Intrauterine adhesion(IUA) is a common cause of uterine infertility and one of the most severe clinical features is endometrial fibrosis namely endometrial scarring for which there are few cures currently. Blocked angiogenesis is the main pathological change in the scarred endometrium. The fibroblast growth factor 2(b FGF), a member of FGF family, is usually applied to promote healing of refractory ulcer and contributes to angiogenesis of tissues. In this study, the sustained-release system of b FGF100 μg was administrated around scarred endometrium guiding by ultrasound every 4 weeks in 18 patients(2–4 times). Results showed that after treatment, the menstrual blood volume, endometrial thickness and the scarred endometrial area were improved.Histological study showed blood vessel density increased obviously. Three patients(3/18) achieved pregnancy over 20 gestational weeks. Therefore, administrating the b FGF surrounding scarred endometrium may provide a new therapeutic approach for the patients with endometrial fibrosis. 相似文献

Human pluripotent cells are promising for treatment for kidney diseases, but the protocols for derivation of kidney cell types are still controversial. Kidney tissue regeneration is well confirmed in several lower vertebrates such as fish, and the repair of nephrons after tubular damages is commonly observed after renal injury. Even in adult mammal kidney, renal progenitorcell or system is reportedly presents suggesting that adult stem-like cells in kidney can be practical clinical targets for kidney diseases. However, it is still unclear if kidney stem cells or stem-like cells exist or not. In general, stemness is defined by several factors such as self-renewal capacity, multi-lineage potency and characteristic gene expression profiles. The definite use of stemness may be obstacle to understand kidney regeneration, and here we describe the recent broad findings of kidney regeneration and the cells that contribute regeneration. 相似文献

Bone is a highly vascularized tissue reliant on the close spatial and temporal association between bloodvessels and bone cells. Therefore, cells that participate in vasculogenesis and osteogenesis play a pivotal role in bone formation during prenatal and postnatal periods. Nevertheless, spontaneous healing of bone fracture is occasionally impaired due to insufficient blood and cellular supply to the site of injury. In these cases, bone regeneration process is interrupted, which might result in delayed union or even nonunion of the fracture. Nonunion fracture is difficult to treat and have a high financial impact. In the last decade, numerous technological advancements in bone tissue engineering and cell-therapy opened new horizon in the field of bone regeneration. This review starts with presentation of the biological processes involved in bone development, bone remodeling, fracture healing process and the microenvironment at bone healing sites. Then, we discuss the rationale for using adult stem cells and listed the characteristics of the available cells for bone regeneration. The mechanism of action and epigenetic regulations for osteogenic differentiation are also described. Finally, we review the literature for translational and clinical trials that investigated the use of adult stem cells(mesenchymal stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells and CD34+ blood progenitors) for bone regeneration. 相似文献

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is an immune-mediated disease. The autoreactive T cells in T1D patients attack and destroy their own pancreatic cells. In order to systematically investigate the potential autoreactive T cell receptors (TCRs), we used a high-throughput immune repertoire sequencing technique to profile the spectrum of TCRs in individual T1D patients and controls. We sequenced the T cell repertoire of nine T1D patients, four type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients and six nondiabetic controls. The diversity of the T cell repertoire in T1D patients was significantly decreased in comparison with T2D patients (P = 7.0E08 for CD4+ T cells, P = 1.4E04 for CD8+ T cells) and nondiabetic controls (P = 2.7E09 for CD4+ T cells, P = 7.6E06 for CD8+ T cells). Moreover, T1D patients had significantly more highly-expanded T cell clones than T2D patients (P = 5.2E06 for CD4+ T cells, P = 1.9E07 for CD8+ T cells) and nondiabetic controls (P =1.7E07 for CD4+ T cells, P= 3.3E03 for CD8+ T cells). Furthermore, we identified a group of highly-expanded T cell receptor clones that are shared by more than two T1D patients. Although further validation in larger cohorts is needed, our data suggest that T cell receptor diversity measurements may become a valuable tool in investigating diabetes, such as using the diversity as an index to distinguish different types of diabetes. 相似文献

In order to investigate the relationship between the endometrial receptivity and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 ,-3 (TIMP-1,-3) in the en-dometrium, we used early pregnant mice as the animal model and studied the expression of MMP-2, TIMP-1 ,-3 in the endometrium in relation to the number of implantation sites after RU486 treatment. The results indicated that RU486 could significantly inhibit embryo implantation and change the expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-1,-3 in a dose-dependent pattern. When the mice were treated with 12 mg/kg RU486, there were a few embryos implanted as compared with the control. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase MMP-2 was low during the period of "implantation window", while the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase in the endometrial cells was high, suggesting that the activity of the proteolytic enzyme was strictly controlled by its inhibitors. After RU486 treatment, the generation of TIMP-1,3 was decreased while the MMP-2 wa 相似文献

