As one of the most common chronic allergic diseases in children, the global incidence of AD has been on the rise in recent years, imposing a significant burden on the quality of life of affected children and the economic status of their families. Vitamin A, as an essential fat-soluble vitamin, not only participates in the visual cycle and maintains epithelial homeostasis but also plays a crucial role in the immune regulation of allergic diseases such as AD. Vitamin A deficiency exacerbates the progression of AD by enhancing type 2 helper T (Th2)-mediated inflammatory responses and mast cell activation, whereas exogenous vitamin A supplementation exerts a protective effect in the early stage of the disease. Vitamin A and its metabolites exert anti-inflammatory effects through multiple mechanisms: regulating mast cell; remodeling natural killer (NK) cell; inducing T cell differentiation; modulating the differentiation and function of innate lymphoid cell (ILC) and regulating the gut microbiota. In summary, vitamin A participates in AD-related immune regulation through multiple pathways, holding significant basic research value and promising clinical application prospects.

Studies have revealed that microRNA-21 (miR-21) is one of the most common oncogenes across various cancer types. However, the function of miR-21 in osteosarcoma has not been fully elucidated. This study aims to investigate the effect of miR-21 on the proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of osteosarcoma cell line MG63 and its underlying mechanisms. Methods Bioinformatics was used to predict the potential target genes of miR-21. The expression levels of miR-21 and programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) in osteosarcoma cell line MG63 were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. After the expression of miR-21 was regulated (either up-regulated or inhibited), its biological effects on cell viability, cell cycle progression and apoptosis were assessed. The targeting relationship between miR-21 and PDCD4 was verified by using dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Results Bioinformatics prediction showed that the 3'-UTR region of human PDCD4 gene contained multiple potential miRNA target sites. qRT-PCR results showed that the expression level of miR-21 in the pcDNA3.1-miR-21 group was significantly higher than that in the pcDNA3.1 group and the blank group. Compared with the blank group, up-regulation of miR-21 significantly promoted the proliferation and invasion of osteosarcoma MG63 cells, while inhibiting cell apoptosis. Luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that PDCD4 was a direct target gene of miR-21, and there was a negative correlation between miR-21 and PDCD4. Conclusion Up-regulation of miR-21 expression promotes proliferation and invasion while inhibiting apoptosis of osteosarcoma cell line MG63 by suppressing the level of endogenous PDCD4. In contrast, down-regulation of miR-21 expression inhibits proliferation and invasion while promoting apoptosis of osteosarcoma cell line MG63. Therefore, miR-21 functions as an oncogene in the development of osteosarcoma and could be a potential therapeutic target.</p>","PeriodicalId":61378,"journal":{"name":"细胞与分子免疫学杂志","volume":"42 4","pages":"307-315"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147790384","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}

Among them, the hypersensitivity reaction mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE) and mast cells is classified as type I hypersensitivity. Mast cells, which are widely distributed in the connective tissues and mucosal layers of various organs throughout the body, serve as key effector cells in type I hypersensitivity reactions. During this process, when mast cells encounter specific allergenic proteins again, IgE molecules bound to their surface cross-link with the allergens, triggering cell activation and degranulation. This leads to the release of histamine, cytokines, chemokines, as well as newly synthesized arachidonic acid metabolites and various proteins that regulate the type I hypersensitivity response.

The Con group was exposed to normal glucose concentration (5.5 mmol/L) for 48 hours; the osmotic control group was exposed to 5.5 mmol/L glucose and 49.5 mmol/L mannitol for 48 hours; the other groups were exposed to 55 mmol/L glucose for 48 hours to induce a DC model in vitro. 36 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a control group, a DC group and a DC+SB203580 group, with 12 rats in each group. At the 12th week, the lens of each group were analyzed histologically. Oxidative stress indicators like malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), ATP synthase activity, mitochondrial membrane potential analysis, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number were measured using commercial kits. The protein expression was analyzed using Western blot. Results Compared with the Con group, the HG group showed significantly increased levels of MDA and ROS, but significantly decreased levels of SOD, ATP synthase activity, mtDNA copy number and the JC-1 red/green (aggregate/monomer) ratio in LECs.
