Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) poses a significant challenge due to its high heterogeneity and aggressiveness. Recognizing the urgency to delineate molecular subtypes, our study focused on the emerging field of lipid metabolism remodeling in PDAC, particularly exploring the prognostic potential and molecular classification associated with fatty acid biosynthesis.

Methods: Gene set variation analysis (GSVA) and single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) were performed to evaluate the dysregulation of lipid metabolism in PDAC. Univariate cox analysis and the LASSO module were used to build a prognostic risk score signature. The distinction of gene expression in different risk groups was explored by the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis and Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA). The biological function of Acyl-CoA Synthetase Long Chain Family Member 5 (ACSL5), a pivotal gene within 7-hub gene signature panel, was validated through in vitro assays.

Results: Our study identified a 7-hub gene signature associated with fatty acid biosynthesis-related genes (FRGs), providing a robust tool for prognosis prediction. The high-FRGs score group displayed a poorer prognosis, decreased immune cell infiltration, and a higher tumor mutation burden. Interestingly, this group exhibited enhanced responsiveness to various compounds according to the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) database. Notably, ACSL5 was upregulated in PDAC and essential for tumor progression.

Conclusion: In conclusion, our research defined two novel fatty acid biosynthesis-based subtypes in PDAC, characterized by distinct transcriptional profiles. These subtypes not only served as prognostic indicator, but also offered valuable insights into their metastatic propensity and therapeutic potential.

目的:胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)具有高度异质性和侵袭性,是一项重大挑战。认识到划分分子亚型的紧迫性,我们的研究聚焦于 PDAC 脂质代谢重塑这一新兴领域,尤其是探索与脂肪酸生物合成相关的预后潜力和分子分类:方法:采用基因组变异分析(GSVA)和单样本基因组富集分析(ssGSEA)评估 PDAC 的脂质代谢失调。利用单变量Cox分析和LASSO模块建立了预后风险评分特征。通过基因本体(GO)和京都基因组百科全书(KEGG)富集分析以及加权基因共表达网络分析(WGCNA),探讨了不同风险组的基因表达差异。通过体外实验验证了7-hub基因特征面板中的关键基因--乙酰辅酶长链家族成员5(ACSL5)的生物学功能:我们的研究发现了一个与脂肪酸生物合成相关基因(FRGs)相关的7-hub基因特征,为预后预测提供了一个强有力的工具。高FRGs得分组预后较差,免疫细胞浸润减少,肿瘤突变负荷较高。有趣的是,根据癌症药物敏感性基因组学(GDSC)数据库,这组患者对各种化合物的反应性更强。值得注意的是,ACSL5在PDAC中上调,对肿瘤进展至关重要:总之,我们的研究定义了两种基于脂肪酸生物合成的新型 PDAC 亚型,它们具有不同的转录特征。这些亚型不仅可作为预后指标,还为了解其转移倾向和治疗潜力提供了有价值的见解。

Objectives: Previously, Interferon-induced Protein with Tetratricopeptide Repeats 1 (IFIT1) has been shown to promote cancer development. Here, we aimed to explore the role of IFIT1 in the development and progression of pancreatic cancer, including the underlying mechanisms.

Methods: We explored IFIT1 expression in pancreatic cancer samples using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8), colony formation, scratch wound-healing and Transwell assays were performed to assess the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of pancreatic cancer cells. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and Western blotting were performed to assess the regulatory effect of IFIT1 on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Results: We found that upregulation of IFIT1 expression is common in pancreatic cancer and is negatively associated with overall patient survival. Knockdown of IFIT1 expression led to decreased proliferation, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells. We also found that IFIT1 could regulate Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and that a Wnt/β-catenin agonist could reverse this effect. In addition, we found that IFIT1 can promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of pancreatic cancer cells.

Conclusions: Our data indicate that IFIT1 increases pancreatic cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. In addition, we found that EMT could be regulated by IFIT1. IFIT1 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.

