Our study might provide a new direction for neuropathic pain basic research.The previous study indicated that transport stress resulted in oxidative damage and autophagy/mitophagy elevation, companied by NOX1 over- expression in the jejunal tissues of pigs. However, the transportation-related gene expression profile and NOX1 function in intestine remain to be explicated. In the current study, differentially expressed genes involved in PI3K-Akt and NF-κB pathways, oxidative stress and autophagy process have been identified in pig jejunal tissues after transcriptome analysis following transportation. The physiological functions of NOX1 down-regulation were explored against oxidative damage and excessive autophagy in porcine intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-1) following NOX1 inhibitor ML171 and H2O2 treatments. NOX1 down-regulation could decrease the content of Malondialdehyde (MDA), Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, and up-regulate superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Furthermore, mitochondrial membrane potential and content were restored, and the expressions of tight junction proteins (Claudin-1 and ZO-1) were also increased. Additionally, NOX1 inhibitior could down-regulate the expression of autophagy-associated proteins (ATG5, LC3, p62), accompanied by activating SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway. NOX1 down-regulation might alleviate oxidative stress-induced mitochondria damage and intestinal mucosal injury via modulating excessive autophagy and SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway. The data will shed light on the molecular mechanism of NOX1 on intestine oxidative damage following pig transportation.
rs2274911 (Pro91Ser, G>A) is a missense mutation located on the second exon of the GPRC6A gene. Increasing evidence revealed a significant association between the A allele of rs2274911 and male diseases, such as oligospermia, cryptorchidism, and prostate tumor. However, the function of rs2274911 in healthy males is unclear.
A total of 1742 healthy men were selected from the Fangchenggang Area Male Health and Examination Survey (FAMHES). The association between rs2274911 and phenotype was evaluated. The cell characteristics of rs2274911 mutation (mu), wild-type GPRC6A (WT), and RFP control in human embryonic kidney (293T) and human prostate cancer (PC3) cells were analyzed. RNA sequencing was performed on PC3 cells.
E2 and PSA serum levels increased with the accumulation of the A allele (E2 G vs. A, -0.029 [-0.050, -0.008], P<0.01, P trend=0.027; PSA G vs. A, -0.040 [-0.079, 0.000], P<0.05, P trend=0.048). rs2274911 enhanced the proliferation and invasion ability of PC3 or 293T cells and activated the ERK pathway. The genes were identified as rs2274911 mu-affected genes through RNA sequential analysis of rs2274911 mu, GPRC6A WT, and RFP control of PC3 cells. Most of these genes were related to cancer development processes, cAMP, and the ERK cell signaling pathway.
This project represents that rs2274911 is associated with E2 and PSA serum levels in Southern Chinese men. Rs2274991 mutation promotes 293T and PC3 cell proliferation in vitro. These results suggest that rs2274911 is a functional variant of GPRC6A.

Up to now, the function of circ_0010220 in osteosarcoma is still poorly known. The aim of our work was to figure out the potential mechanism of circ_0010220/miR-503-5p/CDCA4 axis in osteosarcoma progression. Firstly, quantitative RT-qPCR was utilized to measure the expression of circ_0010220 in osteosarcoma cells. Then, osteosarcoma cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle, migration and invasion after loss of circ_0010220 were evaluated using CCK-8, flow cytometry, transwell migration, invasion and tumorigenesis experiments respectively. Circ_0010220 expression was markedly increased in osteosarcoma cells. Additionally, knockdown of circ_0010220 significantly depressed tumor growth. CCK-8 analysis indicated that down-regulation of circ_0010220 inhibited osteosarcoma cells proliferation. Flow cytometry assay showed that knockdown of circ_0010220 induced cell apoptosis and blocked cell cycle in the G1 phase. Meanwhile, cell migration an invasion was reduced by circ_0010220. Furthermore, miR-503-5p was predicted as the target for circ_0010220 and miR-503-5p inhibitors reversed cell growth suppressed through silencing circ_0010220. Then, our study demonstrated that Cell Division Cycle-Associated protein 4 (CDCA4) could be a downstream target of miR-503-5p. Additionally, circ_0010220 down-regulation reduced CDCA4 expression level and the inhibitors of miR-503-5p reversed that. In conclusion, we indicated circ_0010220 can be an important biomarker for osteosarcoma via regulating miR-503-5p and CDCA4.Colon cancer is one of the most common diseases in the world with both a high incidence and high mortality. PLAC1 is activated and expressed in many cancers. We aim to explore the relationship between PLAC1 expression and prognosis in colon cancer patient. The RNA-Seq expression data and clinical information of colon cancer were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Differentially expressed PLAC1 was obtained by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test; the significance difference being that PLAC1 was more highly expressed in tumor rather than normal tissue (p less then 0.01). Then patients were classified into high and low risk groups by different risk scores, and the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that colon cancer patients with a high PLAC1 expression had a poorer prognosis than low PLAC1 expression patients (p = 0.0031). Next, in analyzing the clinical pathology associated with PLAC1 expression, logistic regression showed that PLAC1 was expressed high in stage (OR = 4.11 for I vs. I-138 in vivo IV), lys in finding new diagnostic and therapy methods for colon cancer.
