Abstract
In forensic science, glyphosate (GLYP) and glufosinate (GLUF), a class of non-selective broad-spectrum herbicides, have been frequently encountered in many fatal poisoning and suicide cases due to their widespread availability. Therefore, it is essential to develop an effective method for detecting these compounds. Some conventional methods, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), have been reported to detect these compounds. However, these methods are not ideal for their time-consuming and non-sensitive feature. Herein, probe electrospray ionization (PESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), a fast and sensitive technique, was applied for the determination of GLYP and GLUF in human blood, which can obtain analytical results within 0.5 min without derivatization and chromatographic separation. After protein precipitation of blood samples, the supernatant was mixed with isopropanol and ultra-pure water (1:1 v/v). Then, 8 μL of the mixture was introduced into the plastic sample plate for PESI-MS/MS analysis. The limits of detection (LODs) of the method were 0.50 μg/mL and 0.25 μg/mL for two analytes, and the limits of quantitation (LOQs) were both 1.00 μg/mL, which are higher than the concentration of reported poisoning and fatal cases. In the linear range of 1-500 μg/mL, the regression coefficients (r2) for GLYP and GLUF were over 0.99. The matrix effects ranged from 94.8 % to 119.5 %, and the biases were below 4.3 %. The recoveries ranged between 84.8 % and 107.4 %, and the biases were below 7.6 %. Meanwhile, the method was effectively utilized to detect and quantify the blood, urine, and other samples. Consequently, the results suggest that PESI-MS/MS is a straightforward, fast, and sensitive method for detecting GLUF and GLYP in forensics. In the future, PESI-MS/MS will become an indispensable technique for polar substances in grassroots units of public security where rapid detection is essential.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has attracted attention due to its poor prognosis and limited treatment options. The mechanisms underlying the association between circular RNAs (circRNAs) and the occurrence and development of TNBC remain unclear. CircZCCHC2 is observed to be upregulated in TNBC cells, tissues, and plasma exosomes. Knockdown of circZCCHC2 inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of TNBC cells in vitro and in vivo. Pirarubicin (THP) treatment downregulated circZCCHC2, and circZCCHC2 affected the sensitivity to THP. CircZCCHC2/miR-1200/translocated promoter region, the nuclear basket protein (TPR) pathway was cascaded and verified. It is demonstrated that circZCCHC2 plays a crucial role in the malignant progression of TNBC via the miR-1200/TPR axis, thereby activating the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway. The present results indicate that circZCCHC2 has the potential to serve as a novel prognostic biomarker for TNBC.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between congenital hypothyroidism (CH) and the adverse outcomes during hospitalization in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI). Methods: This prospective, multicenter observational cohort study was conducted based on the data from the Sino-northern Neonatal Network (SNN). Data of 5 818 VLBWI with birth weight <1 500 g and gestational age between 24-<37 weeks that were admitted to the 37 neonatal intensive care units from January 1st, 2019 to December 31st, 2022 were collected and analyzed. Thyroid function was first screened at 7 to 10 days after birth, followed by weekly tests within the first 4 weeks, and retested at 36 weeks of corrected gestational age or before discharge. The VLBWI were assigned to the CH group or non-CH group. Chi-square test, Fisher exact probability method, Wilcoxon rank sum test, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between CH and poor prognosis during hospitalization in VLBWI. Results: A total of 5 818 eligible VLBWI were enrolled, with 2 982 (51.3%) males and the gestational age of 30 (29, 31) weeks. The incidence of CH was 5.5% (319 VLBWI). Among the CH group, only 121 VLBWI (37.9%) were diagnosed at the first screening. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CH was associated with increased incidence of extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) (OR=1.31(1.04-1.64), P<0.05) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) of stage Ⅲ and above (OR=1.74(1.11-2.75), P<0.05). However, multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed no significant correlation between CH and EUGR, moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia, grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ intraventricular hemorrhage, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis in stage Ⅱ or above, and ROP in stage Ⅲ or above (OR=1.04 (0.81-1.33), 0.79 (0.54-1.15), 1.15 (0.58-2.26), 1.43 (0.81-2.53), 1.12 (0.70-1.80), all P>0.05). Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between CH and in-hospital adverse outcomes, possibly due to timely diagnosis and active replacement therapy.

Abstract
Pirarubicin (THP) is a widely used antitumor agent in clinical practice, but its reduced sensitivity during treatment has limited its use. The aim of this study was to investigate the role and mechanism of LncRNA Miat knockdown in improving THP sensitivity. We assessed the role of Miat overexpression/knockdown on THP-mediated 4T1 anticancer activity by CCK8, TUNEL, flow cytometry, wound healing assay, Transwell, Ca2+ , real time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot. The results showed that Miat expression was higher in 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells than in HC11 mouse mammary epithelial cells, while THP decreased Miat expression in 4T1. Miat knockdown in combination with further reduced cell viability, promoted apoptosis and inhibited migration compared to THP alone. This may be related to the reduction of calcium ions in 4T1. In conclusion, Miat knockdown enhanced the sensitivity of THP to 4T1 by inhibiting calcium channels.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pirarubicin (THP) is an antitumour drug widely used in clinical practice, but its cardiotoxicity limits its application. THP cardiotoxicity must be treated as soon as possible. There is an urgent need to find drugs that alleviate THP cardiotoxicity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of Astaxanthin (AST) on THP-induced cardiomyocytes. METHODS Rat cardiomyocytes H9c2 were induced with THP. The effects of AST on THP-induced H9c2 and its mechanism were investigated by CCK8, reactive oxygen species assay, tunnel assay, flow cytometry, RT-qPCR, and Western blot. RESULTS AST increased cell viability, inhibited apoptosis and accelerated cell cycle progression, reduced oxidative damage and inflammatory response in THP-induced H9c2; down-regulated miR-494-3p expression, promoted MDM4 expression, inhibited p53 activation, and suppressed apoptosis-related protein expression. Overexpression of MiR-494-3p reversed the above effects of AST. CONCLUSIONS AST can inhibit H9c2 apoptosis induced by THP and attenuate H9c2 damage by THP, which may be achieved by downregulating miR-494-3p, upregulating MDM4, and inhibiting p53.

