Potential functions of esophageal cancer-related gene-4 in the cardiovascular system

Rui Zhou, Yuanshu Liu, Wenjun Huang, Xitong Dang

《医学前沿（英文）》 2019年第13卷第6期页码 639-645 doi: 10.1007/s11684-019-0701-0

摘要： Esophageal cancer-related gene-4 ( ) is cloned from the normal epithelium of the esophagus. It is constitutively expressed in quiescent epithelial cells and downregulated during tumorigenesis, and expression levels are inversely correlated with the malignant phenotype of tumor cells, validating that is a real tumor suppressor gene. Unlike other tumor suppressor genes that usually encode membrane or intracellular proteins, encodes a 148-amino acid pre-pro-peptide that is tethered on the cell surface in epithelial cells, specialized epithelial cells, and human leukocytes, where it can be processed tissue dependently into several small peptides upon cell activation. Ecrg4 is expressed in a wide variety of other cells/tissues, including cardiomyocytes and conduction system of the heart，, the glomus cells of the carotid body, adrenal glands, choroid plexus, and leukocytes among others, where it exerts distinct functions, such as promoting/suppressing inflammation, inducing neuron senescence, stimulating the hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal axis, maintaining the stemness of stem cells, participating in the rhythm and rate control of the heart, and possibly gauging the responsiveness of the cardiovascular system (CVS) to hypoxia, in addition to tumor suppression. Here, we briefly review the latest discoveries on Ecrg4 and its underlying molecular mechanisms as a tumor suppressor and focus on the emerging roles of Ecrg4 in the CVS.

Xin Qin, Ping Zhang

《医学前沿（英文）》 2019年第13卷第5期页码 540-546 doi: 10.1007/s11684-018-0637-9

摘要： Given the rapid development in precision medicine, tremendous efforts have been devoted to discovering new biomarkers for disease diagnosis and treatment. Esophageal cancer-related gene-4 ( ), which is initially known as a new candidate tumor suppressor gene, is emerging as a sentinel molecule for gauging tissue homeostasis. ECRG4 is unique in its cytokine-like functional pattern and epigenetically-regulated gene expression pattern. The gene can be released from the cell membrane upon activation and detected in liquid biopsy, thus offering considerable potential in precision medicine. This review provides an updated summary on the biology of ECRG4, with emphasis on its important roles in cancer diagnosis and therapy. The future perspectives of ECRG4 as a potential molecular marker in precision medicine are also discussed in detail.

Xiaohua PAN, Shuhua YANG, Deming XIAO, Yong DAI, Lili REN

《医学前沿（英文）》 2009年第3卷第1期页码 49-56 doi: 10.1007/s11684-009-0012-y

摘要： The aim of this paper was to study the differential gene expression of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) by gene chip technology. Total RNA of 8 fresh GCTB specimens (Jaffe I∶6 cases, II∶1 case, III∶1 case; Campanacci I∶6 cases, II∶1 case, III∶1 case; Enneking Staging G T M : 5 cases, G T M : 2 cases, G T M : 1 case) and 4 normal bony callus specimens (the control group) were extracted and purified to get mRNA and then reverse transcribed to complementary DNA, respectively. Microarray screening with a set of 8064 human cDNA genes was conducted to analyze the difference among the samples and the control. The hybridization signals were scanned. The gene expression disparity between the GCTB samples and normal bony callus was significantly different ( <0.01), and the disparity of over 5-fold was found in 47 genes in the GCTB specimens, with 25 genes up-regulated and 22 down-regulated including the extracellular matrix and transforming-related genes, oncogene and its homolog genes, cytokine and its receptor genes. Specific gene spectrum associated with GCTB can be identified by cDNA microarray, which will be the foundation of progressive etiology elucidation, diagnosis and treatment of GCTB.

