    Abstract:
    As an important part of anti-tumor immunity, cytokines were once shining stars in tumor immunotherapy. Standing at the tide of the transformation of cancer immunotherapy strategy, comprehensive cytokine-based cancer immunotherapy has continuously iterated and explored through a variety of the theoretical and technological innovations as well as various optimized combinations, and gradually changed the unsatisfactory effect of tumor monotherapy, so as to create another brilliance and provide a new way for comprehensive tumor immunotherapy. The new understanding of the intercellular communication in tumor microenvironment, the research and development of novel cytokines and modified products for tumor immunity, the discovery of the unique structure of shared signaling receptors and the combination with the new generation of anti-tumor treatment have injected new vitality into the application of tumor cytokine therapy. These findings highlight the guiding role of "innovation and combination" in the design of comprehensive strategy of cytokine-based cancer immunotherapy, and also have a certain reference value for the research and development of other tumor biotherapy technologies.

    Abstract:
    Objective: To explore the in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity of fusion peptide IL-4Rα -lytic against Kaposi sarcoma- associated herpesvirus (KSHV) positive primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) cells and its safety. Methods: The cytotoxicity of IL-4Rα-lytic against KSHV + PEL cells (BCBL-1 and BCP-1) was measured by MTT assay. The IL-4Rα-lytic induced apoptosis of KSHV + PEL cells was analyzed by FCM. A BCBL-1 cell xenograft mice model was constructed. IL-4Rα-lytic was intraperitoneally injected for three consecutive weeks (3 times/week), and the inhibitory effect of IL-4Rα-lytic on the growth of BCBL-1 cell xenograft in mice was evaluated with in vivo bioluminescence imaging technology. Moreover, the toxic side effect was analyzed using H-E staining and whole blood cell analysis. Results: Fusion peptide IL-4Rα-lytic had a selective cytotoxicity against KSHV + PEL BCBL-1 and BCP-1 cells (all P<0.01) and could rapidly kill KSHV + PEL cells (all P<0.01). IL-4Rα-lytic could induce the apoptosis of KSHV + PEL BCBL-1 and BCP-1 cells (all P<0.05). IL-4Rα-lytic significantly inhibited the growth of BCBL-1 cell xenograft in mice(P<0.05) without causing obvious organ toxicity (all P<0.05) and abnormal changes in body weight (P>0.05). Conclusion: Fusion peptide IL-4Rα-lytic can significantly inhibit the growth of KSHV + PEL cells in vivo and in vitro without obvious toxic side effects, which is expected to provide a novel strategy for the treatment of PEL.

    Abstract:
    Objective: To investigate the effect of incorporating YRHQ motif into the intracellular CD3ζ region of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) on the specific killing activity and immune memory formation of CAR-T cells. Methods: DNA fragments encoding the antigen receptor H28ζ or H28ζ(YRHQ) were obtained by DNA synthesis. H28ζ-CAR-T and H28ζ(YRHQ)-CAR-T cells targeting HER2 were developed by transducing different CAR DNA fragments into T cells from healthy human peripheral blood using lentiviral vectors. The number of different CAR-T cells was counted during amplification, and CAR expression rate was detected by FCM. The CAR-T cells were incubated with HER2 positive SKOV3, MDA-MB-453 cells or HER2 negative MCF-7 cells, respectively. Then, the killing activity of CAR-T cells was measured by LDH release assay, the levels of IL-2, IFN-γ and GZMB were measured by ELISA, the phosphorylation level of STAT3 and the expression of immune checkpoint molecules TIM-3 and PD-1 were detected by WB, and the expression of CCR7 and CD45RO was detected by FCM. In addition, the phenotypes of CAR-T cells were analyzed. Results: Both H28ζ-CAR-T and H28ζ(YRHQ)-CAR-T cells had good amplification ability and expanded 4-5 folds at 7th day of culture in vitro. The expression rate of H28ζ-CAR or H28ζ(YRHQ) CAR in T cells were (33.3±2.85)% and (28.30±3.2)%, respectively. A higher cytotoxicity of H28ζ(YRHQ)-CAR-T cells than H28ζ-CAR-T cells was observed (P<0.05). After HER2 antigen stimulation, the STAT3 phosphorylation level of H28ζ(YRHQ)-CAR-T cells was significantly higher than that of H28ζ-CAR-T cells (P<0.01); however, no significant difference in the expressionof PD-1 and TIM-3 was observedbetween two CAR-T cells. The expression of CCR7 and CD45RO in the CAR-T cells without antigen stimulation was not significantly different from that in normal T cells (both P>0.05). After co-culture with SKOV3 tumor cells, compared with T cells or H28ζ(YRHQ) -CAR-T cells, the the proportion of T EM cells increased, while the proportion of the T CM cells decreased significantly in H28ζ(YRHQ)-CAR-T cells (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The incorporation of YRHQ motif in CD3 intracellular region could improve the killing potential of CAR-T cells to some extent.

