CYP2E1 mediated advanced oxidation protein products exacerbate acetaminophen induced drug-derived liver injury in vitro and in vivo. Eur J Pharm Sci 2024; 200:106829. [PMID: 38866111 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2024.106829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is prevalent in the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are markers of CKD progression and participate in the occurrence and development of liver diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of DILI in CKD have not been established. Herein, we demonstrate the involvement of Cytochrome p450 2E1 (CYP2E1) in DILI induced by AOPPs is exacerbated by exposure to acetaminophen (APAP). We used a adenine-induced CKD model, a model of DILI induced by APAP, and the AOPPs model was generated by intraperitoneal injection. The decline in renal function was associated with a significantly increased concentration of Scr, BUN and AOPPs, and renal tissue fibrosis. The ALT, AST, and AOPPs levels and liver tissue necrosis increased significantly in CKD model group compared with the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCNa) group. In the AOPPs model, compared to the PBS controls, ALT, AST, and AOPP levels, and liver tissue necrosis increased significantly. In HepG2 or L0-2 cell lines, cell survival was significantly reduced in the AOPP + APAP treatment and CYP2E1 protein expression was increased. FPS-ZM1 or NAC attenuated the hepatocyte toxicity induced by AOPP + APAP and suppression of CYP2E1 expression. AOPPs exacerbated APAP-induced DILI through CYP2E1 signaling pathways. Protein uremic toxins, such as AOPPs, can modify drug toxicity in patients with CKD. This study provides new a rationale to reduce the generation of DILIs in clinical treatment in patients with CKD. AOPPs targeting may present a novel approach to reduce the occurrence of DILI.

Wang J, Luo X, Liu D. Knockdown of HNRNPM inhibits the progression of glioma through inducing ferroptosis. Cell Cycle 2023; 22:2264-2279. [PMID: 38016815 PMCID: PMC10730218 DOI: 10.1080/15384101.2023.2286782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Ferroptosis acts as an important regulator in diverse human tumors, including the glioma. This study aimed to screen potential ferroptosis-related genes involved in the progression of glioma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Differently expressed genes (DEGs) were screened based on GSE31262 and GSE12657 datasets, and ferroptosis-related genes were separated. Among the important hub genes in the protein-protein interaction networks, HNRNPM was selected as a research target. Following the knockdown of HNRNPM, the viability, migration, and invasion were detected by CCK8, wound healing, and transwell assays, respectively. The role of HNRNPM knockdown was also verified in a xenograft tumor model in mice. Immunohistochemistry detected the expression levels of HNRNPM and Ki67. Moreover, the ferroptosis was evaluated according to the levels of iron, glutathione peroxidase (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA), as well as the expression of PTGS2, GPX4, and FTH1. RESULTS Total 41 overlapping DEGs relating with ferroptosis and glioma were screened, among which 4 up-regulated hub genes (HNRNPM, HNRNPA3, RUVBL1, and SNRPPF) were determined. The up-regulation of HNRNPM presented a certain predictive value for glioma. In addition, knockdown of HNRNPM inhibited the viability, migration, and invasion of glioma cells in vitro, and also the tumor growth in mice. Notably, knockdown of HNRNPM enhanced the ferroptosis in glioma cells. Furthermore, HNRNPM was positively associated with SMARCA4 in glioma. CONCLUSIONS Knockdown of HNRNPM inhibits the progression of glioma via inducing ferroptosis. HNRNPM is a promising molecular target for the treatment of glioma via inducing ferroptosis. We provided new insights of glioma progression and potential therapeutic guidance.

