Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to illustrate the role of NAA10 in aggravating the malignant progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) by upregulating UPK1B. PATIENTS AND METHODS NAA10 levels in RCC tissues and paracancerous tissues were detected. Thereafter, the potential relationship between NAA10 level and clinical parameters of RCC patients was analyzed. After knockdown of NAA10, changes in proliferative potential of 786-O and Caki-1 cells were examined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation and 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay. Finally, the regulatory role of NAA10 in the downstream gene UPK1B and the involvement of UPK1B in the development of RCC were determined via rescue experiments. RESULTS NAA10 was upregulated in RCC tissues than paracancerous tissues. Tumor staging was much worse in RCC patients expressing a higher level of NAA10. Knockdown of NAA10 inhibited proliferative potential and downregulated UPK1B in RCC cells. Besides, NAA10 level was identified to be positively linked to UPK1B level in RCC tissues. At last, overexpression of UPK1B was able to abolish the inhibitory effect of silenced NAA10 on RCC proliferation. CONCLUSIONS NAA10 level is closely linked to tumor staging and poor prognosis in RCC patients. NAA10 aggravates the malignant progression of RCC by upregulating UPK1B and may be a specific biomarker in RCC.

Davila JI, Chanana P, Sarangi V, Fogarty ZC, Weroha SJ, Guo R, Goode EL, Huang Y, Wang C. Frequent POLE-driven hypermutation in ovarian endometrioid cancer revealed by mutational signatures in RNA sequencing. BMC Med Genomics 2021; 14:165. [PMID: 34158040 PMCID: PMC8218518 DOI: 10.1186/s12920-021-01017-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA polymerase epsilon (POLE) is encoded by the POLE gene, and POLE-driven tumors are characterized by high mutational rates. POLE-driven tumors are relatively common in endometrial and colorectal cancer, and their presence is increasingly recognized in ovarian cancer (OC) of endometrioid type. POLE-driven cases possess an abundance of TCT > TAT and TCG > TTG somatic mutations characterized by mutational signature 10 from the Catalog of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC). By quantifying the contribution of COSMIC mutational signature 10 in RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) we set out to identify POLE-driven tumors in a set of unselected Mayo Clinic OC. METHODS Mutational profiles were calculated using expressed single-nucleotide variants (eSNV) in the Mayo Clinic OC tumors (n = 195), The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) OC tumors (n = 419), and the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) normal ovarian tissues (n = 84). Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) of the mutational profiles inferred the contribution per sample of four distinct mutational signatures, one of which corresponds to COSMIC mutational signature 10. RESULTS In the Mayo Clinic OC cohort we identified six tumors with a predicted contribution from COSMIC mutational signature 10 of over five mutations per megabase. These six cases harbored known POLE hotspot mutations (P286R, S297F, V411L, and A456P) and were of endometrioid histotype (P = 5e-04). These six tumors had an early onset (average age of patients at onset, 48.33 years) when compared to non-POLE endometrioid OC cohort (average age at onset, 60.13 years; P = .008). Samples from TCGA and GTEx had a low COSMIC signature 10 contribution (median 0.16 mutations per megabase; maximum 1.78 mutations per megabase) and carried no POLE hotspot mutations. CONCLUSIONS From the largest cohort of RNA-seq from endometrioid OC to date (n = 53), we identified six hypermutated samples likely driven by POLE (frequency, 11%). Our result suggests the clinical need to screen for POLE driver mutations in endometrioid OC, which can guide enrollment in immunotherapy clinical trials.

Abstract
Abstract
In this work, a phosphorous-containing flame retardant, phenylphosphonate-based compound (EHPP), is synthesized by alcoholysis and hydrazinolysis of phenylphosphonic dichloride, which is subsequently introduced to ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA) copolymer to improve its flame retardant performance. The resultant compound was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 31P NMR. The influence of the EHPP on the combustion behaviors of EVA is studied by limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL-94, and cone calorimeter test. The results show that 1 wt% EHPP can reduce peak heat release rate (PHRR) by 40%. Moreover, 2 wt% EHPP can increase LOI from 20.5% to 25.5%. Thermogravimetric analysis/infrared spectrometry (TGA-FTIR) was used to detect the gaseous products of EVA/EHPP to study the gaseous-phase flame retardant mechanism. The EHPP released phosphorus-containing radicals to capture highly active free radicals to improve the flame retardancy of EVA.