    Abstract:
    Objective: To investigate the effects of interfering with B7-H4 expression on proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle and expression of downstream molecules in breast cancer cells. Methods: Breast cancer T47D and MCF-7 cells at logarithmic phase were transfected with siRNA specifically targeting B7-H4 (siB7-H4) or its negative control (siNC) by using Lipofectamine TM 2000, namely T47D siNC, T47D-siB7-H4, MCF-7-siNC, and MCF-7-siB7-H4 group, respectively. The efficacy of siRNA interference and its effect on the expression of cyclin D1 were verified by quantitative PCR (qPCR) and Western blotting (WB). The effects of interfering with B7-H4 on cell proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis of breast cancer cell lines T47D and MCF-7 were detected by CCK-8 assays and flow cytometry, respectively. The effects of interfering with B7-H4 on the expression of E2F family related transcription factors were examined by qPCR. Results: The T47D and MCF-7 cell lines with B7-H4 knockdown were successfully constructed. Compared with the cells in T47D-siNC and MCF-7-siNC groups, the mRNA and protein levels of B7-H4 were significantly decreased, and the proliferation was significantly inhibited in the cells of T47D-siB7-H4 or MCF-7-siB7-H4 groups, accompanied with G1/S cell cycle arrest as well as downregulation of cyclin D1 (all P<0.01); however, there were no statistically significant differences in apoptotic rates (all P>0.05). Compared with the cells in T47D-siNC group, the mRNA levels of E2F1, E2F2, E2F7 and E2F8 in T47D cells decreased in varying degrees after interfering with B7-H4 (all P<0.01); compared with cells in MCF-7-siNC group, the mRNA levels of E2F1, E2F2, E2F3, E2f7 and E2F8 in MCF-7 cells also decreased in varying degrees after interfering with B7-H4 (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: Interfering with B7-H4 in breast cancer cells can down-regulate the expression of cyclin D1 and E2F family related transcription factors, leading to cell cycle arrest and inhibition of cell proliferation.

    Abstract:
    Objective: To investigate the effect of miR-620 on the radiosensitivity of breast cancer MCF-7 cells and its mechanism. Methods: The cancer tissues and para-cancerous tissue specimens of 21 patients with breast cancer who had surgical resection in Danzhou City People's Hospital of Hainan Province from March 2017 to March 2018 were collected. In addition, breast cancer MCF-7 and BCaP-37 cells and breast epithelial HBL-100 cells were also cultured in vitro. The mRNA expression of miR-620 and inhibitor of growth 4 (ING4) in breast cancer tissues and cells was detected by qRT-PCR. MCF-7 cells were respectively transfected with miR-620 inhibitor (anti-miR-620), inhibitor negative control (anti-miR-NC), anti-miR-620 with ING4 small interfering RNA (si-ING4), and anti-miR-620 with small interfering RNA negative control (si-NC) using Lipofectamine TM 2000 lipofection technology before radiotherapy, namely IR+anti-miR-620 group, IR+anti-miR-NC group, IR+anti-miR-620+si-ING4 group, and IR+anti-miR-620+si-NC group, respectively.The cell radiosensitivity, cell proliferation activity, cell cycle distribution and apoptosis rate were detected by clone formation assay, MTT and FCM, respectively. The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and Western blotting were used to verify the targeting relationship between miR-620 and ING4. Results: Compared with para-cancerous tissues and HBL-100 cells, the expression of miR-620 was significantly increased while the mRNA expression of ING4 was significantly reduced in breast cancer tissues and cells(all P<0.01). Compared with the IR+anti-miR-NC group, the proliferation activity and S phase cell proportion of MCF-7 cells in the IR+anti-miR-620 group were significantly decreased (all P<0.01), but the apoptosis rate, the proportion of G0-G1 phase cells, and the radiosensitivity were significantly increased (all P<0.01). Compared with the IR+anti-miR-620+si-NC group, the proliferation activity and the S-phase cell proportion of MCF-7 cells in the IR+anti-miR-620+si-ING4 group were significantly increased (all P<0.01), but the apoptosis rate, the proportion of G0-G1 phase cells, and the radiosensitivity were significantly decreased (all P<0.01). The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay showed that ING4 is a target gene of miR-620, and miR-620 targeted and negatively regulated the expression of ING4. Conclusion: Knockdown of miR-620 could inhibit the proliferation of MCF-7 cells but promote the apoptosis and radiosensitivity of MCF-7 cells by up-regulating ING4.

