However, its relationship with prognosis in colon cancer and colon cancer hepatic metastasis has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between RBBP4 expression and prognosis of colon cancer patients and to evaluate RBBP4 as a new prognostic marker in these patients. Methods: Eighty colon cancer patients underwent surgical resection of the colon were enrolled. Among them, forty colon cancer patients suffered with hepatic metastasis. The colon cancer tissues, para-colon cancer tissues, and hepatic metastatic cancer tissues were collected from the pathological department for further analysis. The expression of RBBP4 proteins was examined by immunohistochemistry and correlated with clinicopathological parameters. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was used to validate the expression and explore its relationship with clinical characteristics. Results: RBBP4 was up-regulated in the colon cancer tissues compared with the para-colon cancer tissues. The analysis of TCGA database verified the upregulation of RBBP4 in the colon cancer tissues and RBBP4 overexpression was correlated with nerve invasion and poor outcomes of chemotherapy. Moreover, the positive rate of RBBP4 expression in 40 colon cancer patients with hepatic metastasis was higher in the hepatic metastatic cancer tissues (39/40, 97.5%) than in the colon cancer tissues (26/40, 65.0%). Our clinicopathological analysis showed that RBBP4 expression was significantly correlated with vascular invasion, hepatic metastasis, and lymph node involvement (all P < 0.05). Additionally, the survival analysis demonstrated that RBBP4 over-expression was correlated with poor prognosis. Conclusions: RBBP4 was upregulated in the colon cancer. RBBP4 may be a novel predictor for poor prognosis of colon cancer and colon cancer hepatic metastasis.展开更多

We aimed to investigate the correlation of RBP4 expression with atherosclerosis of the carotid artery in T2DM. A total of 1,076 subjects were investigated for intima-media thickness of the bilateral common carotid arteries, and they were divided into three groups： in group Ⅰ, patients had normal neck vascular ultra- sound, in group Ⅱ, intimal carotid artery media thickness was equal to or more than 1 mm, and in group Ⅲ, carotid artery plaque was present. Height, weight, blood pressure （BP）, fasting plasma glucose （FPG）, hemoglobin Alc （HbA1c）, total cholesterol （TC）, triglyceride （TG）, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）, high-density lipopro- tein cholesterol （HDL-C）, apolipoprotein A-1 （apoA-1）, apolipoprotein B （apoB） and lipoprotein （a） [Lp（a）] were determined by routine laboratory methods. RBP4 and high sensitivity C reactive protein （HsCRP） were measured by an enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay, and insulin concentration was measured by an electrochemiluminescence sandwich immunoassay. Duration of diabetes, waist and BP, FPG, HbAlc, TG, TC, LDL-C, APOB, Lp（a）, HsCRP, RBP4 and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index （HOMA-IR） were significantly lower in group I than in the other two groups （P〈0.01, P〈0.01）. Plasma levels of HbAlc, RBP4, LDL-C, TC, HOMA-IR, HsCRP and Lp（a）, waist and BP were significantly increased in group III than in group II （P〈0.01）. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that there were seven factors associated with the occurrence of carotid artery atherosclero- sis and its risks in descending order were： high LDL-C, high waist, high HsCRP, duration of diabetes, high HOMA-IR, HbAlc and high RBP4. Our finding supported that RBP4 was positively correlated with carotid atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM and could be used as an early predictor of cardiovascular disease.展开更多

Methods: TM4 cell line was used in this study as it exhibited properties similar to the Sertoli cells. TM4 Sertoli cells were exposed to G. brevis twig extract (0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 100.0, or 1000.0μg/mL) for 24, 48 and 72 h. Parameters studied included cell viability [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay], mitochondrial membrane potential (tetra methyl rhodamine ethyl ester dye), transepithelial electrical resistance, apoptosis (Annexin V Alexa Fluor?488/propidium iodide assay) and mRNA expression (quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction). Results: G. brevis twig extract had no cytotoxic impact on cell viability, thus, considerably increasing the activity of mitochondrial dehydrogenase enzyme after 24 and 72 h exposure. Transepithelial electrical resistance values revealed substantial (P<0.05) rise in treated groups, especially after 72 h of treatment. Moreover, there was a significant decrease in mitochondrial depolarization of TM4 Sertoli cells exposed to G. brevis twig extract when compared to controls. In addition, G. brevis twig extract significantly reduced necrosis and apoptosis of TM4 Sertoli cells when compared to control. Nevertheless, fluorescence microscopy revealed that the nuclei were egg-shaped and marked uniformly with consistent cell shape at the middle of the TM4 Sertoli cells. Significant stimulatory effects were observed on mRNA levels of inhibin-β, androgen binding protein and stem cell factor. Conclusions: G. brevis twig extract may increase the secretory roles of TM4 Sertoli cells, cells proliferation, as well as cell-cell tight junction integrity. Thus, G. brevis twig may enhance spermatogenesis.展开更多