Abstract
Pirarubicin (THP) is a widely used antitumor drug in clinical practice, but its cardiotoxicity limits its use. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect and mechanism of knockdown of lncRNA Miat in THP-induced cardiotoxicity. The extent of damage to immortalized cardiomyocytes in mice was assessed by CCK8, TUNEL, ROS, Ca2+ , RT-qPCR, and Western blot. The relative levels of Miat in THP-treated cardiomyocytes (HL-1) were measured. The protective effect of Miat on THP-treated HL-1 was assessed. The binding relationship between lncRNA Miat and mmu-miRNA-129-1-3p was verified by a dual luciferase reporter gene assay. The protective role of Miat/miRNA-129-1-3p in THP-induced HL-1 was explored by performing a rescue assay. THP reduced cell viability, induced apoptosis, triggered oxidative stress and calcium overload. Expression of Miat in HL-1 was significantly elevated after THP treatment. Miat knockdown significantly alleviated the cardiotoxicity of THP. MiR-129-1-3p is a direct target of Miat. Knockdown of miR-129-1-3p reversed the protective effect of Miat knockdown on HL-1. Miat knockdown can alleviate THP-induced cardiomyocyte injury by regulating miR-129-1-3p.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pirarubicin (THP) is a widely used antitumor drug in clinical practice, but its cardiotoxicity limits its use. There is an urgent need to find drugs to alleviate the cardiotoxicity of THP. This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of miR-494-3p on THP-induced cardiomyocytes. METHODS THP induced immortalized mouse cardiomyocytes HL-1, silenced or overexpressed miR-494-3p. The effects of miR-494-3p on HL-1 contained in THP were investigated by CCK8, flow cytometry, ROS detection, JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential detection, TUNEL cell apoptosis detection, RT-qPCR, and Western blot. RESULTS miR-494-3p could reduce cell viability, increase oxidative damage, and promote cell apoptosis; at the same time, it inhibited the expression of MDM4, promoted the activation of p53, and promoted the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. MiR-494-3p inhibitors have the opposite effect. CONCLUSION miR-494-3p can aggravate THP damage to HL-1, which may be achieved by downregulating MDM4 and promoting p53. miR-494-3p is one of the important miRNAs in THP-induced cardiotoxicity, which provides theoretical support for its possible use as a therapeutic target for THP-induced cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Benzodiazepines are essential screening targets for common sleeping and sedative drugs used in forensic toxicology. Direct analysis in real-time tandem mass spectrometry was used to rapidly identify 10 benzodiazepines and related metabolites in the blood and urine. The related direct analysis in real-time tandem mass spectrometry parameters were optimized. A liquid-liquid extraction method using ethyl acetate as the extraction solvent was used for sample preparation. The established method was validated and tested on case specimens. The limits of detection of this method ranged from 0.2 to 20 ng/mL and the limits of quantification from 1 to 50 ng/mL. The recoveries ranged from 78.8% to 114%, and the matrix effects were in the range of -21.2% to 17.9%. The precision and repeatability at high and medium concentrations did not exceed 14.6%, and the limit of quantification did not exceed 18.2%, indicating a desirable linear relationship. The established method was used to determine blood and urine specimens from authentic cases, and promising results were obtained.

