Abstract
Objective: To discuss the influence of different computed tomography (CT) value assignment methods on dose calculation of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plan which designed for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and the value assignment methods of IMRT plan for NPC based on magnetic resonance (MR) images. Methods: Simulation CT and MR image of 32 NPC patients in Shandong Cancer Hospital from March 2018 to November 2018 were selected for this study. Populate CT values were obtained by contouring and analyzing the simulation CT of patients' tissue, including bone, air, brain, eyeball, optic-nerve, lens, parotid, masseter, skin. Pseudo-CT were generated by different CT value assignment methods: CT1: CT value of all tissues was set to 0HU; CT2: CT value of air cavity was set to populate CT value based on CT1; CT3: CT value of Bone was set to populate CT value based on CT2; CT4: CT value of each soft tissue were set to populate CT value based on CT3. The IMRT plan for NPC as Plan0 was designed base on simulation CT. Then Plan0 was transplanted to four pseudo-CT to recalculate the dose and obtain Plan1, Plan2, Plan3 and Plan4, the differences of dosimetric parameters were compared with Plan0. NPC-IMRT plan was designed base on MR images by using the assignment method with CT value of each tissue were set to populate CT value. Results: In the head and neck CT images, the average populate CT values of bone and cavity were 621 HU and -720 HU, respectively. The populate CT values of other soft tissue ranges from -20 HU to 70 HU. The differences of dosimetric indexes of Plan1, Plan2, Plan3, Plan4 decreased sequentially compare to Plan0, the difference of the dosimetry parameters of Plan4 and Plan0 was the smallest. The differences of PTV D(99), PTV D(95), isocenter dose, D(mean) of all tissues, D(max) of bilateral eye balls, D(max) of bilateral lens, D(max) of bilateral optic nerves, D(mean) of bilateral parotid, V(20) of bilateral parotid, D(50) of bilateral parotid, D(max) of spinal cord, D(max) of brainstem, D(5) of brainstem between Plan4 and Plan0 were all less than 1%. The difference of V(30) in bilateral parotid between Plan4 and Plan0 was less than 1.5%. In the comparison of the pixel dose distribution, the regions of dose distribution difference greater than 1% mainly distributed in the air cavity, bone periphery and the skin. The target area of the IMRT plan for NPC based on MR images met 95% of the prescribed dose, and the dose of each organ at risk was within the dose limit. Conclusions: The assignment method of each tissue and organs set to populate CT value compared with other methods has the least influence on the dose calculation of NPC-IMRT plan, which could meet the clinical requirements. Therefore, it should be the first choice of assignment method when designing NPC-IMRT plan based on MR image.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the serratus anterior plane block combined with pectoral nerves block I can produce a non-inferior analgesic effect compared with thoracic paravertebral block for radical mastectomy. Methods: From October 2020 to February 2021, Sixty-four patients of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University scheduled for radical mastectomy with general anesthesia,were divided into two groups (n = 32 each) using a random number table method: thoracic paravertebral block group (TPVB group) and serratus anterior plane block combined with pectoral nerves block I group (S&P group). All patients received patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) postoperatively. The numerical rating scale (NRS) at post anesthesia care unit (PACU), 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 h after operation were compared between the two groups. Sufentanil cumulative dosage of PCIA in 24 h and 48 h, first press time after operation, total press times, the dosage of propofol, remifentanil and vasoactive drugs during operation, intraoperative blood pressure and heart rate, the operation time of block and adverse effects were all compared. Non-inferiority could be claimed if the difference of sufentanil cumulative dosage in 24 h between S&P group and TPVB group is higher than the negative value (-3.8) of the non-inferiority effect. Results: There was no significant difference in postoperative NRS at PACU, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 h after operation, first press time after operation, total press times, propofol and remifentanil dosage, sufentanil cumulative dosage of PCIA in 24 h and 48 h, and adverse effects (all P>0.05). The sufentanil cumulative dosage of PCIA in 24 h of S&P group and of TPVB group were (15.8±4.7) μg and (15.2±3.2) μg. The 95% confidence interval (CI) of the difference between S&P group and of TPVB group was -1.478 to 2.694, and the lower limit was greater than non-inferiority margin -3.8. The mean arterial pressure of TPVB patients after induction and at the beginning of the operation were (63±7) mmHg and (70±7) mmHg, which were significantly lower than the (77±5) mmHg and (79±8) mmHg at the same time in the combination group (both P<0.05). The frequency of vasoactive drugs usage in TPVB group was 56.3%, which was statistically significant higher than the 18.8% in S&P group (P<0.01). Nerve block time in TPVB group was 10 (9, 11) min, which was significantly longer than 8 (6, 10) min in S&P group (P<0.01). Conclusion: The serratus anterior block combined with pectoral nerves block I can produce a non-inferior analgesic effect compared with thoracic paravertebral block for radical mastectomy, and the intraoperative hemodynamics is more stable and the block time is shorter than that of thoracic paravertebral block for radical mastectomy.

