    Abstract: Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is associated with poor clinical outcomes and identifying novel biomarkers that are involved in the progression of LUSC is important for prognosis and targeted treatment. Herein, ankyrin repeat domain 49 (ANKRD49) protein in LUSC versus paired noncancerous lung tissues was tested and its clinical significance was evaluated through χ 2 test, log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards model. The results showed the ANKRD49 protein in LUSC was elevated and correlated with the tumor-node-metastasis stage, lymph node metastasis, distal metastasis, and differentiation. Patients with higher ANKRD49 had lower overall survival rate and higher ANKRD49 expression in lung tissues may be used as an independent prognostic marker for LUSC patients.

    Abstract: Introduction: Myocardial infarction (MI) is characterized by cardiac dysfunction and increased cardiomyocyte death, induced mainly by apoptosis. Using an unbiased transcriptome analysis, we identified flavin containing monooxygenase 2 (FMO2) as one of the top-ranked genes involved in the process of MI. In this study, we investigate the roles of FMO2 in ischemic injury and its potential mechanisms. Hypothesis: FMO2 exhibits the cardiac protection from MI injury. Methods: Male SD rats receiving either adeno-associated virus serotype 9 containing FMO2 shRNA particles (AAV-shFMO2) or FMO2 (AAV-FMO2), and FMO2 knockout rats were subjected to myocardial infarction surgery. Cardiac function, fibrosis, and apoptosis were examined in these rats and related cellular and molecular mechanisms were investigated. Results: Cardiac ischemia injury was associated with significant increases of FMO2 levels both in ex vivo and in vivo models. Loss of FMO2 significantly enhanced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and deteriorated cardiac function accompanied by augmented infarct size in infarcted rat hearts, while elevated expression of FMO2 exhibited the opposite results. Mechanically, located on the ER membrane, FMO2 inhibited activation of ER stress-initiated apoptotic proteins including caspase 12 and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), via down-regulating upstream unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway. Furthermore, we found that FMO2, as a novel chaperone in ER, directly catalyzed disulfide-bond synthesis to facilitate proteins folding. Finally, structure analysis of FMO2 revealed the active site GVSG for disulfide-bond catalysis, which was confirmed by the molecular docking experiment of GSH with FMO2. However, FMO2 with GVSG mutation failed to catalyze disulfide-bond formation and lost protection from ER stress or apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. Conclusion: FMO2 confers cardiac protection from ischemic damage due to improved cardiomyocyte apoptosis through UPR pathway, which is mediated by disulfide-bond catalysis at GVSG active site. Our findings uncover a novel FMO2-involved regulatory mechanism which could serves as a potential therapeutic target for ischemic cardiovascular diseases.

    Abstract: Bupleurum chinense, a well-known Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been used for thousands of years in China. In this study, we would suggest that Bupleurum polysaccharides (BPS) could improve the prognosis of sepsis through its impact on redistribution of BMCs, which triggers immune reversal in late sepsis. Methods: BALB/c mice were divided into five groups: sham burn group, burn plus P aeruginosa group, burn plus P aeruginosa with BPS (40 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, and 250 mg/kg) treatment group, and they were sacrificed at post-burn day (PBD) 0, 3, 5, and 7. BMCs, liver cells, and dendritic cells (DCs) were harvested. Flow cytometry was used to determine the change of phenotypes of DCs and isolate these cells. Cytometric beads array was utilized to analyze the level of inflammatory factors. Cell therapy of BMCs, liver cells, and DCs was administrated to explore the protective role of regional organ immunity. Results: BPS could decrease the lethality of burn sepsis in a dose-dependent fashion and increase both the percentage of CD11c - CD45RB high DCs in bone marrow (BM) and liver and the number of BMCs and liver cells significantly. Cell therapy of BMCs, liver cells, and CD11c - CD45RB high DCs at PBD7 could protect septic mice from sepsis. Conclusion: BPS has shown its potential in promoting the prognosis of post-burn sepsis through its effect on immune redistribution of BMCs, especially via differentiation of CD11c - CD45RB high DC cells in BM and nonimmune organs to induce immune reversal in late sepsis.