Abstract
RATIONALE With the continuous renewal of new psychoactive substances (NPS), the abuse of NPS has seriously harmed social security and public safety. The number of deaths from the abuse of NPS is increasing year by year. Therefore, there is an immediate need to develop an effective method for detecting NPS. METHODS Direct analysis in real-time tandem mass spectrometry (DART-MS/MS) was used to detect 11 NPS in blood and urine. The temperature of the ion source was optimized and set to 400°C. The mixture solvent of acetonitrile/methanol (4:1, v/v) was used as the precipitant. SKF-525 (2-(diethylamino)ethyl 2,2-diphenylpentanoate) was selected as the internal standard for quantification. After the pretreatment of the analytes in blood or urine, the supernatant was prepared for instrumental analysis. RESULTS The results indicated that the correlation coefficients (r2 ) of all analytes ranged from 0.99 to 1 in the linear range. The recoveries of 11 analytes at three spiked levels ranged between 83.4% and 110.4% in blood and between 81.7% and 108.5% in urine. The matrix effects of 11 analytes ranged between 79.5% and 109.5% in blood and between 85.0% and 109.4% in urine. The relative standard deviations of intra-day and inter-day precisions and repeatability were lower than 12.4%, 14.1%, and 14.3% in blood and lower than 11.4%, 13.9%, and 14.3% in urine, respectively. CONCLUSION The method established for the detection of 11 NPS could meet the needs for the rapid screening of NPS samples. The DART-MS/MS method has the advantages of being efficient, fast, and green. Therefore, it may become a promising technology for the detection of NPS in the future.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been found to be involved in cancer progression and chemotherapy sensitivity. However, the biological function of circRNAs in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and its effect on the sensitivity to pirarubicin (THP) chemotherapy are still unclear. CircEGFR (hsa_circ_0080220) was screened and verified by bioinformatics analysis, proving it was highly expressed in TNBC cell lines, patient tissues, and plasma exosomes, and was associated with poor prognosis of patients. The expression level of circEGFR in patient tissue has potential diagnostic value to distinguish TNBC tissue from normal breast tissue. In vitro studies confirmed that overexpression of circEGFR promoted the proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT of TNBC cells and decreased the sensitivity of THP treatment while silencing circEGFR showed the opposite effect. The circEGFR/miR-1299/EGFR pathway was cascaded and verified. CircEGFR regulated malignant progression of TNBC by regulating EGFR via sponging miR-1299. THP can inhibit the malignant phenotype of MDA-MB-231 cells by downregulating the expression of circEGFR. In vivo studies confirmed that overexpression of circEGFR can promote tumor growth and EMT and reduce tumor sensitivity to THP treatment. Silencing circEGFR inhibited the malignant progression of the tumor. These results revealed circEGFR is a promising biomarker for TNBC diagnosis, therapeutic and prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The altered long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA) and mRNA expression in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) after pirarubicin (THP) treatment can be a critical factor in the development of tumor. Here, we identify a set of lncRNA, circRNA, and mRNA that can reveal the molecular target and molecular mechanism of THP, and can be used to predict the prognostic characteristics of TNBC. METHODS Affymetrix GeneChip sequencing was performed to determine whether lncRNA, circRNA, and mRNA were changed in MDA-MB-231 cells after THP treatment, and qRT-PCR was used to verify the accuracy of GeneChip results. Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the differentially expressed (DE) lncRNA, circRNA and mRNA, and the co-expression network and ceRNA network were constructed. The STRING database, Kaplan-meier Mapper database, GEPIA database, and Tumor Immunity Estimation Resource were used to screen hub genes with clinical value and important significance. RESULTS THP 5 μM could significantly inhibit proliferation, migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells for 24 h. 1547 DE lncRNAs, 4992 DE circRNAs, and 5777 DE mRNAs were identified. The reliability of the GeneChip was verified by qRT-PCR. An mRNA-lncRNA/circRNA co-expression network was constructed based on the Pearson correlation coefficient. Finally, we established a new ceRNA network, including three circRNAs, five miRNAs, and three mRNAs. The mRNAs are associated with immune infiltration. The mRNAs and miRNAs are significantly associated with survival outcomes in TNBC. CONCLUSION The results reveal the molecular target and mechanism of THP treatment of TNBC. These ceRNA network can be used as molecular targets for the treatment of TNBC patients and as molecular biomarkers to predict patient prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Atherosclerosis (AS) is a cardiovascular disease that has become a major threat to public health worldwide. This study aims to elucidate the effect and mechanism of icariin (ICA) in treating atherosclerosis. METHODS ApoE-/- mouse AS modeling, ELISA, and hematoxylin-eosin staining were conducted to explore whether icariin has a therapeutic effect on AS. The microRNA (miRNA) chips for ICA treatment of ApoE-/- AS mice were developed; in silico analyses were performed, and signaling pathways were identified. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) was used to induce human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (HAVSMCs) to build an in vitro AS cell model. Moreover, miR-205-5p was silenced. Finally, cell viability was detected by MTT assay, cell apoptosis by flow cytometry and Western blot, and cell migration by the scratch test. RESULTS ICA could reduce lipid accumulation in the blood vessels of mice and plaque formation to treat AS. ICA promoted apoptosis and inhibited cell migration of HAVSMCs induced by ox-LDL. Moreover, cell proliferation and migration were inhibited via ICA, which was restored by miR-205-5p silencing. CONCLUSION ICA can alleviate AS and inhibit the proliferation and migration of HAVSMCs induced by ox-LDL, potentially mediated by the upregulation of miR-205-5p.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most fatal malignant tumors of the digestive system. Many patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage and lose eligibility for surgery. Moreover, there are few effective methods for treating pancreatic ductal cell carcinoma. Increasing attention has been given to microRNAs (miRNAs) and their regulatory roles in tumor progression. In this study, we investigated the effects of exosomes extracted from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUCMSCs) carrying hsa-miRNA-128-3p on pancreatic cancer cells. METHODS Based on existing experimental and database information, we selected Galectin-3, which is associated with pancreatic cancer, and the corresponding upstream hsa-miRNA-128-3p. We extracted HUCMSCs from a fresh umbilical cord, hsa-miRNA-128-3p was transfected into HUCMSCs, and exosomes containing hsa-miRNA-128-3p were extracted and collected. The effect of exosomes rich in hsa-miRNA-128-3p on pancreatic cancer cells was analyzed. RESULTS The expression of Galectin-3 in normal pancreatic duct epithelial cells was significantly lower than that in PDAC cell lines. We successfully extracted HUCMSCs from the umbilical cord and transfected hsa-miRNA-128-3p into HUCMSCs. Then we demonstrated that HUCMSC-derived exosomes with hsa-miRNA-128-3p could suppress the proliferation, invasion, and migration of PANC-1 cells in vitro by targeting Galectin-3. CONCLUSION Hsa-miRNA-128-3p could be considered as a potential therapy for pancreatic cancer. We provided a new idea for targeted therapy of PDAC.

Abstract
Treatment with aluminum chloride (AlCl3) suppresses the growth of osteoblastic cells; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying the impact of AlCl3 on cell growth have not been fully characterized. In this study, we observed that exposure of hFOB1.19 cells to AlCl3 arrested cells at G0/G1 phase by inducing p21 expression. Further studies indicated that AlCl3 upregulated the phosphorylation level of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) at serine 727 site (Ser727). By chromatin immunoprecipitation and electrophoretic mobility shift assay, we found that AlCl3 promoted STAT1/DNA binding activity to p21 promoter, thus resulting in the upregulation of p21. Moreover, siRNA-mediated knockdown of STAT1 attenuated p21 level induced by AlCl3. Notably, using hFOB1.19 cells stably expressing dominant-negative STAT1 (Ser727Ala), we demonstrated that phosphorylation of STAT1 at Ser727 site is required for p21-mediated cycle arrest induced by AlCl3. Mechanism investigation indicated that AlCl3 stimulated the phosphorylation of JNK, and administration of JNK inhibitor SP600125 prevented AlCl3-induced G0/G1 arrest through suppressing the phosphorylation of STAT1. Notably, pretreatment with N-acetyl-cysteine, a reactive oxygen species scavenger, conferred a significantly inhibitory effect on AlCl3-mediated activation of JNK/STAT1 signaling pathway. Taken together, our findings provide the molecular mechanism for G0/G1 arrest induced by AlCl3 in osteoblastic cells.

