{"title":"Bioinformatics Analysis and Experimental Verification of Prognostic and Biological Significance of Autophagy-Related Long Non-Coding RNAs in Gastric Carcinoma","authors":"Jiebang Jiang","doi":"10.26689/par.v7i1.4720","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26689/par.v7i1.4720","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a vital role in autophagy modulation and tumor progression. However, the key lncRNAs and their functions in gastric cancer (GC) remain largely unknown. Methods: A bioinformatic analysis of GC patients’ gene expression profiling data from the Cancer Genome Atlas database was performed to identify autophagy-related lncRNAs that are associated with predictive risk. Through Cox regression and Lasso regression analyses, the autophagy-related lncRNAs that are associated with prognosis were identified, and a novel prognostic model for GC was established. The model was then used to evaluate the clinical features and predictive risk of individuals with GC. By using two datasets, GSE 62254 (n = 300) and GSE 15459 (n = 192), from Gene Expression Omnibus, its effectiveness was verified. Gene set enrichment analysis according to hallmark and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes were used to determine the possible biological roles of these lncRNAs. Furthermore, the HOXD antisense growth-associated long non-coding RNA (HAGLR) mechanism in GC was discovered through in vitro and in vivo experiments. Results: Six lncRNAs associated with autophagy in GC were identified, and a new prognostic risk model based on these lncRNAs was established. The six-lncRNA signature was significantly associated with adverse clinicopathological features and found to be an independent GC prognostic factor. The model was proven to be effective and robust by GSE62254 and GSE15459. According to gene set enrichment analysis, the six lncRNAs appeared to be tightly linked to autophagy-related and cancer-related mechanisms. HAGLR was also found to promote tumor growth by enhancing autophagy signaling in GC. Conclusion: A novel prognostic model integrating HAGLR that can effectively evaluate and predict the prognostic risk of GC patients was established. The results indicated that HAGLR promotes gastric cancer progression by enhancing autophagy and is anticipated to be a potential new target for the treatment of gastric cancer.","PeriodicalId":61025,"journal":{"name":"抗癌研究","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45772426","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}

Methods: Ninety-eight patients with anal pruritus after anorectal surgery in our hospital were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into two groups, the control group (50 cases) and the study group (48 cases), according to the treatment plan. The control group was under a simple western medicine treatment plan, while the study group was under an integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment plan. The overall efficacy, severity of anal pruritus, time to eliminate clinical symptoms, and anxiety and depression scores of the two groups of patients under different treatment plans were compared. Results: After two weeks of treatment, the total effective rate of the study group was 95.83%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (82.00%, P < 0.05). After 7 and 14 days of treatment, the anal pruritus scores improved significantly in both the groups, but the study group was superior to the control group, with statistical difference (P < 0.01). The time of disappearance of skin itching and skin damage in the study group was shorter than that in the control group. After 14 days of treatment, the anxiety and depression scores of both groups were lower than those after 7 days of treatment; however, there was statistical difference between the two groups (P < 0.01). Conclusion: In the clinical treatment of anorectal postoperative diseases, such as anal pruritus, the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine can significantly improve the symptoms of pruritus, shorten the time of disappearance of clinical symptoms, improve depression and anxiety, and create a positive clinical application value in promoting the rehabilitation of patients and improving their quality of life.","PeriodicalId":61025,"journal":{"name":"抗癌研究","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45639898","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}

Cholangiocarcinoma cell lines CCLP-1, QBC939, RBE, and HCC-9810 as well as normal human biliary epithelial cell line HIBEC were purchased for cell culture. We performed cell transfection, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to detect gene expression, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) experiment to determine cell proliferation ability, scratch test to determine cell migration ability, and Transwell test to detect cell invasion ability. Results: The expression of lncRNA SNHG7 in cholangiocarcinoma cell lines CCLP-1, QBC939, RBE, and HCCC-9810 was 3.21 ± 1.01, 3.03 ± 1.02, 2.98 ± 1.21, and 3.12 ± 1.14, respectively, while its expression in normal cell line HIBEC was 3.21 ± 1.21; the expression of lncRNA SNHG7 in CCLP-1 was the highest; compared with HIBEC, the p values were all less than 0.05, indicating that the difference was statistically significant. The expression of miR-520f-3p in CCLP-1, QBC939, RBE, and HCCC-9810 was 1.45 ± 0.75, 1.55 ± 0.71, 1.54 ± 0.73, and 1.61 ± 0.72, respectively, while its expression in normal cell line HIBEC was 3.21 ± 1.21; the expression of miR-520f-3p in CCLP-1 was the lowest, and compared with HIBEC, the p values were all less than 0.05, indicating that the difference was statistically significant. In qRT-PCR, the expression of lncRNA SNHG7 of si-NC (3.21±1.11) was significantly higher than that of si-SNHG7 (1.14±0.76), and the p value was less than 0.05, indicating that the difference was statistically significant. In the CCK-8 experiment, the proliferation ability of CCLP-1 cells of the si-NC group at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h was 0.61±0.59, 0.75±0.68, and 1.36±0.71, respectively; the proliferation ability of CCLP-1 cells of the si-SNHG7 group at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h was 0.51±0.64, 0.59±0.59, and 0.63±0.61, respectively; there was a significant decrease in the proliferation ability, and the p value was less than 0.05, indicating a statistically significant difference. After 24 h of scratch treatment, compared with the si-NC group, the migration ability of CCLP-1 cells of the si-SNHG20 group was reduced (t = 6.356, P = 0.026). The results of Transwell test showed that the cell invasion ability of CCLP-1 in the si-SNHG20 group was significantly reduced compared with the si-NC group (t = 7.845, P = 0.032).

In HD, many regions of the human brain are affected, including the striatum, thalamus, and cortex. The mechanism is by the expansion of CAG repeats, which encode glutamine (Q) in the Huntingtin gene on chromosome 4p16.3. Patients with more CAG repeats tend to have a younger age of onset and a higher risk. Mutant HTT protein, translated from mtHtt, would congregate or interact with other proteins, causing damage to the human body. Patients with HD show symptoms like chorea, which is an involuntary motor disability, cognitive deterioration, and psychiatric disturbances. Except for the genetic pathology of HD, the epigenetic mechanism of this disease has made a lot of progress in recent years.

Results: Compared with normal tumor-associated macrophage (TAM), hypoxic TAM further promoted the migration of tumor cells. The number of tumor metastases in the lungs, induced by hypoxic TAM, was significantly higher than that of normoxic TAM. Hypoxia can significantly stimulate the expression of CCL22. CCL22 can significantly promote the migration of MDA-MB-231 and BT-549 cells. The expressions of CCR3, CCR4, and CCR5 in tumor tissues were significantly increased compared with normal tissues, in which CCR4 showed the most significant increase. Conclusion: TAM cultured under hypoxia significantly enhanced the migration ability of TNBC cells and promoted the metastasis of cancer cells to the lungs in vivo.

Methods: An animal model was constructed, and Model 1 was used as an example. Two groups of rats were injected with anti-upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) (experimental group) and 0.9% normal saline (control group), respectively. In vivo imaging was performed to determine the accuracy of the anti-UCNPs method. Results: There were 15 rats in the experimental group with obvious bladder swelling. Among them, 11 rats had cauliflower-like and partially brown bladder tumors, whereas the other four rats had hard, nodular-like protrusions, with indistinct borders and adhesions to the anterior wall of the rectum. Small papillary masses were observed in two rats, local mucosal thickening without tumor formation was observed in two rats, and bladder stones were observed in six rats.
