BACKGROUND The diagnostic value of combined methylated branched chain amino acid transaminase 1(BCAT1)/IKAROS family zinc finger 1(IKZF1)in plasma for colorectal cancer(CRC)has been explored since 2015.Recently,several related studies have published their results and showed its diagnostic efficacy.AIM To analyze the diagnostic value of methylated BCAT1/IKZF1 in plasma for screening and postoperative follow-up of CRC.METHODS The candidate studies were identified by searching the PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,CNKI,and Wanfang databases from May 31,2003 to June 1,2023.Sensitivity,specificity,and diagnostic accuracy were calculated by merging ratios or means.RESULTS Twelve eligible studies were included in the analysis,involving 6561 participants.The sensitivity of methylated BCAT1/IKZF1 in plasma for CRC diagnosis was 60%[95%confidence interval(CI)53-67]and specificity was 92%(95%CI:90-94).The positive and negative likelihood ratios were 8.0(95%CI:5.8-11.0)and 0.43(95%CI:0.36-0.52),respectively.Diagnostic odds ratio was 19(95%CI:11-30)and area under the curve was 0.88(95%CI:0.85-0.91).The sensitivity and specificity for CRC screening were 64%(95%CI:59-69)and 92%(95%CI:91-93),respectively.The sensitivity and specificity for recurrence detection during follow-up were 54%CONCLUSION The detection of methylated BCAT1/IKZF1 in plasma,as a non-invasive detection method of circulating tumor DNA,has potential CRC diagnosis,but the clinical application prospect needs to be further explored.

Comparative Studies on Degradation of Methyl Orange by Nanostructured Zinc and Zinc Oxide Films

Nanostructured zinc and zinc oxide films were prepared by magnetron sputtering processes and succeeded air annealing treatments. Comparison of reductive degradation rate of methyl orange （MO） by zinc films and photocatalytic degradation rate of MO by zinc oxide films was carried out. Both reductive degradation and photocatalytic degradation process of MO by zinc and zinc oxide films can be described by first order kinetic model. It was found that although MO liquid was most quickly decolorized by metallic zinc films, the mineraliza- tion of MO was not thorough. Observation of extra ultraviolet absorption peaks indicated the formation of aromatic intermediates. On the other hand, although the photocatalytic degradation rate of MO liquid by ZnO films was only as about 1/4 large as the reductive degradation rate by zinc films, no signs of aromatic intermediates were found. Moreover, it was found that partially oxidized zinc oxide film showed higher photocatalytic efficiency than the totally oxidized ZnO films. Synergy effect between zinc and zinc oxide phase in the partially oxidized films was considered to be responsible for the higher photocatalytic efficiency.

Visible Light-induced Photoluminescence of a Zinc(Ⅱ) Complex of N-methyl-4,4-bipyridinium Cation

Compounds with visible-light-induced photoluminescence are particularly attractive in acting as the emitting components of light-emitting diodes and fluorescent probes for biological applications. A new complex [Zn(NCS)_3(MQ)](MQ^+ = N-methyl-4,4?-bipyridinium) with an isolated molecular structure has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and solid-state photoluminescent determination. Crystal data: C_(14)H_(11)N_5S_3Zn, M_r = 410.83, monoclinic, space group P2_1/c, a = 8.809(5), b = 13.138(7), c = 15.580(9) ?, b = 104.433(10)°, V = 1746.2(17) ?~3, Z = 4, D–c = 1.563 g×cm^3, μ = 1.769 mm^(–1), F(000) = 832, the final R = 0.0376 and wR = 0.1243 for 2850 observed reflections with I > 2s(I). In the crystal structure, the zinc atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by one MQ+ ligand and three NCS– groups to yield a tetrahedral configuration. The bond length of Zn–NMQ is clearly shorter than those found in reported Zn(Ⅱ) complexes of 4,4?-bipy. The isolated units are joined by C–H···S interactions to generate a 2D hydrogen-bonding network. This compound displays visible light-induced photoluminescence, which originates from both intraligand charge-transfer of the MQ+ ligand and NCS~–→MQ^+ charge-transfer according to a density of states(DOS) calculation. Moreover, its emission band shows a clear blue shift compared with those of halide compounds.

