Heliyon 2024; 10:e36882. [PMID: 39281596 PMCID: PMC11401198 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e36882] [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: 06/21/2024] [Revised: 08/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is one of the most common malignancies. Infection of helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a major risk factor that leads to the development of STAD. This study constructed a risk model based on the H. pylori-related macrophages for predicting STAD prognosis. Methods The single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) dataset and the clinic information and RNA-seq datasets of STAD patients were collected for establishing a prognostic model and for validation. The "Seurat" and "harmony" packages were used to process the scRNA-seq data. Key gene modules were sectioned using the "limma" package and the "WGCNA" package. Kaplan-Meier (KM) and Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC) analyses were performed with "survminer" package. The "GSVA" package was employed for single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). Cell migration and invasion were measured by carrying out wound healing and trans-well assays. Results A total of 17397 were screened and classified into 8 cell type clusters, among which the macrophage cluster was closely associated with the H. pylori infection. Macrophages were further categorized into four subtypes (including C1, C2, C3, and C4), and highly variable genes of macrophage subtype C4 could serve as an indicator of the prognosis of STAD. Subsequently, we developed a RiskScore model based on six H. pylori -associated genes (TNFRSF1B, CTLA4, ABCA1, IKBIP, AKAP5, and NPC2) and observed that the high-risk patients exhibited poor prognosis, higher suppressive immune infiltration, and were closely associated with cancer activation-related pathways. Furthermore, a nomogram combining the RiskScore was developed to accurately predict the survival of STAD patients. AB CA 1 in the RiskScore model significantly affected the migration and invasion of tumor cells. Conclusion The gene expression profile served as an indicator of the survival for patients with STAD and addressed the clinical significance of using H. pylori-associated genes to treat STAD. The current findings provided novel understandings for the clinical evaluation and management of STAD.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and current treatments are still based on surgery and drug therapy. However, due to the complexity of immunosuppression and drug resistance, the treatment of gastric cancer still faces great challenges. Chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) is one of the most common therapeutic targets in targeted therapy. As a G protein-coupled receptor, CXCR2 and its ligands play important roles in tumorigenesis and progression. The abnormal expression of these genes in cancer plays a decisive role in the recruitment and activation of white blood cells, angiogenesis, and cancer cell proliferation, and CXCR2 is involved in various stages of tumor development. Therefore, interfering with the interaction between CXCR2 and its ligands is considered a possible target for the treatment of various tumors, including gastric cancer.

Abstract
Precancerous lesions of gastric cancer (PLGC) represent a critical pathological stage in the transformation from normal gastric mucosa to gastric cancer (GC). The global incidence of PLGC has been rising over the past few decades, with a trend towards younger onset ages. Increasing evidence suggests that early prevention and treatment of PLGC can effectively reverse the malignant development of gastric mucosal epithelial cells. However, there is currently a lack of effective therapeutic drugs and methods. Recent years have witnessed substantial advancements in PLGC research, with the elucidation of novel regulatory mechanisms offering promising avenues for clinical intervention and drug development. This review aims to delineate potential targets for early prevention and diagnosis of GC while exploring innovative approaches to PLGC management. This article focuses on elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of the inflammatory microenvironment, bile acids (BA), glycolysis, autophagy, apoptosis, ferroptosis, and cellular senescence. We pay particular attention to potential therapeutic targets for PLGC, with the goal of providing insights and theoretical basis for clinical research on PLGC.

Increased ONECUT2 induced by Helicobacter pylori promotes gastric cancer cell stemness via an AKT-related pathway. Cell Death Dis 2024; 15:497.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection initiates and promotes gastric carcinogenesis. ONECUT2 shows promise for tumor diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. This study explored ONECUT2's role and the specific mechanism underlying HP infection-associated gastric carcinogenesis to suggest a basis for targeting ONECUT2 as a therapeutic strategy for gastric cancer (GC). Multidimensional data supported an association between ONECUT2, HP infection, and GC pathogenesis. HP infection upregulated ONECUT2 transcriptional activity via NFκB. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that ONECUT2 increased the stemness of GC cells. ONECUT2 was also shown to inhibit PPP2R4 transcription, resulting in reduced PP2A activity, which in turn increased AKT/β-catenin phosphorylation. AKT/β-catenin phosphorylation facilitates β-catenin translocation to the nucleus, initiating transcription of downstream stemness-associated genes in GC cells. HP infection upregulated the reduction of AKT and β-catenin phosphorylation triggered by ONECUT2 downregulation via ONECUT2 induction. Clinical survival analysis indicated that high ONECUT2 expression may indicate poor prognosis in GC. This study highlights a critical role played by ONECUT2 in promoting HP infection-associated GC by enhancing cell stemness through the PPP2R4/AKT/β-catenin signaling pathway. These findings suggest promising therapeutic strategies and potential targets for GC treatment.

Abstract
Chronic gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection can lead to gastric atrophy. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with gastric atrophy in H. pylori eradication patients with drinking habits. Of the 250 patients who visited Hamamatsu University Hospital for H. pylori eradication and underwent eradication treatment between April 2017 and December 2020, 127 patients with drinking habits were included in this study. The degree of gastric atrophy of the patients was classified based on endoscopy. The relationship between patient attributes (sex, age, alcohol consumption, frequency of drinking, smoking status, and medication use) and a highly atrophic stomach was statistically analyzed. The results showed that gastric atrophy was significantly higher in males and in those aged 60 years or older and that gastric atrophy tended to be higher in those who drank 20 g or more per day and 5 days or more a week. There was also a trend toward higher atrophy in sake drinkers and lower atrophy in wine drinkers. This study provides useful knowledge for patient management and guidance after H. pylori eradication treatment and indicates the importance of comprehensive measures, including alcohol consumption control and lifestyle modification, especially for men and older people.