Abstract
Subgroup J Avian leukosis virus (ALV-J) is an important pathogen of poultry tumor diseases. Since its discovery, it has caused significant economic losses to the poultry industry. Thus, the rapid detection of molecular level with strong specificity is particularly important whether poultry are infected with ALV-J. In this study, we designed primers and probe for real-time fluorescent reverse-transcription recombinase-aided amplification assay (RT-RAA) based on the ALV-J gp85 sequence. We had established a real-time fluorescent RT-RAA method and confirmed this system by verifying the specificity and sensitivity of the primers and probe. In addition, repeatability tests and clinical sample regression tests were used for preliminary evaluation of this detection method. The sensitivity of established method was about 101 copies/μL, and the repeatability of the CV of the CT value is 4%, indicating repeatability is good. Moreover, there was no cross-reactivity with NDV, IBV, IBDV, H9N2, MDV, and REV, and other avian leukosis virus subgroups, such as subgroups A, B, C, D, K and E. Importantly, the real-time fluorescent RT-RAA completed the test within 30 min at a constant temperature of 41°C. Forty-two clinical samples with known background were tested, and the test results were coincided with 100%. Overall, these results suggested that the real-time fluorescent RT-RAA developed in this study had strong specificity, high sensitivity, and good feasibility. The method is simple, easy, and portable, that is suitable for clinical and laboratory diagnosis, and provides technical support for the prevention and control of ALV-J.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of daily average temperature on the atteck of allergic rhinitis (AR) by analyzing the changes of the outpatient visits of AR in Lanzhou. Methods: The meteorological and air pollution data of Lanzhou City and the outpatient visits of AR in Departments of Otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery of The First Hospital of Lanzhou University, The Second Hospital of Lanzhou University and Gansu Provincial People's Hospital from 2013 to 2017 were collected to describe the meteorological factors, air pollutants and the outpatient visits of AR. The correlation among the three factors was then analyzed by Spearman rank correlation analysis. Using the distributed lag non-linear model, the relationship between daily average temperature and the number of daily outpatient visits of AR was studied and stratified by gender and age with the long-term trend, seasonal trend and other confounding factors controlled. Results: From 2013 to 2017, the outpatient visits of AR in the above three hospitals reached 20 008 person times. Daily average temperature in Lanzhou showed a non-linear correlation to the outpatient visits of AR, with a certain lag effect. When the daily average temperature was 22 ℃ and the cumulative lag was 21 days (lag 0-21 d), the relative risk (RR) peaked at 4.851 (95%CI: 3.986-5.904). The effect of relatively low temperature (2.3 ℃, P25), relatively high temperature (19.8 ℃, P75) and high temperature (25.5 ℃, P95) on lag 0-21 d were the highest, which were 1.761 (95%CI: 1.375-2.255), 4.299 (95%CI: 3.574-5.171) and 3.656 (95%CI: 3.046-4.389), respectively. According to the stratified analysis, low and relatively low temperature had more significant effect on the outpatient visits of AR among women and people aged 0-14 years. When lag was 0-21 days, the RR value of low temperature for female outpatient visits of AR was 1.433 (95%CI: 1.105-1.860); the RR value of relatively low temperature for female outpatient visits of AR was 1.879 (95%CI: 1.460-2.419); the RR value of low temperature for AR outpatient visits for people aged 0-14 years was 1.511 (95%CI: 0.999-2.287), the RR value of relatively low temperature for AR outpatient visits for people aged 0-14 years was 2.051 (95%CI: 1.383-3.042). Relatively high temperature, on the other hand, had a more significant effect on men and people aged 15-59 years. High temperature had a greater impact on the number of AR outpatients in men and people aged 0-14 years. Conclusions: Temperature may be an important influencing factor of AR onset in Lanzhou. At relatively high temperature (19.8 ℃), the risk of AR outpatient visits is significantly increased, and the cumulative lagged effects are observed. The sensitivity of AR patients to temperature is different in different genders and ages.

Abstract
RATIONALE Designer drugs of cathinone, a kind of hallucinogen, were abused in the recent years. They were also known as bath salts, plant fertilizers, and zombie potions in drug market. The abuse of synthetic cathinones caused many bad effects on social order. Rapid detection of synthetic cathinones became an important subject of study in forensic science. METHODS Direct analysis in real-time-tandem mass spectrometry (DART-MS/MS) was used to develop an effective method on nine synthetic cathinones in human whole blood and urine. The reference materials with 100 ng/mL were prepared for mass spectrometry optimization with electrospray ionization (ESI) probe tandem QTRAP 4000 mass spectrometer. The temperature of DART ion source was optimized to 400°C. The volumes of 4/1 (v/v) MeCN/MeOH with 0.69 mL were selected for the preparation of 0.31 mL blood and urine samples, respectively. Then the spiked analytes were prepared for detection by the DART 12Dip-it autosampler module. RESULTS The results showed that the linearities range between 0.1 and 5 μg/mL, the correlation coefficients (r2 ) ranged from 0.99 to 1, the limits of detection (LODs) were all between 0.5 and 50 ng/mL, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of repeatability, intra-day and inter-day precisions were all below 13% and 14% in blood and urine, respectively. CONCLUSION The results indicated that the method could meet the needs of rapid screening of samples that may contain synthetic cathinones. In addition, the method developed has many advantages, such as efficient, fast sample preparation, and environmental protection. Therefore, the DART-MS/MS method would provide effective data support for rapid screening of synthetic cathinones in forensic science.

Abstract
Trans-anal drainage tube is used to reduce the rectal pressure, especially at the anastomotic site and thus to protect the anastomosis. Ideally it serves as and even may replace a diverting stoma. When compared to no treatment, the effectiveness of TDT seems confirmed based on the literature, but it remains uncertain whether TDT can replace the diverting stoma. Despite the insignificant tangible costs of TDT, it seems different cultures put varied weight on the intangible costs such as discomfort and pain to patients after surgery.

