Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumor in humans, especially in childhood. However, the genetic etiology for its pathogenesis remains elusive. It is known that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the development of tumor progression. Here we show that microRNA-9 (miR-9) is a potential oncogene upregulated in osteosarcoma cells. Knockdown of miR-9 in osteosarcoma resulted in suppressed colony formation and cell proliferation. Further study identified GCIP, a Grap2 and cyclin D interacting protein, as a direct target of miR-9. In addition, GCIP overexpression activated retinoblastoma 1 (Rb) and suppressed E2F transcriptional target expression in osteosarcoma cells. Moreover, GCIP depletion reversed miR-9 knockdown induced colony formation and cell proliferation suppression. In sum, these results highlight the importance of miR-9 as an oncogene in regulating the proliferation of osteosarcoma by directly targeting GCIP and may provide new insights into the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma.

Objective: To investigate whether the expression level of valosin-containing protein (VCP) is correlated with the prognosis of primary orbital mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Methods: VCP expression in 58 samples from primary orbital MALT lymphoma patients was determined by immunohistochemisty using monoclonal antibodies. Correlations between VCP expression level and prognosis were clarified by statistical analysis. Results: It was found that the percentage of VCP positive cells in samples of primary orbital MALT lymphoma ranged from 32% to 95%. The samples were divided into two groups (level 1 and level 2) according to the median value (45%) of the percentage of VCP positive cells. It was found that the expression level of VCP was significantly correlated with recurrence (P=0.003) and tumor size (P=0.008). At the same time, the 5-year disease-free and overall survival rate of patients of level 1 was significantly better than that of level 2 (P=0.001; P=0.032). There was no observed correlation between the expression level of VCP and other clinical features. Conclusion: VCP could be a useful marker for predicting the prognosis of primary orbital MALT lymphoma.
Expression and Role of ICAM-1 in the Occurrence and Development of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Zhu, Xi-Wen,Gong, Jian-Ping Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2013 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.14 No.3
Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, its main function being to participate in recognition and adhesion between cells. ICAM-1 is considered closely related to occurrence, development, metastasis and invasion process of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A variety of inflammatory cytokines and stimulus affect its expression through the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-${\kappa}B$) signal transduction pathway. In the initial stage of inflammation, hepatocirrhosis and tumor development, ICAM-1 is expressed differently, and has varied effects on different cells to promote occurrence of malignancy and metastasis. ICAM-1 has diagnostic significance for AFP-negative or suspected HCC, and may be a prognositic significance. It is thus widely used in studies as a biomarker which reflects cancer cells metastasis as well as curative effect of drugs. Many new treatments of HCC may be based on the effects of ICAM-1 on different levels of function.

Phosphorus (P) deficiency is one of the major factors that limit legume nodulation and nitrogen (N) fixation, and thus legume productivity. In our previous study, we showed that three T2 transgenic soybean lines overexpressing rice phosphate transporter gene OsPT2 showed enhanced tolerance to low P stress. This study aimed to determine whether OsPT2 overexpression would increase N2 fixation and ammonium assimilation in three T3 homozygous transgenic lines (HTLs) under P deficiency in pot culture. Under low inorganic phosphate (Pi) conditions, the P accumulation, total N and total ureide concentrations were significantly higher in the T3 HTLs than in the wild type (WT) plants. Further, the T3 HTLs showed significantly better plant growth performance and nodule development than the WT plants under low-Pi conditions. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis showed that the expression levels of GmENOD40-1, GmENOD40-2 (two early nodulin genes), and GmLba (one leghemoglobin gene) were significantly increased in T3 HTLs under P deficiency at 24 and 32 d after inoculation (DAI). The increased transcript levels of GmGS1β1 and GmGS1β2 (two cytosolic glutamine synthetase genes) in the T3 HTLs were consistent with the increase in glutamine synthetase (GS, EC 6.3.1.2) activity at 32 DAI. Our results indicated that the overexpression of OsPT2 in T3 HTLs enhances N2 fixation and ammonium assimilation activity under low P stress.