Abstract
Eicosanoids play important roles in the cardiovascular system. The metabolic disorders involving some eicosanoids in the pathophysiologic process include myocardial infarction and myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often the first-choice strategy for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) according to current guidelines. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic eicosanoid metabolic profile in STEMI patients after PCI. The eicosanoid profiles in plasma of 20 patients at seven times (30 minutes before surgery; 6, 12, 24, and 72 hours after surgery; 1 day before discharge; and 28 days after surgery) were studied by using metabolomics. Levels of PGE2, PGD2, and TXA2 were decreased significantly and EETs contents were increased significantly at 6 hours after PCI. EETs were hydrolysed to DHETs within a short time after surgery (12-72 hours). 20-HETE content was significantly increased. In samples taken at the time of discharge and at follow-up after discharge, LTB4 level continued to increase. This work suggests that change in content of some functional eicosanoids may be involved in cardiac injury and repair after PCI in a synergistic manner.

Abstract
We report here a patient with stage IV mucosal melanoma treated with dual immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy (Nivolumab/Ipilimumab) who experienced rapid disease progression and metastatic spread within three weeks of first infusion. Surprisingly, this patient also developed fulminant myocarditis within the same time frame. Immunohistochemical staining of the primary tumor and a metastatic omental lesion revealed robust CD8+ PD-1+ T cell infiltration after ICI treatment, as would be expected following immune activation. However, the CD8+ T cell infiltrate was largely negative for both Granzyme B and TIA-1, suggesting these T cells were not capable of effective tumor lysis. We discuss the possibility that heightened pro-inflammatory T cell activity (rather than tumor-directed cytolytic activity) was induced by anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4, which could have provoked both rapid tumor resistance mechanisms and myocarditis. This case highlights the fact that the mere presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) does not necessarily correlate to ICI response and that additional functional markers are necessary to differentiate between inflammatory and cytolytic CD8+ TILs.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is characterized by the presence of high invasion ability, hypoxia and chemoresistance. Previous studies reported that liver X receptor α (LXRα) was involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of gastric cancer cells. However, hypoxia-mediated EMT and the role of LXRα in gastric cancer remained elusive. In this study, we demonstrated that LXRa mRNA and protein levels were up-regulated by hypoxia treatment and LXRα played an important role in HIF-1 dimer induced-EMT. The putative HIF-1α binding site was identified in the LXRa promoter. Expression of LXRα and HIF-1α was significantly up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues compared to that in normal tissues. More importantly, we noticed that the expression of LXRα and HIF-1α was significantly correlated. Taken together, these data suggested that LXRα is regulated by the activity and accumulation of HIF-1α and contributes to EMT of gastric cancer cells. This suggests that targeting LXRα might be a potential approach for improving survival of gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumoral melanosis clinically resembles metastatic melanoma, occurs in the context of regressed disease, and requires evaluation to rule out underlying melanoma and metastatic disease. Histopathology demonstrates a nodular infiltrate of melanophages in the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, deep soft tissue, or lymph nodes in the absence of viable melanocytes. Recent limited reports of tumoral melanosis in the context of immunotherapy with ipilimumab (monoclonal antibody targeting CTLA-4) as well as nivolumab and pembrolizumab (humanized monoclonal antibodies against programmed death 1 receptor) highlight a unique presentation representative of treatment-related tumor regression and an association with a favorable clinical response. OBJECTIVE To describe our experience with tumoral melanosis in the setting of immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma and elucidate the clinical and histopathological features. METHODS Retrospective case series from a single tertiary care institution. RESULTS We describe 10 cases of patients with metastatic melanoma who received treatment with immunotherapy before the development of tumoral melanosis. Length of time between the initiation of therapy and the onset of tumoral melanosis ranged from 2 to 20 months with a mean time of 10 months. At the end of the follow-up period, 8 patients were classified as having a complete or partial response to treatment with immunotherapy. One patient had progression of visceral and cutaneous disease on ipilimumab despite developing tumoral melanosis, and 1 patient had yet to undergo repeat imaging. Furthermore, at the end of follow-up, 3 patients were alive with no evidence of active disease, 5 patients were alive with disease, and 1 patient was deceased, although this patient died of a cardiovascular event unrelated to his underlying melanoma. Of the patients who were classified as alive with disease, 2 patients had minimal remaining disease, and 2 patients had an almost complete response on immunotherapy with recurrence of visceral metastases after immunotherapy was discontinued. One patient developed new peritoneal and cutaneous metastases on pembrolizumab despite development of tumoral melanosis. CONCLUSIONS The underlying biologic mechanisms and prognostic implications of tumoral melanosis in the setting of immunotherapy remain to be elucidated. Further prospective studies with a larger cohort and prolonged follow-up are necessary to better understand the incidence, prevalence, and oncologic outcomes in patients with tumoral melanosis who receive immunotherapy.