circ_SEPT9, a newly identified circular RNA,promotes oral squamous cell carcinoma progression through miR‐1225/PKN2 axis

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) represent a newly discovered class of endogenous non‐coding RNAs which are widely expressed and play important roles in disease progression. However, the function of circRNAs in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) still remains largely unknown. In this research, we found that circ_SEPT9 was highly expressed in OSCC cell lines and tumour tissues. Results showed that circ_SEPT9 promoted OSCC proliferation and tumour growth. And, circ_SEPT9 also enhanced the migration and invasion of OSCC cells. Mechanically, we found that circ_SEPT9 acted as a sponge for miR‐1225 to rescue PKN2 expression in OSCC cells. Inhibition of circ_SEPT9/miR‐1225/PKN2 pathway could effectively block the proliferation and metastasis of OSCC cells. Our study provides strong evidence that circ_SEPT9/miR‐1225/PKN2 axis is a promising target for OSCC treatment.     

MiR-210-3p-EphrinA3-PI3K/AKT axis regulates the progression of oral cancer

This study aimed to explore new therapeutic targets to improve the survival rate of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).MiR-210-3p, EphrinA3 and EMT related indices were evaluated in OSCC tissues and cell lines. In addition, the relationship between differential EphrinA3 expression and tumour progression was explored through molecular biology techniques, in vitro functional experiments and tumour xenotransplantation models. The expression of EphrinA3 (r_s = −0.719, P < .05) and E-cadherin (r_s = −0.856, P < .05) was negatively correlated with the pathological grading in OSCC tissues. Protein clustering shows EphrinA3 may be associated with tumour progression. EphrinA3 also can regulate the biological behaviour of oral cancer cells. And it regulates the EMT by the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway. MiR-210-3p targeted the gen EFNA3. Up-regulation of miR-210-3p expression can decrease the expression of EphrinA3 and further to influence the biological behaviour of OSCC. The miR-210-3p-EphrinA3-PI3K/AKT signalling axis plays an important role in the progress of OSCC. EphrinA3 may serve as a novel target for oral cancer treatment.     

Monophosphoryl lipid A alleviated radiation-induced testicular injury through TLR4-dependent exosomes

Radiation protection on male testis is an important task for ionizing radiation-related workers or people who receive radiotherapy for tumours near the testicle. In recent years, Toll-like receptors (TLRs), especially TLR4, have been widely studied as a radiation protection target. In this study, we detected that a low-toxicity TLR4 agonist monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) produced obvious radiation protection effects on mice testis. We found that MPLA effectively alleviated testis structure damage and cell apoptosis induced by ionizing radiation (IR). However, as the expression abundance differs a lot in distinct cells and tissues, MPLA seemed not to directly activate TLR4 singling pathway in mice testis. Here, we demonstrated a brand new mechanism for MPLA producing radiation protection effects on testis. We observed a significant activation of TLR4 pathway in macrophages after MPLA stimulation and identified significant changes in macrophage-derived exosomes protein expression. We proved that after MPLA treatment, macrophage-derived exosomes played an important role in testis radiation protection, and specially, G-CSF and MIP-2 in exosomes are the core molecules in this protection effect.     

细叶百合LpPEX7基因克隆及盐胁迫下的表达特性分析

从细叶百合的鳞茎中克隆出过氧化物酶体生物合成蛋白基因（LpPEX7）,该基因ORF全长957 bp,编码318个氨基酸。LpPEX7蛋白序列包含6个WD40保守结构域,通过同源蛋白序列比对和进化树分析,发现LpPEX7与其他植物的PEX7蛋白具有较高的同源性。LpPEX7基因在细叶百合种子,叶片和鳞茎中的表达量比较高,在根和花中表达量比较低,在H₂O₂,NaCl,NaHCO₃不同逆境处理条件下,LpPEX7基因的表达量都发生了改变。在盐碱和氧化胁迫处理下,LpPEX7过表达拟南芥株系种子的萌发要早于野生型种子的萌发,这些研究结果表明LpPEX7基因与盐碱、氧化逆境有一定的应答关系,为细叶百合的耐盐碱性分子机理研究提供一个非常重要的候选基因。