    Abstract:
    Objective: To investigate the expression of collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 (CTHRC1) in bladder cancer tissues and cells and its effect on the migration and invasion of bladder cancer 5637 cells as well as the related mechanisms. Methods: By referring to the bladder cancer gene expression data in TCGA and Arrayexpress databases, CTHRC1 transcriptional and translational levels were analyzed. 144 cases of bladder cancer tissues and 25 cases of para-cancerous tissues resected in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from September 2014 to December 2020 were collected for this study; in addition, human bladder cancer cells (RT4, 5637, T24, UMUC-3 and TCCSUP) and immortalized human ureteral epithelial SV-HUC-1 cells were also collected. The expression levels of CTHRC1 in human bladder cancer tissues and cell lines were detected by immunohistochemistry staining, qPCR and WB. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to analyze the effect of CTHRC1 expression on overall survival (OS). CTHRC1 expression in 5637 cells was interfered using RNAi technology, and then the effects of CTHRC1 knockdown on migration and invasion of bladder cancer 5637 cells were detected by scratch and Transwell assays. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to predict potential signaling pathways associated with CTHRC1. WB was utilized to detect the effect of CTHRC1 knockdown on the expression of FAK-ERK1/2 pathway related proteins. Results: The transcriptional and translational levels of CTHRC1 were significantly up-regulated in muscle-invasive bladder cancer tissues and cells (all P<0.05), and the 5-year OS was significantly shorter in the patients with high CTHRC1 expression as compared with those with low expression (P<0.05). The migration and invasion of bladder cancer 5637 cells were reduced following CTHRC1 knockdown (all P<0.01). GSEA showed that the CTHRC1 high-expression group was mainly enriched in focal adhesion kinase (FAK), regulation of actin cytoskeleton, and FAK-ERK1/2 signaling pathways. WB assay showed that recombinant CTHRC1 protein promoted the activation of FAK-ERK1/2 signaling pathway in bladder cancer 5637 cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: CTHRC1 expression is up-regulated in invasive bladder cancer and closely related to the poor prognosis of bladder cancer patients. CTHRC1 enhances the invasion and metastasis of bladder cancer cells, which may be associated with the activation of the FAK-ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

    Abstract:
    Objective: To detect the expression of LINC00997 in gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) tissues and gastric cancer cells and analyze its relationship with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of GCA patients, as well as to explore the effect of LINC00997 knockdown on the migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of SGC7901 cells. Methods: Based on the TCGA and GTEx database, the expression of LINC00997 in gastric cancer tissues and its relationship with the prognosis of gastric cancer patients were analyzed. qPCR was applied to detect the expression of LINC00997 in 68 pairs of GCA tissues and the corresponding para-cancerous tissues and gastric cancer cells. The association between its expression level and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients was also analyzed. The effects of LINC00997 knockdown on migration and invasion of gastric cancer SGC7901 cells were examined by Wound-healing assay and Transwell invasion assay, respectively. The effects of LINC00997 knockdown on the expression of EMT-related markers E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin were detected by qPCR and WB methods. Results: The expression of LINC00997 in gastric cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in para-cancerous tissues (P<0.05), and the overall survival (OS) rate and disease-free survival (DFS) rate of the LINC00997 high expression group was significantly lower than that of the low expression group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The expression of LINC00997 in 68 GCA tissues was significantly higher than that in corresponding para-cancerous tissues (P<0.01), and was correlated with lymph node metastasis, TNM stage and OS of the patients (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The migration and invasion of SGC7901 cells with LINC00997 knockdown were significantly suppressed (all P<0.01), the expression levels of N-cadherin and vimentin were decreased while the expression of E-cadherin was increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: LINC00997 is highly expressed in GCA tissues and cells. The high expression of LINC00997 may promote the migration, invasion and EMT process of GCA, and is expected to become a candidate molecular marker for prognostic evaluation of patients with GCA.