研究目的以前的研究表明,具有四肽重复序列的干扰素诱导蛋白1(IFIT1)可促进癌症的发展。在此,我们旨在探索 IFIT1 在胰腺癌发生和发展中的作用,包括其潜在机制:我们利用癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)和基因表达总库(GEO)数据集探讨了胰腺癌样本中 IFIT1 的表达。通过细胞计数试剂盒-8(CCK8)、集落形成、划痕伤口愈合和Transwell试验来评估胰腺癌细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭能力。基因组富集分析(Gene Set Enrichment Analysis,GSEA)和Western印迹法评估了IFIT1对Wnt/β-catenin通路的调控作用:结果:我们发现IFIT1表达上调在胰腺癌中很常见,并且与患者的总生存率呈负相关。抑制 IFIT1 的表达可减少胰腺癌细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭。我们还发现,IFIT1 可以调节 Wnt/β-catenin 信号转导,而 Wnt/β-catenin 激动剂可以逆转这种效应。此外,我们还发现IFIT1能促进胰腺癌细胞的上皮-间质转化(EMT):我们的数据表明,IFIT1 可通过激活 Wnt/β-catenin 通路增加胰腺癌细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭。此外,我们还发现 IFIT1 可调控 EMT。IFIT1 可作为胰腺癌的潜在治疗靶点。

Background: Cancer immunotherapy provides durable response and improves survival in a subset of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) patients, which may due to discriminative tumor microenvironment (TME). Epigenetic regulations play critical roles in HNSC tumorigenesis, progression, and activation of functional immune cells. This study aims to identify an epigenetic signature as an immunophenotype indicator of durable clinical immunotherapeutic benefits in HNSC patients.

Methods: Unsupervised consensus clustering approach was applied to distinguish immunophenotypes based on five immune signatures in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) HNSC cohort. Two immunophenotypes (immune 'Hot' and immune 'Cold') that had different TME features, diverse prognosis, and distinct DNA methylation patterns were recognized. Immunophenotype-related methylated signatures (IPMS) were identified by the least absolute shrinkage and selector operation algorithm. Additionally, the IPMS score by deconvolution algorithm was constructed as an immunophenotype classifier to predict clinical outcomes and immunotherapeutic response.

Results: The 'Hot' HNSC immunophenotype had higher immunoactivity and better overall survival (p = 0.00055) compared to the 'Cold' tumors. The immunophenotypes had distinct DNA methylation patterns, which was closely associated with HNSC tumorigenesis and functional immune cell infiltration. 311 immunophenotype-related methylated CpG sites (IRMCs) was identified from TCGA-HNSC dataset. IPMS score model achieved a strong clinical predictive performance for classifying immunophenotypes. The area under the curve value (AUC) of the IPMS score model reached 85.9% and 89.8% in TCGA train and test datasets, respectively, and robustness was verified in five HNSC validation datasets. It was also validated as an immunophenotype classifier for predicting durable clinical benefits (DCB) in lung cancer patients who received anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy (p = 0.017) and TCGA-SKCM patients who received distinct immunotherapy (p = 0.033).

Conclusions: This study systematically analyzed DNA methylation patterns in distinct immunophenotypes to identify IPMS with clinical prognostic potential for personalized epigenetic anticancer approaches in HNSC patients. The IPMS score model may serve as a reliable epigenome prognostic tool for clinical immunophenotyping to guide immunotherapeutic strategies in HNSC.

