALP level, fasting serum phosphate level, body height Z-score, and frequency of dental abscess. Safety assessments were done using renal ultrasound nephrocalcinosis grades (0-4), fasting serum and 24 h urine calcium level, and the occurrence of hyperparathyroidism. RESULTS The decrease in the total RSS from baseline was more significant in the high-dose group at 12 (difference 0.87, p = 0.049) and 24 month (difference 1.23, p = 0.011). The serum TALP level was significantly lower in the high-dose group at 6 months. Pi level, height Z-score change, frequency of dental abscess and ratio of de novo nephrocalcinosis were comparable. A lower incidence of secondary hyperparathyroidism was seen in the high-dose group (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION For the first time in this prospective cohort, 40 ng/kg/d calcitriol was shown to be the more effective therapy in XLH children than the 20 ng/kg/d. Moreover, 40 ng/kg/d calcitriol was not associated with increasing adverse events. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT 03,820,518.

Abstract
BackgroundFor patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), delays in diagnosis and treatment can lead to permanent radiographic damage, even early in the course of disease.1 In the phase 3 FUTURE 5 study (NCT02404350), treatment with secukinumab (SEC) was shown to inhibit progression of structural damage through Week 104 in patients with PsA.2 However, the effect of disease duration on inhibition of radiographic progression by SEC has not been characterized.ObjectivesThis post hoc analysis explored relationships between time since diagnosis (TSD) of ≤1 year vs >1 year and radiographic progression among patients with PsA receiving SEC over 2 years in FUTURE 5.MethodsPatient data from FUTURE 5 were stratified by TSD ≤1 year vs >1 year and analyzed by treatment arm. Through Week 24, patients received SEC 300 or 150 mg with subcutaneous loading dose (LD), SEC 150 mg without LD, or placebo (PBO) (period 1). After Week 24, patients receiving PBO were switched to SEC 300 or 150 mg (period 2), and a protocol amendment allowed those with suboptimal clinical response to SEC 150 mg to escalate to SEC 300 mg after Week 52 per investigator judgment.2 The proportion of patients with no radiographic progression, defined as change from baseline in van der Heijde total modified Sharp score ≤0.0, was analyzed at Weeks 24, 52, and 104. Mean total Sharp score was evaluated at baseline, and mean change from baseline was determined at Weeks 24, 52, and 104.ResultsOf 996 patients with PsA included here, 217 (21.8%) had a TSD ≤1 year and 779 (78.2%) had a TSD >1 year. At baseline, patients with TSD >1 year had greater radiographic damage than patients with TSD ≤1 year as determined by mean total Sharp score (Table 1). As early as Week 24, patients receiving SEC had less radiographic progression than those receiving PBO, regardless of TSD. From Week 24 to Week 104, radiographic progression remained low among all patients receiving SEC, with a trend of least progression among patients randomized to SEC 300 mg at baseline. Regardless of treatment, patients with TSD >1 year had numerically greater radiographic progression than those patients with TSD ≤1 year. Overall, the proportion of patients receiving SEC who did not have any radiographic progression was higher than that of placebo at Week 24 irrespective of TSD, with a trend towards a higher number of non-progressors among those treated with SEC 300 mg (Figure). Patients randomized to SEC 300 mg were the least likely to experience radiographic progression through 52 weeks.Table 1.Baseline Total Sharp Score and Change From Baseline at Weeks 24, 52, and 104 by TSDTotal Sharp scoreTSD ≤1 yearTSD >1 yearPeriod 1SEC 300 mg n = 54SEC 150 mg n = 46SEC 150 mg NL n = 43PBO n = 74SEC 300 mg n = 168SEC 150 mg n = 174SEC 150 mg NL n = 179PBO n = 258Baseline, mean (SD)8.02 (20.77)8.82 (12.06)12.74 (33.67)8.84 (20.42)14.37 (24.17)14.67 (28.01)15.56 (37.52)17.34 (41.21)Week 24 change from baseline, mean (SD)0.05 (0.72)−0.08 (1.40)−0.61 (5.25)0.76 (2.05)0.09 (1.37)0.23 (1.24)0.03 (2.05)0.42 (1.56)Period 2SEC 300 mg* n = 54SEC 150 mg†n = 46SEC 150 mg NL†n = 43PBO ‒ 300 mg n = 40PBO ‒ 150 mg†n = 30SEC 300 mg* n = 168SEC 150 mg†n = 174SEC 150 mg NL†n = 179PBO ‒ 300 mg n = 113PBO ‒ 150 mg†n = 123Week 52 change from baseline, mean (SD)0.05 (0.48)−0.03 (1.22)0.35 (2.25)0.22 (0.70)0.18 (0.75)−0.07 (1.16)0.26 (1.96)0.26 (1.05)0.16 (0.94)0.40 (2.00)Week 104 change from baseline, mean (SD)0.06 (0.63)0.11 (0.99)0.20 (2.71)0.11 (0.68)−0.07 (0.50)0.11 (2.00)0.62 (2.94)0.46 (2.08)0.12 (0.90)0.81 (2.66)NL, no loading dose; PBO, placebo; SEC, secukinumab; TSD, time since diagnosis.* One outlier in the 300-mg dose group was excluded.† Includes patients who received dose escalation to SEC 300 mg after Week 52.ConclusionSEC resulted in low rates of radiographic progression through 2 years of treatment among patients in FUTURE 5, regardless of time since PsA diagnosis.References[1]Haroon M, et al.