INDIAN J PATHOL MICR 2024; 67:510-517.

Abstract
CONTEXT Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ), a spiral-shaped bacterium, is closely associated with chronic, progressive gastric mucosal damage, gastric atrophy, and even gastric cancer (GC). An increasing number of studies have addressed the correlation between long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and H. pylori pathogenicity in GC. OBJECTIVE In this study, we found that the expression level of LINC00659 gradually increased in the progression from atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and dysplasia to GC in H. pylori -infected patients. Thus, we aimed to further explore the function of LINC00659 in the progression of gastritis to cancer under H. pylori infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS StarBase predictions, ribonucleic acid (RNA)-binding protein immunoprecipitation assays, and gene ontology functional annotation (GO)/Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed to identify the RNA-binding proteins of LINC00659; moreover, qRT‒PCR, western blotting, RNA interference, and immunofluorescence assays were used to investigate the function of LINC00659. RESULTS LINC00659 bound directly to the RNA-binding protein polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTBP1). Importantly, qRT‒PCR and western blot assays demonstrated that PTBP1 expression increased in the progression from inflammation to cancer in the stomach of H. pylori -infected patients and H. pylori -infected GES-1 cells. However, LINC00659 knockdown downregulated PTBP1 expression and inhibited PTBP1 binding under H. pylori infection. Finally, LINC00659 knockdown significantly reduced H. pylori -induced human gastric epithelial cell senescence and suppressed interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 secretion by reducing the phosphorylation level of NF-κB p65. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that LINC00659 may have the potential to be a novel promising prognostic and therapeutic marker for H. pylori -associated gastric diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a global digestive system disease and one of the important causes of gastric cancer. The incidence of CAG has been increasing yearly worldwide. PURPOSE This article reviews the latest research on the common causes and future therapeutic targets of CAG as well as the pharmacological effects of corresponding clinical drugs. We provide a detailed theoretical basis for further research on possible methods for the treatment of CAG and reversal of the CAG process. RESULTS CAG often develops from chronic gastritis, and its main pathological manifestation is atrophy of the gastric mucosa, which can develop into gastric cancer. The drug treatment of CAG can be divided into agents that regulate gastric acid secretion, eradicate Helicobacter. pylori (H. pylori), protect gastric mucous membrane, or inhibit inflammatory factors according to their mechanism of action. Although there are limited specific drugs for the treatment of CAG, progress is being made in defining the pathogenesis and therapeutic targets of the disease. Growing evidence shows that NF-κB, PI3K/AKT, Wnt/ β-catenin, MAPK, Toll-like receptors (TLRs), Hedgehog, and VEGF signaling pathways play an important role in the development of CAG.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori has been classified as a class I carcinogen by WHO because of its primary involvement in the development of gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. This review focuses on understanding the molecular pathophysiological mechanisms that operate within intracellular transduction pathways and their relevance in the treatment strategies for the two main diseases caused by H. pylori. H. pylori virulence factors such as cytotoxin-associated gene A and vacuolating cytotoxin A genotypes, inflammatory mediators, H. pylori-induced microRNA deregulation, alterations in autophagy proteins and regulators, and changes in DNA methylation are some of the molecular mechanisms that play essential roles in H. pylori infection and gastric carcinogenesis. The discovery of novel treatment strategies that target the deregulated intracellular transduction pathways in gastric carcinogenesis and MALT lymphoma is critical. H. pylori eradication (HPE) is not limited to H. pylori-dependent low-grade MALT lymphoma and may be used in patients with high-grade diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (de novo or DLBCL-MALT lymphoma). The loss of H. pylori dependency and high-grade transformation appear to be distinct events in the progression of gastric lymphoma. Interestingly, patients with H. pylori-positive gastric DLBCL without histological evidence of MALT lymphoma (pure gastric DLBCL) may respond to HPE therapy.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection induces DNA Double-Strand Breaks (DSBs) and consequently activates the DNA Damage Response pathway (DDR) and senescence in gastric epithelium. We studied DDR activation and senescence before and after the eradication of the pathogen. Gastric antral and corpus biopsies of 61 patients with H. pylori infection, prior to and after eradication treatment, were analyzed by means of immunohistochemistry/immunofluorescence for DDR marker (γH2AΧ, phosporylated ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (pATM), p53-binding protein (53BP1) and p53) expression. Samples were also evaluated for Ki67 (proliferation index), cleaved caspase-3 (apoptotic index) and GL13 staining (cellular senescence). Ten H. pylori (-) dyspeptic patients served as controls. All patients were re-endoscoped in 72-1361 days (mean value 434 days), and tissue samples were processed in the same manner. The eradication of the microorganism, in human gastric mucosa, downregulates γH2AΧ expression in both the antrum and corpus (p = 0.00019 and p = 0.00081 respectively). The expression of pATM, p53 and 53BP1 is also reduced after eradication. Proliferation and apoptotic indices were reduced, albeit not significantly, after pathogen clearance. Moreover, cellular senescence is increased in H. pylori-infected mucosa and remains unaffected after eradication. Interestingly, senescence was statistically increased in areas of intestinal metaplasia (IM) compared with adjacent non-metaplastic mucosa (p < 0.001). In conclusion, H. pylori infection triggers DSBs, DDR and senescence in the gastric epithelium. Pathogen eradication reverses the DDR activation but not senescence. Increased senescent cells may favor IM persistence, thus potentially contributing to gastric carcinogenesis.