    Abstract:
    Objective: To investigate the expression level of glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 2 (GCNT2) in gastric cancer (GC) tissues and its role in the occurrence, development, diagnosis and prognosis of GC. Methods: By using TIMER, GEPIA2, Oncomine and UALCAN databases as well as clinical specimens of GC tissues and paired para-cancerous tissues from 25 GC patients who had surgical resection in the Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical University from January 2018 to December 2019, the expression level of GCNT2 gene in GC tissues and its diagnostic and prognostic value in GC were analyzed. The main signal pathways that GCNT2 involved in and the correlation of GCNT2 with immune infiltration were analyzed by LinkedOmics, GSEA and ssGSEA. pc-GCNT2 and its negative control plasmids were transfected into gastric cancer SGC-7901 and BGC-823 cells. Colony formation assay and Traswell assay were used to detect the effect of GCNT2 on the proliferation and invasion of GC cells. WB method was used to detect the protein expression of GCNT2, STAT3 and PD-L1 in transfected cells. Results: The expression level of GCNT2 mRNA in GC tissues was significantly lower than that in para-cancerous tissues (P<0.05), and its expression level was significantly correlated with the prognosis of patients (P<0.05), which is of high value in the diagnosis of GC. The methylation status of GCNT2 in GC tissues was significantly higher than that in para-cancerous tissues. The biological processes that GCNT2 gene involved in were mainly cell morphogenesis, intercellular adhesion, multicellular biological signals and synaptic transmission, etc. Single gene GSEA analysis showed that GCNT2 mainly inhibited IL-6/JAK/STAT3 and IL-2/STAT5 signaling pathways, inflammatory response, α/γ interferon response and NF-κB expression in GC. There was a significant correlation between the expression of GCNT2 and immune infiltration in GC tissues. Over-expression of GCNT2 significantly inhibited the proliferation and invasion of GC cells (all P<0.01), and down- regulated the expression of STAT3 and PD-L1 (all P<0.01). Conclusion: GCNT2 is significantly lowly expressed in gastric cancer tissues, and is significantly related to the diagnosis and prognosis of GC patients. GCNT2 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of GC mainly through inhibiting IL-6/JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway and immune-related carcinogenic signaling pathway.

    Abstract:
    细胞焦亡是近年来发现的一种新型细胞死亡的方式,是一种受焦孔素(GSDM)家族调控的炎症性程序性细胞死亡,其主要特征是膜穿孔、细胞肿胀及细胞破裂。细胞焦亡发生的机制分为由GSDMD介导的Caspase-1和Caspase-4/-5/-11依赖性经典炎症小体途径和由GSDME介导的Caspase-3和颗粒酶依赖性非经典炎症小体途径等。近年来研究显示,细胞焦亡具有抑制和促进肿瘤发生发展的双重作用,并且细胞焦亡的诱导在抗肿瘤免疫治疗中也发挥双重效应:一方面通过促进炎症因子释放,形成肿瘤微环境,抑制抗肿瘤免疫,另一方面则通过引发抗肿瘤炎症反应抑制肿瘤细胞的增殖。此外,细胞焦亡的诱导在化疗及其他联合治疗中也发挥着重要作用。进一步研究发现,中药及其提取物调控细胞焦亡的诱导对于治疗肿瘤至关重要。

    Abstract:
    嵌合抗原受体T(CAR-T)细胞治疗是通过基因修饰获得携带识别肿瘤抗原特异性受体T细胞的个性化治疗方法。近年来,CAR-T细胞治疗在血液系统肿瘤的治疗中取得了巨大的成功,在实体瘤治疗方面也取得了一定进展。肺癌是世界上发病率最高的恶性肿瘤之一,而非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)占多数且疗效差。CAR-T细胞治疗NSCLC主要在下述多个方面取得进展,包括CAR-T细胞分子结构的不断优化设计、CAR-T细胞治疗NSCLC的潜在靶标(如PD-L1、B7H3、MSLN、EGFR、PSCA、MUC1和LUNX)的发现、CAR-T细胞治疗联合放射治疗与化学治疗的机制与临床前动物实验的效果等。CAR-T细胞治疗NSCLC也存在许多困难,如CAR-T细胞在实体瘤中浸润性差、肿瘤特异性抗原缺乏、严重副作用的发生等。