《医学前沿（英文）》 2018年第12卷第4期页码 374-386 doi: 10.1007/s11684-018-0652-x

摘要：

A family of transcription factors known as Id proteins, or inhibitor of DNA binding and differentiation, is capable of regulating cell proliferation, survival and differentiation, and is often upregulated in multiple types of tumors. Due to their ability to promote self-renewal, Id proteins have been considered as oncogenes, and potential therapeutic targets in cancer models. On the contrary, certain Id proteins are reported to act as tumor suppressors in the development of Burkitt’s lymphoma in humans, and hepatosplenic and innate-like T cell lymphomas in mice. The contexts and mechanisms by which Id proteins can serve in such contradictory roles to determine tumor outcomes are still not well understood. In this review, we explore the roles of Id proteins in lymphocyte development and tumorigenesis, particularly with respect to inhibition of their canonical DNA binding partners known as E proteins. Transcriptional regulation by E proteins, and their antagonism by Id proteins, act as gatekeepers to ensure appropriate lymphocyte development at key checkpoints. We re-examine the derailment of these regulatory mechanisms in lymphocytes that facilitate tumor development. These mechanistic insights can allow better appreciation of the context-dependent roles of Id proteins in cancers and improve considerations for therapy.

662 A/G gene variation in human tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 9 (TNFRSF9)

QU Yanchun, YANG Ze, SUN Liang, JI Linong

《医学前沿（英文）》 2008年第2卷第3期页码 283-285 doi: 10.1007/s11684-008-0053-7

摘要： The aim of this paper is to report a new coding variance of the gene, a candidate for autoimmune diseases. We found the variation in two families with type 2 diabetes mellitus by D-HPLC mutation screening method and confirmed our results by direct sequencing and PCR-RFLP. Although without changing the amino acid coding, the variance may have an effect on codon usage and play a role in disease development, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, we cannot define the role of this variance because the frequency of the minor allele is low in the Chinese population and no homozygote of the variance was found. More research in multiple populations will be necessary to define the role of this variance.

HE Yu, YANG Shuhua, LIU Yong, LI Tao

《医学前沿（英文）》 2008年第2卷第1期页码 51-57 doi: 10.1007/s11684-008-0010-5

摘要： To determine whether squamous cell carcinoma antigen recognized by human T cell 3 (SART3) gene can induce antitumor immunity against tumor cells which express the gene, we constructed mouse tumor cells expressing human SART3 (LM8-SART3) and carried out experiments . After subcutaneous injection with SART3 gene vaccine, cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity was measured using Cell Counting Kit-8. As for the part, C3H mice were divided into several groups. One group was challenged with tumor cells after immunity. Another group was treated with the vaccine after tumor implantation. It was found that human SART3 DNA vaccine can elicit a specific CTL reaction from the mouse splenocytes. After vaccination, tumor occurrence and tumor growth speed was reduced. The vaccine also shows activity in tumor treatment. We conclude that the human SART3 DNA vaccine can induce antitumor ability against tumor cells expressing human SART3 (LM8-SART3) which may provide new possibilities in antitumor therapy.

Fen LAN, Shengdao XIONG, Weining XIONG, Guopeng XU, Xiaoxia LU

《医学前沿（英文）》 2009年第3卷第1期页码 41-44 doi: 10.1007/s11684-009-0009-6

摘要： This study aims to research the expression of spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the relationship between Syk and clinicopathologic factors and p53. Immunohistochemistry was applied to detect the expression of Syk and p53 protein in 39 cases of NSCLC (23 cases of lung squamous cell cancer, 16 cases of lung adenocarcinoma) and tumor-surrounding normal lung tissues. The positive rate of Syk was 46.15% (18/39) and 100% (39/39) in NSCLC and tumor-surrounding normal lung tissues, respectively. The expression level of Syk in NSCLC was significantly lower than that in tumor-surrounding normal lung tissues ( = 0.000). The Syk expression was positively correlated withthe p53 expression in NSCLC specimens ( = 0.025). There was no significant association between Syk expression and lymph node metastasis, differentiation degree, tumor size and tumor node metastasis (TNM). The present study demonstrated that Syk was aberrantly expressed in the NSCLC and might have a significant impact on tumor growth and progression.

