    Abstract: Objectives. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective intervention for portal hypertensive complications. Little is known about the ability of spleen stiffness (SS) for predicting the survival of cirrhotic patients undergoing TIPS. This study is to evaluate the influence of SS detected by point shear wave elastography (pSWE) in predicting survival after TIPS. Methods. This retrospective cohort study screened consecutive patients who underwent TIPS and reliable pSWE measurement between October 2014 and September 2017 from our prospectively maintained database. SS values were measured before TIPS. The primary endpoint was the overall survival after TIPS. The Cox regression analysis model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to calculate the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. Results. A total of 89 patients were involved in the final analysis. 24 patients (27.0%) died during a median follow-up time of 31 m. Multivariable Cox regression analysis confirmed that higher SS value ( P 〈 0.001 ), LS value ( P = 0.008 ), diameter of shunt ( P = 0.001 ), and older age ( P 〈 0.001 ) were independent prognostic factors of survival after TIPS. The risk of death rose 57.440-fold for each SS unit (m/s) increase. SS was also correlated with liver failure after TIPS. ROC analysis showed that the best SS cutoff value was 3.60 m/s for predicting survival, with a sensitivity of 54.2% and specificity of 90.8%. Conclusions. The SS value determined by pSWE in cirrhotic patients was an independent predictive factor for survival after TIPS.

    Abstract: Vascular calcification is a major risk factor for rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. High expression of BMP2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2) in lesions suggests its importance in vascular calcification during atherosclerosis. Teniposide is a Topo II (DNA topoisomerase II) inhibitor and is used for cancer treatment. Previously, we reported that teniposide activated macrophage ABCA1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter A1) expression and free cholesterol efflux indicating Topo II inhibitors may demonstrate antiatherogenic properties. Herein, we investigated the effects of teniposide on the development of atherosclerosis and vascular calcification in apoE −/− (apoE deficient) mice. Approach and Results— apoE −/− mice were fed high-fat diet containing teniposide for 16 weeks, or prefed high-fat diet for 12 weeks followed by high-fat diet containing teniposide for 4 weeks. Atherosclerosis and vascular calcification were determined. Human aortic smooth muscle cells were used to determine the mechanisms for teniposide-inhibited vascular calcification. Teniposide reduced atherosclerotic lesions. It also substantially reduced vascular calcification without affecting bone structure. Mechanistically, teniposide reduced vascular calcification by inactivating BMP2/(pi-Smad1/5/8 [mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 1, 5, and 8])/RUNX2 (runt-related transcription factor 2) axis in a p53-dependent manner. Furthermore, activated miR-203-3p by teniposide functioned as a link between activated p53 expression and inhibited BMP2 expression in inhibition of calcification. Conclusions— Our study demonstrates that teniposide reduces vascular calcification by regulating p53-(miR-203-3p)-BMP2 signaling pathway, which contributes to the antiatherogenic properties of Topo II inhibitors.

    Abstract: P16 INK4A is a surrogate signature compensating for the specificity and/or sensitivity deficiencies of the human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA and Papanicolaou smear (Pap) co‐test for detecting high‐grade cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions or worse (HSIL+). However, traditional p16INK4A immunostaining is labour intensive and skill demanding, and subjective biases cannot be avoided. Herein, we created a high‐throughput, quantitative diagnostic device, p16INK4A flow cytometry (FCM) and assessed its performances in cervical cancer screening and prevention. Methods P16 INK4A FCM was built upon a novel antibody clone and a series of positive and negative (p16 INK4A ‐knockout) standards. Since 2018, 24 100‐women (HPV‐positive/‐negative, Pap‐normal/‐abnormal) have been enrolled nationwide for two‐tier validation work. In cross‐sectional studies, age‐ and viral genotype‐dependent expression of p16 INK4A was investigated, and optimal diagnostic parameter cut‐offs (using colposcopy and biopsy as a gold standard) were obtained. In cohort studies, the 2‐year prognostic values of p16 INK4A were investigated with other risk factors by multivariate regression analyses in three cervicopathological conditions: HPV‐positive Pap‐normal, Pap‐abnormal biopsy‐negative and biopsy‐confirmed LSIL. Results P16 INK4A FCM detected a minimal ratio of 0.01% positive cells. The p16 INK4A ‐positive ratio was 13.9 ± 1.8% among HPV‐negative NILM women and peaked at the ages of 40–49 years; after HPV infection, the ratio increased to 15.1 ± 1.6%, varying with the carcinogenesis of the viral genotype. Further increments were found in women with neoplastic lesions (HPV‐negative: 17.7 ± 5.0–21.4 ± 7.2%; HPV‐positive: 18.0 ± 5.2–20.0 ± 9.9%). Extremely low expression of p16 INK4A was observed in women with HSILs. As the HPV‐combined double‐cut‐off‐ratio criterion was adopted, a Youden's index of 0.78 was obtained, which was significantly higher than that (0.72) of the HPV and Pap co‐test. The p16 INK4A ‐abnormal situation was an independent HSIL+ risk factor for 2‐year outcomes in all three cervicopathological conditions investigated (hazard ratios: 4.3–7.2). Conclusions FCM‐based p16 INK4A quantification offers a better choice for conveniently and precisely monitoring the occurrence of HSIL+ and directing risk‐stratification‐based interventions.