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the characteristics and citations of articles in National Medical Journal of China (NMJC) during 2016, and to discuss the academic level and quality of the journal. Methods: All the literature published in NMJC during 2016 were retrieved through the Chinese Medical Citation index, and the citation frequency data in China's core journals of science and technology from January 2017 to December 2018 was obtained through Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China. The citation status of articles published in NMJC was statistically analyzed by the method of literature metrology. The main indicators included the citation rate of articles published in each year, the citation frequency of all articles, the citation status of individual papers and authors, the regional and high-yield institution distribution of cited authors, and the main citation journals. Results: In 2016, a total of 962 articles were published in 22 columns of NMJC. The total number of published pages was 3 940, and the average number of articles was 4.09 pages. A total of 28 key topics have been published. The total citation was 2 077 times, with 2.16 times per paper. Among them, 322 papers were not cited, accounting for 33.47%. The maximum citation frequency of a single paper was 66 times. There were good citations in the columns of Guidelines, Epidemiology, New technology and methods, Clinical research and Editorial. Oncology, neurology/psychiatry, imaging/ultrasound/radiology, respiratory medicine and orthopedics accounted for a large part [40.43% (389 articles)]. Articles in neurosurgery, respiratory medicine, preventive medicine and gastrointestinal surgery were all cited with high frequency (all ≥2.75 times/article). A total of 483(50.21%) articles had obtained fund support, and the rate (68.12%) of them cited was slightly higher than that of articles without fund support (64.93%). A total of 23 articles were cited ≥10 times, and 16 first authors were cited ≥10 times. In addation, 26 corresponding authors were cited ≥10 times and 10 institutions were cited more than 15 times. The authors of the cited papers were distributed in 29 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government), and there were more articles and higher total citation frequency in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Tianjin. From 2017 to 2018, papers published in NMJC were cited 2 077 times by a total of 490 journals. Conclusions: The guidelines published in NMJC is highly cited. The editorial department should adjust the column setting timely, strengthen the planning of key topic selection and the solicitation and publicity of excellent papers, and further improve the influence of the magazine.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the current trend of breast cancer neoadjuvant therapy and provide reference for the improvement of breast cancer clinical guideline in the future. Methods: Questionnaires of cross-sectional survey were sent to 110 hospitals (breast cancer surgery quantity surpassing 200) between July 2018 and September 2018. The stages and subtypes, therapeutic regimen, treatment assession, operation choice and preforming of patients underwent neoadjuvant therapy were recorded. Results: Neoadjuvant treatment has been performed in all of the 110 hospitals. The total number of breast patients underwent neoadjuvant therapy was about 14 550 (17.0% in surgical patients) in 2017. For all of the neoadjuvant patients, the proportion of stageⅡ patients was less than 30% in 81 hospitals, and the proportion of stage Ⅲ was more than 50% in 84 hospitals. The numbers of estrogen receptor (ER) (+ )/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) (-), ER (-)/HER-2 (+ ) and triple negative subtype breast cancer patients were 3 550 (24.4%), 6 024 (41.4%) and 4 991 (34.3%), respectively. Patient's scruples of relatively delayed operation and weak will of breast conservation after neoadjuvant therapy were the majority reasons for neoadjuvant therapy restriction. Anthracycline followed by taxane was the most usual neoadjuvant therapeutic regimens in 53.6% hospitals, and anthracycline plus taxane was the first choice in 42.7% hospitals. Chemotherapy with targeting therapy was recommended to HER-2 positive neoadjuvant patients in 80.9% hospitals. To assess treatment outcome of neoadjuvant treatment, 42.7% hospitals used MRI in more than 50% patients while the usage rate of MRI was less than 20% in 37.3% hospitals. The proportions of hospital using repeat-marking, tattoo and metal clip as the first method to identify the primary tumor region and lymph nodes were 60.0%, 29.1% and 10.9%, respectively. Breast-conservation rate after neoadjuvant therapy was less than 20% in 87.3% hospitals. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer is widely performed in most hospitals in China, while the proportion of neoadjuvant treatment in patients with operable breast cancer is still low. Meanwhile, the idea of achieving de-escalation operation through neoadjuvant treatment is not promoted and the therapeutic evaluation method of neoadjuvant treatment needs further studies to improve.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is closely related to the incidence and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD), but the mechanisms linking OSA and CAD are unclear. C1q/TNF-related protein-9 (CTRP9) is a novel adipokine that protects the heart against ischemic injury and ameliorates cardiac remodeling.