Chronic low-dose deltamethrin exposure induces colon injury and aggravates DSS-induced colitis via promoting cellular senescence. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 274:116214. [PMID: 38489907 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deltamethrin (DLM) is a commonly used insecticide, which is harmful to many organs. Here, we explored the effects of chronic low-dose DLM residues on colon tissue and its potential mechanism. METHODS The mice were given long-term low-dose DLM by intragastric administration, and the body weights and disease activity index (DAI) scores of the mice were regularly recorded. The colon tissues were then collected for hematoxylin-eosin, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry staining. Besides, the RNA sequencing was performed to explore the potential mechanism. RESULTS Our results showed that long-term exposure to low-dose DLM could cause inflammation in mice colon tissue, manifested as weight loss, increased DAI score, increased apoptosis of colonic epithelial cells, and increased infiltration of inflammatory cells. However, we observed that after long-term exposure to DLM and withdrawal for a period of time, although apoptosis was restored, the recovery of colon inflammation was not ideal. Subsequently, we performed RNA sequencing and found that long-term DLM exposure could lead to the senescence of some cells in mice colon tissue. The results of staining of cellular senescence markers in colon tissue showed that the level of cellular senescence in the DLM group was significantly increased, and the p53 signalling related to senescence was also significantly activated, indicating that cellular senescence played a key role in DLM-induced colitis. We further treated mice with quercetin (QUE) after long-term DLM exposure, and found that QUE could indeed alleviate DLM-induced colitis. In addition, we observed that long-term accumulation of DLM could aggravate DSS-induced colitis in mice, and QUE treatment could reverse this scenario. CONCLUSION Continuous intake of DLM caused chronic colitis in mice, and the inflammation persisted even after discontinuation of DLM intake. This was attributed to the induction of cellular senescence in colon tissue. Treatment with QUE alleviated DLM-induced colitis by reducing cellular senescence. Long-term DLM exposure also aggravated DSS-induced colitis, which could be mitigated by QUE treatment.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) resistance is the most important risk factor for eradication failure. However, in most regions, antibiotic resistance rates of H. pylori in patients with different types of gastric mucosal lesions are still unclear. An 8-year clinical retrospective cohort study involving 2847 patients was performed. In this study, we first summarized and compared the resistance status of H. pylori in different years, ages, sexes, and gastric diseases. The resistance profiles of amoxicillin (AMX), clarithromycin (CLR), levofloxacin (LVX) and furazolidone (FR) and their changing trends in the clinic were described. Then, multiple antibiotic resistance in different gastric diseases and years were described and compared. The relationship between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication history and antibiotic resistance in H. pylori was also explored. Finally, an antibiotic resistance risk model was constructed for clinical resistance risk prediction. The overall resistance rates of AMX, CLR, LVX and FR in gastric diseases were 8.18%, 38.11%, 43.98%, and 13.73%, respectively. The mono resistance, double resistance, triple resistance, and quadruple resistance rates were 30.17%, 25.96%, 6.46%, and 0.63%, respectively. Compared with the period from 2014 to 2016, the rates of mono-resistance and multiple resistance all showed relatively downward trends in the past 5 years. Factors including age, sex, type of gastric lesions and recent PPI treatment history are associated with the antibiotic resistance rate of H. pylori. Atrophic gastritis is an important clinical feature of high-risk antibiotic resistance in H. pylori-infected patients. Patients with atrophic gastritis have higher risk of resistant strains infection. In this study, our data provide the association between antibiotic resistance of H. pylori and gastritis pattern, which indicate the higher risk of resistant strain infection if the patients with atrophic gastritis, PPI history and older age.

Abstract
To explore Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection status and its relationship with lifestyle habits and dietary factors in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis. Six hundred thirty-eight patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, who were admitted to our hospital from March 2021 to April 2023, were selected for the study. All patients underwent the 13C urea breath test. The relationship between the detection rate of Hp infection and the clinical characteristics, lifestyle habits, and dietary factors of the patients was analyzed. Among the 638 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, 531 patients were tested positive for Hp infection, the positive rate for Hp infection was approximately 83.23%. Analyzing the clinical characteristics of the patients, it was found that age, family history of gastric cancer, degree of chronic inflammation, degree of glandular atrophy, presence of low-grade dysplasia, and intestinal metaplasia all have an impact on the positive detection rate of patients (P < .05). Analyzing the patients' lifestyle habits, it was found that BMI, smoking history, alcohol consumption, preference for spicy food, dining location, consumption of pickled foods, frequent consumption of grilled/barbecued foods, preference for strong tea, consumption of sweets, and work-related stress had an impact on the positive rate of Hp infection in patients (P < .05). The discovery showed that the levels of total protein, albumin, hemoglobin, cholesterol, and the intake of livestock and poultry meat, seafood, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, and fats have an impact on the positivity rate of Hp infection in patients (P < .05). A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed, and it was found that patients' age, family history of gastric cancer, degree of chronic inflammation, degree of glandular atrophy, presence of low-grade dysplasia, presence of wasting or obesity, history of alcohol consumption, preference for spicy food, dining location, frequent consumption of strong tea, high work pressure, high intake of fish and seafood, low intake of dairy products, low intake of vegetables, low intake of fruits, and low intake of fats all had an impact on the occurrence of Hp infection in patients (P < .05). There is a certain correlation between patients' lifestyle habits, dietary factors, and clinical characteristics with the occurrence of Hp infection. These factors can assist in the prevention of Hp infection.

