    Abstract: Introduction: The pathogenesis of epigastric pain in functional dyspepsia (FD) is complex. The study aims to explore the effect of sleep improvement on this symptom. Methods: In total, 120 patients with FD-associated epigastric pain and insomnia were randomly divided into experimental and control groups using the envelope method. After applying the exclusion criteria, 107 patients were enrolled in the experimental (56 patients) and control (51 patients) groups. Insomnia was graded according to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). In the experimental group, eszopiclone 3 mg, eszopiclone 3 mg + estazolam 1 mg, and eszopiclone 3 mg + estazolam 2 mg were given to patients with mild, moderate, and severe insomnia, respectively. In the control group, patients were given 1, 2, or 3 tablets of vitamin B complex. Patient sleep quality was monitored with Sleepthing. Epigastric pain was evaluated with a Numeric Rating Scale. The serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Pain scores, sleep parameters, and serum levels of inflammatory mediators were compared before and after treatment. Results: After treatment, the pain scores, sleep parameters, and TNF-α and IL-6 levels in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p & lt; 0.05). PSQI insomnia scores were significantly associated with pain scores, IL-6, and TNF-α (p & lt; 0.05) but not in IL-8 and IL-1β levels (p & gt; 0.05) among the three groups. Conclusions: Improving sleep with eszopiclone and/or estazolam alleviates FD-associated epigastric pain, possibly by inhibiting related downstream transmission pathways and reducing the release of inflammatory mediators.

    Abstract: Background: The role of the histone ubiquitination-related gene in the cisplatin resistance of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains an intricate subject. Methods: We accessed transcriptome data of both wild type and cisplatin-resistant cells from the GSE108214 dataset, and garnered transcriptome and clinical data of LUAD patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Utilizing the R software, we analyzed these public datasets in depth. Real-time Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the RNA level of CUL4B. Effect of CUL4B on cell proliferation was evaluated using CCK8 and colony formation assay. Effect of CUL4B on cell invasion was evaluated using transwell assay. Cisplatin sensitivity was evaluated by calculating IC50. Results: Our analysis shed light on the significance of the histone ubiquitination-related gene, CUL4B, in relation to cisplatin resistance and the overall survival rates of LUAD patients. Notably, CUL4B was found to be overexpressed in both lung cancer tissues and cells. Meanwhile, in vitro experiments indicated can CUL4B significantly promote the proliferation, invasion and migration of lung cancer cells. Furthermore, suppressing CUL4B expression led to a noticeable reduction in the IC50 value of cisplatin in lung cancer cells. A deep dive into biological enrichment analysis revealed that among patients exhibiting high CUL4B expression, there was a pronounced activation of the G2M checkpoint and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways. Immune microenvironment analysis has revealed that patients with elevated CUL4B expression may exhibit increased infiltration of M2 macrophages, coupled with a reduced infiltration of CD8 + T cells and activated NK cells. Notably, we observed higher CUL4B expression among those who responded positively to immunotherapy. Conclusion: These findings underscore the significance of CUL4B in the resistance to cisplatin in lung cancer, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target.

    Abstract: Immunotherapy has gradually become an important therapy option for lung cancer patients. Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases were responsible for all the public data. Results In our study, we firstly identified 22 characteristic genes of NSCLC immunotherapy response using the machine learning algorithm. Molecule subtyping was then conducted and two patient subtypes were identified Cluster1 and Cluster2. Results showed that Cluster1 patients had a lower TIDE score and were more sensitive to immunotherapy in both TCGA and combined GEO cohorts. Biological enrichment analysis showed that pathways of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), apical junction, KRAS signaling, myogenesis, G2M checkpoint, E2F targets, WNT/β-catenin signaling, hedgehog signaling, hypoxia were activated in Cluster2 patients. Genomic instability between Cluster1 and Cluster2 patients was not significantly different. Interestingly, we found that female patients were more adaptable to immunotherapy. Biological enrichment revealed that compared with female patients, pathways of MYC target, G2M checkpoints, mTORC1 signaling, MYC target, E2F target, KRAS signaling, oxidative phosphorylation, mitotic spindle and P53 pathway were activated. Meanwhile, monocytes might have a potential role in affecting NSCLC immunotherapy and underlying mechanism has been explored. Finally, we found that SEC14L3 and APCDD1L were the underlying targets affecting immunotherapy, as well as patients survival. Conclusions These results can provide direction and guidance for future research focused on NSCLC immunotherapy.