Purpose
We aimed to ascertain the clinical relevance of CTRP9 with OSA prevalence in patients with CAD.
Methods
From August 2016 to March 2019, consecutive eligible patients with CAD (n=154; angina pectoris, n=88; acute myocardial infarction [AMI], n=66) underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy during hospitalization. OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 events h–1. Plasma CTRP9 concentrations were measured by ELISA method.
Results
OSA was present in 89 patients (57.8%). CTRP9 levels were significantly decreased in the OSA group than in the non-OSA group (4.7 [4.1–5.2] ng/mL vs. 4.9 [4.4–6.0] ng/mL, P=0.003). The difference between groups was only observed in patients with AMI (3.0 [2.3–4.9] vs. 4.5 [3.2–7.9], P=0.009), but not in patients with AP (5.0 [4.7–5.3] ng/mL vs. 5.1 [4.7–5.9] ng/mL, P=0.571) (Figure 1). Correlation analysis showed that CTRP9 levels were negatively correlated with AHI (r=−0.238, P=0.003) and oxygen desaturation index (r=−0.234, P=0.004), and positively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (r=0.251, P=0.004) in all subjects. Multivariate analysis showed that male gender (OR 3.099, 95% CI 1.029–9.330, P=0.044), body mass index (OR 1.148, 95% CI 1.040–1.268, P=0.006), and CTRP9 levels (OR 0.726, 95% CI 0.592–0.890, P=0.002) were independently associated with the prevalence of OSA.
Conclusions
Plasma CTRP9 levels were independently related to the prevalence of OSA in patients with CAD, suggesting that CTRP9 might play a role in the pathogenesis of CAD exacerbated by OSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of micro ribonucleic acid 200c (miR-200c) on the apoptosis of placental trophoblasts in a rat model of preeclampsia (PE). MATERIALS AND METHODS PE model in rats was established for extracting placental trophoblasts. Overexpression or knockdown of miR-200c was achieved by transfection of miR-200c mimics or inhibitor. Flow cytometry was carried out to detect the apoptotic rate of placental trophoblasts. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to detect the interaction of miR-200c with WNT1. Western blotting was applied to determine the changes of protein levels in placental trophoblasts. RESULTS The expression level of miR-200c in placental trophoblasts of PE group was significantly higher than that in control group. The apoptosis rate was (22.45 ± 2.62)%, (6.58 ± 1.28)%, and (9.57 ± 1.35)% in miR-200c mimic group, miR-200c inhibitor group, and control group, respectively, showing statistically significant differences. MiR-200c overexpression downregulated the expression level of anti-apoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), but upregulated expression levels of apoptotic proteins Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) and active Caspase-3. MiR-200c suppressed WNT1 expression through the interaction with the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of WNT1. The expressions of WNT1 and β-catenin were up-regulated after miR-200c overexpression, which was reversed by the Wnt/β-catenin pathway activator. CONCLUSIONS MiR-200c is involved in the development and progression of PE through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the relationships between hematuria, clinicopathological features and renal outcomes in patients with biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy (DN). METHODS This cohort study included 261 patients with DN. Participants were divided into two groups according to number of red blood cells per high-power field (RBC/hpf) in urine sediment: the hematuria (-) group (≤ 3 RBC/hpf) and the hematuria (+) group (> 3 RBC/hpf). Basic clinical parameters were measured at the time of renal biopsy; relationships between hematuria and clinicopathological features and renal outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS Patients in the hematuria (+) group often had overt proteinuria. Interstitial inflammation was more severe in the hematuria (+) group than in the hematuria (-) group. Glomerular arteriolar hyalinosis, interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy were comparable between groups. For patients with early DN (eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2), urinary RBC/hpf at baseline was positively correlated with glomerular classification, interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy scores and interstitial inflammation scores. In prognostic analysis, hematuria was associated with a higher risk of progression to end-stage renal disease. Hematuria remained an independent predictor after adjustment for confounding factors such as sex, age, duration of diabetes, serum glucose level, hypertension, cholesterol, eGFR and urine protein excretion, especially in patients with early DN and in male patients. CONCLUSION In this study, hematuria was associated with more severe renal pathologic lesions in patients with DN. The presence of hematuria could be an independent predictor of renal outcome in patients with early DN.