World J Gastroenterol 2023; 29:4317-4333. [PMID: 37545635 PMCID: PMC10401664 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v29.i27.4317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancer types worldwide, and its prevention and treatment methods have garnered much attention. As the active ingredient of licorice, 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (18β-GRA) has a variety of pharmacological effects. The aim of this study was to explore the effective target of 18β-GRA in the treatment of GC, in order to provide effective ideas for the clinical prevention and treatment of GC.
AIM To investigate the mechanism of 18β-GRA in inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting autophagy flux in GC cells.
METHODS Whole transcriptomic analyses were used to analyze and screen differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in GC cells after 18β-GRA intervention. Lentivirus-transfected GC cells and the Cell Counting Kit-8 were used to detect cell proliferation ability, cell colony formation ability was detected by the clone formation assay, and flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle and apoptosis. A nude mouse transplantation tumor model of GC cells was constructed to verify the effect of miR-328-3p overexpression on the tumorigenicity of GC cells. Tumor tissue morphology was observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining, and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3) expression was detected by immunohistochemistry. TransmiR, STRING, and miRWalk databases were used to predict the relationship between miR-328-3p and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)-related information. Expression of STAT3 mRNA and miR-328-3p was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and the expression levels of STAT3, phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3), and LC3 were detected by western blot analysis. The targeted relationship between miR-328-3p and STAT3 was detected using the dual-luciferase reporter gene system. AGS cells were infected with monomeric red fluorescent protein-green fluorescent protein-LC3 adenovirus double label. LC3 was labeled and autophagy flow was observed under a confocal laser microscope.
RESULTS The expression of miR-328-3p was significantly upregulated after 18β-GRA intervention in AGS cells (P = 4.51E-06). Overexpression of miR-328-3p inhibited GC cell proliferation and colony formation ability, arrested the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase, promoted cell apoptosis, and inhibited the growth of subcutaneous tumors in BALB/c nude mice (P < 0.01). No obvious necrosis was observed in the tumor tissue in the negative control group (no drug intervention or lentivirus transfection) and vector group (the blank vector for lentivirus transfection), and more cells were loose and necrotic in the miR-328-3p group. Bioinformatics tools predicted that miR-328-3p has a targeting relationship with STAT3, and STAT3 was closely related to autophagy markers such as p62. After overexpressing miR-328-3p, the expression level of STAT3 mRNA was significantly decreased (P < 0.01) and p-STAT3 was downregulated (P < 0.05). The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay showed that the luciferase activity of miR-328-3p and STAT3 3’ untranslated regions of the wild-type reporter vector group was significantly decreased (P < 0.001). Overexpressed miR-328-3p combined with bafilomycin A1 (Baf A1) was used to detect the expression of LC3 II. Compared with the vector group, the expression level of LC3 II in the overexpressed miR-328-3p group was downregulated (P < 0.05), and compared with the Baf A1 group, the expression level of LC3 II in the overexpressed miR-328-3p + Baf A1 group was upregulated (P < 0.01). The expression of LC3 II was detected after intervention of 18β-GRA in GC cells, and the results were consistent with the results of miR-328-3p overexpression (P < 0.05). Additional studies showed that 18β-GRA promoted autophagy flow by promoting autophagosome synthesis (P < 0.001). qPCR showed that the expression of STAT3 mRNA was downregulated after drug intervention (P < 0.05). Western blot analysis showed that the expression levels of STAT3 and p-STAT3 were significantly downregulated after drug intervention (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION 18β-GRA promotes the synthesis of autophagosomes and inhibits GC cell proliferation by regulating the miR-328-3p/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Identification and validation of a novel prognostic signature based on mitochondria and oxidative stress related genes for glioblastoma. J Transl Med 2023; 21:136. [PMID: 36814293 PMCID: PMC9948483 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-03970-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2022] [Accepted: 02/05/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondria represent a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells, and the direct increase in ROS content is the primary cause of oxidative stress, which plays an important role in tumor proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, and treatment. However, the relationship between mitochondrial oxidative stress-related genes and glioblastoma (GBM) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the value of mitochondria and oxidative stress-related genes in the prognosis and therapeutic targets of GBM. METHODS We retrieved mitochondria and oxidative stress-related genes from several public databases. The LASSO regression and Cox analyses were utilized to build a risk model and the ROC curve was used to assess its performance. Then, we analyzed the correlation between the model and immunity and mutation. Furthermore, CCK8 and EdU assays were utilized to verify the proliferative capacity of GBM cells and flow cytometry was used to analyze apoptosis rates. Finally, the JC-1 assay and ATP levels were utilized to detect mitochondrial function, and the intracellular ROS levels were determined using MitoSOX and BODIPY 581/591 C11. RESULTS 5 mitochondrial oxidative stress-related genes (CTSL, TXNRD2, NUDT1, STOX1, CYP2E1) were screened by differential expression analysis and Cox analysis and incorporated in a risk model which yielded a strong prediction accuracy (AUC value = 0.967). Furthermore, this model was strongly related to immune cell infiltration and mutation status and could identify potential targeted therapeutic drugs for GBM. Finally, we selected NUDT1 for further validation in vitro. The results showed that NUDT1 was elevated in GBM, and knockdown of NUDT1 inhibited the proliferation and induced apoptosis of GBM cells, while knockdown of NUDT1 damaged mitochondrial homeostasis and induced oxidative stress in GBM cells. CONCLUSION Our study was the first to propose a prognostic model of mitochondria and oxidative stress-related genes, which provided potential therapeutic strategies for GBM patients.

