The predominant pathogens associated with hospital-acquired gastroenteritis are Clostridioides difficile and Norovirus, both of which can be assayed individually with PCR-based tests performed at UCHealth. Previous studies favor a cost-saving ‘3-day rule,’ that restricts ordering culture-based stool testing on inpatient adults following the 3rd day of hospitalization. However, the previous studies performed a limited analysis of pathogens using predominantly culture-based assays. Furthermore certain patient groups may be at high risk for developing nosocomial diarrhea with less common organisms, which may go undetected if the 3-day rule were enforced for the GI panel assay. Thus there is a need to validate whether the 3-day rule is appropriate for restricting the use of the GI panel assay for the evaluation of nosocomial diarrhea.","PeriodicalId":18754,"journal":{"name":"Molecular and Cellular Biology / Genetics","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80765477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amplified in breast cancer 1 (AIB1) is a member of the steroid receptor coactivator family that mediates the transcriptional activities of nuclear receptors. While AIB1 is associated with the initiation and progression of multiple cancers, the mechanism by which AIB1 contributes to PDAC progression remains largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of AIB1 in the progression of PDAC and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Methods: The clinical significance and mRNA level of AIB1 in PDAC were studied by database analysis. To demonstrate whether AIB1 mediates the malignant features of PDAC cells, namely, proliferation, migration, invasion, we performed real-time PCR and Western blot analysis, established xenograft models and used in vivo metastasis assay. With insights into the mechanism of AIB1, we performed RNA sequencing (Seq), ChIP-Seq, luciferase reporter assays and pull-down assays. Furthermore, we analyzed the relationship between AIB1 expression and its target expression in PDAC cells and patients and explored whether PDAC cells with high AIB1 levels are sensitive to inhibitors of its target. Results: We found that AIB1 was significantly upregulated in PDAC and associated with its malignancy. Silencing AIB1 impaired hedgehog (Hh) activation by reducing the expression of smoothened (SMO), leading to cell cycle arrest and the inhibition of PDAC cell proliferation. In addition, AIB1, via upregulation of integrin αv (ITGAV) expression, promoted extracellular matrix (ECM) signaling, which played an important role in PDAC progression. Further studies showed that AIB1 preferably bound to AP-1 related elements and served as a coactivator for enhancing the transcriptional activity of MafB, which promoted the expression of SMO and ITGAV. PDAC cells with high AIB1 levels were sensitive to Hh signaling inhibitors, suggesting that blocking Hh activation is an effective treatment against PDAC with high AIB1 expression. Conclusions: These findings reveal that AIB1 is a crucial oncogenic regulator associated with PDAC progression via Hh and ECM signaling and suggest potential therapeutic targets for PDAC treatment.

The standard method of diagnosis and staging of lymphoma involves surgical biopsy of the tumor - a procedure that has many negative associated risks. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted in biological fluids that can serve as “liquid biomarkers”. Identification of unique cancer-related biomarkers in urinary exosomes may provide a novel non-invasive and cost-effective tool for lymphoma diagnosis. Analyses of biomarkers obtained from urinary exosomes have been used to evaluate urological cancers, however, these methods have not yet been translated to non-urological pathologies, such as lymphomas. The objective for this study was to determine the profile of microRNAs (miRNAs) expressed in urinary exosomes of mice challenged with lymphoma and compare it to miRNAs identified in urinary exosomes of control mice. Male and female C57BL/6 mice, (tumor (+), n=12), were injected with either 2.5x105 mouse EL-4 lymphoma cells or phosphate-buffered saline (tumor (-), n=12). Tumor growth was monitored for 20 days. Urine was collected for 48 hours starting on day 17 and serum, tumor tissues, and organs were collected on day 20. Extraction of urinary exosomes was followed by total RNA isolation and RT-qPCR for which a set of PCR arrays consisting of 709 mouse-specific miRNA primers was used. Fold changes in miRNA expression were quantified using the ΔΔCt method. Mice developed tumors by day 13 with initial tumor appearance around day seven. There were no statistically significant differences between final tumor mass, body weight, or food and water intake in tumor (+) versus tumor (-) mice. RT-qPCR arrays of miRNAs extracted from urinary exosomes revealed 464 miRNAs that were differentially expressed between tumor (+) and tumor (-). 215 miRNAs were up-regulated, while 249 miRNAs were down-regulated in tumor (+) mice. These results will be compared to miRNAs from serum and tumor tissues to identify tumor-specific miRNAs that can be used for potential application in the clinical setting.
