Hsa_circ_0002577 promotes endometrial carcinoma progression via regulating miR-197/CTNND1 axis and activating Wnt/β-catenin pathway

Circular RNA (circRNA) is involved in a wide range of life processes including tumorigenesis. However, the molecular mechanisms of circRNA in endometrial carcinoma (EC) carcinogenesis remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the potential modulation of hsa_circ_0002577 on EC progression. Here, we showed that hsa_circ_0002577 expression was significantly upregulated in EC tissues, and high hsa_circ_0002577 expression was associated with advanced FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis, and poor overall survival rate of EC patients. In function assays, we demonstrated that hsa_circ_0002577 knockdown significantly reduced EC cells proliferation, migration, invasion ability in vitro and decreased tumor growth in vivo. In mechanism study, we revealed that hsa_circ_0002577 might act as a sponge for miR-197, and CTNND1 was revealed to be a target gene of miR-197. In addition, we revealed that the oncogenic effects of hsa_circ_0002577 were attributed to the regulation of miR-197/CTNND1/Wnt/β-catenin axis. Taken together, we indicated that hsa_circ_0002577 could play critical functions by hsa_circ_0002577/miR-197/CTNND1/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which served as a novel therapeutic application for EC treatment.

超声内镜辅助下内镜黏膜下切除术对食管癌前病变患者肿瘤标志物及应激反应指标的影响

目的:探讨超声内镜(EUS)辅助下内镜黏膜下切除术(EMR)对食管癌前病变患者肿瘤标志物及应激反应指标的影响。方法:选择山东大学齐鲁医院青岛院区消化内科于2016年3月至2018年4月期间收治的食管癌前病变患者137例,采用随机数字表法将患者分为常规组(n=68,常规胃镜下行EMR)和EUS组(n=69,EUS辅助下行EMR),比较两组患者临床指标,比较两组术前、术后血清肿瘤标志物及应激反应指标水平,比较两组术前、术后1周相关遗传学分子水平。结果:EUS组手术时间、术后流质饮食时间均短于常规组(P0.05),并发食管黏膜小穿孔例数、使用钛夹止血例数均少于常规组(P0.05)。两组患者术后肿瘤特异性生长因子(TSGF)、细胞角蛋白19血清片段21-1(CYFRA21-1)、鳞状上皮细胞癌抗原(SCC-Ag)均较术前升高,但EUS组低于常规组(P0.05)。两组患者术后肾上腺素(E)、去甲肾上腺素(NE)、肾素(R)、血管紧张素Ⅱ(AngⅡ)、醛固酮均较术前升高,但EUS组低于常规组(P0.05)。两组患者术后1周细胞周期素E(Cyclin E)、转化生长因子-α(TGF-α)均较术前降低,且EUS组低于常规组(P0.05)。结论:相比于常规胃镜,经EUS辅助下EMR治疗食管癌前病变可有效改善患者的临床指标,减轻患者应激反应,有利于降低血清肿瘤标志物及遗传学分子水平。

目的:评价内膜厚度及内膜形态对于体外受精-胚胎移植中冷冻胚胎解冻复苏移植的临床妊娠结局的预测价值。方法:回顾性分析1521个冷冻胚胎解冻复苏移植周期,将患者按子宫内膜厚度分为4组,子宫内膜≤6 mm、6.1-8.0 mm、8.0-12 mm、12.0 mm,根据子宫内膜形态分为A型内膜、B型内膜、C型内膜。分别比较不同内膜厚度分组及不同内膜形态分组患者的年龄,移植胚胎数目、内膜准备方案构成比、移植胚胎类型(卵裂期胚胎、囊胚)构成比及各组间的临床妊娠率和活产率。采用ROC曲线分析子宫内膜厚度、形态对临床妊娠结局的预测价值。使用逐步回归分析内膜厚度、形态、年龄及移植胚胎类型与妊娠结局的相关性。结果:纳入1521个解冻复苏周期中按内膜厚度分为4组,各组周期数分别为96周期、454周期、893周期、78周期,各组间平均年龄分别为34.1±5.5岁、33.3±5.4岁、32.5±5.2岁、33.7±6.0岁(P0.05)。内膜厚度≤6 mm组临床妊娠率为31.3%,子宫内膜≤6mm、6.1-8.0 mm、8.0-12 mm、12.0 mm组临床妊娠率分别为48.5%、51.8%、47.4%(P0.05)。子宫内膜≤6 mm、6.1-8.0 mm、8.0-12 mm、12.0 mm组间活产率分别为18.8%、37.7%、44.6%、39.7%(P0.05)。A型、B型及C型内膜组周期数分别为920周期、189周期及412周期,三组间平均年龄分别为32.3±5.1、33.0±5.7、34.2±5.5岁(P0.05)。A型/B型及C型内膜组临床妊娠率分别为51.2%、46.6%及46.4%,三组间活产率分别为42.1%、36.0%及37.1%,三组间差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。子宫内膜厚度ROC曲线下面积为0.534(95%可信区间0.505-0.564),子宫内膜形态ROC曲线下面积为0.526(0.476-0.955)。逐步回归分析纳入内膜厚度、内膜形态、年龄、胚胎类型4个可变量,女方年龄(OR=0.929,P0.001),移植胚胎中囊胚比例(OR=1.595,P0.001)与临床妊娠率明显相关,内膜厚度(OR=1.054,P=0.05)及内膜形态(OR=0.864)与临床妊娠率无相关性。结论:虽然子宫内膜薄临床妊娠率下降,但是子宫内膜厚度与内膜形态不能够预测体外受精-胚胎移植解冻复苏周期临床妊娠率,患者年龄以及移植胚胎的发育潜能才是预测临床妊娠率的参考指标。

Effect modification of body mass index on the association between ovarian cysts and endometrial cancer

BackgroundOvarian cysts represent a common condition among women. Epidemiologic studies are inconsistent in determining if women with cysts are more likely to develop endometrial cancer (EC) regardless of overweight/obesity. We investigated the combined role of cysts and body mass index (BMI) on EC risk.MethodsWe pooled data from three case-control studies conducted in Italy and Switzerland on 920 women with EC and 1700 controls. The prevalence of cysts was 5% among both cases and controls, with 63% of cases being overweight/obese. We estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using logistic regression models, adjusting for potential confounders. We conducted stratified analyses according to BMI, and estimated the interaction between cysts and BMI; we carried out additional analyses according to age at diagnosis of cysts.ResultsOverall, history of cysts was not associated to EC (OR=1.27, 95% CI=0.82–1.97, P = 0.29). Normal weight women reporting cysts had an increased risk of EC (OR=2.49, 95% CI=1.31–4.74), while no such effect was found among overweight/obese women (OR=0.65, 95% CI=0.36–1.18; P for interaction=0.004). The association was limited to women below 65 years of age and was stronger in those who reported cysts at age 48 or older.ConclusionsCysts appeared to be a risk factor for EC in lean women but not in overweight/obese ones; these results are consistent with an effect of cysts and obesity on EC along common pathways.