Abstract
The activation of immune pathways is triggered by the recognition of pathogens by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Gram-negative bacteria-binding proteins (GNBPs)/β-1,3-glucan recognition proteins (βGRPs) are a conserved family of PRRs in insects. Two GNBPs are predicted in the genome database of pea aphids; however, little is known about their functions in the aphid immune system. Here, we show that pea aphid GNBPs possess domain architectures and sequence features distinct from those of typical GNBPs/βGRPs and that their expression is induced by bacterial infection. Knockdown of their expression by dsRNA resulted in lower phenoloxidase activity, higher bacterial loads and higher mortality in aphids after infection. Our data suggest that these two atypical GNBPs are involved in the antibacterial response in the pea aphid, likely acting as PRRs in the prophenoloxidase pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in heat stress-induced apoptosis of human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. OBJECTIVE SH-SY5Y cells were incubated at 43 ℃ for 2 h followed by further culture at 37 ℃ for 0, 3 h, or 6 h. With the cells cultured at 37 ℃ as the control, the cells exposed to heat stress were examined for morphological changes under optical microscope and changes in cell viability using CCK-8 assay. Flow cytometry was performed for detecting apoptosis of the cells following heat stress, and intracellular Ca2+ level in the cells was determined using flow cytometry and immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. The mRNA expression levels of caspase-12, BIP and XBP-1 in the cells were detected using qRT-PCR, and the protein expressions of caspase-12, BIP, P-JNK, JNK and XBP-1 were examined using Western blotting. The effect of pretreatment with 4-PBA on cell apoptosis following heat stress was analyzed with Western blotting. OBJECTIVE SH-SY5Y cells showed obvious cell shrinkage immediately after the exposure to heat stress, followed then by gradual cell stretching over time. The cell viability decreased significantly after heat stress (P=0.001), and the intracellular Ca2+ level increased significantly at 0 h and gradually recovered the normal level at 3 and 6 h. Heat stress induced significant increase in the protein expression of cleaved caspase-3 and time-dependent increase of caspase-12 (P=0.002) and BIP (P=0.008) expression at both the protein and mRNA levels. The expression of P-JNK/JNK protein increased significantly at 0 h (P=0.003) followed by gradual decrease; the expression levels of XBP-1 protein and mRNA gradually decreased after heat stress (P=0.005, P=0.002). Pretreatment with 4-PBA significantly reduced the expression level of cleaved caspase-3 in SH-SY5Y cells following heat stress. OBJECTIVE Heat stress induces apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells by triggering endoplasmic reticulum stress and the imbalance of intracellular calcium ion homeostasis.

Abstract
Background:Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypic autoimmune disease that characterized by the loss of self-tolerance and the production of autoantibodies (autoAbs) [1, 2]. Lupus nephritis (LN), the severe organ-threatening manifestations of SLE, could cause massive damage to patients[3, 4]. Currently, some exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) are considered as potential biomarkers in SLE. However, the role of exosomal miRNAs in Lupus Nephritis (LN) remains unclear.Objectives:The purpose of this study was to investigate molecular mechanism of plasma exosomal miRNAs in the development of Lupus Nephritis.Methods:Circulating exosomes were isolated from plasma of patients with LN, SLE without LN (NLN). Plasma exosomes were authenticated by Western Blot, Nanosight Tracking Analysis (NTA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Fluorescence microscopy of co-cultured plasma exosomes and podocytes demonstrated that exosomes were uptaken into podocytes. Moreover, cell apoptosis and the inflammation factors was assessed using Western Blot. We analyzed the expression profiles of miRNAs in LN and NLN exosomes and the expression profiles of mRNAs of podocytes stimulated with LN and NLN exosomes with the help of next generation sequencing (NGS).Results:We demonstrate that exosomes derived from LN plasma could be taken by neighboring podocytes and promote the apoptosis of podocytes and the expression of inflammation factors. In addition, the sequencing found that miRNAs were differentially expressed in LN and NLN exosomes and mRNAs were differentially expressed in podocytes stimulated with LN and NLN exosomes.Conclusion:LN plasma exosomes have a potency to stimulate the apoptosis of podocytes and the expression of inflammation factors. Moreover, differentially expressed miRNAs in exosomes play a potential role in the development of LN.References:[1]T. Colasanti, A. Maselli, F. Conti, M. Sanchez, C. Alessandri, C. Barbati, D.

Abstract
Background:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks own tissues and organs. B cells play a central role in SLE pathogenesis by producing autoantibodies as well as antibody-independent functions. Peripheral B cell abnormality is well known in lupus patients such as expansions of plasmablasts and atypical memory B cells, which are associated with active diseases. However, little is known about the B cell development in the bone marrow of lupus patients.Objectives:We conduct this survey to explore the disorder of the B cell development in the bone marrow of lupus patients.Methods:In this study, we have performed the scRNASeq to profile the bone marrow B cell compartment in lupus patients and healthy donors.Results:We identified that in a subset of lupus patients, the early B cells (proB and preB cells) were strongly decreased, which were confirmed by flow cytometry in an expanded cohort. Furthermore, bone marrow B cells from these patients showed a strong proinflammatory signature revealed by pathway analysis. Interestingly, BCR repertoire analysis showed that the IGHV-4-34 was highly enriched in these patients, indicating an enhanced B cell tolerance defect. Finally, a panel of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-a, IL-1a, IL-12p70, IFN-g, et al.) were strongly increased in the bone marrow plasma of these patients compared with early B normal patients and healthy donors, confirming a localized proinflammatory microenvironment.Conclusion:Altogether, the current study has revealed that a defective early B cell development in lupus patients is associated with a more severe B cell tolerance defect and aggravated inflammation, which may shed new light on developing novel therapies by targeting relevant pathways.References:[1]Min Wang, Hua Chen, Jia Qiu, et al.