Percutaneous abscess drainage (PAD) has been proven to be a safe, effective, and widely used technique for the treatment of patients with abscesses after gastrointestinal surgery. The indications for PAD are expanding and most postoperative abscesses of the gastrointestinal tract are susceptible to PAD. PAD uses various imaging methods, including ultrasound, computed tomography, and several safe and reliable catheter insertion methods.

Pile-fermentation is a critical procedure for producing Chinese dark tea, during which thermophilic microorganisms would play an irreplaceable role. However, there have been little researches on the influences of thermophilic microorganism pile-fermentation (TMPF) in high-temperature of Chinese dark tea. Thus, we conducted high-performance liquid chromatography and nontargeted metabolomic to analyze the non-volatile metabolites of TMPF. Our results discovered that the amounts of ( −)-epigallocatechin gallate, ( −)-epigallocatechin, ( −)-epicatechin gallate, and ( −)-epicatechin were decreased significantly (p < 0.05) after TMPF. By using nontargeted metabolomic analysis, a total of 1733 ion features were detected. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that TMPF had a significant impact on caffeine metabolism. Also, theophylline, 3-methylxanthine, and 1,3,7-trimethyluric acid were increased significantly after TMPF, which suggested that demethylation and oxidation reaction might be the main pathways of caffeine metabolism. This study provides a better understanding of the mechanism of TMPF during high-temperature for Chinese dark tea and lays a foundation for further research.

Background: Males have a higher prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) than females in general, but the reasons for the sex disparity are still obscure. DNA copy number alteration (CNA) is a major feature of solid tumors including HCC, but whether CNA plays a role in sex-related differences in HCC development has never been evaluated. Methods: High-resolution array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was used to examine 17 female and 46 male HCC patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in Shanghai, China. Two-tailed Fisher's exact or ${\chi}^2$ tests was used to compare CNAs between females and males. Results: The overall frequencies and patterns of CNAs in female and male cases were similar. However, female HCC tumors presented more copy number gains compared to those in males on 1q21.3-q22 (76.5% vs. 37.0%, P = 0.009), 11q11 (35.3% vs. 0.0%, P = 0.0002) and 19q13.31-q13.32 (23.5% vs. 0.0%, P = 0.004), and loss on 16p11.2 (35.3% vs. 6.5%, P = 0.009). Relative to females, male cases had greater copy number loss on 11q11 (63.0% vs. 17.6%, P = 0.002). Further analyses showed that 11q11 gain correlated with 19q13.31-q13.32 gain (P = 0.042), 11q11 loss (P = 0.011) and 16p11.2 loss (P = 0.033), while 1q21.3-q22 gain correlated with 19q13.31-q13.32 gain (P = 0.046). Conclusions: These findings suggest that CNAs may play a role in sex-related differences in HBVassociated HCC development.
Self‐assembly of covalent porphyrin compound and its enhanced electrochemiluminescence performance

A novel Zn-coordination covalent porphyrin assembly (TCPP-BZA-Zn) is designed. The assembly structure is synthesized through the amidation reac- tion between the porphyrin terminal carboxyl group and the amino group of benzylamine (BZA), and further assembled through π–π stacking. In particular, the inherently ordered structure of TCPP-BZA-Zn with Zn as the catalytic active center endows the porphyrin assembly structure with several obvious advantages, such as high ion transport properties and high electrocatalytic per- formance. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide as a co-reaction reagent, TCPP-BZA-Zn/GCE showed excellent ECL behavior. The amplification phenome- non of ECL was further studied by cyclic voltammetry and the corresponding mechanism was proposed. Based on TCPP-BZA-Zn, an electrochemilumines- cence sensor was constructed for copper ion detection. The ECL intensity of the sensor shows a good linear relationship with the concentration of copper ion in the range of 10 nM–1 mM, and the detection limit is 1.3 nM.
