Objective To investigate the effect of GRHL2 silencing on proliferation and apoptosis of lung cancer A549 cells. Methods Using RNA interference technology, the expression vector of GRHL2 silenced lentivirus was constructed to infect lung cancer A549 cells, the experiment was divided into the experimental group (GRHL2 silences the A549 cell line infected by lentivirus), the negative control group (the A549 cell line infected by no-load lentivirus), the blank control group (the A549 cell line without any treatment). The intensity of green fluorescent protein was observed by inverted fluorescence microscope, and the expression levels of GRHL2 mRNA and protein in lung cancer A549 cells were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot.Cell counting kit-8 was used to detect the effect of GRHL2 silencing on A549 cell proliferation.Annexin V-APC /PI reagents and flow analysis were used to analyze the effect of GRHL2 silencing on the apoptosis of A549 cells. Results The expression levels of GRHL2 mRNA and protein in the experimental group were significantly decreased than the negative control groupand blank control group (F=48.13, 42.57, both P<0.05), the proliferation ability of A549 cells was significantly decreased (F=65.64, P<0.05), and apoptosis was significantly increased (F=56.76, P<0.05). Conclusions Targeted silencing of GRHL2 can significantly inhibit the proliferation and promote apoptosis of lung cancer A549 cells, and GRHL2 is expected to become a new target for clinical lung cancer targeted therapy.

Objective To investigate the expression of long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) linc00261 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its clinical significance. Methods Included in 100 patients with NSCLC were admitted to Haikou Hospital Affiliated to Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University from February 2017 to September 2018 were enrolled in this study.Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of lncRNA linc00261 in cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of patients, and to analyze the relationship between the expression of lncRNA linc00261 and clinicopathological characteristics of patients.The expression plasmid of lncRNA linc00261 was designed and synthesized and transfected into A549 cells.The expression of lncRNA linc00261 in transfected cells was detected by qRT-PCR, the proliferation of transfected cells was detected by MTT, and the apoptosis of transfected cells was detected by flow cytometry. Results The results of qRT-PCR showed that the average relative expression of lncRNA linc0026 1 in cancer tissues of 100 NSCLC patients was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues (1.19±0.23), with statistical significance (t=7.753, P 0.05), but the relative expression of lncRNA linc00261 in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients with different tissue differentiation degree, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis had statistical significance (all P 0.05). After 48 hours, 72 hours and 96 hours of transfection, the cell proliferation of A549 cells transfected with the expression plasmid of lncRNA linc00261 was significantly lower than that of the negative control group and the blank control group (t=3.187, 5.549, both P<0.05). The results of flow cytometry showed that the apoptotic rate of A549 cells transfected with the expression plasmid of lncRNA linc00261 was significantly higher than that of the negative control group and the blank control group after 48 hours of transfection (χ2=4.175, 6.093, both P<0.05). Conclusions lncRNA linc00261 is down-regulated in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients and is related to the development of NSCLC.It may play an anti-oncogene role in NSCLC.Overexpression of lncRNA linc0026 can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of NSCLC cells, which may become a potential therapeutic target of NSCLC.

Objective To investigate the selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor nimesulide (NIM) and in combination with cisplatin (DDP) on A549 cells in nude mice transplanted tumor angiogenesis and its mechanism for the treatment oflung cancer in vivo. Methods Lung cancer A549 cells and established A549 lung xenografts in nude mice model.According to the method of random number table, the subjects were divided into four groups for drug intervention: control group, NIM group, DDP group, NIM+ DDP group, each group of 8, and the general state was observed.Mice were killed by cervical dislocation on 22nd days, then obtained tumor tissues, weighed tumor, measured tumor diameter and calculated tumor inhibition rate.To clarify the influence of nimesulide alone or in combination with cisplatin in A549 lung cancer xenograft tumor neovascularization, labeled microvessel with CD31 and counted microvessel density using microvessel counts.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of endovascular endothelial growth factor in lung cancer A549 in nude mice. Results In this study, a nude mouse model of lung cancer A549 was successfully constructed.The tumor volume of NIM+ DDP group increased more slowly than the other three groups on the 9th, 13th, 17th and 21st day (all P<0.001). Nim+ DDP group had the largest tumor inhibition rate.The microvessel density of NIM+ DDP group was lower than that of the other three groups (F=27.861, P<0.001). Conclusions The selective COX-2 inhibitors could inhibit angiogenesis, suggesting that selective COX-2 inhibitors have anti-tumor capabilities and may be used as a lung cancer targeted therapy.The selective COX-2 inhibitor combined with cisplatin had a more significant inhibitory effect on the expression of neovascularization factors and the growth of transplanted tumor in nude mice with lung cancer A549 cells.