Abstract
Background:Intestinal flora disorder and immune abnormalities have been reported in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients1,2. Berberine (BBR) showed significant effects in regulating the intestinal flora, repairing gut barriers and regulating immune cells3,4. While few reports mentioned the abnormal gut microbiota and metabolites in Chinese SLE patients.Objectives:Our investigation tried to illustrate the relationship between gut microbiota, intestinal metabolites and disease activity in Chinese SLE patients. And the effect of BBR to intestinal dysbacteriosis, multiple organ damages and over-activated immune system in MRL/Lpr mice.Methods:16S high-throughput (16S rRNA) sequence, qRT-PCR and gas chromatography technology were used to determine the gut microbiota and metabolites in 104 SLE patients from Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, China. BBR was orally treated to the MRL/Lpr mice in low, medium and high doses. After 6 weeks treatment, mice were sacrificed. Serum, faeces and organs were collected for further studies.Results:Chinese SLE patients showed higher abundance of Bacteroidetes and lower abundance of Firmcutes. The results of qRT-PCR showed high Firmcutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio of SLE patients. The F/B ratio was negative correlated with SLE disease activity index (SLEDA) score. Almost all the tested short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) found statistically significant results in SLE and LN (lupus nephritis) patients, especially the propanoic acid and butyric. BBR altered the relative abundance of Bacteroides and Verrucomicrobia and the butyric acid content in colon of MRL/Lpr mice. The increase of tight junction protein also indicated the gut barrier was repaired by BBR. Treg and Tfr cells in spleen and mesenteric lymph node (MLN) were increased. These results revealed a positive therapeutic effect of berberine on SLE from gut microbiota to immune status.Conclusion:Our study highlights current status of intestinal dysbacteriosis in Chinese patients with SLE and differences in intestinal metabolites among patients with different disease states. The regulation of intestinal flora and the repairment of gut barrier by intestinal metabolites in BBR treated mice seemed to be the factor that directed the immune responses and disease outcomes. The ultimate goal of our study was to determine the beneficial effects of regulating the gut microbiota on the treatment of SLE. The application of berberine is a relatively safe and convenient way. In the coming investigations, we plan to focus on the study of berberine and its metabolites on intestinal function and systemic immunity.References:[1]Guo, M. et al.

Abstract
Background:SLE is an autoimmune disease characterized by the abnormal function of lymphocytes. The impairment of hematopoietic function of bone marrow participates in its pathogenesis, in which T cells play an important role. However, study on bone marrow T cells in SLE patients is very limited.Objectives:This study aims to characterize the phenotype and molecular characteristics of abnormally activated CD8+T cells in bone marrow of SLE patients and explore the mechanism of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reduction caused by the abnormally activated CD8+T cells in bone marrow of patients with SLE.Methods:A total of 8 SLE patients and 5 age- and sex-matched controls were recruited in our study. Among them, 3 SLE patients and 4 donors were collected bone marrow and peripheral blood samples for Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and functional studies. BM and peripheral T cell subsets were measured by flow cytometry. Plasma cytokines and secreted immunoglobulins were detected by Luminex. Disease activity of SLE patients was measured using the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI). All analyses were performed using R language and Flowjo 9.Results:In the present study, SLE patients had increased CD8+T%αβT cells and decreased CD4+T%αβT cells in bone marrow of SLE, compared to healthy controls. A large number of CD38+HLADR+CD8+T cells existed in the bone marrow and peripheral blood of SLE patients. Those patients also showed reduced number of HSCs, and with a downward trend of the numbers of peripheral red blood cells, white blood cells, neutrophils, hemoglobin, and platelets. By scRNA-seq, the CD38+HLADR+CD8+T cells contained high levels of GZMK, GZMA, PRF1, IFNG, and TNF in the bone marrow of SLE patients. the CD38+HLADR+CD8+T cells exhibited significant relationship with HSCs, white blood cells, neutrophils, and platelets.Conclusion:These findings demonstrated that the abnormally activated CD8+T cells in bone marrow can reduce the number of HSCs by the expression of killer molecules, which contributes to the impairment of hematopoietic function and the development of SLE. This project focuses on the specific bone marrow T cell subset in SLE. The completement of this project provides information for exploring the mechanism of hematopoiesis involvement.References:[1]Anderson E, Shah B, Davidson A, Furie R.

Abstract
Background:Total saponins of Panax japonicus (TSPJ) are extracted from Panax japonicus (T.Nees) C.A.Mey and have achieved a good therapeutic effect in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Unfortunately, the mechanism of TSPJ acting on RA is not clear.Objectives:To investigate the potential mechanisms and key targets of TSPJ on RA.Methods:The raw data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the RStudio3.6.1 software was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The potential targets of active compounds from TSPJ were predicted by the Pharmmapper and SwissTargetPrediction databases. Based on the overlapping genes, we used Cytoscape 3.7.2 software to construct a protein-protein interactions (PPI) network and to determine the mechanisms of the treatment by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model was established and treated with different doses of TSPJ. Arthritis index (AI) and histology score were used to evaluate the symptoms of CIA. The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), IL-1β, and IL-17A tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and real time-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction.Results:A total of 2670 DEGs and 371 TSPJ targets were obtained, including 52 overlapping genes. 41 genes had protein interactions that are used to build the PPI network. The results of the KEGG enrichment analysis included VEGF and HIF-1 signaling pathway. Seven negative correlation genes and 16 positive correlation genes were obtained by correlational analysis of DEGs in VEGF and HIF-1 signaling pathway. SRC proto-oncogene, nonreceptor tyrosine kinase (SRC), and the signal transducer and the activator of transcription 3 (STAT 3) had a higher value of degree in PPI and showed a significant correlation in the pathways; they were regarded as key targets. Compared with the CIA model group, TSPJ significantly decreased the AI and histology scores. Moreover, the expression of VEGF-A, HIF-1α, IL-1β, and IL-17A in serum or spleens significantly reduced in a dose-dependent.Conclusion:Present study show that SRC and STAT 3 may be the key targets of TSPJ acting on the VEGF and HIF-1 signaling pathways, thus inhibiting angiogenesis and improving RA.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
Background:Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a relatively common autoimmune disease characterized by oral and ocular dryness. An increasing number of studies have revealed that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), miRNA, mRNA and circular RNA (circRNA) contributes to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.Objectives:To explore lncRNA, miRNA, mRNA and circRNA expression profiles in labial salivary glands (LSGs) in pSS patients and their biological functions in the regulation of pSS.Methods:The expression of 75,550 lncRNAs, 2,318 miRNA, 20,292 mRNAs and 6,877 circRNAs were determined in the LSG of six pSS patients and six healthy controls using microarray experiments. Validation was performed in pSS patients and controls using real-time PCR. LncRNA-mRNA co-expression and gene-pathway networks were constructed using bioinformatics software.Results:A total of 599 lncRNAs (upregulated: 279, downregulated: 320), 78 miRNAs (upregulated: 26, downregulated: 52), 615 mRNAs (upregulated: 590, downregulated: 25) and 160 mRNAs (upregulated: 110, downregulated: 50) were differentially expressed in the LSGs of pSS patients. Five of these lncRNAs were validated using real-time PCR. lncRNA HCP5, lncRNA SNHG5, lncRNA IFI44L, lncRNA CMPK2 were significantly upregulated and lncRNA TTYH1 were downregulated in pSS. GO and KEGG biological pathway analysis were performed to predict the functions of differentially expressed lncRNAs and co-expressed potential targeting genes. Subsequently, a ceRNA (lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA) network including 2320 ceRNA pairs was constructed based on predicted miRNAs shared by lncRNAs and mRNAs.Conclusion:The expression profile provided a systematic perspective on the potential functions of lncRNAs miRNAs, mRNAs and circRNAs in the pathogenesis of pSS. Therefore, this study will aid in the development of new diagnostic biomarkers and drug therapies.References:[1]Le Dantec C, Varin MM, Brooks WH, Pers JO, Youinou P, Renaudineau Y.