Abstract
Background: Asthma was a chronic inflammatory illness driven by complicated genetic regulation and environmental exposure. The complex pathophysiology of asthma has not been fully understood. Ferroptosis was involved in inflammation and infection. However, the effect of ferroptosis on asthma was still unclear. The study was designed to identify ferroptosis-related genes in asthma, providing potential therapeutic targets. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive analysis combined with WGCNA, PPI, GO, KEGG, and CIBERSORT methods to identify ferroptosis-related genes that were associated with asthma and regulated the immune microenvironment in GSE147878 from the GEO. The results of this study were validated in GSE143303 and GSE27066, and the hub genes related to ferroptosis were further verified by immunofluorescence and RT-qPCR in the OVA asthma model. Results: 60 asthmatics and 13 healthy controls were extracted for WGCNA. We found that genes in the black module (r = -0.47, p < 0.05) and magenta module (r = 0.51, p < 0.05) were associated with asthma. CAMKK2 and CISD1 were discovered to be ferroptosis-related hub genes in the black and magenta module, separately. We found that CAMKK2 and CISD1 were mainly involved in the CAMKK-AMPK signaling cascade, the adipocytokine signaling pathway, the metal cluster binding, iron-sulfur cluster binding, and 2 iron, 2 sulfur cluster binding in the enrichment analysis, which was strongly correlated with the development of ferroptosis. We found more infiltration of M2 macrophages and less Tregs infiltration in the asthma group compared to healthy controls. In addition, the expression levels of CISD1 and Tregs were negatively correlated. Through validation, we found that CAMKK2 and CISD1 expression were upregulated in the asthma group compared to the control group and would inhibit the occurrence of ferroptosis. Conclusion: CAMKK2 and CISD1 might inhibit ferroptosis and specifically regulate asthma. Moreover, CISD1 might be tied to the immunological microenvironment. Our results could be useful to provide potential immunotherapy targets and prognostic markers for asthma.

Prognosis prediction and tumor immune microenvironment characterization based on tryptophan metabolism-related genes signature in brain glioma. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:1061597.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common malignant tumor in the central nervous system with no significant therapeutic breakthrough in recent years. Most attempts to apply immunotherapy in glioma have failed. Tryptophan and its metabolism can regulate malignant features of cancers and reshape immune microenvironment of tumors. However, the role of tryptophan metabolism in glioma remains unclear. In current study, we explored the relationships between the expression pattern of tryptophan metabolism-related genes (TrMGs) and tumor characteristics, including prognosis and tumor microenvironment of gliomas through analyzing 1,523 patients' samples from multiple public databases and our own cohort. Based on expression of TrMGs, K-means clustering analysis stratified all glioma patients into two clusters with significantly different TrMG expression patterns, clinicopathological features and immune microenvironment. Furthermore, we constructed a tryptophan metabolism-related genes signature (TrMRS) based on seven essential TrMGs to classify the patients into TrMRS low- and high-risk groups and validated the prognostic value of the TrMRS in multiple cohorts. Higher TrMRS represented for potentially more active tryptophan catabolism, which could subsequently lead to less tryptophan in tumor. The TrMRS high-risk group presented with shorter overall survival, and further analysis confirmed TrMRS as an independent prognostic factor in gliomas. The nomograms uniting TrMRS with other prognostic factors manifested with satisfactory efficacy in predicting the prognosis of glioma patients. Additionally, analyses of tumor immune landscapes demonstrated that higher TrMRS was correlated with more immune cell infiltration and "hot" immunological phenotype. TrMRS was also demonstrated to be positively correlated with the expression of multiple immunotherapy targets, including PD1 and PD-L1. Finally, the TrMRS high-risk group manifested better predicted response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. In conclusion, our study illustrated the relationships between expression pattern of TrMGs and characteristics of gliomas, and presented a novel model based on TrMRS for prognosis prediction in glioma patients. The association between TrMRS and tumor immune microenvironment of gliomas indicated an important role of tryptophan and its metabolism in reshaping immune landscape and the potential ability to guide the application of immunotherapy for gliomas.

