Inorganic phosphate (Pi) plays a critical role in diverse cellular functions, and regulating the Pi balance is accomplished by sodium-dependent Pi co-transporter (NPT). Pulmonary NPT has recently been identified in mammalian lungs. However, to date, many of the studies that have involved Pi have mainly focused on its effect on bone and kidney. Therefore, current study was performed to discover the potential effects of low Pi on the lung of developing transgenic mice expressing the renilla/firefly luciferase dual reporter gene. Two-weeks old male mice divided into 2 groups and these groups were fed either a low PI diet or a normal control diet (normal: 0.5% Pi, low: 0.1% Pi) for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of the diet, all the mice were sacrificed. Their lungs were harvested and analyzed by performing luciferase assay, Western blotting, kinase assay and immunohistochemistry. Our results demonstrate that low Pi affects the lungs of developing mice by disturbing protein translation, the cell cycle and the expression of fibroblast growth factor-2. These results suggest that optimally regulating Pi consumption may be important to maintain health.

<P>RATIONALE: The low efficiency of conventional therapies in achieving long-term survival of patients with lung cancer calls for the development of novel therapeutic options. Recent advances in aerosol-mediated gene delivery have provided the possibility of an alternative for the safe and effective treatment of lung cancer. OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate the feasibility and emphasize the importance of noninvasive aerosol delivery of Akt1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) as an effective and selective option for lung cancer treatment. METHODS: Nanosized poly(ester amine) polymer was synthesized and used as a gene carrier. An aerosol of poly(ester amine)/Akt1 siRNA complex was delivered into K-ras(LA1) and urethane-induced lung cancer models through a nose-only inhalation system. The effects of Akt1 siRNA on lung cancer progression and Akt-related signals were evaluated. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The aerosol-delivered Akt1 siRNA suppressed lung tumor progression significantly through inhibiting Akt-related signals and cell cycle. CONCLUSIONS: The use of poly(ester amine) serves as an effective carrier, and aerosol delivery of Akt1 siRNA may be a promising approach for lung cancer treatment and prevention.</P>

The aim of this study was to investigate protein profiles related to the induction of adipogenesis within the bovine longissimus dorsi muscle (BLDM) by proteomic analysis. We analyzed BLDM proteins at different growth stages to clarify the physiological mechanisms of marbled muscle development in 20 head of Korean native cattle (11 month: 10 head, 17 month: 10 head). BLDM proteins were analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis and image analysis. Villin 2 was specifically identified by mass spectrometry and a protein search engine. Villin 2 protein expression in BLDM decreased during the fat development stage in test steers. In a Western blot cell culture study of spontaneously immortal bovine muscle fibroblasts, the abundance of Villin 2 was shown to be down-regulated during differentiation into muscle. In 3T3-L1 mouse embryonic fibroblasts, Villin 2 was decreased during differentiation into adipocytes. The results suggest that Villin 2 may be related to the induction of transdifferentiation and adipogenesis in bovine longissimus dorsi muscle. [BMB reports 2012; 45(2): 102-107].

A precise real-time method of using the IGS ultra rapid products (IGU) and the GPS broadcast ephemeris to calculate the VRS orbit corrections was presented here which was suited for GPS/VRS reference station network based positioning. Test data acquired from both the SGRSN (Sichuan GPS Reference Station Network) and SCIGN (Southern California integrated GPS network) were used to evaluate the performance of the modeling techniques. The new method was proven to be more precise and reliable compared with the existing conventional network-based orbit error interpolation method. It was shown that 0.004ppm relative accuracy was reached, namely the influence from the orbit bias for the RTK positioning within 100km area can be of sub-millimeter level.

<P>RATIONALE: Phosphate (Pi) is an essential nutrient to living organisms. Recent surveys indicate that the intake of Pi has increased steadily. Our previous studies have indicated that elevated Pi activates the Akt signaling pathway. An increased knowledge of the response of lung cancer tissue to high dietary Pi may provide an important link between diet and lung tumorigenesis. OBJECTIVES: The current study was performed to elucidate the potential effects of high dietary Pi on lung cancer development. METHODS: Experiments were performed on 5-week-old male K-ras(LA1) lung cancer model mice and 6-week-old male urethane-induced lung cancer model mice. Mice were fed a diet containing 0.5% Pi (normal Pi) and 1.0% Pi (high Pi) for 4 weeks. At the end of the experiment, all mice were killed. Lung cancer development was evaluated by diverse methods. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS: A diet high in Pi increased lung tumor progression and growth compared with normal diet. High dietary Pi increased the sodium-dependent inorganic phosphate transporter-2b protein levels in the lungs. High dietary consumption of Pi stimulated pulmonary Akt activity while suppressing the protein levels of tumor suppressor phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 as well as Akt binding partner carboxyl-terminal modulator protein, resulting in facilitated cap-dependent protein translation. In addition, high dietary Pi significantly stimulated cell proliferation in the lungs of K-ras(LA1) mice. CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed that high dietary Pi promoted tumorigenesis and altered Akt signaling, thus suggesting that careful regulation of dietary Pi may be critical for lung cancer prevention as well as treatment.</P>

The electromagnetic anomaly observations before earthquake, have been confirmed by many cases of strong earthquakes. The analysis of earthquake magnetic anomaly is an effective approach for seismo-precursor detection. Traditional frequent mining methods for electromagnetic matrix datasets analysis often find the co-related items. However, these methods may miss the items which are differential co-related patters under different datasets. Mining these differential co-related patterns is more valuable for inferring potential knowledge. In this paper, we develop an algorithm, MSPattern, to mine maximal subspace differential co-expression patterns. MSPattern constructs a weighted undirected item-item relational graph firstly. Then all the maximal co-related patterns would be mined using item-growth method in above graph. MSPattern also utilizes several techniques for producing maximal patterns without candidate patterns maintenance. Evaluated by real electromagnetic matrix datasets and the gene expression datasets, the experimental results show our algorithm can find some potential knowledge for earthquake analysis, and MSPattern algorithm is more efficient than traditional ones. The performance of MSPattern is also evaluated by empirical p-value and gene ontology, the results show our algorithm can find statistical significant and biological differential co-expression patterns.