Anti-aging formula protects skin from oxidative stress-induced senescence through the inhibition of CXCR2 expression. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 318:116996. [PMID: 37598772 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The skin is affected by endogenous and exogenous factors, which are the intuitive consequence expression of aging. Aging not only affects the aesthetics of the skin but also causes the decline of skin functions, leading to many skin diseases and even skin cancer. Anti-aging formula (AAF) has various biological effects such as antioxidants, regulation of intestinal flora metabolism, anti-aging, and memory improvement. However, it is not clarified whether it could be anti-aging of the skin and the anti-aging mechanism. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to investigate whether AAF could prevent skin from oxidative stress-induced senescence and explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A mouse skin oxidative stress aging model was established based on ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, and parameters such as skin water content, melanogenesis, wrinkle production, pathological changes, and aging marker proteins were measured to elucidate whether AAF has an anti-aging effect on the skin. Subsequently, transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) was used to identify target genes. An in vitro cellular senescence model was established to assess the role of AAF against cellular oxidative stress senescence by detecting senescence-related markers, while the specific mechanism of action of AAF in delaying skin senescence was elucidated by silencing or overexpression of targets. RESULTS In vivo experiments demonstrated that AAF significantly increased skin water content, reduced skin sensitivity and melanin content, slowed wrinkles, improved UV-induced epidermal thickening, increased collagen fiber content, improved elastic fiber morphology, and reduced the expression of senescence proteins P21 and P16 in skin tissues. The RNA-Seq results identified chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) as one of the potential targets for delaying skin senescence. In vitro experiments showed that AAF markedly improved the aging phenotype, and knockdown or overexpression experiments verified the essential role of CXCR2 in the skin senescence process. Mechanistic studies suggested that AAF inhibited the P38/P53 pathway by reducing CXCR2 expression, which improved the aging phenotype, reduced oxidative damage, and ultimately delayed cellular senescence. CONCLUSION The results reveal that AAF protects skin from oxidative stress-induced senescence by regulating the expression of critical target CXCR2, reducing P38 protein phosphorylation, and inhibiting P53 pathway activation. These discoveries implicate the potential of AAF in the protection of skin aging disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an exceedingly intractable issue affecting female endocrine and reproductive health. However, the etiology and intricate pathological mechanisms of PCOS remain unclear. Nowadays, aging was found to share multiple common pathological mechanisms with PCOS, which causes probing into the pathogenesis of PCOS from senescence. However, no bioinformatics analyses have specifically focused on connection between PCOS and ovarian aging. METHODS Differentially expressed aging-related genes in PCOS were identified and then analyzed using function enrichment method. Hub genes were determined based on multiple algorithms, and expression validation of hub genes was performed in both datasets and experiments (human granulosa-like tumor cell line, KGN; human Granulosa Cell, hGCs). Finally, a transcription factor-miRNA-gene network of hub genes was constructed. RESULTS Here, we identified 73 aging-related differential expression genes (ARDEGs) by intersecting DEGs in PCOS and senescence-related gene set. Furthermore, we performed biological functions and potential pathways of ARDEGs and potential hub genes were also screened by multiple algorithms. From the perspective of immune dysfunction, we analyzed the correlation between PCOS and immune cells. Finally, TF-miRNA-gene networks were constructed. Finally, TF-miRNA-gene networks were constructed. CONCLUSIONS Our work aimed to elucidate the relation between PCOS and cellular senescence based on bioinformatics strategy, deepening the understanding of mechanisms and to seek for novel therapy strategies for improving reproductive lifespan and female health. Exploring the potential molecular mechanism of cell aging in PCOS is expected to bring a new breakthrough for PCOS diagnosis and therapy strategies. And this, might deepen our understanding about intricate mechanisms of ovarian aging.

Helicobacter 2024; 29:e13042. [PMID: 38018403 DOI: 10.1111/hel.13042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It's still controversial whether Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication can reverse atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM). Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to estimate the effect of H. pylori eradication on AG and IM. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Web of Science and EMBASE datasets through April 2023 for epidemiological studies, which provided mean glandular atrophy (GA) or IM score before and after H. pylori eradication, or provided ORs, RRs or HRs and 95% CIs for the association of AG or IM with H. pylori eradication. Weighted mean difference (WMD) and pooled ORs and 95%CIs were used to estimate the effect of H. pylori eradication on AG and IM. RESULTS Twenty articles with a total of 5242 participants were included in this meta-analysis. H. pylori eradication significantly decreased GA score in the antrum (WMD -0.36; 95% CI: -0.52, -0.19, p < 0.01), GA score in the corpus (WMD -0.35; 95% CI: -0.52, -0.19, p < 0.01), IM score in the antrum (WMD -0.16; 95% CI: -0.26, -0.07, p < 0.01) and IM score in the corpus (WMD -0.20; 95% CI: -0.37, -0.04, p = 0.01). H. pylori eradication significantly improved AG (pooled OR 2.96; 95% CI: 1.70, 5.14, p < 0.01) and IM (pooled OR 2.41; 95% CI: 1.24, 4.70, p < 0.01). The association remained significant in the subgroup analyses by study design, sites of lesions, regions and follow-up time. Although Publication bias was observed for AG, the association remained significant after trim-and-fill adjustment. CONCLUSIONS H. pylori eradication could significantly improve AG and IM at early stage.