Alzheimer’s disease(AD)is a progressive neurodegenerative disease in which patients exhibit gradual loss of memory that impairs their ability to learn or carry out daily tasks.Diagnosis of AD is difficult,particularly in early stages of the disease,and largely consists of cognitive assessments,with only one in four patients being correctly diagnosed.Development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of AD has proved to be a lengthy,costly and relatively unproductive process with attrition rates of90%.As a result,there are no cures for AD and few treatment options available for patients.Therefore,there is a pressing need for drug discovery platforms that can accurately and reproducibly mimic the AD phenotype and be amenable to high content screening applications.Here,we discuss the use of induced pluripotent stem cells(iPSCs),which can be derived from adult cells,as a method of recapitulation of AD phenotype in vitro.We assess their potential use in high content screening assays and the barriers that exist to realising their full potential in predictive efficacy,toxicology and disease modelling.At present,a number of limitations need to be addressed before the use of iPSC technology can be fully realised in AD therapeutic applications.However,whilst the use of AD-derived iPSCs in drug discovery remains a fledgling field,it is one with immense potential that is likely to reach fruition within the next few years. 相似文献

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a global public health problem. HBV-encoded X protein (HBx) is a multifunctional regulator that is required to initiate and maintain productive HBV infection, and is involved in HBV-related hepatocellular carci noma (HCC). Inhibitors that in terfere with the functions of HBx could be useful not only for the inhibition of HBV replication but also for the prevention or treatment of HBV-related HCC. To screen molecules that target HBx on a large scale remains a tech nical challenge due to a lack of sensitive and high-throughput system .In this work, we established an in vitro bioluminescent reporter system for screening HBx-targeting molecules. The system is based on a secretory fusion protein that combines HBx and NanoLuc (HBx-Nluc). The measured activity of NanoLuc in the culture supernatant of HBx-Nluc-expressing cells directly reflects the level of secreted HBx-Nluc. HBx protein-targeting intracellular anti-HBx single-chain variable fragment and RNA-targeting shRNA significantly reduced the secreted NanoLuc activity in HBx-Nluc-expressing cells. This system is simple and sensitive, and compatible with continuous non-disruptive screening, suggesting its potential usefulness for highthroughput screening and evaluating HBx-targeting molecules. 相似文献

Many circular RNAs(circRNAs) are reported to be abnormally expressed during the progression of various tumors, and these circRNAs can be used as anti-tumor targets. Therefore, it is important to identify circRNAs that can be used effectively for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer(CRC).Here, we report that hsa_Circ_0000826(Circ_0000826), a circ RNA with significantly reduced expression level in CRC tissues, is associated with a poor prognosis in patients.

Antipsychotic-induced metabolic disturbance(AIMD) is a common adverse effect of antipsychotics with genetics partly underpinning variation in susceptibility among schizophrenia patients. Melanocortin4 receptor(MC4 R) gene, one of the candidate genes for AIMD, has been under-studied in the Chinese patients. We conducted a pharmacogenetic study in a large cohort of Chinese patients with schizophrenia. In this study, we investigated the genetic variation of MC4 R in Chinese population by genotyping two SNPs(rs489693 and rs17782313) in 1,991 Chinese patients and examined association of these variants with the metabolic effects that were often observed to be related to AIMD. Metabolic measures, including body mass index(BMI), waist circumference(WC), glucose, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein(HDL), and low-density lipoprotein(LDL) levels were assessed at baseline and after 6-week antipsychotic treatment. We found that interaction of SNP×medication status(drug-na?ve/medicated) was significantly associated with BMI, WC, and HDL change %, respectively. Both SNPs were significantly associated with baseline BMI and WC in the medicated group. Moderate association of rs489693 with WC, Triglyceride, and HDL change % were observed in the whole sample. In the drug-na?ve group, we found recessive effects of rs489693 on BMI gain more than 7%, WC and Triglyceride change %, with AA incurring more metabolic adverse effects. In conclusion, the association between rs489693 and the metabolic measures is ubiquitous but moderate. Rs17782313 is less involved in AIMD. Two SNPs confer risk of AIMD to patients treated with different antipsychotics in a similar way. 相似文献