    Abstract: Identifying the key factor mediating pathological cardiac hypertrophy is critically important for developing the strategy to protect against heart failure. Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) is a mechanosensitive and proinflammatory gene. In this study, we investigated the role of BMP4 in cardiac hypertrophy, apoptosis, and fibrosis in experimentally pathological cardiac hypertrophy. The in vivo pathological cardiac hypertrophy models were induced by pressure-overload and angiotensin (Ang) II constant infusion in mice, and the in vitro model was induced by Ang II exposure to cultured cardiomyocytes. The expression of BMP4 increased in pressure overload, Ang II constant infusion-induced pathological cardiac hypertrophy, but not in swimming exercise-induced physiological cardiac hypertrophy in mice. BMP4 expression also increased in Ang II–induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vitro. In turn, BMP4 induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, apoptosis, and cardiac fibrosis, and these pathological consequences were inhibited by the treatment with BMP4 inhibitors noggin and DMH1. Moreover, Ang II–induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was inhibited by BMP4 inhibitors. The underlying mechanism that BMP4-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and apoptosis was through increasing NADPH oxidase 4 expression and reactive oxygen species-dependent pathways. Lentivirus-mediated overexpression of BMP4 recapitulated hypertrophy and apoptosis in cultured cardiomyocytes. BMP4 inhibitor DMH1 inhibited pressure overload–induced cardiac hypertrophy in mice in vivo. The plasma BMP4 level of heart failure patients was increased compared with that of subjects without heart failure. In summary, we conclude that BMP4 is a mediator and novel therapeutic target for pathological cardiac hypertrophy.

    Abstract: Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 (PAPP-A2) is the homolog of PAPP-A in the vertebrate genome and its role in protecting against salt-induced hypertension in salt-sensitive rats has been confirmed. We sought to examine the associations of plasma PAPP-A2 levels and its genetic variants with salt sensitivity, blood pressure (BP) changes and hypertension incidence in humans. Methods: Eighty participants (18–65 years old) sequentially consuming a usual diet, a 7-day low-salt diet (3.0 g/day) and a 7-day high-salt diet (18 g/day). In addition, we studied participants of the original Baoji Salt-Sensitive Study, recruited from 124 families in Northern China in 2004 who received the same salt intake intervention, and evaluated them for the development of hypertension over 14 years. Results: The plasma PAPPA2 levels significantly decreased with the change from baseline to a low-salt diet and decreased further when converting from the low-salt to high-salt diet. SNP rs12042763 in the PAPP-A2 gene was significantly associated with systolic BP responses to both low-salt and high-salt diet while SNP rs2861813 showed a significant association with the changes in SBP and pulse pressure at 14-year follow-up. Additionally, SNPs rs2294654 and rs718067 demonstrated a significant association with the incidence of hypertension over the 14-year follow-up. Finally, the gene-based analysis found that Pappa2 was significantly associated with longitudinal SBP changes and the incidence of hypertension over the 14-year follow-up. Conclusions: This study shows that dietary salt intake affects plasma PAPP-A2 levels and that PAPP-A2 may play a role in salt sensitivity, BP progression and development of hypertension in the Chinese populations.

    Abstract: The primary aim of this study is to examine the hemodynamics of retrobulbar and intrarenal in the changes of early stage of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients from 2000 to 2015 and to assess incidence associated with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). Method: Our study contained 60 subjects newly diagnosed of T2DM were divided into 2 groups base on the mean resistive index (RI) (≤0.7 and 〉 0.7) of hemodynamic and to compare between-group differences of the early changes in hemodynamics of retrobulbar and intrarenal and also to conclude the incidences of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR)subsequently with a long follow-up duration(2000–2015). First, to compare the mean RI of central retinal artery (CRA) between 2 groups. Second, to compare the mean RI of intrarenal hemodynamics in the bilateral interlobular renal arteries, renal function parameters (blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), blood glucose parameters (glycosylated hemoglobinA1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FBG), and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2hPBG)), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), albumin excretion rate (AER), and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) between 2 groups. Results: First part of our follow-up studies was to compare hemodynamic RI index of retrobulbar in years of 2000 and 2015, both renal function and blood glucose parameters were fund significantly enhanced in subject group RIs ≤0.7. Incidence of DKD and DR was notably lower in group RIs ≤0.7 than group RIs 〉  0.7, difference was statistically significant ( P   〈  .05). Incidence of HbA1c ≤7% was higher in group RIs ≤0.7 than group RIs 〉 0.7, but difference was not statistically significant ( P   〉  .05). Incidence of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) was notably lower in group RIs ≤0.7 than group RIs 〉 0.7, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P   〉  .05). Second part of our follow-up studies was to compare hemodynamic RI index of interlobular renal in years of 2000 and 2015, both renal function and blood glucose parameters were fund significantly enhanced in subject group RIs ≤0.7. Compared data of various incidences from first part of study were coherent with second part. (Incidence of DKD and DR was notably lower in group RIs ≤0.7 than group RIs 〉 0.7, difference was statistically significant ( P   〈  .05). Incidence of HbA1c ≤7% was higher in group RIs ≤0.7 than group RIs 〉 0.7, but difference was not statistically significant ( P   〉  .05). Incidence of PDR was notably lower in group RIs ≤0.7 than group RIs 〉 0.7, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P   〉  .05). Conclusions: RIs of retrobulbar and interlobular renal which would serve as a good predictors for the hemodynamics changes in retrobulbar and intrarenal would assess incidence of DKD and DR during the preclinical stage in long-term range excluding renal function and HbA1c in T2DM patients.