Background: Phototherapy is an important method to treat vitiligo. However, it is unclear how phototherapy affects melanocyte precursors and skin neural crest stem cells. Objective: To investigate the underlying mechanisms of narrow- band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) induced melanocyte lineage differentiated from human scalp-derived neural crest stem cells (HS-NCSCs). Methods: HS-NCSCs were expanded from scalp hair follicles. The c-Kit<sup>-</sup>/CD57<sup>-</sup> HS-NCSCs were isolated by cell sorting. Different doses of NB-UVB were used to irradiate these HS-NCSCs. Cell ultrastructure was examined by transmission electron microscope. Melanocyte marker expression was analyzed by Quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot. Cell proliferation and migration were also evaluated. Results: The c-Kit<sup>-</sup>/CD57<sup>-</sup> HS-NCSCs expressed embryonic NCSC biomarkers. NB-UVB at a dose of 100 mJ of NB-UVB had little effect on the cell proliferation of differentiated melanocytes from c-Kit<sup>-</sup>/CD57<sup>-</sup> HS-NCSCs, while 700 mJ inhibited cell proliferation significantly. The dendritic processes of differentiated melanocytes increased after radiation. The tyrosinase and Melanocortin 1 receptor (Mc1R) expression of differentiated melanocytes increased after NB-UVB exposure. The effect of NB-UVB on tyrosinase expression was modulated by signaling inhibitors H89 and PD98059 as well as Mc1R level in the cells. The migration ability of differentiated melanocytes was enhanced under 100 mJ exposure. Conclusion: These data demonstrate that NB-UVB facilitates melanocytic differentiation of the HSNCSCs and enhances migration of these cells. Mc1R and cAMP pathway play a critical role in NB-UVB induced melanocytic differentiation. (Ann Dermatol 32(4) 289∼297, 2020)

Zhou, Hang,Li, Xiong,Zhang, Yuan,Jia, Yao,Hu, Ting,Yang, Ru,Huang, Ke-Cheng,Chen, Zhi-Lan,Wang, Shao-Shuai,Tang, Fang-Xu,Zhou, Jin,Chen, Yi-Le,Wu, Li,Han, Xiao-Bing,Lin, Zhong-Qiu,Lu, Xiao-Mei,Xing, H Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2015 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.16 No.9
Background: This study aimed to establish a nomogram by combining clinicopathologic factors with overall survival of stage IA-IIB cervical cancer patients after complete resection with pelvic lymphadenectomy. Materials and Methods: This nomogram was based on a retrospective study on 1,563 stage IA-IIB cervical cancer patients who underwent complete resection and lymphadenectomy from 2002 to 2008. The nomogram was constructed based on multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazard regression. The accuracy and discriminative ability of the nomogram were measured by concordance index (C-index) and calibration curve. Results: Multivariate analysis identified lymph node metastasis (LNM), lymph-vascular space invasion (LVSI), stromal invasion, parametrial invasion, tumor diameter and histology as independent prognostic factors associated with cervical cancer survival. These factors were selected for construction of the nomogram. The C-index of the nomogram was 0.71 (95% CI, 0.65 to 0.77), and calibration of the nomogram showed good agreement between the 5-year predicted survival and the actual observation. Conclusions: We developed a nomogram predicting 5-year overall survival of surgically treated stage IA-IIB cervical cancer patients. More comprehensive information that is provided by this nomogram could provide further insight into personalized therapy selection.

<P>Previously we reported that cadalene extracted from Zelkova serrata inhibited lung tumorigenesis in mice. However, the precise mechanism has not yet investigated. Here, we examined the effects of cadalene on signal pathways important for apoptosis, cell cycle, and protein translation in lung cancer cells. Our results showed that cadalene suppressed the expression of Akt and its phosphor-forms through controlling PI3K and PTEN. Cadalene also induced apoptosis through facilitating pro-apoptotic protein expression. In addition, cadalene caused cell cycle arrest and decreased mTOR-mediated protein translation. Taken together, cadalene may be developed as a lung cancer therapeutic agent in the future.</P>

Park, Sungjin,Minai-Tehrani, Arash,Xu, Cheng-Xiong,Chang, Seung-Hee,Woo, Min-Ah,Noh, Mi-Suk,Lee, Eun-Sun,Lim, Hwang-Tae,An, Gil-Hwan,Lee, Kee-Ho,Sung, Ha-Jung,Beck, George R,Cho, Myung-Haing D. A. Spandidos 2010 MOLECULAR MEDICINE REPORTS Vol.3 No.6
<P>Let-7g miRNAs, short non-coding RNAs approximately 21 nucleotides long, repress protein translation by binding to the 3'UTR of target mRNAs. Aberrant expression of let-7g is associated with the poor prognosis of lung cancer patients. Compared to normal lung cells, let-7g expression is absent in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Furthermore, K-Ras and HMGA2 are well known as targets of let-7g. In this study, we evaluated the potential role of precursor (pre)-let-7g in lung cancer cell metastasis, focusing on the two targets of let-7g, HMGA2 and K-Ras. We found that pre-let-7g inhibited the migration of A549 lung cancer cells through HMGA2-mediated E2F1 down-regulation. Thus, our results suggest that pre-let-7g could be used as a suitable target for the suppression of lung cancer cell migration.</P>