Atmospheric pressure plasma treatment induces abscisic acid production, reduces stomatal aperture and improves seedling growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Abstract
Cold atmospheric pressure plasmas (CAPPs) have been widely used for pre-sowing treatment in agriculture to accelerate seed germination; however, information on their application to pre-transplant seedlings is scarce. The roles of the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) on guard cell aperture that control air exchange with the environment were investigated after CAPPs treatment. In this study, Arabidopsis thaliana seedling growth was evaluated under CAPPs treatment at different doses. Besides, the optimal growth stimulation dose was selected to further evaluate changes in ABA, ROS, Ca2+ and stomatal aperture during growth .The expression of most ABA signalling genes were aslo examined to investigate the mechanism. CAPPs treatment for 1 min significantly promoted Arabidopsis seedling growth; the ABA concentration in seedlings increased and peaked 48 h after treatment but was lower than in the control after 96 h. Transcript levels of most ABA signalling genes were markedly enhanced at 48 h, although their transcripts were significantly downregulated after 96 h. CAPPs treatment also reduced stomatal aperture after 24 h and accelerated ROS accumulation in guard cells. The Ca2+ concentration in the treatment group was markedly higher than in the control at 24 and 96 h. The results suggest that CAPPs treatment accelerates ABA accumulation in Arabidopsis at early growth stages and ABA regulates ROS and Ca2+ concentrations to affect stomatal aperture, and both ABA and stoma size are affected in CAPPs stimulation of Arabidopsis seedling growth.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This study investigated the efficacy of annual zoledronic acid (ZOL) administration against previously treated recompression vertebral fractures (RVF) and new vertebral fractures (NVF) in initial percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) over a 3-year follow-up period. INTRODUCTION Although PKP achieves a satisfactory outcome, previously treated RVF and NVF can limit its effectiveness. The annual infusion of ZOL over 3 years can improve fracture protection, particularly in the vertebrae. We hypothesized that ZOL can reduce the incidence of RVFs and/or NVFs, and improve the clinical outcomes of PKP. METHODS This was a placebo-controlled, double-blind prospective trial of 154 PKP patients (mean age: 70 years) with OVCFs. Patients were randomly assigned to receive a single infusion of ZOL (5 mg) or placebo (78 ZOL vs. 76 placebo) at 1 week, 12 months, and 24 months after surgery. Patients were followed-up for 36 months. RESULTS ZOL treatment lowered the risk of RVF by ~ 65% over the 36-month period when compared to placebo controls (6.41% in ZOL vs. 18.42% in placebo groups; relative risk, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.92). ZOL also reduced the risk of NVF by ~ 73% (3.85% in ZOL vs. 14.47% in placebo groups; relative risk, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.08 to 0.92). ZOL also significantly reduced the vertebral height lost rate (HLR) at 12, 24, and 36 months. ZOL also improved the visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores, and bone mineral density (BMD). CONCLUSION Annual ZOL administration significantly lowers the risk of RVFs and NVFs, improving the clinical outcome of initial PKP in patients with OVCFs over a 3-year follow-up period.