    Abstract: Characterizing and assessing the prevalence, awareness, and treatment patterns of patients with isolated diastolic hypertension ( IDH ) can generate new knowledge and highlight opportunities to improve their care. Methods and Results We used data from the China PEACE (Patient‐centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events) Million Persons Project, which screened 2 351 035 participants aged 35 to 75 years between 2014 and 2018. IDH was defined as systolic and diastolic blood pressure of 〈 140 and ≥90 mm Hg; awareness as self‐reported diagnosis of hypertension; and treatment as current use of antihypertensive medications. Of the 2 310 184 participants included (mean age 55.7 years; 59.5% women); 73 279 (3.2%) had IDH , of whom 63 112 (86.1%) were untreated, and only 6512 (10.3%) of the untreated were aware of having hypertension. When compared with normotensives, participants who were 〈 60 years, men, at least college educated, had body mass index of 〉 28 kg/m 2 , consumed alcohol, had diabetes mellitus, and prior cardiovascular events were more likely to have IDH (all P 〈 0.01). Among those with IDH , higher likelihood of awareness was associated with increased age, women, college education, body mass index of 〉 28 kg/m 2 , higher income, diabetes mellitus, prior cardiovascular events, and Central or Eastern region (all P 〈 0.05). Most treated participants with IDH reported taking only 1 class of antihypertensive medication. Conclusions IDH affects a substantial number of people in China, however, few are aware of having hypertension and most treated participants are poorly managed, which suggests the need to improve the diagnosis and treatment of people with IDH .

    Abstract: Most cardiovascular diseases occur in low‐ and middle‐income regions of the world, but the socioeconomic distribution within China remains unclear. Our study aims to investigate whether the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases differs among high‐, middle‐, and low‐income regions of China and to explore the reasons for the disparities. Methods and Results We enrolled 46 285 individuals from 115 urban and rural communities in 12 provinces across China between 2005 and 2009. We recorded their medical histories of cardiovascular diseases and calculated the INTERHEART Risk Score for the assessment of cardiovascular risk‐factor burden, with higher scores indicating greater burden. The mean INTERHEART Risk Score was higher in high‐ and middle‐income regions than in low‐income regions (9.47, 9.48, and 8.58, respectively, P 〈 0.0001). By contrast, the prevalence of total cardiovascular disease (stroke, ischemic heart disease, and other heart diseases that led to hospitalization) was lower in high‐ and middle‐income regions than in low‐income regions (7.46%, 7.42%, and 8.36%, respectively, P trend =0.0064). In high‐ and middle‐income regions, urban communities have higher INTERHEART Risk Score and higher prevalent rate than rural communities. In low‐income regions, however, the prevalence of total cardiovascular disease was similar between urban and rural areas despite the significantly higher INTERHEART Risk Score for urban settings. Conclusions We detected an inverse trend between risk‐factor burden and cardiovascular disease prevalence in urban and rural communities in high‐, middle‐, and low‐income regions of China. Such asymmetry may be attributed to the interregional differences in residents’ awareness, quality of healthcare, and availability and affordability of medical services.