A systematic survey of LU domain-containing proteins reveals a novel human gene, LY6A, which encodes

《医学前沿（英文）》 2023年第17卷第3期页码 458-475 doi: 10.1007/s11684-022-0968-4

摘要： The Ly-6 and uPAR (LU) domain-containing proteins represent a large family of cell-surface markers. In particular, mouse Ly-6A/Sca-1 is a widely used marker for various stem cells; however, its human ortholog is missing. In this study, based on a systematic survey and comparative genomic study of mouse and human LU domain-containing proteins, we identified a previously unannotated human gene encoding the candidate ortholog of mouse Ly-6A/Sca-1. This gene, hereby named LY6A, reversely overlaps with a lncRNA gene in the majority of exonic sequences. We found that LY6A is aberrantly expressed in pituitary tumors, but not in normal pituitary tissues, and may contribute to tumorigenesis. Similar to mouse Ly-6A/Sca-1, human LY6A is also upregulated by interferon, suggesting a conserved transcriptional regulatory mechanism between humans and mice. We cloned the full-length LY6A cDNA, whose encoded protein sequence, domain architecture, and exon‒intron structures are all well conserved with mouse Ly-6A/Sca-1. Ectopic expression of the LY6A protein in cells demonstrates that it acts the same as mouse Ly-6A/Sca-1 in their processing and glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchoring to the cell membrane. Collectively, these studies unveil a novel human gene encoding a candidate biomarker and provide an interesting model gene for studying gene regulatory and evolutionary mechanisms.

Hong-Zhu LU MD, Dan LIU BM, Qi-Hong FAN BM, Jian-Hua ZHOU MD,

《医学前沿（英文）》 2010年第4卷第1期页码 106-111 doi: 10.1007/s11684-010-0004-y

摘要： Hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx), a 17-kd protein encoded by X gene of hepatitis B virus (HBV), has been shown to function as a transcriptional trans-activator of a variety of viral and cellular promoter/enhancer elements. The aim of the study is to investigate the extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERKs) pathway of HBx on glomerular mesangial cell (GMC) proliferation and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression. The HBV X gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pCI-neo and confirmed by restriction endonuclease digestion and sequence analysis. PCI-neo containing HBV X gene (pCI-neo-X) was then transfected into cultured GMC line via liposome. GMC proliferation, TNF-α and its mRNA expression were compared in the condition of with or without U0126 in culture media. HBx, ERK and p-ERK expression in GMCs was assessed by Western blotting. TNF-α mRNA expression was assessed by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). TNF-α level in supernatants was measured by ELISA. GMC proliferation was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) kit. The results showed that HBx expression was found in transfected GMCs and became prominent at 36th and 48th h after transfection whether with or without U0126 in culture media. TNF-α mRNA expression was significantly decreased in U0126 group compared with U0126-free group. TNF-α levels in supernatants in PCI-neo-X transfection without U0126 group were (189.0±18.1) and (172.3±24.3) pg/mL at 36th and 48th h after transfection, respectively. In contrast, TNF-α levels in supernatants with U0126 were (65.6±11.6) and (84.0±24.6) pg/mL at 36th and 48th h, respectively. The TNF-α levels in the latter groups were significantly lower than those in the former groups (<0.05). GMCs proliferation was also lower in added U0126 group at 36th and 48th h after transfection. From above, we can conclude that HBx could induce GMC proliferation and increase TNF-α mRNA expression and its protein production. HBx upregulates TNF-α expression and induces cell proliferation of GMC line partly through ERK signal transduction pathway.

TNF-alpha secretion from peripheral blood monocular cells by triptolid is associated with TNF-alpha-308 gene

Xiu-Liang TAO MM, Sheng-Hao TU MD, Ri-Bo XIONG MM, Yong-Hong HU BM,

《医学前沿（英文）》 2010年第4卷第2期页码 220-224 doi: 10.1007/s11684-010-0025-6

摘要： This study examined the inhibitory effect of triptolid (TP) on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) secreted from peripheral blood monocular cells (PBMCs) and the association of the inhibitory effect with TNF-α-308 gene polymorphisms in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Gene polymorphism at A-G site 308 in the promoter region of TNF-α gene was detected in 42 RA patients by using allele specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) assay. PBMCs were harvested from these patients and treated first with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and then with different doses of TP (1, 5.4 and 15 ng/mL). The TNF-α level in the supernatants was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that TNF-α level in the supernatants of TP (1 ng/mL)-treated PBMCs was decreased by 3.80% and 4.91%, respectively, in the patients with AA and AG genotypes, when compared with those treated with LPS alone (>0.05). Moreover, the TNF-α level in the patients with GG genotype was reduced by 20.74% (<0.05). When PBMCs were treated with TP at 5.4 ng/mL, TNF-α levels in the patients with AA, AG, and GG genotypes were decreased by 20.42%, 34.73%, and 41.69%, respectively (<0.05). The TNF-α level was slightly higher in the PBMCs treated with 15 ng/mL of TP than those in the two TP groups in the patients carrying AA, AG, and GG genotypes (>0.05). It was concluded that gene polymorphism at TNF-α-308 sites may relate to the secretion of TNF-α in RA patients. TP has different inhibitory effects on the secretion of TNF-α in the patients harboring different genotypes, which may be one of the reasons for individual variation in response to TP.