Abstract
Infections are able to trigger epigenetic modifications; however, epigenetic-mediating infections in the immune system in fish is currently unavailable. Within this purpose, zebrafish were immune-stimulated with three lipopolysaccharides (LPS) during sex differentiation. Methylation patterns of three immune genes were studied by a candidate gene approach together with gene expression analysis, and in adulthood, sex ratios were determined. It was shown that the entrance of LPS was through the gills and accumulated in the pronephros. Significant hypomethylation levels of CASP9 and a significant CpG site for IL1β after Pseudomonas aeruginosa LPS exposure were found. No methylation difference was observed for TNFα. Gene expression and correlation data differed among studied genes. Sex ratios showed a feminization in dose and LPS strain-dependent manner. Here, it is provided epigenetic regulatory mechanisms derived by innate response and the first evidence of possible epigenetic interactions between the immune and reproductive systems.

Abstract
Background:B cell differentiation and dysfunction play a key role in the pathogenesis of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Bone marrow (BM) is the development organ of B cells, and also the home and residence place of plasma cells and memory B cells. However, there is a lack of studies on B cells in BM with lupus.Objectives:To map the development of BM and peripheral B cells and investigate the mechanism of abnormal early B cell development in SLE.Methods:A total of 11 SLE patients and 5 age- and sex-matched controls were recruited.BM and peripheral B cell subsets were measured by flow cytometry. sorting-purified B cell subsets were subject toSingle-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and functional studies. Plasma cytokines and secreted immunoglobulins were detected by Luminex or ELISA. Disease activity of SLE patients was measured using the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI).Results:In the present study, we find out that the percentage of monocytes in MNC (p=0.070) and plasma cells(p=0.001)in CD19+ were significantly decreased in BM of SLE, compared to healthy controls. While, SLE patients had increased T%MNC(p=0.008) and B%CD19+(p=0.002) in BM that controls. In detail, the B cell subsets of bone marrow in patients with active lupus (SLEDAI≥8 score) were seriously disordered, showing the increasing T%MNC(p=0.049), propre-B%CD19+ (p=0.006)and immature B cell%CD19+ (p=0.010) than healthy donors. propre-B%CD19+ exhibited good relationship with SLEDAI. By integrating single B cell expression profiling and repertoire analysis, we map the development of B cells in BM and peripheral and pathogenic characteristics of early B cells, especially propre-B.Conclusion:These findings demonstrated that early B cells in BM, especially propre-B are abnormally differentiated with dysregulations. BM is an important organ targeted by SLE. This studyis not only to clarify the internal mechanism of the disorder of differentiation of B cells, but also to provide new clues for the targeted diagnosis and treatment of SLE.References:[1]Palanichamy, A., et al.,Neutrophil-mediated IFN activation in the bone marrow alters B cell development in human and murine systemic lupus erythematosus.J Immunol, 2014.192(3): p. 906-18.[2]Papadaki, H.A., J.C.

Abstract
Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common and systemic autoimmune disease1.It is vital for deciphering pathogenesis to define the precise CD4+Tcell subsets that are expanded or dysregulated in RA patients2.An increase in the Th17 cell subset and a decrease in Tregs resulting imbalance of Tregs/Th17 may be responsible for the occurrence and development of RA3. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) appear be a new therapeutic tool for immunological diseases4,5.InRA, the mechanism of the effect of miR-21 drivedfromDPSCsexosomes (DPSCs-exo) on the balance of Tregs/Th17 is still unclear.Objectives:We explored the effect of exosomes drived from DPSCson RA and investigated the correlation between DPSCs-exo and Tregs/Th17 balance.Methods:Exosomes were isolated through differential centrifugation. Collagen-induced arthritis(CIA) mice were builded to detect histological change and Tregs/Th17 ratio.CD4+Tcells were isolated from PBMCs. Exosomes and CD4+T cells were co-cultured to study the regulation of Tregs/Th17 balance.The relationship between miR-21 and Tregs/Th17 balance was studied by flow cytometry, qRT-PCR and Western blotting etc.Results:After Dpscs-exo treatment, the clinical scores and paw swelling of CIA mice decreased.At the same time, the expression of Treg cells increased and the expression of Th17 cells decreased in the spleen,changing the ratio of Tregs/Th17.Exosomes and CD4+T cells were co-culture,showing that Treg cellsincreased and Th17 cellsdecreased. MiR-21 is highly expressed in RA patients.MiR-21 in exosomes were Knockout and overexpressed.The balance ofTregs/Th17 decreased when miR-21 were knockout and increased when miR-21were overexpressed. In addition, STAT3 in CD4+T cells were overexpressed and co-culture with DPSCs-exo,which inhibited Tregs/Th17.Conclusion:We elucidated the mechanism of the regulation of Tregs/Th17 balance by DPSCs-exo, that is, miR-21 in exosomes drived from dental pulp stem cells ameliorate the Tregs /Th17 immune response via targeting STAT3 in collagen-induced arthritis mice.References:[1]MF, B.et al.Hexokinase 2 as a novel selective metabolic target for rheumatoid arthritis.77, 1636-1643,doi:10.1136/annrheumdis-2018-213103 (2018).[2]CY, F.et al.Mixed-effects association of single cells identifies an expanded effector CD4 T cell subset in rheumatoid arthritis.10,doi:10.1126/scitranslmed.aaq0305 (2018).[3]Q, S.et al.Impaired Tip60-mediated Foxp3 acetylation attenuates regulatory T cell development in rheumatoid arthritis.100, 27-39,doi:10.1016/j.jaut.2019.02.007 (2019).[4]L, J.et al.Comparison of immunomodulatory properties of exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and dental pulp stem cells.67, 432-442,doi:10.1007/s12026-019-09088-6 (2019).[5]B, M., A, L., M, B., W, L. & cells, S.

