Gene expression profiling:Canonical molecular changes and clinicopathological features in sporadic colorectal cancers

瞄准：为了调查其他或辅助的小径，在颜色包含了表面的肿瘤发生和肿瘤生长，可能决定在风险人口并且预言回答到治疗。方法：用微数组基因表示分析，我们在 84 分散的颜色相对正规分子的变化和 clinicopathological 特征分析了基因表示的模式表面的癌症病人，由肿瘤地点标准化了。差别的子集表示了基因被即时反向抄本的聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR ) 证实。结果：作为差别正在被表示识别的基因的最大的数字由 lymphovascular 或肿瘤房间并且由失配修理(MMR ) 的神经侵略由肿瘤地点，和下一个最大的数字缺点。在生物过程之中，有免疫力的反应显著地在在颜色期间观察的全部分子的变化被含有表面的肿瘤发生(P 【 0.001 ) 。在 47 之中，差别表示了基因，(PISD， NIBP， BAI2， STOML1， MRPL21， MRPL16，和 MKKS ) 七最新被发现与肿瘤发生和肿瘤生长相关。最联系地点的分子的变化在基因表示上有不同效果，但是后者的效果有时是矛盾的。结论：我们证明几差别表示了基因在分散的颜色与正规分子的变化被联系表面的癌症，可能组成肿瘤发生的其他或辅助的小径。因为肿瘤地点是影响微分基因表示的主导的因素，地点特定的分析可以识别联系地点的小径并且提高班预言的精确性。

Clinical assessment and identification of immuno-oncology markers concerning the 19-gene based risk classifier in stage Ⅳ colorectal cancer

BACKGROUND Genomic profiling of tumors has contributed to the understanding of colorectal cancer(CRC), facilitating diagnosis, prognosis and selection of treatments,including targeted regimens. A report suggested that a 19-gene-based risk classifier(TCA19) was a prognostic tool for patients with stage III CRC. The survival outcomes in patients with stage IV CRC are still poor and appropriate selection of targeted therapies and immunotherapies is challenging.AIM To assess clinical implication of TCA19 in patients with stage IV CRC, and to identify TCA19 with involvement in immune-oncology.METHODS A retrospective review of the medical records of 60 patients with stage IV CRC was conducted, assessing clinicopathological variables and progression-free survival(PFS). TCA19 gene expression was determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) in matched normal and tumor tissues taken from the study cohort. Expression of potential immune-oncology regulatory proteins and targets was examined by immunohistochemistry(IHC), western blot, immunofluorescence staining in tissues from a validation cohort of 10 patients, and in CRC cell lines co-cultured with monocyte in vitro.RESULTS In the patients with TCA19 score higher than the median, the PFS rates of eight patients who received the targeted regimens were significantly higher than the PFS rates of four patients who received 5-fluorouracil-based regimen(P = 0.041).In multivariate analysis, expression of signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family, member 7(SLAMF7) and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1(TREM1) was associated with PFS in the 60-patient cohort. After checking another 10 validate set, the expression of the IHC, the level of real-time qPCR,and the level of western blot were lower for SLAMF7 and higher for TREM7 in primary and metastatic tumors than in normal tissues. In CRC cells expressing SLAMF7 that were co-cultured with a monocytic cell line, levels of CD 68 and CD73 were significantly lower at day 5 of co-culture than at day 0.CONCLUSION The TCA19 score might be prognostic for target-regimen-specific PFS in stage IV CRC. Down-regulation of SLAMF7 and up-regulation of TREM1 occur in primary and metastatic tumor tissues.

A novel off-on fluorescent probe for specific detection and imaging of cysteine in live cells and in vivo

Cysteine(Cys)plays a pivotal role in many physiological and pathological processes,including detoxification and protein synthesis.The abnormal levels of Cys are linked to many diseases.In this study,a novel red-emitting off-on fluorescent probe Cys-TCF was masterly constructed for discriminative detection of Cys.After a series of experimental assessment,Cys-TCF displayed higher selectivity and sensitivity for Cys over other biothilols with a low detection limit(0.04μmol/L).More notably,the probe was also successfully applied to image Cys in live cells and live zebrafishes with low cytotoxicity.

Small molecule fluorescent probes of protein vicinal dithiols

The vicinal dithiol motif is widely present in proteins, and is critical for proteins’ structures and functions.In recent years, a variety of fluorescent probes with high specificity and outstanding optical properties for sensing protein vicinal dithiols have been developed. In this review, we summarized the fluorescent probes of protein vicinal dithiols in literature. These probes are classified into four types based on their acceptor sites, i.e., biarsenical probes, monoarsenical probes, dimaleimide probes and diacrylate probes.Through analyzing the properties of different probes, we expect that this review would help readers further understand the structural factors of these probes and provide the design strategy for novel fluorescent probes with improved properties.