《农业科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2015年第2卷第1期页码 73-83 doi: 10.15302/J-FASE-2015044

摘要： Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) protein can inhibit the signal transduction triggered by some cytokines or hormones and thus are important in many physiological/pathological processes, including innate and adaptive immunity, inflammation, and development in mammals. However, there is sparse information about their structure, tissue expression, in birds, where their biological functions remain unknown. In this study, we cloned and characterized two genes (named and ) from chickens. is predicted to encode a 207-amino acid protein, which shares high amino acid sequence identity (64%–67%) with human and mouse SOCS1. Besides , a novel gene was also identified in chickens and other non-mammalian vertebrates including . Chicken is predicted to encode a 212-amino acid protein, which shares only 30%–32% amino acid sequence identity with human SOCS1 and cSOCS1a. RT-PCR assay revealed that both and are widely expressed in all chicken tissues. Using a luciferase reporter assay system, we further demonstrated that transient expression of and can significantly inhibit chicken growth hormone (GH)- or prolactin (PRL)-induced luciferase activities of Hep G2 cells expressing cGH receptor (or cPRL receptor), indicating that SOCS1a and SOCS1b proteins can negatively regulate GH/PRL signaling. Taken together, these data suggest that both cSOCS1a and cSOCS1b may function as negative regulators of cytokine/hormone actions, such as modulation of GH/PRL actions in chickens.

摘要： The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and tongue cancer cell line Tca8113, as well as their effects on each other. We detected PTTG protein and bFGF in OSCC tissues from 56 cases using the streptavidin-biotin peroxidase (S-P) method; additionally, after being treated with different concentrations of anti bFGF or PTTG antibody, PTTG or bFGF expression in Tca8113 was examined by immunocytochemistry. The results were as follows: (1) Positive rates of PTTG protein and bFGF were 78.2% and 67.3% in OSCC, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in normal mucosal tissues (<0.05). PTTG protein was significantly up-regulated in poorly and moderately differentiated tumors compared to well differentiated tumors (<0.05), and there was also a significant difference between tumors with lymph node metastasis and tumors without lymph node metastasis (<0.05). PTTG protein expression was positively correlated with bFGF ( = 0.382, <0.05); (2) PTTG protein emitted strong fluorescence in Tca8113, and it decreased after being treated with anti-bFGF antibody. Anti-PTTG antibody also had an inhibitive effect on bFGF expression. In summary, the overexpression of PTTG protein is closely related with OSCC differentiation and lymph node metastasis. PTTG protein expression conforms to bFGF in OSCC tissues and Tca8113 cells. Detection of both PTTG and bFGF may help to judge the degree of malignancy and prognosis of patients with OSCC.

《医学前沿（英文）》 2021年第15卷第2期页码 232-251 doi: 10.1007/s11684-020-0797-2

摘要： In recent years, studying the role of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in many pathological inflammatory conditions has become a very active research area. Although the role of MDSCs in cancer is relatively well established, their role in non-cancerous pathological conditions remains in its infancy resulting in much confusion. Our objectives in this review are to address some recent advances in MDSC research in order to minimize such confusion and to provide an insight into their function in the context of other diseases. The following topics will be specifically focused upon: (1) definition and characterization of MDSCs; (2) whether all MDSC populations consist of immature cells; (3) technical issues in MDSC isolation, estimation and characterization; (4) the origin of MDSCs and their anatomical distribution in health and disease; (5) mediators of MDSC expansion and accumulation; (6) factors that determine the expansion of one MDSC population over the other; (7) the Yin and Yang roles of MDSCs. Moreover, the functions of MDSCs will be addressed throughout the text.