背景:癌症免疫疗法为部分头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSC)患者提供了持久的应答并提高了生存率,这可能是由于肿瘤微环境(TME)的鉴别作用。表观遗传调控在头颈部鳞状细胞癌的肿瘤发生、进展和功能性免疫细胞的激活过程中发挥着关键作用。本研究旨在确定表观遗传特征,作为HNSC患者获得持久临床免疫治疗效果的免疫表型指标:方法:采用无监督共识聚类方法,根据癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)HNSC队列中的五个免疫特征区分免疫表型。研究发现,两种免疫表型(免疫 "热 "型和免疫 "冷 "型)具有不同的TME特征、不同的预后和不同的DNA甲基化模式。免疫表型相关甲基化特征(IPMS)是通过最小绝对缩减和选择器操作算法确定的。此外,通过解卷积算法得出的IPMS得分被构建为免疫表型分类器,用于预测临床结果和免疫治疗反应:结果:与 "冷 "肿瘤相比,"热 "HNSC免疫表型具有更高的免疫活性和更好的总生存率(p = 0.00055)。免疫表型具有不同的DNA甲基化模式,这与HNSC肿瘤发生和功能性免疫细胞浸润密切相关。从 TCGA-HNSC 数据集中发现了 311 个免疫表型相关的甲基化 CpG 位点(IRMCs)。IPMS 评分模型对免疫表型的分类具有很强的临床预测性能。在 TCGA 训练数据集和测试数据集中,IPMS 评分模型的曲线下面积值(AUC)分别达到了 85.9% 和 89.8%,其稳健性在五个 HNSC 验证数据集中得到了验证。该模型还被验证为一种免疫表型分类器,可预测接受抗PD-1/PD-L1免疫疗法的肺癌患者的持久临床获益(DCB)(p = 0.017)和接受不同免疫疗法的TCGA-SKCM患者的持久临床获益(p = 0.033):本研究系统分析了不同免疫分型中的DNA甲基化模式,以确定具有临床预后潜力的IPMS,为HNSC患者的个性化表观遗传抗癌方法提供依据。IPMS评分模型可作为临床免疫分型的可靠表观基因组预后工具,指导HNSC的免疫治疗策略。

Purpose: The recent focus on the roles of N-linked glycoproteins in carcinogenesis across various malignancies has prompted our exploration of aberrantly expressed glycoproteins responsible for HCC progression and potential therapeutic strategy.

Methods: Mass spectrometry was applied to initially identify abnormally expressed glycoproteins in HCC, which was further assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. The role of selected glycoprotein on HCC development and underlying mechanism was systematically investigated by colony formation, mouse xenograft, RNA-sequencing and western blot assays, etc. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and luciferase assays were performed to explore potential transcription factors (TFs) of selected glycoprotein. The regulation of repaglinide (RPG) on expression of lumican and downstream effectors was assessed by western blot and IHC, while its impact on malignant phenotypes of HCC was explored through in vitro and in vivo analyses, including a murine NASH-HCC model established using western diet and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4).

Results: Lumican exhibited upregulation in both serum and tumor tissue, with elevated expression associated with an inferior prognosis in HCC patients. Knockdown of lumican resulted in significantly reduced growth of HCC in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, lumican promoted HCC malignant phenotypes by inhibiting the p53/p21 signaling pathway. Forkhead Box O3 (FOXO3) was identified as the TF of lumican that transcriptionally enhanced its expression. Without silencing FOXO3, RPG blocked the binding of FOXO3 to the promoter region of lumican, thereby inhibiting the activation of lumican/p53/p21 axis. Mice treated with RPG developed fewer and smaller HCCs than those in the control group at 24 weeks after establishment.

Conclusion: Our results indicate that RPG prevented the development and progression of HCC via alteration of FOXO3/lumican/p53 axis.