Mechanistic inhibition of gastric cancer-associated bacteria Helicobacter pylori by selected phytocompounds: A new cutting-edge computational approach. Heliyon 2023; 9:e20670. [PMID: 37876433 PMCID: PMC10590806 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e20670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a persistent bacterial inhabitant in the stomachs of approximately half the global populace. This bacterium is directly linked to chronic gastritis, leading to a heightened risk of duodenal and gastric ulcer diseases, and is the predominant risk factor for gastric cancer - the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance necessitates the exploration of innovative treatment alternatives to mitigate the H. pylori menace. Methods Initiating our study, we curated a list of thirty phytochemicals based on previous literature and subjected them to molecular docking studies. Subsequently, eight phytocompounds-Glabridin, Isoliquiritin, Sanguinarine, Liquiritin, Glycyrrhetic acid, Beta-carotin, Diosgenin, and Sarsasapogenin-were meticulously chosen based on superior binding scores. These were further subjected to an extensive computational analysis encompassing ADMET profiling, drug-likeness evaluation, principal component analysis (PCA), and molecular dynamic simulations (MDs) in comparison with the conventional drug, Mitomycin. Results The natural compounds investigated demonstrated superior docking affinities to H. pylori targets compared to the standard Mitomycin. Notably, the phytocompounds Diosgenin and Sarsasapogenin stood out due to their exceptional binding affinities and pharmacokinetic properties, including favorable ADMET profiles. Conclusion Our comprehensive and technologically-advanced approach showcases the potential of identified phytocompounds as pioneering therapeutic agents against H. pylori-induced gastric malignancies. In light of our promising in silico results, we recommend these natural compounds as potential candidates for advancing H. pylori-targeted drug development. Given their potential, we strongly advocate for subsequent in vitro and in vivo studies to validate their therapeutic efficacy against this formidable gastrointestinal bacterium.

Abstract
After being ingested and entering the human stomach, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) adopts several effective strategies to adhere to and colonize the gastric mucosa and move to different regions of the stomach to obtain more nutrients and escape from the harsher environments of the stomach, leading to acute infection and chronic gastritis, which is the basis of malignant gastric tumors. The endoscopic manifestations and pathological features of H. pylori infection are diverse and vary with the duration of infection. In this review, we describe the endoscopic manifestations of each stage of H. pylori gastritis and then reveal the potential mechanisms of bacterial intragastric colonization and migration from the perspective of endoscopists to provide direction for future research on the effective therapy and management of H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Background Recently, the effects of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection on the prognosis of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) are still unclear. The aim of our study was to discuss the role of H. pylori infection on the prognosis of CAG by inducing the M1/M2 macrophage polarization. Methods A total of 180 subjects as control (group 1), CAG patients without H. pylori infection (group 2) and H. pylori-associated CAG patients (group 3) were respectively recruited for this cross-sectional investigation in Daqing Oilfield General Hospital from May 2019 to July 2020. Their serum samples were collected to determine the concentrations of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Meanwhile, the gastric mucosa was excised to determine the related gene expressions on the M1/M2 macrophage polarization. Then the prognosis of CAG was evaluated according to the status of clinical manifestations and endoscopic examination after the follow-up. Results Notably, it was proved that compared with the control group, the expressions and concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines (M1 macrophage: inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and interleukin-6 (IL-6)) were significantly higher, while the anti-inflammatory cytokines (M2 macrophage: arginase-1 (Arg-1), IL-4 and IL-10) were apparently reduced in the group 2 and group 3 (P < 0.05). Moreover, more days were needed for the prognosis of CAG in group 3 than those in group 2, which was accompanied by higher expressions of pro-inflammatory and lower anti-inflammatory cytokines at the baseline (P < 0.05). Furthermore, negative correlations were shown between the concentrations of iNOS, TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-6, and the prognosis of CAG (P < 0.05), while positive correlations were observed between the contents of IL-4 and IL-10, and prognosis of CAG (P < 0.05). Conclusion These above results indicated that H. pylori infection-induced disorders of M1/M2 macrophage polarization could affect the prognosis of CAG.

Front Cell Dev Biol 2023; 11:1136096. [PMID: 37363723 PMCID: PMC10289286 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2023.1136096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection is an important factor in the occurrence of human gastric diseases, but its pathogenic mechanism is not clear. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent reversible methylation modification in mammalian RNA and it plays a crucial role in controlling many biological processes. However, there are no studies reported that whether H. pylori infection impacts the m6A methylation of stomach. In this study, we measured the overall level changes of m6A methylation of RNA under H. pylori infection through in vitro and in vivo experiment. Methods: The total quantity of m6A was quantified in gastric tissues of clinical patients and C57 mice with H. pylori infection, as well as acute infection model [H. pylori and GES-1 cells were cocultured for 48 h at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) from of 10:1 to 50:1]. Furthermore, we performed m6A methylation sequencing and RNA-sequencing on the cell model and RNA-sequencing on animal model. Results: Quantitative detection of RNA methylation showed that H. pylori infection group had higher m6A modification level. M6A methylation sequencing identified 2,107 significantly changed m6A methylation peaks, including 1,565 upregulated peaks and 542 downregulated peaks. A total of 2,487 mRNA was upregulated and 1,029 mRNA was downregulated. According to the comprehensive analysis of MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq, we identified 200 hypermethylation and upregulation, 129 hypermethylation but downregulation, 19 hypomethylation and downregulation and 106 hypomethylation but upregulation genes. The GO and KEGG pathway analysis of these differential methylation and regulatory genes revealed a wide range of biological functions. Moreover, combining with mice RNA-seq results, qRT- PCR showed that m6A regulators, METTL3, WTAP, FTO and ALKBH5, has significant difference; Two key genes, PTPN14 and ADAMTS1, had significant difference by qRT- PCR. Conclusion: These findings provide a basis for further investigation of the role of m6A methylation modification in H. pylori-associated gastritis.

