Abstract
Hyperglycemia leads to microvascular lesions in various tissues. In diabetic nephropathy-DN, alterations in usual markers reflect an already installed disease. The study of new biomarkers for the early detection of diabetic complications can bring new prevention perspectives. Rats were divided into diabetic adult-DMA-or elderly-DME and control sham adult-CSA-or control sham elderly-CSE. Blood and urine samples were collected for biochemical analysis. Bulbar region, cardiac, hepatic and renal tissues were collected for target gene expression studies. As result, DMA showed decreased TNFR1, MCT1 and CD147 expression in the bulbar region, TNFR1 in the heart, VEGFA and CD147 in the kidney and TNFR1 in blood. Positive correlations were found between TNFR1 and MCT1 in the bulbar region and HbA1c and plasma creatinine, respectively. DME showed positive correlation in the bulbar region between TNFR1 and glycemia, in addition to negative correlations between CD147 in the heart versus glycemia and urea. We concluded that the initial hyperglycemic stimulus already promotes changes in the expression of genes involved in the inflammatory and metabolic pathways, and aging alters this profile. These changes prior to the onset of diseases such as DN, show that they have potential for early biomarkers studies.

Extracellular Vesicles—A New Potential Player in the Immunology of Renal Cell Carcinoma. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12050772. [PMID: 35629194 PMCID: PMC9144962 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12050772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has doubled in the developed world within the last fifty years, and now it is responsible for 2–3% of diagnosed cancers. The delay in diagnosis and the not fully understood pathogenesis are the main challenges that have to be overcome. It seems that extracellular vesicles (EVs) are one of the key players in tumor development since they ensure a proper microenvironment for the tumor cells. The stimulation of angiogenesis and immunosuppression is mediated by molecules contained in EVs. It was shown that EVs derived from cancer cells can inhibit T cell proliferation, natural killer lymphocyte activation, and dendritic cell maturation by this mechanism. Moreover, EVs may be a biomarker for the response to anti-cancer treatment. In this review, we sum up the knowledge about the role of EVs in RCC pathogenesis and show their future perspectives in this field.

A lectin-based glycomic approach identifies FUT8 as a driver of radioresistance in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Cell Oncol (Dordr) 2020; 43:695-707. [PMID: 32474852 DOI: 10.1007/s13402-020-00517-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2019] [Revised: 03/30/2020] [Accepted: 04/03/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Radio-resistance is recognized as a main factor in the failure of radiotherapy in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Aberrant cell surface glycosylation has been reported to correlate with radio-resistance in different kinds of tumours. However, glycomic alterations and the corresponding enzymes associated with ESCC radio-resistance have not yet been defined. METHODS Two radioresistant cell lines, EC109R and TE-1R, were established from parental ESCC cell lines EC109 and TE-1 by fractionated irradiation. A lectin microarray was used to screen for altered glycan patterns. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was employed to identify differentially expressed glycosyltransferases. Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation and flow cytometry assays were used to measure cell viability and radiosensitivity. Expression of glycosyltransferase in ESCC tissues was assessed by immunohistochemistry. In vivo radiosensitivity was analysed using a nude mouse xenograft model. Downstream effectors of the enzyme were verified using a lectin-based pull-down assay combined with mass spectrometry. RESULTS We found that EC109R and TE-1R cells were more resistant to irradiation than the parental EC109 and TE-1 cells. Using lectin microarrays combined with RNA sequencing, we found that α1, 6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8) was overexpressed in the radioresistant ESCC cell lines. Both gain- and loss-of-function studies confirmed that FUT8 regulates the sensitivity of ESCC cells to irradiation. Importantly, we found that high FUT8 expression was positively linked to radio-resistance and a poor prognosis in ESCC patients who received radiation therapy. Moreover, FUT8 inhibition suppressed the growth and formation of xenograft tumours in nude mice after irradiation. Using a lectin-based pull-down assay and mass spectrometry, we found that CD147 could be glycosylated by FUT8. As expected, inhibition of CD147 partly reversed FUT8-induced radio-resistance in ESCC cells. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that FUT8 functions as a driver of radio-resistance in ESCC by targeting CD147. Therefore, FUT8 may serve as a marker for predicting the response to radiation therapy in patients with ESCC.