    Abstract: Background. The role of disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs remains unclear in lung adenocarcinoma. Methods. Analysis in R software was conducted using different R packages, which are based on the public data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The transwell assay was used to evaluate the invasion and migration abilities of lung cancer cells. Results. In our study, we identified 1401 lncRNAs significantly correlated with disulfidptosis-related genes (|Cor|  〉  0.3 and P 〈 0.05 ). Then, we constructed a prognosis model consisting of 11 disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs, including AL133445.2, AL442125.1, AC091132.2, AC090948.1, AC020765.2, CASC8, AL606834.1, LINC00707, OGFRP1, U91328.1, and GASAL1. This prognosis model has satisfactory prediction performance. Also, the risk score and clinical information were combined to develop a nomogram. Analyses of biological enrichment and immune-related data were used to identify underlying differences between patients at high-risk and low-risk groups. Moreover, we noticed that the immunotherapy nonresponders have higher risk scores. Meanwhile, patients at a high risk responded more strongly to docetaxel, paclitaxel, and vinblastine. Furthermore, further analysis of the model lncRNA OGFRP1 was conducted, including clinical, immune infiltration, biological enrichment analysis, and a transwell assay. We discovered that by inhibiting OGFRP1, the invasion and migration abilities of lung cancer cells could be remarkably hindered. Conclusion. The results of our study can provide directions for future research in the relevant areas. Moreover, the prognosis signature we identified has the potential for clinical application.

    Abstract: Fu Brick tea belongs to fermented dark tea, which is one of the six categories of tea. Fu Brick tea has been reported to reduce adiposity and has beneficial effects in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease. Theabrownin (TB) is one of the pigments with the most abundant content in Fu Brick tea. TB has also been reported to have lipid-lowering effects, but its mechanism remains unclear. We found that TB could effectively reduce the insulin resistance and fat deposition induced by a high fat diet (HFD), decrease inflammation in the liver, improve intestinal integrity, and reduce endotoxins in circulation. Further studies showed that TB increased the abundance of Verrucomicrobiota and reduced the abundance of Firmicutes and Desulfobacterota in the intestinal tract of obese mice. The alteration of gut microbiota is closely linked to the metabolic phenotype after TB treatment through correlation analysis. Moreover, TB changed the gut microbial metabolites including l -ornithine, α-ketoglutarate, and glutamine, which have also been found to be upregulated in the liver after TB intervention. In vitro , l -ornithine, α-ketoglutarate, or glutamine significantly reduced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in macrophages. Therefore, our results suggest that TB can reduce adiposity, systemic insulin resistance, and liver inflammation induced by a HFD through altering gut microbiota and improving the intestinal tight junction integrity. The metabolites of gut microbiota might also play a role in ameliorating the HFD-induced phenotype by TB.

    Abstract: Background: Cisplatin resistance is a common clinical problem in lung cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated, highlighting the importance of searching for biological targets. Methods: Bioinformatics analysis is completed through downloaded public data (GSE21656, GSE108214, and TCGA) and specific R packages. The evaluation of cell proliferation ability is completed through CCK8 assay, colony formation, and EdU assay. The evaluation of cell invasion and migration ability is completed through transwell and wound-healing assays. In addition, we evaluated cell cisplatin sensitivity by calculating IC 50 . Results: Here, we found that PCDH7 may be involved in cisplatin resistance in lung cancer through public database analysis (GSE21656 and GSE108214). Then, a series of in vitro experiments was performed, which verified the cancer-promoting role of PCDH7 in NSCLC. Moreover, the results of IC 50 detection showed that PCDH7 might be associated with cisplatin resistance of NSCLC. Next, we investigated the single-cell pattern, biological function, and immune analysis of PCDH7. Importantly, we noticed PCDH7 may regulate epithelial–mesenchymal transition activity, and the local infiltration of CD8 + T and activated NK cells. Furthermore, we noticed that patients with high PCDH7 expression might be more sensitive to bortezomib, docetaxel, and gemcitabine, and resistant to immunotherapy. Finally, a prognosis model based on three PCDH7-derived genes ( GPX8 , BCAR3 , and TNS4 ) was constructed through a machine learning algorithm, which has good prediction ability on NSCLC patients’ survival. Conclusion: Our research has improved the regulatory framework for cisplatin resistance in NSCLC and can provide direction for subsequent related research, especially regarding PCDH7.