    Abstract: Tamoxifen inhibits estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer growth while CD36 potentiates cancer metastasis. The effects of CD36 on proliferation/migration of breast cancer cells and tamoxifen-inhibited ER-positive cell growth are unknown. In this study, we correlated the mortality of breast cancer patients to tumor CD36 expression levels. We also found CD36 was higher in ER-rich (MCF-7 〉 T-47D~ZR-75-30) than ER-negative (MDA-MB-231) cells. CD36 siRNA decreased viability and migration of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells with more potent effects on MCF-7 cells. Inversely, high expressing CD36 enhanced cell growth/migration. Mechanistically, CD36 increased expression of genes responsible for cell proliferation, migration and anti-apoptosis. CD36 also activated ERα and ER-targeted genes for cell cycles, and phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2). Tamoxifen inhibited CD36 and p-ERK1/2 in ERα-positive but not ERα-negative cells. Reciprocally, inhibition of MCF-7 cell growth by tamoxifen was attenuated by high expressing CD36. CD36, ERα and p-ERK1/2 expression was higher in tamoxifen-resistant MCF-7 (MCF-7/TAMR) cells than normal MCF-7 cells. However, CD36 siRNA restored the capacity of tamoxifen inhibiting MCF-7/TAMR cell growth. CD36 antibody inhibited cell growth and expression of ERα, p-ERK1/2 and CCND1. Therefore, our study unveils a pro-tumorigenic role of CD36 in breast cancer by enhancing proliferation/migration of breast cancer cells while attenuating tamoxifen-inhibited ER-positive cell growth.

    Abstract: To investigate the value of liver stiffness in rats with various degrees of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) induced by monocrotaline by comparing liver histopathologic findings. Methods Seventy rats were randomly divided into a control group (n = 10), a low‐dose monocrotaline group (n = 30), and a high‐dose monocrotaline group (n = 30). After successful modeling, the liver shear wave velocity (SWV) by Virtual Touch tissue imaging quantification (Siemens Medical Solutions, Mountain View, CA) and the alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin levels of the groups were obtained on days 3 and 5, and the intergroup differences were compared. Liver histopathologic characteristics were analyzed to evaluate the degrees of HSOS, and the scores were recorded. Results On days 3 and 5, the total bilirubin, AST, and ALT, levels and liver SWV in the low‐ and high‐dose groups were elevated; the portal vein velocity (PVV) of these groups was decreased compared with the control group; and the high‐dose rats showed higher serum AST and ALT levels than the low‐dose rats. The high‐dose rats had a lower PVV than the low‐dose rats at day 3. The liver SWV values had significant correlations with the histologic score and PVV. In a multivariate analysis, the liver SWV (β = 0.813; P   〈  .001) was independently associated with the histopathologic score. Conclusions Liver stiffness as measured by Virtual Touch tissue imaging quantification increases with the severity of HSOS and can be recommended as a marker for diagnosis and assessment of HSOS.

    Abstract: Abnormal serum ferritin levels are associated with a variety of diseases. Meanwhile, abnormal serum ferritin is influenced by a variety of risk factors, but its correlation with obesity remains poorly described. Objective This study aimed to investigate the association of body mass index (BMI) and weight waist adjustment index (WWI) with serum ferritin in US adults. Methods Participants in this study took part in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) prior to the pandemic from 2017 to March 2020. Serum ferritin was used as the sole response variable and BMI and WWI were used as independent variables. Multiple linear regression was used to assess the relationship between serum ferritin and the independent variables, and smoothed curve fitting and threshold effects analysis were performed to assess the presence of non-linear relationships. To validate the sensitive individuals for the correlation between the independent and the dependent variables, a subgroup analysis was performed. Results A final total of 7552 participants were included in this study. Both independent variables had a positive relationship with serum ferritin, with effect values of (β = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.17–1.19) when BMI was the independent variable and (β = 8.62, 95% CI: 3.53–13.72) when WWI was the independent variable in the fully adjusted model. This positive association between the two obesity-related indexes and serum ferritin became more significant as BMI and WWI increased (P for trend  〈  0.001). In subgroup analyses, the positive association between the independent variables and serum ferritin was more pronounced in participants who were male, 40–59 years old, white, and had diabetes and hypertension. In addition, smoothed curve fitting and threshold effects analysis demonstrated a linear positive association of BMI and WWI with serum ferritin. Conclusions In the US adult population, while there was a linear positive association of WWI and BMI with serum ferritin, the effect values between WWI and serum ferritin were more significant. Male, 40–59 years old, white, participants with diabetes and hypertension should be cautious that higher WWI might entail a risk of higher serum ferritin levels.