Curr Mol Med 2019; 19:54-75. [PMID: 30854966 DOI: 10.2174/1566524019666190308163315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2018] [Revised: 01/24/2019] [Accepted: 02/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Objective:The relationship between OCT4 and clinicopathological features in lung cancer is shown to be controversial in recent publications. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to quantitatively investigate the prognostic and clinicopathological characteristics of OCT4 in lung cancer.Methods:A comprehensive literature search of the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, WOS, CNKI and Wanfang databases was performed to identify studies. Correlations between OCT4 expression and survival outcomes or clinicopathological features were analyzed using meta-analysis methods.Results:Twenty-one studies with 2523 patients were included. High OCT4 expression showed a poorer overall survival (OS) (univariate: HR= 2.00, 95% CI = (1.68, 2.39), p<0.0001; multivariate: HR= 2.43, 95% CI = (1.67, 3.55), p<0.0001) and median overall survival (MSR = 0.51, 95% CI = (0.44, 0.58), p < 0.0001), disease-free survival (DFS) (HR= 2.18, 95% CI = (1.30, 3.67), p = 0.003) and poorer disease-specific survival (DSS) (HR= 2.23, 95% CI = (1.21, 4.11), p = 0.010). Furthermore, high OCT4 expression was found to be related with lower 5 year disease-specific survival rate (OR= 0.24, 95% CI = (0.14, 0.41), p<0.0001) and 10 year overall survival rate (OR= 0.22, 95% CI = (0.12, 0.40), p=0.0001). Additionally, OCT4-high expression was also strongly associated with higher clinical TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, tumor distant metastasis, higher histopathologic grade, but not related with gender, smoking status, tumor size and histologic type of lung cancer.Conclusion:OCT4 over-expression in lung cancer was strongly related to poorer clinicopathological features and worse survival outcomes, which suggests that OCT4 could be a valuable prognostic marker in lung cancer.

CD147 as a novel biomarker for predicting the prognosis and clinicopathological features of bladder cancer: a meta-analysis. Oncotarget 2017; 8:62573-62588. [PMID: 28977970 PMCID: PMC5617530 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.19257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2016] [Accepted: 04/19/2017] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To assess the prognostic and clinicopathological characteristics of CD147 in human bladder cancer. Methods Studies on CD147 expression in bladder cancer were retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the WanFang databases. Outcomes were pooled with meta-analyzing softwares RevMan 5.3 and STATA 14.0. Results Twenty-four studies with 25 datasets demonstrated that CD147 expression was higher in bladder cancer than in non-cancer tissues (OR=43.64, P<0.00001). Moreover, this increase was associated with more advanced clinical stages (OR=73.89, P<0.0001), deeper invasion (OR=3.22, P<0.00001), lower histological differentiation (OR=4.54, P=0.0005), poorer overall survival (univariate analysis, HR=2.63, P<0.00001; multivariate analysis, HR=1.86, P=0.00036), disease specific survival (univariate analysis, HR=1.65, P=0.002), disease recurrence-free survival (univariate analysis, HR=2.78, P=0.001; multivariate analysis, HR=5.51, P=0.017), rate of recurrence (OR=1.91, P=0.0006), invasive depth (pT2∼T4 vs. pTa∼T1; OR=3.22, P<0.00001), and histological differentiation (low versus moderate-to-high; OR=4.54, P=0.0005). No difference was found among disease specific survival in multivariate analysis (P=0.067), lymph node metastasis (P=0.12), and sex (P=0.15). Conclusion CD147 could be a biomarker for early diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of bladder cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prognostic significance of CD147 expression in esophageal cancer patients remains controversial. Using a meta-analysis, we investigated the prognostic and clinicopathologic characteristics of CD147 in esophageal cancer. METHODS A comprehensive literature search of the PubMed (1966-2016), EMBASE (1980-2016), Cochrane Library (1996-2016), Web of Science (1945-2016), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (1982-2016), and Wanfang databases (1988-2016) was performed to identify studies of all esophageal cancer subtypes. Correlations between CD147 expression and survival outcomes and clinicopathological features were analyzed using meta-analysis methods. RESULTS Seventeen studies were included. High CD147 expression reduced the 3-year survival rate (OR = 3.26, 95% CI = (1.53, 6.93), p = 0.02) and 5-year survival rate(OR = 4.35, 95% CI = (2.13, 8.90), p < 0.0001). High CD147 expression reduced overall survival in esophageal cancer (HR = 1.60, 95% CI = (1.19, 2.15), p = 0.02). Additionally, higher CD147 expression was detected in esophageal cancer tissues than noncancerous tissues (OR = 9.45, 95% CI = (5.39, 16.59), p < 0.00001), normal tissues (OR = 12.73, 95% CI = (3.49, 46.46), p = 0.0001), para-carcinoma tissues (OR = 12.80, 95% CI = (6.57, 24.92), p < 0.00001), and hyperplastic tissues (OR = 3.27, 95% CI = (1.47, 7.29), p = 0.004). CD147 expression was associated with TNM stage (OR = 3.66, 95% CI = (2.20, 6.09), p < 0.00001), tumor depth (OR = 7.97, 95% CI = (4.13, 15.38), p < 0.00001), and lymph node status (OR = 5.14, 95% CI = (2.03,13.01), p = 0.0005), but not with tumor differentiation, age, or sex. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis suggests that CD147 is an efficient prognostic factor in esophageal cancer. High CD147 expression in patients with esophageal cancer was associated with worse survival outcomes and common clinicopathological indicators of poor prognosis.