Abstract
Despite thousands of sex-biased genes being found in chickens, the genetic control of sexually dimorphic and left-right asymmetry during gonadal differentiation is not yet completely understood. This study aimed to identify microRNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), messenger RNAs (mRNAs), and signaling pathways during gonadal differentiation in chick embryos (day 6/stage 29). The left and right gonads were collected for RNA sequencing. Sex-biased, side-biased miRNAs, lncRNAs, mRNAs, and shared differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNA)–differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNA)–differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNA) interaction networks were performed. A total of 8 DEmiRNAs, 183 DElncRNAs, and 123 DEmRNAs were identified for the sex-biased genes, and 7 DEmiRNAs, 189 DElncRNAs, and 183 DEmRNAs for the side-biased genes. The results of quantitative real-time PCR were generally consistent with the RNA-sequencing results. The study suggested that miRNAs and lncRNAs regulation were novel gene-specific dosage compensation mechanism and they could contribute to left-right asymmetry of chicken, but sex-biased and side-biased miRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs were independent of each other. The competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks showed that 17 target pairs including miR-7b (CYP19A1, FSHR, GREB1, STK31, CORIN, and TDRD9), miR-211 (FSHR, GREB1, STK31, CORIN, and TDRD9), miR-204 (FSHR, GREB1, CORIN, and TDRD9), and miR-302b-5p (CYP19A1 and TDRD9) may play crucial roles in ovarian development. These analyses provide new clues to uncover molecular mechanisms and signaling networks of ovarian development.

Abstract
To overcome the dilemma between passive tissue targeting and active cell targeting, nanomaterials are often required to exhibit the transition from ‘stealth’ to ‘active targetable’ in response to the pathological microenvironment. Here, we introduced a ternary surface modification method that incorporating active targeting ligand lactobionic acid with pH-sensitive mixed-charge surface. The resulted mixed-charge gold nanoparticles (LA@MC-GNPs) showed resistance to non-specific adsorption of proteins and uptake by HepG2 cells at normal tissue pH 7.4, while they underwent pH-sensitive aggregation and recovered active targeting capability at tumor acidic pH 6.5. The ternary surface modification method provided a simplest strategy to solve the dilemma between passive and active targeting of nanomedicine. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were ternary modified with lactobionic acid ligand and mixed-charge ligands. The resulted GNPs showed pH-sensitive aggregation in response to tumor acidic pH. Resistance to non-specific protein adsorption and cell uptake of the ternary modified GNPs was observed at pH 7.4. Cell uptake was greatly enhanced because of the recalled active targeting ability at pH 6.5.

Abstract
Butyric acid is a beneficial feed additive used in animal production, including poultry production. However, there are few reports on butyric acid as a prophylactic treatment against intestinal inflammation in broilers. The current study explored the effect of sodium butyrate (SB) as a prophylactic treatment on the intestinal health and gut microbiota of broilers with intestinal inflammation induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) by monitoring changes in intestinal histopathology, gut leakiness indicators, inflammatory cytokines, and gut microbiota composition. Sodium butyrate supplementation prior to DSS administration significantly reduced the lesion scores of intestinal bleeding (P < 0.05) and increased villus height and the total mucosa of the ileum (P < 0.05). Regardless of intestinal inflammation, supplementation with SB at 300 mg/kg significantly decreased the levels of D (-)-lactate (P < 0.05), interleukin-6, and interleukin-1β (P < 0.05) but increased the level of interleukin-10 (P < 0.05). The SB treatment did not affect the alpha diversity of intestinal microbiota during intestinal inflammation progression but altered their composition, and the microbial community structure of treated broilers was similar to that of control broilers. Taken together, our results reveal the importance of SB in improving intestinal development, inducing an anti-inflammatory effect during intestinal inflammation progression, and modulating the microbial community in broilers. Sodium butyrate seems to be optimized for anti-inflammatory effects at higher doses (300 mg/kg SB).

Abstract
Objective: To assess the methylation level of SHP-1 promoter region and the effects on the phosphorylation of the Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription 3 (STAT3) protein in bone marrow specimen of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and to explore the relationship of SHP-1 methylation and prognosis of the patients. Method: Bone marrow specimens of 93 patients with MDS were collected from the General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from September 2010 to June 2014. The enrolled subjects included 54 males and 39 females and they were divided into the low-risk group (IPSS score:0-1.0, median: 0.5) and the high-risk group (IPSS score: 1.5-3.0, median: 2.5) according to the International Prognostic Score System (IPSS). The methylation level of SHP-1 was detected by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction, and the level of p-STAT3 was detected using Western blot. Results: In the high-risk group, 64.44% (29/45) of the patients had methylation in the SHP-1 promoter region, which was significantly higher than the low-risk group 22.92% (11/48). Therefore, SHP-1 methylation was frequently presented in the patients of the high-risk group. Similarly, 66.67% (30/45) of the patients in the high-risk group had positive STAT3 phosphorylation status, whereas only 20.83% (10/48) were tested positive in the low-risk group. In addition, correlation analysis also revealed that the SHP-1 methylation rate was positively correlated with the positive rate of STAT3 phosphorylation (r=0.57,P<0.001). Conclusions: SHP-1 methylation is significantly correlated with the risk of MDS patients. It may be used as an independent predictor of shorter survival in patients of the high-risk group. The increased level of SHP-1 methylation will lead to the uncontrolled activation of the downstream JAK/STAT3 pathway, which in turn can cause further positive feedback to amplify the carcinogenic signal.