Metastasis is the main cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), but the molecular mechanism is not yet fully understood. Previous studies have shown that P zero-related protein (PZR), a member of the imm uno globulin family, can promote fibr onectin-depe ndent migratio n of mouse embryonic fibroblasts as well as invasion and metastasis of hepatic carcinoma cells. However, the role of PZR in CRC remains unclear. In this study, we determined the ectopic expression of PZR in CRC tissues, and results showed that PZR expression was in creased not only in tumors with higher pathological stage, but also in tumors with distant metastasis. Through PZRknockdown and overexpression in CRC cell lines, we found that the expression of PZR had significant effect on the invasion and migration of CRC cells as well as the phosphorylation of prometastasis proteins including focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and Src. Taken together, this study indicates that PZR may promote the invasion and migration of CRC cells through increasing the phosphorylation of FAK and Src, which provides a new theoretical basis and a possible marker for the diag nosis or prog nosis of CRC metastasis. 相似文献

Waldenstr?m macroglobulinemia (WM) is a low-grade lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma of mature IgM+ B-lymphocytes that remains incurable despite recent practice-altering therapeutic advances and refinements in patient care. Defining features of WM include symptoms that can either be attributed to the extent and site of tissue infiltration by tumor cells or the magnitude and immunological specificity of the monoclonal serum IgM (paraprotein). Current guidelines for the therapeutic stratification of patients with newly diagnosed WM recommend BR (bendamustin-rituximab) for bulky and/or symptomatic disease. DRC (dexamethasone-rituximab-cyclophosphamide) is a good treatment option for relapsed or refractory WM. Ibrutinib – a small-drug inhibitor of Bruton tyrosine kinase, approved for WM treatment in the United States and Europe in 2015 – is particularly effective for tumors that harbor the hallmark MYD88L265P mutation. Plasma exchange is indicated in patients with IgM-dependent hyperviscosity syndrome. The potential development of novel drugs and combination regimens generates promise that the future of patients with WM is bright. 相似文献

Metastasis is the main reason for high recurrence and poor survival of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).The molecular mechanism underlying HCC metastasis remains unclear.In this study,we found that argininosuccinate synthase 1(ASS1)expression was significantly decreased and down-regulation of ASS1 was closely correlated with poor prognosis in HCC patients.DNA methylation led to the down-regulation of ASS1 in HCC.Stable silencing of ASS1 promoted migration and invasion of HCC cells,whereas overexpression of ASS1-inhibited metastasis of HCC cells in vivo and in vitro.We also revealed that ASS1-knockdown increased the phosphorylation level of S727STAT3,which contributed to HCC metastasis by up-regulation of inhibitor of differentiation 1(ID1).These findings indicate that ASS1 inhibits HCC metastasis and may serve as a target for HCC diagnosis and treatment. 相似文献

Hepcidin is a key regulator of iron metabolism. The expres- sion of hepcidin is significantly induced by iron overload, inflammation, and infection of pathogens. Recent studies have indicated that the expression of hepcidin in the liver is also regulated during liver regeneration. However, the mechanism of the regulation of hepcidin expression and its role in liver regeneration remain unclear. In this study, we found that the hepatocyte growth factor inhibited hepcidin expression in the liver during the late stage of liver regener- ation. Meanwhile, we investigated the effect of hepcidin on liver regeneration. Mice overexpressing hepcidin-1 exhib- ited impaired hepatic regeneration after partial hepatect- omy, as determined by immunohistochemieal staining of the proliferation cell nuclear antigen. Our results demon- strated a negative role of hepcidin in modulating liver re- generation, and suggested that a sustained high iron level by the down-regulation of hepcidin at the late stage of liver regeneration is required for hepatocyte proliferation. 相似文献

Progressively loss of neural and glial cells is the key event that leads to nervous system dysfunctions and diseases. Several neurodegenerative diseases, for instance Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease, are associated to aging and suggested to be a consequence of deficiency of neural stem cell pool in the affected brain regions. Endogenous neural stem cells exist throughout life and are found inspecific niches of human brain. These neural stem cells are responsible for the regeneration of new neurons to restore, in the normal circumstance, the functions of the brain. Endogenous neural stem cells can be isolated, propagated, and, notably, differentiated to most cell types of the brain. On the other hand, other types of stem cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells can also serve as a source for neural stem cell production, that hold a great promise for regeneration of the brain. The replacement of neural stem cells, either endogenous or stem cell-derived neural stem cells, into impaired brain is highly expected as a possible therapeutic mean for neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, clinical features and current routinely treatments of agerelated neurodegenerative diseases are documented. Noteworthy, we presented the promising evidence of neural stem cells and their derivatives in curing such diseases, together with the remaining challenges to achieve the best outcome for patients. 相似文献