Neutrophils are the most common inflammation cells in the human body and the most abundant cells in the tumor microenvironment.Normal neutrophils are derived from bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells, which have the function of clearing pathogens and tissue repair.However, In the tumor background, the subpopulations of neutrophils can transform to Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which is a kind of immature neutrophils with strong immunosuppressive effects.Circulating MDSCs inhibit the anti-tumor immunity of T lymphocytes by producing reactive oxygen species and arginase, and release neutrophil extracellular traps to promote tumor cell transport in blood.MDSCs in tumor tissues inhibit T lymphocytes function by expressing PD-L1, and can also release vascular endothelial growth factor to promote angiogenesis, release metal matrix protease to induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition, thereby aggravating tumor progression.Neutrophils play an important role in the development of tumorigenesis.This article reviews the origin of neutrophils and the mechanism by which neutrophils promote tumor progression in circulation and tumor tissues.

Objective To explore the clinical manifestations, treatment and prognosis of pulmonaryinvasive fungal infection in children. Methods The clinical, imaging, laboratory examination, treatment and prognosis of 93 children with pulmonary invasive fungal infection that were to be diagnosed or confirmed in the Department of Pediatrics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, from January 2012 to August 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 93 fungal patients, 64 were male and 29 were female, with an age of (55.18±5.38) months, ranging from one month to 15 years, and a median age of 32 months.The average length of stay was 25.4 days, and the median length of stay was 23 days.The clinical manifestations of all patients were nonspecific, including fever, cough, expectoration, shortness of breath and dyspnea.The pulmonary imaging features were diverse, mainly including slightly thickened / increased lung texture, spot or patchy fuzzy shadow between the textures, accompanied by pulmonary consolidation, diffuse nodular change, etc.Bronchiectasis and mediastinal lymph node were rare.Among the 93 patients, 41 cases (44.1%) were positive for fungal culture in blood / deep sputum, and 22 cases (53.6%) were positive for Candida, two kinds of fungi were cultured in some patients at the same time.72 cases(77.4%) were effective in antifungal therapy, eight cases (8.6%) were abandoned because of basic diseases, six cases (6.5%) were transferred to other hospital, senven cases (7.5%) died.Among them, 41 cases (44.1%) were treated with voriconazole alone or in combination, 38 cases (92.7%) were effective, and three cases (7.3%) died. Conclusions Children with pulmonary invasive fungal infection are more likely to occur in children with serious underlying diseases.Their clinical and imaging manifestations are nonspecific.The mortality and prognosis are closely related to host factors, environmental factors and antifungal treatment.The use of voriconazole antifungal treatment can effectively reduce the mortality of children with pulmonary fungal infection.

Objective To investigate the possible associations of oxidative damage and serum chemokines, IFN-γ-inducible protein-10 (IP-10), Regulated on activation normal T-cell-expressed and secreted (Rantes) in lung cancer patients. Methods Blood samples were collected from 52 lung cancer patients as lung cancer group, 34 chronic bronchitis patients as the ratio of group and 20 healthy controls as healthy control group Who were admitted to the department of geriatrics of Dongying district people′s hospital from February 2018 to February 2019.The activities of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured by xanthine oxidase method, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected by thiobarbituric acid colorimetric method (TBA) and the serum levels of IFN-γ-inducible protein-10 (IP-10), regulated on activation normal T-cell-expressed and secreted (Rantes) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Linear correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlationship. Results The activities of serum SOD were significantly lower in lung cancer group compared to the ratio of group and healthy control group (F=29.681, P<0.05). while the levels of MDA were significantly higher in lung cancer group compared to the ratio of group and healthy control group (F=61.151, P<0.05). In addition, the activities of SOD were correlated to clinical stages in patients with lung cancerⅠ~Ⅳ period, the difference was statistically significant (F=11.734, P<0.05). The levels of IP-10 and Rantes were higher in lung cancer group than the ratio of group and healthy control group (F=22.115, 13.181, P<0.05). The levels of IP-10 and Rantes were negatively correlated with the activities of SOD (r=-0.309, -0.376, P=0.017, 0.034), while positively correlated with the levels of MDA (r=0.357, P=0.021). Conclusions Strong associations were found between chemokines and oxidative stress which participated in the pathogenesis of lung cancer.