Abstract
Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction (HGWD), as a classic Chinese herbal decoction, has been widely used in treating various diseases for hundreds of years. However, systematically elucidating its mechanisms of action remains a great challenge to the field. In this study, taking advantage of the network pharmacology approach, we discovered a potential new use of HGWD for patients with colon cancer (CC). Our in vivo result showed that orally administered HGWD markedly inhibited the growth of CC xenografts in mice. The subsequent enrichment analyses for the core therapeutic targets revealed that HGWD could affect multiple biological processes involving CC growth, such as metabolic reprogramming, apoptosis and immune regulation, through inhibiting multiple cell survival-related signalings, including MAPK and PI3K-AKT pathways. Notably, these in silico analysis results were most experimentally verified by a series of in vitro assays. Furthermore, our results based on serum metabolomics showed that the lipid metabolic pathways, including fatty acid biosynthesis and cholesterol metabolism, play key roles in delivery of the anti-CC effect of HGWD on tumor-bearing mice, and that cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 (CYP2E1) is a potential therapeutic target. Together, our integrated approach reveals a therapeutic effect of HGWD on CC, providing a valuable insight into developing strategies to predict and interpret the mechanisms of action for Chinese herbal decoctions.

Abstract
Lipid metabolism affects cell proliferation, differentiation, membrane homeostasis and drug resistance. An in-depth exploration of lipid metabolism in gliomas might provide a novel direction for gliomas treatment. A lipid metabolism-related risk signature was constructed in our study to assess the prognosis of patients with gliomas. Lipid metabolism-related genes were extracted. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened, and a risk signature was built. The ability of the risk signature to predict the outcomes of patients with gliomas was assessed using the log-rank test and Cox regression analysis. The relationships between immunological characteristics, drug sensitivity and the risk score were evaluated, and the risk-related mechanisms were also estimated. Twenty lipid metabolism-related DEGs associated with the patient prognosis were included in the risk signature. The survival rate of high-risk patients was worse than that of low-risk patients. The risk score independently predicted the outcomes of patients. Immunological parameters, drug sensitivity, immunotherapy benefits, and numerous molecular mechanisms were significantly associated with the risk score. A lipid metabolism-related risk signature might effectively assess the prognosis of patients with gliomas. The risk score might guide individualized treatment and further clinical decision-making for patients with gliomas.

Potential mechanisms underlying the promoting effects of 3D collagen scaffold culture on stemness and drug resistance of glioma cells. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2022; 1868:166522. [PMID: 35981653 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2022.166522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 10/31/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND 3D collagen scaffold culture is a good tool to study glioma metastasis and recurrence in vitro. METHODS The effect of 3D collagen culture on the colony formation, the sphere formation, and drug sensitivity of glioma cells was observed by soft-agar colony formation assays, sphere formation assays, and CCK-8 assays, respectively. 3D-glioma-drug genes were identified by previous results and online databases. Gene enrichment and PPI analyses were performed by R software and Metacsape. Hub 3D-glioma-drug genes were screened by STRING and Cytoscape. TCGA and CGGA databases and R software were used to analyze the distribution of hub genes in glioma and their effects on the prognosis. Western Blot was used to verify the effect of 3D collagen culture on the expression of hub genes. miRNAs targeting hub genes were predicted by ENCORI. RESULTS 3D collagen scaffold culture promoted colony formation, sphere formation, and drug resistance of glioma cells. There were 77 3D-glioma-drug genes screened, and the pathways enriched in the protein interaction network mainly included responses to stressors, DNA damage and repair, and drug metabolism. Hub 3D-glioma-drug genes were AKT1, ATM, CASP3, CCND1, EGFR, PARP1, and TP53. These genes and predicted miRNAs were expressed differentially in glioma samples and partially affected the prognosis of patients with glioma. These findings suggested these hub genes and miRNAs may play a key role in the effects generated by the 3D culture model and become new markers for glioma diagnosis and treatment.

