The study comprises 121 RA patients subjected to anti-TNF therapy genotyped for four VDR polymorphic variants: rs1544410 (<i>Bsm</i>I), rs2228570 (<i>Fok</i>I), rs731236 (<i>Taq</i>I), and rs7975232 (<i>Apa</i>I).

Traditional treatment methods such as chemotherapy often come with significant adverse effects, such as hearing loss, cognitive impairment, and vision loss. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore a novel therapeutic drug that is both effective and safe. S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a natural compound known to exhibit anti-proliferative effects in various cancer cell lines. However, to date, no studies investigated the effects of SAM on retinoblastoma cells and its potential mechanisms of action. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of SAM on retinoblastoma cells and explore its possible mechanisms of action, with the hope of providing new insights into the treatment of this disease. The optimal concentration of SAM was determined using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. The effect of SAM on retinoblastoma proliferation was assessed using the 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine cell proliferation assay. Y79 cells were subjected to hematoxylin and eosin stain and electron microscopy to observe any morphological changes induced by SAM. The stages of SAM's action on the retinoblastoma cell cycle and its apoptotic effects were measured using flow cytometry. The apoptotic effect of SAM on retinoblastoma was further confirmed using the TUNEL assay. Differential expression of related genes was detected through RT-PCR. <i>In vivo</i> subcutaneous tumor formation in nude mice and immunohistochemistry were employed to validate the effect of SAM on retinoblastoma-related phenotypes. Western blotting was conducted to investigate whether SAM modulated retinoblastoma-related phenotypes via the Wnt2/β-catenin pathway. SAM arrested the cell cycle of retinoblastoma at the G1 phase, induced apoptosis of retinoblastoma cells through the Wnt2/β-catenin pathway, and affected their morphology and even ultrastructure. In addition, <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> experiments demonstrated that SAM had an oncogenic effect on retinoblastoma. In this study, we verify <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> whether SAM inhibits the proliferation of retinoblastoma cell Y7, induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of Y79 cells by inhibiting the Wnt2/β-catenin pathway, and affects the morphology and structure of retinoblastoma cell Y79.</p>","PeriodicalId":8389,"journal":{"name":"Archivum Immunologiae et Therapiae Experimentalis","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142370862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A number of immune cells that affect joint tissues are involved in the pathogenesis of this disease. This leads to the synthesis of many pro-inflammatory mediators. The transport of drugs, as well as many cytokines involved in the development of inflammation in RA patients, is mediated by membrane transporters. Membrane transporters are proteins that mediate the transfer of substrates across biological membranes. But to date there are no studies examining the expression of solute carrier (SLC) transporters in joint tissues. The aim of the study was to evaluate the expression of individual SLC family transporters in the synovial membranes (SMs) and infrapatellar fat pad (Hoffa's pad) of RA patients. The study included 20 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 20 with osteoarthritis as the control group who were undergoing joint replacement surgery as a normal part of clinical care. In the SM and Hoffa's pad of RA patients the following 17 membrane transporters were defined at relevant expression levels for SLC transporter superfamily: <i>SLC15A2, SLC16A3, SLC19A1, SLC2A9, SLC22A1, SLC22A3, SLC22A4, SLC22A5, SLC22A18, SLC33A1, SLC47A1, SLC51A, SLC7A5, SLC7A6, SLC01C1, SLC02B1, SLC04A1</i>. The confirmed expression of these transporters in the SMs as well as Hoffa's pad of patients with RA and OA, and the differences in their expression between these groups, suggests the involvement of SLC transporters in both the maintenance of homeostasis under physiological conditions in the tissues of the joints, as well as in the inflammatory process in RA.</p>","PeriodicalId":8389,"journal":{"name":"Archivum Immunologiae et Therapiae Experimentalis","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141454825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