Abstract
Due to modern medical advancements, greater proportions of the population will continue to age with longer life spans. Increased life span, however, does not always correlate with improved health span, and may result in an increase in aging-related diseases and disorders. These diseases are often attributed to cellular senescence, in which cells become disengaged from the cell cycle and inert to cell death. These cells are characterized by a proinflammatory secretome. The proinflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype, although part of a natural function intended to prevent further DNA damage, creates a microenvironment suited to tumor progression. This microenvironment is most evident in the gastrointestinal tract (GI), where a combination of bacterial infections, senescent cells, and inflammatory proteins can lead to oncogenesis. Thus, it is important to find potential senescence biomarkers as targets of novel therapies for GI diseases and disorders including cancers. However, finding therapeutic targets in the GI microenvironment to reduce the risk of GI tumor onset may also be of value. This review summarizes the effects of cellular senescence on GI aging, inflammation, and cancers, and aims to improve our understanding of these processes with a goal of enhancing future therapy.

Abstract
One area of cancer research is the interaction between cancer cells and immune cells, in which chemokines play a vital role. Despite this, a comprehensive summary of the involvement of C-X-C motif ligand 1 (CXCL1) chemokine (also known as growth-regulated gene-α (GRO-α), melanoma growth-stimulatory activity (MGSA)) in cancer processes is lacking. To address this gap, this review provides a detailed analysis of CXCL1's role in gastrointestinal cancers, including head and neck cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)), cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma), and colorectal cancer (colon cancer and rectal cancer). This paper presents the impact of CXCL1 on various molecular cancer processes, such as cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, lymph node metastasis, angiogenesis, recruitment to the tumor microenvironment, and its effect on immune system cells, such as tumor-associated neutrophils (TAN), regulatory T (Treg) cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and macrophages. Furthermore, this review discusses the association of CXCL1 with clinical aspects of gastrointestinal cancers, including its correlation with tumor size, cancer grade, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, and patient prognosis. This paper concludes by exploring CXCL1's potential as a therapeutic target in anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Chronic gastritis (CG) and osteoporosis (OP) are common and occult diseases in the elderly and the relationship of these two diseases have been increasingly exposed. We aimed to explore the clinical characteristics and shared mechanisms of CG patients combined with OP. In the cross-sectional study, all participants were selected from BEYOND study. The CG patients were included and classified into two groups, namely OP group and non-OP group. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression methods were used to evaluate the influencing factors. Furthermore, CG and OP-related genes were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the GEO2R tool and the Venny platform. Protein-protein interaction information was obtained by inputting the intersection targets into the STRING database. The PPI network was constructed by Cytoscape v3.6.0 software again, and the key genes were screened out according to the degree value. Gene function enrichment of DEGs was performed by Webgestalt online tool. One hundred and thirty CG patients were finally included in this study. Univariate correlation analysis showed that age, gender, BMI and coffee were the potential influencing factors for the comorbidity (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression model found that smoking history, serum PTH and serum β-CTX were positively correlated with OP in CG patients, while serum P1NP and eating fruit had an negative relationship with OP in CG patients. In studies of the shared mechanisms, a total of 76 intersection genes were identified between CG and OP, including CD163, CD14, CCR1, CYBB, CXCL10, SIGLEC1, LILRB2, IGSF6, MS4A6A and CCL8 as the core genes. The biological processes closely related to the occurrence and development of CG and OP mainly involved Ferroptosis, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, Legionellosis and Chemokine signaling pathway. Our study firstly identified the possible associated factors with OP in the patients with CG, and mined the core genes and related pathways that could be used as biomarkers or potential therapeutic targets to reveal the shared mechanisms.

Animal Age Affects the Gut Microbiota and Immune System in Captive Koalas ( Phascolarctos cinereus). Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0410122.

Abstract
Gut microbiota is one of the major elements in the control of host health. However, the composition of gut microbiota in koalas has rarely been investigated. Here, we performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing to determine the individual and environmental determinants of gut microbiota diversity and function in 35 fecal samples collected from captive koalas. Meanwhile, blood immune-related cytokine levels were examined by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR to initially explore the relationship between the gut microbiota and the immune system in koalas. The relative abundance of many bacteria, such as Lonepinella koalarum, varies at different ages in koalas and decreases with age. Conversely, Ruminococcus flavefaciens increases with age. Moreover, bacterial pathways involved in lipid metabolism, the biosynthesis of other secondary metabolites, and infectious disease show a significant correlation with age. Age affects the relationship between the microbiota and the host immune system. Among them, the gut microbiota of subadult and aged koalas was closely correlated with CD8β and CD4, whereas adult koalas were correlated with CLEC4E. We also found that sex, reproductive status, and living environment have little impact on the koala gut microbiota and immune system. These results shed suggest age is a key factor affecting gut microbiota and immunity in captive koalas and thus provide new insight into its role in host development and the host immune system. IMPORTANCE Although we have a preliminary understanding of the gut microbiota of koalas, we lack insight into which factors potentially impact captive koalas. This study creates the largest koala gut microbiota data set in China to date and describes several factors that may affect gut microbiota and the immune system in captive koalas, highlighting that age may be a key factor affecting captive koalas. Moreover, this study is the first to characterize the correlation between gut microbiota and cytokines in koalas. Better treatment strategies for infectious disorders may be possible if we can better understand the interactions between the immune system and the microbiota.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a pathological stage in the Correa's cascade, whereby Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is the primary cause. Cellular senescence is an inducing factor for cancer occurrence and cellular senescence is an obvious phenomenon in gastric mucosal tissues of H. pylori-positive CAG patients. METHODS In this review, we collated the information on cellular senescence and H. pylori-positive CAG. RESULTS At present, only a few studies have observed the effect of cellular senescence on precancerous lesions. In combination with the latest research, this review has collated the information on cellular senescence and H. pylori-positive CAG from four aspects- telomere shortening, DNA methylation, increased reacive oxygen species (ROS) production, and failure of autophagy. CONCLUSION This is expected to be helpful for exploring the relevant mechanisms underlying inflammatory cancerous transformation and formulating appropriate treatment strategies.