目的:近年来,N-连接的糖蛋白在各种恶性肿瘤的致癌过程中的作用受到关注,这促使我们探索导致 HCC 进展的异常表达的糖蛋白以及潜在的治疗策略:方法:应用质谱技术初步鉴定 HCC 中异常表达的糖蛋白,并通过免疫组织化学(IHC)染色对其进行进一步评估。通过集落形成、小鼠异种移植、RNA测序和Western印迹检测等方法,系统研究了所选糖蛋白在HCC发病中的作用及其内在机制。通过染色质免疫共沉淀(ChIP)和荧光素酶实验探讨了所选糖蛋白的潜在转录因子(TFs)。通过Western印迹和IHC评估了repaglinide(RPG)对lumican和下游效应物表达的调控,并通过体外和体内分析(包括使用西式饮食和四氯化碳(CCl4)建立的小鼠NASH-HCC模型)探讨了repaglinide对HCC恶性表型的影响:结果:Lumican 在血清和肿瘤组织中均有上调,其表达升高与 HCC 患者的预后不良有关。敲除 lumican 可显著降低 HCC 在体外和体内的生长。从机制上讲,lumican 通过抑制 p53/p21 信号通路促进了 HCC 恶性表型的形成。研究发现,叉头框O3(FOXO3)是lumican的TF,可转录增强lumican的表达。在不沉默 FOXO3 的情况下,RPG 阻断了 FOXO3 与 lumican 启动子区域的结合,从而抑制了 lumican/p53/p21 轴的激活。与对照组相比,接受RPG治疗的小鼠在发病24周后罹患的HCC数量更少、体积更小:我们的研究结果表明,RPG 可通过改变 FOXO3/lumican/p53 轴阻止 HCC 的发生和发展。

Purpose: Managing high-grade endometrial cancer in Martinique poses significant challenges. The diversity of copy number alterations in high-grade endometrial tumors, often associated with a TP53 mutation, is a key factor complicating treatment. Due to the high incidence of high-grade tumors with poor prognosis, our study aimed to characterize the molecular signature of these tumors within a cohort of 25 high-grade endometrial cases.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive pangenomic analysis to categorize the copy number alterations involved in these tumors. Whole-Exome Sequencing (WES) and Homologous Recombination (HR) analysis were performed. The alterations obtained from the WES were classified into various signatures using the Copy Number Signatures tool available in COSMIC.

Results: We identified several signatures that correlated with tumor stage and disctinct prognoses. These signatures all seem to be linked to replication stress, with CCNE1 amplification identified as the primary driver of oncogenesis in over 70% of tumors analyzed.

Conclusion: The identification of CCNE1 amplification, which is currently being explored as a therapeutic target in clinical trials, suggests new treatment strategies for high-grade endometrial cancer. This finding holds particular significance for Martinique, where access to care is challenging.

目的:在马提尼克岛治疗高级别子宫内膜癌是一项重大挑战。高级别子宫内膜肿瘤拷贝数改变的多样性(通常与 TP53 突变有关)是导致治疗复杂化的一个关键因素。由于预后不良的高级别肿瘤发病率较高,我们的研究旨在对25例高级别子宫内膜癌病例进行分子特征描述:我们进行了全面的泛基因组学分析,对这些肿瘤中涉及的拷贝数改变进行了分类。我们进行了全外显子组测序(WES)和同源重组(HR)分析。利用 COSMIC 中的拷贝数特征工具将从 WES 中获得的改变归类为各种特征:结果:我们发现了几个与肿瘤分期和不同预后相关的特征。这些特征似乎都与复制压力有关,在超过70%的肿瘤分析中,CCNE1扩增被确定为肿瘤发生的主要驱动因素:结论:CCNE1扩增目前正在临床试验中作为治疗靶点进行探索,它的发现为高分化子宫内膜癌提供了新的治疗策略。这一发现对于医疗条件艰苦的马提尼克岛具有特别重要的意义。

Purpose: Although mRNA vaccines have shown certain clinical benefits in multiple malignancies, their therapeutic efficacies against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains uncertain. This study focused on establishing a novel risk score system based on immune subtypes so as to identify optimal HCC mRNA vaccination population.

Methods: GEPIA, cBioPortal and TIMER databases were utilized to identify candidate genes for mRNA vaccination in HCC. Subsequently, immune subtypes were constructed based on the candidate genes. According to the differential expressed genes among various immune subtypes, a risk score system was established using machine learning algorithm. Besides, multi-color immunofluorescence of tumor tissues from 72 HCC patients were applied to validate the feasibility and efficiency of the risk score system.