Limited benefit population of immune checkpoint inhibitors makes it urgent to screen predictive biomarkers for stratifying the patients. Herein, we have investigated peripheral CD4~+T cell signatures in advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients receiving anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatments. It was found that the percentages of IFN-γ and IL-17 A secreting na?ve CD4+T cells(Tn), and memory CD4+T cells(Tm) expressing PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 were significantly higher in responder(R) than non-responder(Non R) NSCLC patients associated with a longer progression free survival(PFS). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the baseline IFN-γ-producing CD4+Tn cells and PD-1+CD4~+ Tm cells were the most significant signatures with the area under curve(AUC) value reaching 0.849. This was further validated in another anti-PD-1 monotherapy cohort. Conversely,high percentage of CTLA-4~+CD4~+Tm cells was associated with a shorter PFS in patients receiving anti-PD-L1 monotherapy.Our study therefore elucidates the significance of functional CD4+Tn and Tm subpopulations before the treatment in predicting the responses to anti-PD-1 treatment in Chinese NSCLC patients. The fact that there display distinct CD4~+ Tcell signatures in the prediction to anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 monotherapy from our study provides preliminary evidence on the feasibility of anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 combination therapy for advanced NSCLC patients. 相似文献

The expression of core fucosylated E-cadherin in cancer cells and lung cancer patients: prognostic implications 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
It is well documented that the glycosylation of E-cadherin is correlated with cancer metastasis, but whether E-cadherin could be core fucosylated remains largely unknown. We found that E-cadherin was core fucosylated in highly metastatic lung cancer cells while absent in lowly metastatic lung cancer cells. Sinceα-1,6 Fucosyltransferase (α-1,6 FucT) is known to catalyze the reaction of core fucosylation, we investigated the biological function of core fucosylation on E-cadherin by α-1,6 FucT targeted RNAi and transfecting α-1,6 FucT expression vector. As a result, calcium dependent cell-cell adhesion mediated by E-cadherin was strengthened with the reduction of core fucosylation on E-cadherin after RNAi and was weakened with the elevated core fucosylation on E-cadherin after α-1,6 FucT over expression. Our data indicated that α-1,6 FucT could regulate E-cadherin mediated cell adhesion and thus play an important role in cancer development and progression. Computermodeling showed that core fucosylation on E-cadherin could significantly impair three-dimensional conformation of N-glycan on E-cadherin and produce conformational asymmetry so as to suppress the function of E-cadherin. Furthermore, the relationship between the expression of core fucosylated E-cadherin and clinicopathological background of lung cancer patients was explored in lung cancer tissue of patients. It turns out to demonstrate that core fucosylated E-cadherin could serve as a promising prognostic indicator for lung cancer patients. 相似文献

Lizards are key amniote models for studying organ regeneration. During tail regeneration in lizards, blastemas contain sparse granulocytes,macrophages, and lymphocytes among the prevalent mesenchymal cells. Using transmission electron microscopy to examine scarring blastemas after third and fourth sequential tail amputations, the number of granulocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes increased at 3–4 weeks in comparison to the first regeneration. An increase in granulocytes and agranulocytes also occurred within a week after blastema cauterization during the process of scarring.Blood at the third and fourth regeneration also showed a significant increase in white blood cells compared with that under normal conditions and at the first regeneration. The extracellular matrix of the scarring blastema, especially after cauterization, was denser than that in the normal blastema and numerous white blood cells and fibroblasts were surrounded by electron-pale, fine fibrinoid material mixed with variable collagen fibrils. In addition to previous studies,the present observations support the hypothesis that an increase in inflammation and immune reactions determine scarring rather than regeneration. These new findings verify that an immune reaction against mesenchymal and epidermal cells of the regenerative blastema is one of the main causes for the failure of organ regeneration in amniotes. 相似文献

Epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC)is one of the leading causes of death from gynecologic cancers and peritoneal dissemination is the major cause of death in patients with EOC.Although the loss of 4.1N is associated with increased risk of malignancy,its association with EOC remains unclear.To explore the underlying mechanism of the loss of 4.1N in constitutive activation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)and matrixdetached cell death resistance,we investigated samples from 268 formalin-fixed EOC tissues and performed various in vitro and in vivo assays.We report that the loss of 4.1N correlated with progress in clinical stage,as well as poor survival in EOC patients.The loss of 4.1N induces EMT in adherent EOC cells and its expression inhibits anoikis resistance and EMT by directly binding and accelerating the degradation of 14-3-3 in suspension EOC cells.Furthermore,the loss of 4.1N could increase the rate of entosis,which aggravates cell death resistance in suspension EOC cells.Moreover,xenograft tumors in nude mice also show that the loss of 4.1N can aggravate peritoneal dissemination of EOC cells.Single-agent and combination therapy with a ROCK inhibitor and a 14-3-3 antagonist can reduce tumor spread to varying degrees.Our results not only define the vital role of 4.1N loss in inducing EMT,anoikis resistance,and entosis-induced cell death resistance in EOC,but also suggest that individual or combined application of 4.1N,14-3-3 antagonists,and entosis inhibitors may be a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of EOC. 相似文献