Abstract
BackgroundBone erosion is a clinical feature of rheumatoid arthritis related to disease severity and poor functional prognosis. Excessive osteoclast differentiation and insufficient osteoblast function are the main reasons for the erosive process in RA. Our previous investigation indicated that L-arginine supplementation not only diminished arthritic inflammation in the serum-induced arthritis (K/BxN) model but also decreased inflammatory joints osteoclast numbers (1).ObjectivesIn the present study, we aim to investigate the metabolic action of L-arginine supplementation in RA, especially on periarticular bone erosion and systemic bone loss. We plan to depict the metabolic features of TNFα induced inflammatory osteoclasts after in vitro L-arginine supplementation.MethodsThree murine arthritis models (serum-induced arthritis (K/BxN) model, collagen-induced arthritis model, and hTNFtg mice model) were analysed in this study. L-arginine was supplemented within the drinking water after the onset of arthritis. Bone parameters for axial skeleton (spine) and peripheral skeleton (tibia) from the respective group were quantified by μCT. HE and TRAP staining were performed to address further the erosion area and osteoclast numbers in periarticular sites. In vitro osteoclast differentiation was conducted with or without L-arginine treatment, in the presence or not of TNFα activation. Seahorse and SCENITH analyses were adopted to delineate the metabolic features. JC-1 staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to depict the mitochondria metabolism. RNA-seq and mass spectrometry (MS) were performed to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism.ResultsInflammation was diminished in all three arthritis models after L-arginine supplementation with a significant reduction in arthritic score. Moreover, an amelioration of periarticular bone erosion, systemic bone loss, and decreased osteoclast numbers in periarticular sites were observed in arthritic mice after L-arginine treatment. L-arginine also inhibited osteoclastogenesis in vitro, particularly under TNFα activation. Seahorse and SCENITH analyses indicated TNFα promoted glycolysis while blocking mitochondria-driven oxidative phosphorylations (OXPHOS) in pre-osteoclasts. Meanwhile, JC-1 staining and TEM images also showed that TNFα decreased mitochondria membrane potential and prompted damage of mitochondria. Surprisingly, L-arginine rescued the TNFα inhibition of OXPHOS while promoting ATP production.RNA-seq and MS data confirmed the boost of OXPHOS after L-arginine treatment under TNFα activation. To interfere with OXPHOS, L-arginine inhibited cJun thus altered arginase-1 and arginase-2 expression. Moreover, the increased ATP in L-arginine treated cells facilitated purine metabolism, especially the production of inosine and hypoxanthine, contributing to the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis. Increasing Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is essential for the production of inosine and hypoxanthine due to the decreased inhibitory regulation of the transcription factor c-Jun.ConclusionThese data strongly demonstrated that L-arginine ameliorates bone erosion in RA through metabolic reprogramming and perturbation of purine metabolism in osteoclasts. L-arginine might therefore benefit RA therapy by reducing joint inflammation and also ameliorating bone destruction.References[1]Hannemann, Nicole, et al. “Transcription factor Fra-1 targets arginase-1 to enhance macrophage-mediated inflammation in arthritis.” The Journal of clinical investigation 129.7 (2019): 2669-2684.Disclosure of InterestsShan Cao: None declared, Rui Song: None declared, Xianyi Meng: None declared, Katerina Kachler: None declared, Maximilian Fuchs: None declared, Xinyu Meng: None declared, Yixuan Li: None declared, Verena Taudte: None declared, Meik Kunz: None declared, Ursula Schloetzer-Schrehardt: None declared, Ulrike Schleicher: None declared, Xiaoxiang Chen Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Roche and Novartis, Georg Schett Speakers bureau: AbbVie, BMS, Celgene, Janssen, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Roche and UCB, Aline Bozec: None declared.