Results: Twelve overexpressed and mutated genes associated with poor survival and APCs infiltration were identified as potential candidate targets for mRNA vaccination. Three immune subtypes (e.g. IS1, IS2 and IS3) with distinct clinicopathological and molecular profiles were constructed according to the 12 candidate genes. Based on the immune subtype, a risk score system was developed, and according to the risk score from low to high, HCC patients were classified into four subgroups on average (e.g. RS1, RS2, RS3 and RS4). RS4 mainly overlapped with IS3, RS1 with IS2, and RS2+RS3 with IS1. ROC analysis also suggested the significant capacity of the risk score to distinguish between the three immune subtypes. Higher risk score exhibited robustly predictive ability for worse survival, which was further independently proved by multi-color immunofluorescence of HCC samples. Notably, RS4 tumors exhibited an increased immunosuppressive phenotype, higher expression of the twelve potential candidate targets and increased genome altered fraction, and therefore might benefit more from vaccination.

Conclusions: This novel risk score system based on immune subtypes enabled the identification of RS4 tumor that, due to its highly immunosuppressive microenvironment, may benefit from HCC mRNA vaccination.

目的:尽管 mRNA 疫苗在多种恶性肿瘤中显示出一定的临床疗效,但其对肝细胞癌(HCC)的疗效仍不确定。本研究的重点是建立基于免疫亚型的新型风险评分系统,以确定最佳的 HCC mRNA 疫苗接种人群:方法:利用 GEPIA、cBioPortal 和 TIMER 数据库确定 HCC mRNA 疫苗接种的候选基因。随后,根据候选基因构建了免疫亚型。根据不同免疫亚型的差异表达基因,利用机器学习算法建立了风险评分系统。此外,还对 72 例 HCC 患者的肿瘤组织进行了多色免疫荧光检测,以验证风险评分系统的可行性和有效性:结果:12个与生存率低和APCs浸润相关的过表达和突变基因被确定为mRNA疫苗接种的潜在候选靶点。根据这 12 个候选基因,构建了三种具有不同临床病理和分子特征的免疫亚型(如 IS1、IS2 和 IS3)。根据免疫亚型建立了风险评分系统,按照风险评分从低到高将 HCC 患者平均分为四个亚组(如 RS1、RS2、RS3 和 RS4)。RS4 主要与 IS3 重叠,RS1 与 IS2 重叠,RS2+RS3 与 IS1 重叠。ROC 分析还表明,风险评分在区分三种免疫亚型方面具有显著的能力。风险评分越高,预测生存率越低的能力越强,HCC样本的多色免疫荧光进一步证明了这一点。值得注意的是,RS4肿瘤表现出更高的免疫抑制表型、更高的12个潜在候选靶点表达量和更高的基因组改变部分,因此可能从疫苗接种中获益更多:结论:这种基于免疫亚型的新型风险评分系统能够识别 RS4 肿瘤,由于其具有高度免疫抑制的微环境,RS4 肿瘤可能会从 HCC mRNA 疫苗接种中获益。

Purpose: Microbial dysbiosis is considered as a hallmark of colorectal cancer (CRC). Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) as a gut microbiota-dependent metabolite has recently been implicated in CRC development. Nevertheless, evidence relating TMAO to intestinal carcinogenesis remains largely unexplored. Herein, we aimed to examine the crucial role of TMAO in CRC progression.

Methods: Apcmin/+ mice were treated with TMAO or sterile PBS for 14 weeks. Intestinal tissues were isolated to evaluate the effects of TMAO on the malignant transformation of intestinal adenoma. The gut microbiota of mouse feces was detected by 16S rRNA sequencing analysis. HCT-116 cells were used to provide further evidence of TMAO on the progression of CRC.