Abstract
High-grain non-pelleted (HG) and high-grain pelleted (HP) diets are becoming prevalent for ruminant feeding in intensive farms. However, rare information is about their effect on sheep and the comparison between these two kinds of diets. The current study investigated how HG and HP diets affected the transcriptome profiles of rumen epithelium in Hu-lamb. Fifteen male Hu-lambs were assigned randomly to three groups (n = 5 for each group). Lambs in the control (CON), HG, and HP groups were fed with low-grain non-pelleted diet (30% grain), HG diet (70% grain), and HP diet (70% grain), respectively, for 42 days. All these lambs were slaughtered to collect ruminal epithelium samples for transcriptome analysis. Results showed both HG and HP diets obviously changed the transcriptome profiles, and 192, 319, and three differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified for CON_HG, CON_HP, and HG_HP comparisons, respectively. Clusters of orthologous group functional classification of CON_HG and CON_HP DEG datasets both showed the enrichments of DEGs in pathways involved in protein biogenesis and modification as well as energy production and conversion. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway analysis of CON_HG and CON_HP DEG datasets both displayed the enrichments of DEGs in ribosome and oxidative phosphorylation. Almost all these DEGs involved in translation and ribosomal structure and biogenesis as well as oxidative phosphorylation were downregulated in the HG and HP groups compared to the CON group. Furthermore, CON_HP comparison demonstrated more DEGs related to these two pathways than CON_HG comparison. In conclusion, both HG and HP diets inhibited energy production and conversion as well as protein synthesis and modification in ruminal epithelium. HP diet showed lower growth benefits, induced severer rumen acidosis, and more seriously inhibited energy production and protein synthesis as compared to HG diet.

Abstract
With the aggravation of environmental pollution and the energy crisis, it is particularly important to develop and design environment-friendly and efficient spontaneous enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalysts for water splitting. Herein novel type-II van der Waals (vdW) GaSe/CN and Ga2SSe/CN heterostructures are proposed through first-principles calculations. Their electronic properties and photocatalytic performance are theoretically analyzed. In particular, their appropriate band gap and band-edge position meet the requirements of the oxygen evolution reaction, and the reaction is thermodynamically feasible in most pH ranges. The unique band alignment of these heterostructured photocatalysts leads to high solar-to-hydrogen energy conversion efficiencies up to 15.11%, which has a good commercial application prospect. More excitingly, with the application of 2% biaxial strain, the smooth progress of the water-splitting reaction of the GaSe/CN and Ga2SSe/CN heterostructures can still be maintained, and the carrier mobility and optical absorption characteristics can be effectively improved. Consequently, these findings suggest that the GaSe/CN and Ga2SSe/CN vdW heterostructures have promising potentials as photocatalysts for water splitting. This work may provide a promising clue for the design of efficient and stable photocatalytic water-splitting catalysts under visible spectroscopy.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the risk factors for mortality in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Methods: Clinical data of 109 patients with severe PARDS supported by ECMO, who were hospitalized in 6 ECMO centers in China from September 2012 to February 2020, were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into survival group and death group according to the prognosis. Chi-square test and rank sum test were used to compare the variables between the two groups, including the demographic data, laboratory examination results, clinical data before and after ECMO, and other supportive treatment. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression models were used to analyze the prognostic risk factors. Results: In these 109 cases, 54 died and 55 survived. Compared with the survival group, the death group had higher incidences of acute kidney injury (AKI) (48.1% (26/54) vs. 21.8% (12/55), χ²=8.318, P=0.004) and coagulation dysfunction (22.2% (12/54) vs. 7.3% (4/55), χ²=4.862, P=0.027), and higher rate of renal replacement therapy (48.1% (26/54) vs. 21.8% (12/55), χ²=9.694, P=0.008) during ECMO support. Logistic regression analysis showed that continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and AKI were independent risk factors for death in patients with severe PARDS requiring ECMO support (HR=3.88,95%CI 1.04-14.52, HR=4.84,95%CI 1.21-19.46, both P<0.05). Conclusion: AKI and CRRT are independent risk factors for predicting mortality in patients with severe PARDS requiring ECMO support.