Front Immunol 2022; 13:865020. [PMID: 36119086 PMCID: PMC9472524 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.865020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
MS4A6A has been recognized as being associated with aging and the onset of neurodegenerative disease. However, the mechanisms of MS4A6A in glioma biology and prognosis are ill-defined. Here, we show that MS4A6A is upregulated in glioma tissues, resulting in unfavorable clinical outcomes and poor responses to adjuvant chemotherapy. Multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that MS4A6A expression can act as a strong and independent predictor for glioma outcomes (CGGA1: HR: 1.765, p < 0.001; CGGA2: HR: 2.626, p < 0.001; TCGA: HR: 1.415, p < 0.001; Rembrandt: HR: 1.809, p < 0.001; Gravendeel: HR: 1.613, p < 0.001). A protein–protein interaction (PPI) network revealed that MS4A6A might be coexpressed with CD68, CD163, and macrophage-specific signatures. Enrichment analysis showed the innate immune response and inflammatory response to be markedly enriched in the high MS4A6A expression group. Additionally, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis revealed distinctive expression features for MS4A6A in macrophages in the glioma immune microenvironment (GIME). Immunofluorescence staining confirmed colocalization of CD68/MS4A6A and CD163/MS4A6A in macrophages. Correlation analysis revealed that MS4A6A expression is positively related to the tumor mutation burden (TMB) of glioma, displaying the high potential of applying MS4A6A to evaluate responsiveness to immunotherapy. Altogether, our research indicates that MS4A6A upregulation may be used as a promising and effective indicator for adjuvant therapy and prognosis assessment.

Ferroptosis Modulation: Potential Therapeutic Target for Glioblastoma Treatment. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23136879. [PMID: 35805884 PMCID: PMC9266903 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23136879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme is a lethal disease and represents the most common and severe type of glioma. Drug resistance and the evasion of cell death are the main characteristics of its malignancy, leading to a high percentage of disease recurrence and the patients’ low survival rate. Exploiting the modulation of cell death mechanisms could be an important strategy to prevent tumor development and reverse the high mortality and morbidity rates in glioblastoma patients. Ferroptosis is a recently described type of cell death, which is characterized by iron accumulation, high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-containing phospholipids, and deficiency in lipid peroxidation repair. Several studies have demonstrated that ferroptosis has a potential role in cancer treatment and could be a promising approach for glioblastoma patients. Thus, here, we present an overview of the mechanisms of the iron-dependent cell death and summarize the current findings of ferroptosis modulation on glioblastoma including its non-canonical pathway. Moreover, we focused on new ferroptosis-inducing compounds for glioma treatment, and we highlight the key ferroptosis-related genes to glioma prognosis, which could be further explored. Thereby, understanding how to trigger ferroptosis in glioblastoma may provide promising pharmacological targets and indicate new therapeutic approaches to increase the survival of glioblastoma patients.