Results: TMAO administration increased tumor cell and stem cell proliferation, and decreased apoptosis, accompanied by DNA damage and gut barrier impairment. Gut microbiota analysis revealed that TMAO induced changes in the intestinal microbial community structure, manifested as reduced beneficial bacteria. Mechanistically, TMAO bound to farnesoid X receptor (FXR), thereby inhibiting the FXR-fibroblast growth factor 15 (FGF15) axis and activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, whereas the FXR agonist GW4064 could blunt TMAO-induced Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation.

Conclusion: The microbial metabolite TMAO can enhance intestinal carcinogenesis by inhibiting the FXR-FGF15 pathway.

目的:微生物菌群失调被认为是结直肠癌(CRC)的特征之一。三甲胺-N-氧化物(TMAO)作为一种依赖于肠道微生物群的代谢物,最近被认为与 CRC 的发生有关。然而,TMAO 与肠癌发生有关的证据在很大程度上仍未得到探讨。在此,我们旨在研究 TMAO 在 CRC 进展中的关键作用:方法:用 TMAO 或无菌 PBS 处理 Apcmin/+ 小鼠 14 周。方法:用 TMAO 或无菌 PBS 处理 Apcmin/+ 小鼠 14 周,分离肠组织以评估 TMAO 对肠腺瘤恶性转化的影响。通过 16S rRNA 测序分析检测小鼠粪便中的肠道微生物群。使用 HCT-116 细胞进一步证明了 TMAO 对 CRC 进展的影响:结果:服用 TMAO 会增加肿瘤细胞和干细胞增殖,减少细胞凋亡,并伴有 DNA 损伤和肠道屏障受损。肠道微生物群分析表明,TMAO诱导肠道微生物群落结构发生变化,表现为微生物群多样性和有益菌减少。从机理上讲,TMAO与类雌激素X受体(FXR)结合,从而抑制了FXR-成纤维细胞生长因子15(FGF15)轴,激活了Wnt/β-catenin信号通路,而FXR激动剂GW4064则可以抑制TMAO诱导的Wnt/β-catenin通路激活:结论:微生物代谢物TMAO可通过抑制FXR-FGF15通路促进肠癌的发生。

Purpose: The Chromobox (CBX) family proteins are crucial elements of the epigenetic regulatory machinery and play a significant role in the development and advancement of cancer. Nevertheless, there is limited understanding regarding the role of CBXs in development or progression of prostate cancer (PCa). Our objective is to develop a unique prognostic model associated with CBXs to improve the accuracy of predicting outcomes of patients with PCa.

Methods: Data from TCGA and GEO databases were analyzed to assess differential expression, prognostic value, gene pathway enrichment, and immune cell infiltration. COX regression analysis was utilized to identify the independent prognostic factors that impact disease-free survival (DFS). The expression of CBX2 and FOXP3+ cells infiltration was verified by immunohistochemical staining of clinical tissue sections. In vitro proliferation, migration and invasion assay were conducted to examine the function of CBX2. RNA-seq was employed to examine the CBX2 related pathway enrichment.

Results: CBX2, CBX3, CBX4, and CBX8 were upregulated, while CBX6 and CBX7 were downregulated in PCa tissues. CBXs expression varied by stage and grade. Elevated expression of CBX1, CBX2, CBX3, CBX4 and CBX8 is correlated with poor outcome. CBX2 expression, T stage, and Gleason score were independent prognostic factors. The expression level of CBX2 in PCa tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues. More Treg infiltration was observed in the group with high CBX2 expression. CBX2 expression affected PCa cell growth, migration, and invasion.

Conclusions: CBX2 is involved in the development and advancement of PCa, suggesting its potential as a reliable prognostic indicator for PCa patients.