Abstract
A supersonic beam source for SrF and BaF molecules is constructed by combining the expansion of carrier gas (a mixture of 2% SF6 and 98% argon) from an Even-Lavie valve with laser ablation of a barium/strontium metal target at a repetition rate of 10 Hz. Molecular beams with a narrow translational velocity spread are produced at relative values of Δv/v = 0.053(11) and 0.054(9) for SrF and BaF, respectively. The relative velocity spread of the beams produced in our source is lower in comparison with the results from other metal fluoride beams produced in supersonic laser ablation sources. The rotational temperature of BaF is measured to be 3.5 K. The source produces 6 × 108 and 107 molecules per steradian per pulse in the X2Σ+ (ν = 0, N = 1) state of BaF and SrF molecules, respectively, a state amenable to Stark deceleration and laser cooling.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1.25(OH) (2)D(3)] in liver lipid metabolism so as to provide the clues for elucidating the mechanism of non-alcoholic fatty liver. Methods: 26 SD rats were randomly divided into control group (methionine-choline-sufficient diet, MCS), model group (methionine-choline-deficiency diet, MCD) and intervention group [MCD+1.25(OH) (2)D(3)]. The intervention, control, and model group was given 3 ng/100 g 1.25(OH) (2)D(3) peanut oil solution per day by gavage according to body mass. After 4 weeks the experiment was ended up, and the blood was collected from the inferior vena cava to detect alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). The liver tissue was collected to observe the liver morphological and pathological changes (oil red O and HE staining). The changes in the level of liver total triglyceride (TG) content and liver lipid metabolism-related genes [fatty acid transfer protein (FAT/CD36), acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC1)] mRNA and protein were detected. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the means between groups. Results: Oil red O staining and HE staining showed that lipid droplet-vacuoles were significantly increased in the liver tissue of the model group than that of the intervention group. The liver TG content (2.23 ± 0.98) μmol/g of the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the model group (3.53 ± 1.06) μmol/g (F = 5.930, P = 0.035). The ALT content of the intervention group (35.99±9.54) U/L was significantly lower than that of the model group (57.65 ± 19.42) U/L (F = 13.790, P = 0.034). The AST content of the intervention group (16.9 ± 3.73) U/L was significantly lower than that of the model group (27.81 ± 13.31) U/L (F = 3.084, P = 0.046). The relative expression levels of mRNA and protein (mRNA: 1.21 ± 0.61, protein: 1.54 ± 0.75) of FAT/CD36 in the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the model group (mRNA: 2.31 ± 0.81, protein: 2.83 ± 1.42) (mRNA: F = 8.370, P = 0.001, protein: F = 7.212, P = 0.043). The relative expression level of mRNA and protein of ACC1 (mRNA: 0.89 ± 0.54, protein: 0.28 ± 0.11) were also significantly lower than those in model group (mRNA: 1.39 ± 0.19, protein: 0.47 ± 0.24) (mRNA: F = 3.948, P = 0.036, protein: F = 10.933, P = 0.048). Conclusion: 1.25(OH) (2)D(3) can reduce liver fat deposition in rats fed with MCD by inhibiting the expression of fat / CD36 and ACC1.

[PMID: 33188874 DOI: 10.1016/j.annonc.2020.10.600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 10/31/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary analysis of the phase III trial BG01-1323L demonstrated that utidelone plus capecitabine significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rate (ORR) versus capecitabine alone in heavily-pretreated patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Here, we report the final overall survival (OS) analysis and updates of other endpoints. PATIENTS AND METHODS In total, 405 patients were randomised 2:1 to receive utidelone (30 mg/m2 IV daily, days 1-5, over 90 min) plus capecitabine (1000 mg/m2 orally b.i.d., days 1-14) or capecitabine alone (1250 mg/m2 orally b.i.d., days 1-14) every 21 days. The secondary endpoint, OS, was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit approach at a two-sided alpha level of 0.05 after the prespecified 310 death events had been reached. Exploratory analyses of the primary endpoint, PFS, and the secondary endpoint, ORR, were also done. Safety was analysed in patients who had at least one dose of study drug. RESULTS At the final OS analysis, the median duration of follow-up was 19.6 months in the utidelone plus capecitabine group and 15.4 months in the capecitabine alone group. In the intention-to-treat population, 313 deaths had occurred at data cut-off, 203 of 270 patients in the combination group and 110 of 135 in the monotherapy group. Median OS in the combination group was 19.8 months compared with 16.0 months in the monotherapy group [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.75, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.59-0.94, P = 0.0142]. The updated analysis of PFS and ORR showed that the combination therapy remained superior to monotherapy. Safety results were similar to those previously reported with respect to incidence, severity and specificity. No late-emerging toxicities or new safety concerns occurred. CONCLUSIONS For heavily-pretreated, anthracycline- and taxane-resistant MBC patients, utidelone plus capecitabine significantly improved OS versus capecitabine alone. These results support the use of utidelone plus capecitabine as a novel therapeutic regimen for patients with MBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Plaque erosion with subsequent coronary thrombosis is considered as an important cause of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Smoking is a major risk factor for acute coronary thrombosis. However, the relationship between current smoking status and plaque erosion has not been systematically investigated.