Br J Clin Pharmacol 2022; 88:4505-4514. [PMID: 35487881 PMCID: PMC9542360 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.15376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2021] [Revised: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims To investigate the effects of ABCB1 DNA methylation in donors on individual differences in tacrolimus blood concentrations following liver transplantation. Methods Twenty‐three donor liver samples carrying the CYP3A5*3/*3 genotype were classified into 2 groups based on their initial tacrolimus blood concentrations (C0 >10 μg/L or <5 μg/L) following liver transplantation. ABCB1 mRNA levels in liver tissues and HepG2 cells were determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. DNA methylation status in liver tissues and HepG2 cells was determined using Illumina 850 methylation chip sequencing technology and pyrosequencing. 5‐Aza‐2dC was used to reverse methylation in HepG2 cells. Intracellular tacrolimus concentrations were determined by liquid mass spectrometry. Results Genome‐wide methylation sequencing and pyrosequencing analyses showed that the methylation levels of 3 ABCB1 CpG sites (cg12501229, cg00634941 and cg05496710) were significantly different between groups with different tacrolimus concentration/dose (C0/D) ratios. ABCB1 mRNA expression in donor livers was found to be positively correlated with tacrolimus C0/D ratio (R = .458, P < .05). After treatment with 5‐Aza‐2‐Dc, the methylation levels of the ABCB1 CpG sites in HepG2 cells significantly decreased, and this was confirmed by pyrosequencing; there was also a significant increase in ABCB1 transcription, which induced a decrease in intracellular tacrolimus concentrations. Conclusion ABCB1 CpG site methylation affects tacrolimus metabolism in humans by regulating ABCB1 expression. Therefore, ABCB1 DNA methylation in donor livers might be an important epigenetic factor that affects tacrolimus blood concentrations following liver transplantation.

Artificial Intelligence Algorithm-Based Intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Navigation for Glioma Resection. CONTRAST MEDIA & MOLECULAR IMAGING 2022; 2022:4147970. [PMID: 35317129 PMCID: PMC8916889 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4147970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2021] [Revised: 01/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
The study aimed to analyze the application value of artificial intelligence algorithm-based intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) in neurosurgical glioma resection. 108 patients with glioma in a hospital were selected and divided into the experimental group (intraoperative magnetic resonance assisted glioma resection) and the control group (conventional surgical experience resection), with 54 patients in each group. After the resection, the tumor resection rate, NIHSS (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale) score, Karnofsky score, and postoperative intracranial infection were calculated in the two groups. The results revealed that the average tumor resection rate in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in Karnofsky score before and after the operation in the experimental group (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in NIHSS score between the experimental group and the control group after resection (P > 0.05). The number of patients with postoperative neurological deficits in the experimental group was smaller than that in the control group. In addition, there was no significant difference in infection rates between the two groups after glioma resection (P > 0.05). In summary, intraoperative magnetic resonance navigation on the basis of a segmentation dictionary learning algorithm has great clinical value in neurosurgical glioma resection. It can maximize the removal of tumors and ensure the integrity of neurological function while avoiding an increased risk of postoperative infection, which is of great significance for the treatment of glioma.

[PMID: 34612013 PMCID: PMC8607268 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.4320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2021] [Revised: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To explore the role and possible regulatory mechanisms of CYP2E1 in gliomas. Methods RNA‑seq data and corresponding clinical information of glioma patients were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas, and mRNA data of normal brain tissues were obtained by the Genotype‐Tissue Expression project. The Wilcoxon test was performed to analyze the correlation between CYP2E1 expression and glioma subtypes. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression, receiver operating characteristic curves, and Kaplan–Meier plots were used to evaluate the prognostic value of CYP2E1 in glioma. Functional enrichment analyses and immune infiltration analyses were performed to investigate the potential function of CYP2E1 in gliomas. Moreover, we investigated the miRNA and epigenetic mechanisms that regulate CYP2E1 expression. Finally, network pharmacology and molecular docking experiments were used to predict drugs that target CYP2E1. Results The downregulation of CYP2E1 expression may predict a poor prognosis for glioma patients. CYP2E1 expression decreased with increasing WHO grade (II–IV), and its level was correlated with clinical features, including age, 1p19q codeletion status, and IDH state in glioma tissues. Furthermore, CYP2E1 was involved in lipid metabolism and ferroptosis and related to the tumor immune microenvironment due to its strong correlation with the levels of infiltrating monocytes and Tregs. Moreover, variation in the total methylation level and copy number of CYP2E1 was moderately correlated with its mRNA expression (p < 0.05). CYP2E1 was predicted to be targeted by hsa‐miR‐527, whose expression was negatively related to CYP2E1 mRNA expression (p < 0.05). In addition, effective compounds that target CYP2E1, including 18beta‐glycyrrhetinic acid, styrene, toluene, nicotine, m‐xylene, p‐xylene, and colchicine, were identified. Conclusion The downregulation of CYP2E1, which affects lipid metabolism and the ferroptosis signaling pathway, promotes the progression of gliomas.