目的:Chromobox(CBX)家族蛋白是表观遗传调控机制的关键元素,在癌症的发生和发展中发挥着重要作用。然而,人们对 CBX 在前列腺癌(PCa)的发生和发展中的作用了解有限。我们的目标是建立一个与 CBXs 相关的独特预后模型,以提高预测 PCa 患者预后的准确性:方法:分析来自 TCGA 和 GEO 数据库的数据,以评估差异表达、预后价值、基因通路富集和免疫细胞浸润。利用 COX 回归分析确定影响无病生存期(DFS)的独立预后因素。临床组织切片的免疫组化染色验证了 CBX2 的表达和 FOXP3+ 细胞的浸润。体外增殖、迁移和侵袭试验检验了 CBX2 的功能。采用RNA-seq技术检测CBX2相关通路的富集情况:结果:在PCa组织中,CBX2、CBX3、CBX4和CBX8上调,而CBX6和CBX7下调。CBXs的表达因分期和分级而异。CBX1、CBX2、CBX3、CBX4和CBX8的表达升高与预后不良有关。CBX2的表达、T期和Gleason评分是独立的预后因素。CBX2 在 PCa 组织中的表达水平明显高于邻近的正常组织。在CBX2高表达组中观察到更多的Treg浸润。CBX2的表达影响了PCa细胞的生长、迁移和侵袭:CBX2参与了PCa的发生和发展,表明它有可能成为PCa患者的可靠预后指标。

Purpose: As an important component of the microenvironment, the gastric microbiota and its metabolites are associated with tumour occurrence, progression, and metastasis. However, the relationship between the gastric microbiota and the development of gastric cancer is unclear. The present study investigated the role of the gastric mucosa microbiome and metabolites as aetiological factors in gastric carcinogenesis.

Methods: Gastric biopsies from different stomach microhabitats (n = 70) were subjected to 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and blood samples (n = 95) were subjected to untargeted metabolome (gas chromatography‒mass spectrometry, GC‒MS) analyses. The datasets were analysed using various bioinformatics approaches.

Results: The microbiota diversity and community composition markedly changed during gastric carcinogenesis. High Helicobacter. pylori colonization modified the overall diversity and composition of the microbiota associated with gastritis and cancer in the stomach. Most importantly, analysis of the functional features of the microbiota revealed that nitrate reductase genes were significantly enriched in the tumoral microbiota, while urease-producing genes were significantly enriched in the microbiota of H. pylori-positive patients. A panel of 81 metabolites was constructed to discriminate gastric cancer patients from gastritis patients, and a panel of 15 metabolites was constructed to discriminate H. pylori-positive patients from H. pylori-negative patients. receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis identified a series of gastric microbes and plasma metabolites as potential biomarkers of gastric cancer.

Conclusion: The present study identified a series of signatures that may play important roles in gastric carcinogenesis and have the potential to be used as biomarkers for diagnosis and for the surveillance of gastric cancer patients with minimal invasiveness.

目的:作为微环境的重要组成部分,胃微生物群及其代谢产物与肿瘤的发生、发展和转移有关。然而,胃微生物群与胃癌发病之间的关系尚不清楚。本研究探讨了胃黏膜微生物组和代谢物在胃癌发生中作为致病因素的作用:方法:对来自不同胃微生境的胃活检样本(n = 70)进行 16S rRNA 基因测序,并对血液样本(n = 95)进行非靶向代谢组(气相色谱-质谱法,GC-MS)分析。采用各种生物信息学方法对数据集进行了分析:结果:在胃癌发生过程中,微生物群的多样性和群落组成发生了明显变化。幽门螺杆菌的高定植率改变了与胃炎和胃癌相关的微生物群的整体多样性和组成。最重要的是,对微生物群功能特征的分析表明,硝酸还原酶基因在肿瘤微生物群中显著富集,而尿素酶产生基因在幽门螺杆菌阳性患者的微生物群中显著富集。由81种代谢物组成的小组被用来区分胃癌患者和胃炎患者,由15种代谢物组成的小组被用来区分幽门螺杆菌阳性患者和幽门螺杆菌阴性患者。接收操作者特征(ROC)曲线分析确定了一系列胃微生物和血浆代谢物是胃癌的潜在生物标志物:本研究发现了一系列可能在胃癌发生过程中发挥重要作用的特征,这些特征有可能被用作诊断和监测微创胃癌患者的生物标志物。