Purpose
The present study aimed to investigate predictors of plaque erosion in current smokers and non-current smokers with STEMI by using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods
Between January 2015 to December 2017, a total of 1313 STEMI patients underwent pre-intervention OCT of culprit lesion were enrolled and divided into two groups based on current smoking status: current smoking group (n=713) and non-current smoking group (n=600). Using established criteria, quantitative and qualitative underlying plaque characteristics were assessed by OCT. Clinical, angiographic and OCT characteristics of all enrolled patients were recorded. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of plaque erosion in two groups.
Results
Plaque erosion were found in 30.9% (220/713) culprit lesions in current smoking group and 20.8% (125/600) of those in non-current smoking group detected by OCT. In multivariate regression analysis, the predictors that strongly related to plaque erosion in the current smoking group were nearby bifurcation (OR: 4.84; 95% CI:2.38–9.87; p<0.001); the minimum fiber cap thickness (FCT, OR:1.05; 95% CI:1.03–1.08; p<0.001); thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA, OR: 0.22; 95% CI: 0.07–0.67; p=0.007) and lipid core length (OR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.84–0.97; p=0.007). The predictors in the non-current smoking group were nearby bifurcation (OR: 4.84; 95% CI: 2.38–9.87; p=0.006); the minimal FCT (OR: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.06–1.13; p<0.001); multi-vessel disease (MVD, OR: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.19–0.97; p=0.042) and dyslipidemia (OR: 0.34; 95% CI: 0.14–0.84; p=0.020).
Conclusions
Predictors of plaque erosion causing STEMI onset are different between current smokers and non-current smoker, with nearby bifurcation and thicker minimal FCT both predicting plaque erosion in two groups of patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Numerous genome-wide association studies revealed that SNPs at phosphatase and actin regulator 1 (PHACTR1) locus are strongly correlated with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the mechanism linking these variants to CAD remains uncertain.
Purpose
We studied the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of PHACTR1 in atherosclerosis.
Methods and results
Analysis of GTEx database showed that CAD-related SNPs in PHACTR1 are cis-eQTLs for PHACTR1 in arteries. Therefore, we generated Phactr1 knockout mice and crossed them with apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE−/−) mice to induce atherosclerosis by high-fat/high-cholesterol (HF-HC) diet. Phactr1 deficiency significantly inhibited atherosclerosis with decreased inflammatory cell infiltration. Western blot showed that PHACTR1 was restricted to endothelial cells (ECs) in mice. Mechanistically, RNAseq of aortic ECs revealed that the major molecular function of PHACTR1 was transcriptional regulation. PPARγ/RXRα was the top transcription factor, and PPARγ target gene expression substantially increased in Phactr1−/− mice. Moreover, we generated endothelial cell specific Phactr1−/−, ApoE−/− mice and found decreased atherosclerotic plaque area in aortic sinus. In vitro, PHACTR1 associated with PPARγ and inhibited PPARγ transcriptional activity. The inhibitory effect of PHACTR1 on PPARγ required its shuttling from cytosol to nucleus triggered by disturbed flow, a well-established pro-atherosclerotic stimulus.