Abstract
BackgroundWhile a so-called gut-joint axis is supported by many clinical observations, the current knowledge on such axis is mostly confined to descriptive and correlative data, e.g. showing the microbiota changes are associated with arthritis. In contrast, mechanistic data on how molecular changes in the intestinal epithelium influence the development of arthritis are scarce.ObjectivesTo investigate, whether the mucosal barrier in the intestine dependent of the epithelial cell survival maintenance, influences the development of arthritis.MethodsIntestinal hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α expression was assessed before, at onset and during experimental arthritis and human rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Intestinal epithelial cell-specific HIF1α conditional knock-out mice were generated (HIF1αΔIEC) and subjected to collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Clinical and histological courses of arthritis were recorded, and T and B cell subsets were analyzed in the gut and secondary lymphatic organs, and intestinal epithelial cells were subjected to molecular mRNA sequencing in HIF1αΔIEC and littermate control mice. Furthermore, pharmacologic HIF1α stabilization by PHD inhibitor was used for the treatment of arthritis.ResultsIntestinal HIF1α expression peaked at onset and remained high in experimental arthritis and RA. Conditionally deletion of HIF1α in gut epithelial cells strongly exacerbate arthritis and was associated with increased gut epithelial cell death, intestinal and lymphatic Th1 and Th17 activation. Mechanistically, HIF1α inhibits the transcription of necroptotic and apoptotic markers, which leads to a defect in the intestinal barrier integrity. Furthermore, treatment with HIF1α stabilization reinforced the gut epithelial cell survival and inhibited arthritis.ConclusionThese findings show that the HIF1α regulating epithelial cells survival is critical for the breakdown of the intestinal barrier function in arthritis highlighting the functional link between intestinal homeostasis and arthritis.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared.

Abstract
BackgroundPatients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) experience inflammation that may result in structural damage and disability. In the phase 3 FUTURE 5 study, treatment with secukinumab (SEC) inhibited radiographic progression and led to sustained remission and low disease activity (LDA) through Week 104.1,2ObjectivesThis post hoc analysis of FUTURE 5 explored relationships between radiographic progression status and achievement of LDA or remission in patients treated with SEC.MethodsPatients were randomized 2:2:2:3 to receive SEC 300 mg with loading dose (LD), 150 mg LD, SEC 150 mg without LD, or placebo (PBO) at Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, and every 4 weeks thereafter until Week 24. In this post hoc analysis, patients were grouped by radiographic progression status at Week 24 (non-radiographic progressors: change from baseline in modified total Sharp score [mTSS] ≤0.0; radiographic progressors: change from baseline in mTSS >0.0). Efficacy (achievement of Minimal Disease Activity [MDA] or Very Low Disease Activity [VLDA] and their individual components, and Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis [DAPSA] LDA or remission) was assessed at Week 24.ResultsOf 933 patients with available data, 675 (72.3%) were classified as non-radiographic progressors and 258 (27.7%) were radiographic progressors at Week 24. Non-progressors at Week 24 were more likely than progressors to achieve DAPSA LDA and remission at Week 24 across all treatment arms (Figure 1A). In addition, non-progressors were more likely to achieve MDA and VLDA at Week 24 than progressors across all treatment arms (Figure 1B). Similar trends were observed for all of the individual MDA/VLDA criteria at Week 24 among patients treated with SEC 300 mg or SEC 150 mg LD (Table 1). Notably, non-progressors were more likely to achieve improvements in physical function, pain, and patient global assessment of disease activity than progressors across all treatment arms.Table 1.Proportion of Patients Achieving MDA/VLDA Components at Week 24 Grouped by Radiographic Progression Status at Week 24Week 24 non-progressorsWeek 24 progressorsOutcome, n/N (%)SEC 300 mg n = 166SEC 150 mg n = 150SEC 150 mg NL n = 159PBO n = 200SEC 300 mg n = 51SEC 150 mg n = 63SEC 150 mg NL n = 51PBO n = 93TJC78 ≤152/161 (32.3)46/146 (31.5)37/150 (24.7)38/196 (19.4)15/50 (30.0)13/62 (21.0)13/49 (26.5)11/90 (12.2)SJC76 ≤1105/160 (65.6)85/146 (58.2)83/150 (55.3)88/196 (44.9)32/50 (64.0)28/62 (45.2)20/49 (40.8)30/90 (33.3)PASI ≤1 or BSA ≤3%99/128 (77.3)90/128 (70.3)69/109 (63.3)64/153 (41.8)29/38 (76.3)27/47 (57.4)28/40 (70.0)26/70 (37.1)Patient pain VAS ≤1557/144 (39.6)50/133 (37.6)50/141 (35.5)33/179 (18.4)14/42 (33.3)15/60 (25.0)13/43 (30.2)7/82 (8.5)PtGA VAS ≤2063/145 (43.4)47/125 (37.6)50/135 (37.0)39/173 (22.5)13/41 (31.7)14/61 (23.0)13/41 (31.7)7/81 (8.6)HAQ-DI ≤0.572/135 (53.3)55/118 (46.6)54/122 (44.3)47/158 (29.7)13/39 (33.3)18/58 (31.0)17/39 (43.6)19/77 (24.7)Tender entheseal points ≤170/87 (80.5)44/63 (69.8)42/76 (55.3)45/88 (51.1)13/18 (72.2)17/31 (54.8)11/19 (57.9)23/38 (60.5)BSA, body surface area; HAQ-DI, Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index; MDA, Minimal Disease Activity; NL, no loading dose; PASI, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index; PBO, placebo; PtGA, patient global assessment of disease activity; SEC, secukinumab; SJC, swollen joint count; TJC, tender joint count; VAS, visual analog scale; VLDA, Very Low Disease Activity.ConclusionPatients who did not have radiographic progression over 6 months of SEC treatment were more likely to achieve LDA or remission and improvement in physical function at Week 24.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death world-wide and its treatment remains a challenge in clinic, especially for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Thus, more effective therapeutic strategies are required for NSCLC treatment. Quercetin (Que) as a natural flavonoid compound has gained increasing interests due to its anticancer activity. However, poor water solubility, low bioavailability, short half-life, and weak tumor accumulation hinder in vivo applications and antitumor effects of Que. In this study, we developed Que-loaded mixed micelles (Que-MMICs) assembled from 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine–poly(ethylene glycol)–biotin (DSPE–PEG–biotin) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate–poly[2-(dimethylamino) ethyl acrylate]–polycaprolactone (PEGMA–PDMAEA–PCL) for NSCLC treatment. The results showed that Que was efficiently encapsulated into the mixed micelles and the encapsulation efficiency (EE) was up to 85.7%. Cellular uptake results showed that biotin conjugation significantly improved 1.2-fold internalization of the carrier compared to that of non-targeted mixed micelles. In vitro results demonstrated that Que-MMICs could improve cytotoxicity (IC50 = 7.83 μg/mL) than Que-MICs (16.15 μg/mL) and free Que (44.22 μg/mL) to A549 cells, which efficiently induced apoptosis and arrested cell cycle. Furthermore, Que-MMICs showed satisfactory tumor targeting capability and antitumor efficacy possibly due to the combination of enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) and active targeting effect. Collectively, Que-MMICs demonstrated high accumulation at tumor site and exhibited superior anticancer activity in NSCLC bearing mice model.

Abstract
Filled and unfilled Sr2NaNb5O15-based tungsten bronze ceramics based on Gd doping were prepared using a traditional solid-state reaction method. Relaxor behaviors of the two different systems were analyzed, and the corresponding energy storage performance was also characterized. With the support of weakly coupled polar nanoregions and a non-polar matrix, an energy storage density of 2.37 J/cm3 and an efficiency of 94.4% were obtained in the Sr1.82Gd0.12NaNb5O15 ceramic. A discharge energy density of 2.51 J/cm3 and a power density of 59.1 MW/cm3 further proved its prospect for practical applications. In addition, the thermal stability and fatigue resistance of the ceramic were also evaluated. At the same time, under the theoretical framework of a perovskite and tungsten bronze, the contribution of vacancies to the local structure and relaxor behavior was briefly discussed. Because the currently used ceramics do not contain easily reducible metal oxides, this work lays the foundation for the development of multilayer ceramic capacitors that use base metals as internal electrodes.