    Abstract: The most common cause of death for colon cancer patients is liver metastasis. Methods All the data enrolled in this study were downloaded from two public databases, The Cancer Genome Atlas Program, the TCGA-COAD project and Gene Expression Omnibus, GSE41258 project. All the analysis was performed in R software. Results In our study, we systematically explored the molecules involved in the liver metastasis process of colon cancer. The biological role of these molecules was identified through the GO and KEGG analysis. Moreover, we identified that the molecules SERPINA3, SERPINA1, MMP3, ALDH1A3, PBK and CXCL14 were the independent factors for patients survival. The CXCL14 was selected for further analysis for its most significant P value. Single-cell analysis showed that the CXCL14 was mainly expressed in the fibroblasts. Meanwhile, the biological role of fibroblasts in the colon cancer microenvironment was investigated. Further, the clinical role of CXCL14 in colon cancer was also explored. The result showed that the CXCL14 is a protective factor against colon cancer independent of other clinical parameters like age, gender, clinical stage, and TNM classifications. Then, biological enrichment analysis indicated that the CXCL14 is predominantly involved in the activating of the WNT/β/catenin pathway, pancreas beta cells, peroxisome and bile acid metabolism. Immune infiltration analysis showed that for the patients with high CXCL14 levels, the plasma B cells, CD8 + T cells, neutrophil and NK cells might infiltrate more, in contrast to B cells, monocyte and macrophages. Furthermore, we found that the patients with low CXCL14 expression might be more sensitive to etoposide, rapamycin and sunitinib. Conclusions Our result could improve the understanding of the liver metastasis process in colon cancer. Also, CXCL14 was identified as an underlying therapeutic target for colon cancer.

    Abstract: The progression process of lung cancer can be accelerated by M2 macrophages. However, genes that affect M2 macrophage polarization remain unidentified. Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas, Gene Expression Omnibus, and Arrayexpress databases were used to obtain open-access data. The analysis of public data was mostly performed with R studio. The RNA levels of specific genes were detected using quantitative real-time PCR. The proliferation ability of the cells was assessed by CCK8, colony formation, and EdU assays. Results Based on the multiple datasets, we noticed a poor prognosis in patients with high M2 macrophage infiltration. There were 114 genes differentially expressed between high and low M2 macrophages infiltrated samples, regarded as M2 macrophage-related genes. Subsequently, a prognosis prediction signature consisting of ABHD5, HS3ST2, TM6SF1, CAPZA2, LEPROT, HNMT, and MRO was identified and presented a satisfactory performance. The pathway enrichment results revealed a positive correlation between riskscore and enrichment scores for most immunotherapy-related positive terms. Also, there might be an increase in genomic instability among patients at high risk. Interestingly, low risk patients are most likely to benefit from PD-1 therapy, while high risk patients may benefit from CTLA-4 therapy. Meanwhile, the estimated IC50 of seven drugs differs significantly between two risk groups, including Cisplatin, Docetaxel, Doxorubicin, Gefitinib, Paclitaxel, Sunitinib and Vinorelbine. Moreover, further experiments indicated that HNMT was overexpressed and can enhance the proliferation ability in lung cancer cells. Conclusions In summary, our study identified the molecules significantly affecting M2 macrophage infiltration and identified a prognosis signature that robustly indicated patients prognosis. Moreover, we validated the cancer-promoting effect of HNMT using in vitro experiments.
