摘要:
Heart failure (HF) remains one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Recent studies have shown that stem cells (SCs) including bone marrow mesenchymal stem (BMSC), embryonic bodies (EB), embryonic stem (ESC), human induced pluripotent stem (hiPSC)-derived cardiac cells generation, and transplantation treated myocardial infarction (MI) in vivo and in human. However, the immature phenotypes compromise their clinical application requiring immediate intervention to improve stem-derived cardiac cell (S-CCs) maturation. Recently, an unbiased multi-omic analysis involving genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, and metabolomics identified specific strategies for the generation of matured S-CCs that may enhance patients’ recovery processes upon transplantation. However, these strategies still remain undisclosed. Here, we summarize the recently discovered strategies for the matured S-CC generation. In addition, cardiac patch formation and transplantation that accelerated HF recuperation in clinical trials are discussed. A better understanding of this work may lead to efficient generation of matured S-CCs for regenerative medicine.
摘要:
As a member of the kinesin-3 family, kinesin family member 16B (KIF16B) has a characteristic PhoX homology (PX) domain that binds to membranes containing phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI(3)P) and moves along microtubule filaments to the plus end via a process regulated by coiled coils in the stalk region in various cell types. The physiological function of KIF16B supports the transport of intracellular cargo and the formation of endosomal tubules. Ras-related protein (Rab) coordinates many steps of membrane transport and are involved in the regulation of KIF16B-mediated vesicle trafficking. Data obtained from clinical research suggest that KIF16B has a potential effect on the disease processes in intellectual disability, abnormal lipid metabolism, and tumor brain metastasis. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the structural and physiological characteristics of KIF16B as well as diseases associated with KIF16B disorders, and speculating its role as a potential adaptor for intracellular cholesterol trafficking.

HbA1c;HDL subclasses;Metabolic syndrome
摘要:
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is characterized by a constellation of metabolic disorders. Hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia are the major risk factors of MS. Here we performed a study to explore the association between glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses in patients with MS. Methods: We included 101 MS patients and 77 healthy subjects in this study. Blood tests were executed to assess the blood glucose and lipid indicators, including HbAlc, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apo- lipoprotein D-100 (aPoB(100)), pre beta(1)-HDL, HDL3b, aaPoB(100)/AI, apolipoprotein AI (apoAI), HDL2b and HDL2a. Multi- variate linear regression was used to explore potential relationship between HDL subclasses and HbA1c. Results: Compared with control group, the levels of HbA1c, FPG, TG, TC, LDL-C, apoB(100), pre beta(1)-HDL, HDL3b, apoB(100)/AI and LDL-C/HDL-C were significantly increased in MS subjects (p < 0.01), while plasma concentrations of HDL-C, apoAI, HDL2b and HDL2a were significantly decreased in MS subjects (p < 0.01). With the increase of whole blood HbA1c levels in MS subjects, pre beta(1)-HDL was elevated gradually, while HDL2a was decreased gradually. Conclusions: Blood HbA1c level is associated with the changes in HDL subclass distribution in patients with MS.

摘要:
Human health is threatened by obesity which causes the increasing incidence of various diseases, especially stroke. Ischemic stroke (IS) is mostly caused by the rupture of arterial plaque, whose instability is positively associated with matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that degrades extracellular matrix components. Studies have shown that matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) may be involved in the pathogenesis of IS. Because of the higher incidence of stroke in obese patients than that in normal weight people, it is urgent for obesity to forecast stroke early. Considering high levels MMP-12 in obesity, we put forward that MMP-12 may be a potential biomarker for IS in obese patients.

Dyslipidemia;IDOL;LDL-C;LDLR;PCSK9;SREBP2
摘要:
The SREBP2/LDLR pathway is sensitive to cholesterol content in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), while membrane low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) is influenced by sterol response element binding protein 2 (SREBP2), pro-protein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) and inducible degrader of LDLR (IDOL). LDL-C, one of the risk factors in cardiovascular disease, is cleared through endocytosis recycling of LDLR. Therefore, we propose that a balance between LDLR endocytosis recycling and PCSK9-mediated and IDOL-mediated lysosomal LDLR degradation is responsible for cholesterol homeostasis in the ER. For statins that decrease serum LDL-C levels via cholesterol synthesis inhibition, the mechanism by which the statins increase the membrane LDLR may be regulated by cholesterol homeostasis in the ER.

ABSTRACT Obesity is defined as a chronic and excessive growth of adipose tissue. It has been associated with a high risk for development and progression of obesity-associated malignancies, while adipokines may mediate this association. Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-derived adipokines, with significant anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic and anti-proliferative properties. Plasma adiponectin levels are decreased in obese individuals, and this feature is closely correlated with development of several metabolic, immunological and neoplastic diseases. Recent studies have shown that prostate cancer patients have lower serum adiponectin levels and decreased expression of adiponectin receptors in tumor tissues, which suggests plasma adiponectin level is a risk factor for prostate cancer. Furthermore, exogenous adiponectin has exhibited therapeutic potential in animal models. In this review, we focus on the potential role of adiponectin and the underlying mechanism of adiponectin in the development and progression of prostate cancer. Exploring the signaling pathways linking adiponectin with tumorigenesis might provide a potential target for therapy. Keywords: Prostatic Neoplasms;Obesity;Stress, Physiological

摘要:
Recombinant immunotoxin HA22, composed of an anti-CD22 Fv fragment fused to PE38, a truncated portion of Pseudomonas Exotoxin A (PE), has been developed for targeted treatment of various B-cell malignancies. As a foreign, internalized macromolecule, PE38 often induces lysosomal degradation and neutralizing antibodies to limit the efficacy of treating B-cell malignancies. The region of PE38 containing lysosomal protease cleavage sites deleted, leaving only furin processing site. The resulting immunotoxin HA22-LR (lysosome resistant) retains excellent biologic activity and removes immunogenic epitopes as an additional benefit. Another approach for avoiding immunogenicity is to identify B-cell epitopes and remove them by mutagenesis. Previously, to determine B-cell epitopes on PE38, murine Ab as a model, 7 major mouse-specific B-cell epitope groups with 13 subgroups were identified and located through a series of point mutations. Two new mutants, HA22-8X and HA22-LR-8X, were prepared, containing 8 epitope-silencing mutations which greatly reduced immunogenicity in mice. Later, by phage-display assay, human Fvs against PE toxin were isolated and human-specific B-cell epitopes were located by alanine scanning mutagenesis. HA22-LR as a scaffold, HA22-LR-L010 with 7 point mutations was constructed, has low reactivity with human antisera, yet has high cytotoxic and antitumor activity. In this review, theoretical aspects and experimental evidence for the removal of B-cell epitope is discussed.