Silencing SMYD3 in hepatoma demethylates RIZI promoter induces apoptosis and inhibits cell proliferation and migration

AIM： To investigate the role of SMYD3 in hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） development and progression and to verify whether its regulation activity was through RIZ1 inactivation. METHODS： Expression of SMYD3 in HCC cell lines and tissues were measured; silencing of SMYD3 by RNA interference （RNAi） was effectuated, hepatoma cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis were tested, with RIZl CpG promoter methylation, and corresponding mRNA expression were investigated. RESULTS： SMYD3 over-expression in HCC was associated with RIZl hypermethylation and mRNA down-expression. Suppression of SMYD3 expression de- methylated RIZl CpG promoter （P 〈 0.01） and increased RIZl mRNA expression （P 〈 0.01）. Consequently, SMYD3 down-expression with RIZl de-methylation strongly inhibited hepatoma cell growth （MTT inhibitory rates： Pgenesil-1-s1 60.95%± 7.97%, Pgenesil-1-s2 72.14% ± 9.68% vs Pgenesil-1-hk 6.89% ± 4.12%, P 〈 0.01） and migration （Pgenesil-1-s1 4.24% ± 1.58%, Pgenesil- 1-s1 4.87% ± 0.73% vs Pgenesil-1 19.03% ± 4.63%, Pgenesil-1-hk 19.95% ±5.21%, P 〈 0.01） and induced apoptosis （FCM subG1 phase Pgenesil-1-s1 19.07% ＋ 1.78%, Pgenesil-1-s2 17.68% ± 2.36% vs Pgenesil-1 0.47% ± 0.12%, Pgenesil-1-hk 1.46% ± 0.28%, P 〈 0.01. TUNEL-positive cells： Pgenesil-1-s1 40.24%± 5.18%, Pgenesil-1-s2 38.48% ± 4.65% vs Pgenesil-1 2.1B% - 1.34%, Pgenesil-1-hk 2.84%± 1.22%, P 〈 0.01） in HepG2 cells. CONCLUSION： These results demonstrate that SMYD3plays a critical role in the carcinogenesis and progression of HCC, The proliferation, migration induction and apoptosis inhibition activities of SMYD3 may be mediated through RIZl CpG promoter hypermethylation.

Study on RIZ1 gene promoter methylation status in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

AIM： To investigate the promoter region methylation status of retinoblastoma protein-interacting zinc finger gene 1 （RIZ1） in the human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma （ESCC） cell lines and tissues and verify the relationship between methylation of RIZ1 and oncogen- esis, tumor progression and metastasis etc of ESCC. METHODS： Methylation-specific polymerase chain reac- tion （MSP） was used to investigate the promoter region methylation status of RIZ1 in 6 ESCC cell lines. One cell line where RIZ1 promoter region methylation was de- tected was selected for the next study, where the cell line was treated with 5-aza-CdR. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to investigate its influence on the transcription of RIZ1. Experiments using frozenpathological specimens from 47 ESCC patients were performed using the same MSP methodology. RESULTS： Promoter methylation of RIZ1 gene was detected in TEl3, CaEs17 and EC109 cell lines and the cell line TEl3 was chosen for further study. The expression of RIZl mRNA in TE-13 was up-regulated after treatment with 5-aza-CdR. The rate of methyla- tion in carcinomas tissues was significantly higher than those in matched neighboring normal and distal ending normal tissue, and the deviation of data was statisti- cally significant （2,2 = 24.136, P 〈 0.01）. Analysis of the gender, age familial history, tumour deviation, tumour saturation, lymph gland displacement and clinical stag- ing of 47 samples from ESCC patients showed that the fluctuation of data was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION： Promoter methylation may play an im- portant role in the epigenetic silencing of RIZ1 gene expression in human ESCC. RIZ1 is considered to be a potential tumor suppressor gene and may be a biologi- cal parameter for testing early stage human ESCC.