Amalia R, Panenggak NSR, Doohan D, Rezkitha YAA, Waskito LA, Syam AF, Lubis M, Yamaoka Y, Miftahussurur M. A comprehensive evaluation of an animal model for Helicobacter pylori-associated stomach cancer: Fact and controversy. Helicobacter 2023; 28:e12943. [PMID: 36627714 DOI: 10.1111/hel.12943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
Even though Helicobacter pylori infection was the most causative factor of gastric cancer, numerous in vivo studies failed to induce gastric cancer using H. pylori infection only. The utilization of established animal studies in cancer research is crucial as they aim to investigate the coincidental association between suspected oncogenes and pathogenesis as well as generate models for the development and testing of potential treatments. The methods to establish gastric cancer using infected animal models remain limited, diverse in methods, and showed different results. This study investigates the differences in animal models, which highlight different pathological results in gaster by literature research. Electronic databases searched were performed in PubMed, Science Direct, and Cochrane, without a period filter. A total of 135 articles were used in this study after a full-text assessment was conducted. The most frequent animal models used for gastric cancer were Mice, while Mongolian gerbils and Transgenic mice were the most susceptible model for gastric cancer associated with H. pylori infection. Additionally, transgenic mice showed that the susceptibility to gastric cancer progression was due to genetic and epigenetic factors. These studies showed that in Mongolian gerbil models, H. pylori could function as a single agent to trigger stomach cancer. However, most gastric cancer susceptibilities were not solely relying on H. pylori infection, and numerous factors are involved in cancer progression. Further study using Mongolian gerbils and Transgenic mice is crucial to conduct and establish the best models for gastric cancer associated H. pylori.

Cancer Sci 2022; 113:4135-4150. [PMID: 36114757 DOI: 10.1111/cas.15581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2022] [Revised: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are associated with various types of cancer. However, the precise roles of many lncRNAs in tumor progression remain unclear. In this study, we found that the expression of the lncRNA TP53TG1 was downregulated in gastric cancer (GC) and it functioned as a tumor suppressor. In addition, low TP53TG1 expression was significantly associated with poor survival in patients with GC. TP53TG1 inhibited the proliferation, metastasis, and cell cycle progression of GC cells, while it promoted their apoptosis. m6A modification sites are highly abundant on TP53TG1, and demethylase ALKBH5 reduces TP53TG1 stability and downregulates its expression. TP53TG1 interacts with cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) and triggers its ubiquitination-mediated degradation, resulting in the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway. These results suggest that TP53TG1 plays an important role in inhibiting the progression of GC and provides a crucial target for GC treatment.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is chronic and etiologically linked to gastric cancer (GC) derived from gastric epithelium. The potential mechanism is complex, covering chronic inflammation, epithelial senescence, NF-κB activation, the cytotoxin-associated gene A protein translocation, and related abnormal signaling pathways. In clinical practice, the test-and-treat strategy, endoscopy-based strategy, and (family-based) screen-and-treat strategy are recommended to detect H. pylori and prevent GC. It has been demonstrated that the decreasing annual incidence of GC is largely attributable to the management of H. pylori. This study reviews the current clinical practice of H. pylori on the detection and eradication, alternative treatment strategies, and related problems and advances, and hopes to contribute to the better clinical management of H. pylori.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus contributes to intervertebral disc degeneration. Nucleus pulposus cell senescence plays an important role in intervertebral disc degeneration. However, the effects of hyperglycemia on human nucleus pulposus cells and the underlying process remains poorly understood. In the current study, we evaluated the effects of high glucose levels on human nucleus pulposus cell senescence in vitro and the effects of hyperglycemia on rat nucleus pulposus aging in vivo. Human nucleus pulposus cells were cultured in high-glucose medium (200 mM glucose) for 48 h. Senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining, western blot analysis, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were performed to evaluate human nucleus pulposus cell senescence. Flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to evaluate reactive oxygen species and advanced glycation end-product levels. Transcriptome sequencing followed by bioinformatics analysis was used to understand the abnormal biological processes of nucleus pulposus cells cultured in high-glucose medium. Diabetes mellitus rat models were established and histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis was conducted to examine nucleus pulposus tissue senescence in vivo. Exposure to a high glucose concentration promoted human nucleus pulposus cell senescence and increased the senescence-related secretion phenotype in human nucleus pulposus cells in vitro and in rat nucleus pulposus tissue in vivo. Bioinformatics analysis showed that hub genes were involved in nucleus pulposus cell cycle activities and cell senescence. The results suggest that appropriate blood glucose control may be key to preventing intervertebral disc degeneration in diabetic patients.

ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2022; 10:932. [PMID: 36172111 PMCID: PMC9511200 DOI: 10.21037/atm-22-3749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022]
Abstract
Background Jian-Pi-Yi-Qi-Fang (JPYQF) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbal formula for treating chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) in the clinic; however, its related mechanism remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential mechanisms of JPYQF in treating CAG by examining proteins and genes related to the proliferation and differentiation of gastric stem cells and Wnt signaling. Methods A CAG model was established in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats which were induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and ranitidine. We randomly divided 25 CAG rats into 5 groups: the model group, positive drug group, low-dose group of JPYQF (JPYQF-L), middle-dose group of JPYQF (JPYQF-M), and high-dose group of JPYQF (JPYQF-H), with 5 rats of the same age classified into the control group. The body weight of rats was measured and their gastric morphology was visually assessed. Furthermore, pathological analysis of rat gastric tissue was performed. The expression levels of proteins and genes associated with the proliferation and differentiation of gastric stem cells and Wnt signaling were measured via immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Results Compared with the model group, treatment with JPYQF increased the body weight of the rats, and relieved the gastric atrophy and inflammation. Compared with the control group, the protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of gastric stem cell proliferation and differentiation markers Lgr5, Sox2, Ki67, PCNA, Muc5AC, and Wnt signaling initiator Wnt3A and enhancer R-spondin-1 (Rspo1) were decreased in the model group. Treatment with JPYQF increased the protein and mRNA expression levels of these markers. Conclusions The Wnt signaling of CAG rats may be in a low activation state, which inhibits the proliferation and differentiation of gastric stem cells, so that gland cells cannot be replenished in time to repair the damaged gastric mucosa. The TCM formula JPYQF could enhance Wnt signaling to promote the restricted proliferation and normal differentiation of gastric stem cells, thereby improving gastric mucosal atrophy in CAG rats, which provides a novel and robust theoretical basis for CAG treatment.

Abstract
CXCL1 is a CXC chemokine, CXCR2 ligand and chemotactic factor for neutrophils. In this paper, we present a review of the role of the chemokine CXCL1 in physiology and in selected major non-cancer diseases of the oral cavity and abdominal organs (gingiva, salivary glands, stomach, liver, pancreas, intestines, and kidneys). We focus on the importance of CXCL1 on implantation and placentation as well as on human pluripotent stem cells. We also show the significance of CXCL1 in selected diseases of the abdominal organs, including the gastrointestinal tract and oral cavity (periodontal diseases, periodontitis, Sjögren syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, diabetes, liver cirrhosis, alcoholic liver disease (ALD), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), HBV and HCV infection, liver ischemia and reperfusion injury, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), obesity and overweight, kidney transplantation and ischemic-reperfusion injury, endometriosis and adenomyosis).

Abstract
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) accumulation in multiple tumor is associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) resistance. However, mechanisms of MDSCs in ICIs resistance of gastric cancer (GC) have not been thoroughly explored. In this study, we found that the PMN-MDSCs frequency rather than the M-MDSCs frequency was correlated with the survival of GC patients and CXCL1 induced PMN-MDSCs accumulation in GC. S100A8/A9 heterodimer, a hallmark of MDSCs, upregulated the CXCL1 expression in GC cells through the TLR4/p38 MAPK/NF-κB pathway. Notably, PMN-MDSCs exerted immunosuppressive effect through S100A8/A9. Mechanically, S100A8/A9 led to CD8+ T cells exhaustion including inhibiting CD8+ T cells glycolysis, proliferation and TNF-α and IFN-γ production, which was dependent on TLR4/AKT/mTOR pathway. In tumor-bearing mice, the CXCR2 antagonist SB225002 decreased PMN-MDSCs accumulation, increased CD8+ T cells infiltration in GC and further enhanced anti-tumor efficacy of anti-PD-1. Taken together, our study identified that CXCL1 induced PMN-MDSCs accumulation in GC, and unveiled how PMN-MDSCs promoted CD8+ T cells exhaustion, which may provide a potential therapeutic strategy for GC.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to regulate diverse tumorigenic processes. However, little is known about long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 00893 (LINC00893) and its role in gastric cancer (GC). Herein we investigated its biological functions and molecular mechanism in GC. LINC00893 was decreased in GC tissues but significantly elevated in AGS cells after treatment with Nutlin-3. In GC patients, it was found that low expression of LINC00893 was correlated with tumor growth, metastasis and poor survival. Functionally, overexpression of LINC00893 suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of GC cells. Mechanistically, LINC00893 regulated the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins by binding to RNA binding fox-1 homolog 2 (RBFOX2) and promoting its ubiquitin-mediated degradation, thus suppressing the EMT and related functions of GC. In addition, the transcription factor p53 can regulate the expression of LINC00893 in an indirect way. Taken together, these results suggested that LINC00893 regulated by p53 repressed GC proliferation, migration and invasion by functioning as a binding site for RBFOX2 to regulate its stability and the expression of EMT-related proteins. LINC00893 acts as a tumor-inhibiting lncRNA that is induced by p53 in GC and regulates EMT by binding to RBFOX2, thus providing a novel experimental basis for the clinical treatment of GC.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in half of patients with septic shock, resulting in unacceptably high mortality. However, effective preventive treatments are still lacking. We hypothesized that pretreatment with lipoxin A4 (LXA4), known to promote inflammation resolution, may attenuate septic AKI via blocking crosstalk between inflammation and cellular senescence. In this study, rats developed AKI following cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), as evidenced by a dynamic increase in serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, urinary kidney injury molecule-1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and pathological injury, accompanied by increased levels of inflammation (IL-6, TNF-α, and HMGB1) and tubular cell senescence. While, on the one hand, inhibition of senescence with rapamycin restored renal function and attenuated septic inflammatory response, on the other hand, LXA4 administration inhibited renal inflammation and tubular epithelial cell senescence after CLP. Ultimately, pretreatment with LXA4 significantly restored renal function and increased the survival rate of rats after CLP. Furthermore, LXA4 inhibited NF-κB-mediated inflammatory response and the p53/p21 senescence pathway in vivo and in vitro. However, the effect was reversed by PPAR-γ siRNA and antagonist. These results indicated that LXA4 exerted its renoprotective effects by blocking the crosstalk between inflammation and premature senescence in a PPAR-γ-dependent manner. Our findings also suggested that premature senescence plays a critical role in septic AKI and that inhibition of the crosstalk between inflammation and premature senescence may represent a new and major mechanism through which LXA4 attenuates septic AKI.