Conclusion
Our results identified PHACTR1 as a mechanosensitive corepressor of PPARγ in ECs to promote atherosclerosis. Endothelial PHACTR1 is a potential therapeutic target for atherosclerosis treatment.

Contrasting Regional Carbon Cycle Responses to Seasonal Climate Anomalies Across the East-West Divide of Temperate North America. GLOBAL BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES 2020; 34:e2020GB006598.

Abstract
Across temperate North America, interannual variability (IAV) in gross primary production (GPP) and net ecosystem exchange (NEE) and their relationship with environmental drivers are poorly understood. Here, we examine IAV in GPP and NEE and their relationship to environmental drivers using two state-of-the-science flux products: NEE constrained by surface and space-based atmospheric CO2 measurements over 2010-2015 and satellite up-scaled GPP from FluxSat over 2001-2017. We show that the arid western half of temperate North America provides a larger contribution to IAV in GPP (104% of east) and NEE (127% of east) than the eastern half, in spite of smaller magnitude of annual mean GPP and NEE. This occurs because anomalies in western ecosystems are temporally coherent across the growing season leading to an amplification of GPP and NEE. In contrast, IAV in GPP and NEE in eastern ecosystems is dominated by seasonal compensation effects, associated with opposite responses to temperature anomalies in spring and summer. Terrestrial biosphere models in the MsTMIP ensemble generally capture these differences between eastern and western temperate North America, although there is considerable spread between models.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the digestive tract. Although GIST has only been recognized as a separate entity for several decades, management strategies for GIST have changed dramatically over time. Advances in treatment have yielded dramatic successes in improving prognosis of patients with GIST. However, the meaningful progress also brings escalating social and economic burdens. There is a long distance between technological breakthroughs and its real benefits of society. Due to the rapid development in a short period, successful experience in disease diagnosis and treatment and the accompanying problems have appeared in a more concentrated and obvious manner. Any medical science exploration and practice initially aim to have the essence of humanism. As practitioners of medical technology, doctors should treat patients as a whole "human" in the process of diagnosis and treatment instead of just focusing on the technology itself. Moreover, doctors should comprehensively consider patients' physical, psychological and social attributes, pay attention to their physical, mental and social needs, find and try to solve problems, so as to promote the developement of medical science in the correct direction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor that poses a serious threat to human health and life. Metastasis is one of the reasons for high rate of relapse. Due to the lack of effective treatment, the prognosis of HCC patients is far from satisfactory. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-TPTE2P1 in HCC development. Moreover, we aimed to search for new biomarkers which could predict the metastasis and provide novel therapeutic strategies for HCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to evaluate the expression level of lncRNA-TPTE2P1 in both HCC tissues and cell lines. Wound-healing assay and transwell assay were applied to determine the ability of cell migration. Meanwhile, transwell matrigel assay was applied to detect the invasion of HCC cells. The protein expressions of E-cadherin, Vimentin and N-cadherin in chosen cell lines were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS Results found that lncRNA-TPTE2P1 was overexpressed in both HCC tissues and cell lines. Further analysis revealed that overexpression of lncRNA-TPTE2P1 was correlated with tumor size, distant metastasis, differentiation degree, as well as tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage of HCC patients. Subsequent wound-healing assay, transwell assay and Matrigel assay confirmed that down-regulated lncRNA-TPTE2P1 could significantly suppress the invasion and migration of cells. However, up-regulation of lncRNA-TPTE2P1 showed the opposite results. Moreover, lowly expressed lncRNA-TPTE2P1 significantly decreased the protein levels of E-cadherin, Vimentin and N-cadherin. These results indicated that lncRNA-TPTE2P1 might stimulate the migration and invasion of HCC cells by promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). CONCLUSIONS In summary, our results suggested that lncRNA-TPTE2P1 functioned as an oncogene in HCC. Meanwhile, lncRNA-TPTE2P1 stimulated HCC cell migration and invasion by promoting EMT. LncRNA-TPTE2P1 might play a vital role in the development and progression of HCC. Our findings demonstrated that lncRNA-TPTE2P1 could serve as an early biomarker of metastasis and therapeutic target for HCC.
