    Perfluorinated compounds (PFAS) are a new class of persistent organic pollutants that have attracted wide attention in recent years. With the increasing restrictions on PFAS in Europe and the United States, the production of PFAS is gradually transferring to China. The amount of PFAS used in China is increasing year by year, but there are no strict restrictions on the use of them. Furthermore, the safety limits are heading down in Europe and the United States. Based on the updated safety limits, studies in Chinese population have gradually indicated the potential risk of PFAS. This review summarizes the updated international safety limits, and introduces the research progress in health risk assessment of PFAS exposure in Chinese population according to different sources of exposure (diet, milk, drinking water, dust, atmosphere, placental transfer and comprehensive sources). The existing studies mainly focus on the health risk of PFAS exposure in high PFAS-polluted areas and in sensitive infant population in China, while the health risk of PFAS exposure in general population still needs to be further evaluated. It is necessary to carry out relevant work, which can provide reference for relevant government departments to formulate PFAS control standards and safety limits in line with China's national conditions as soon as possible. In addition, the future assessment research should pay more attention to complex evaluation of various sources of PFAS and the health hazards of PFAS alternatives.

    Abstract1540)   HTML44)    PDF(pc) (2075KB)(939)       Save
    Objective

    ·To establish a novel mice model of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

    Methods

    ·Sixteen 8-week-old SPF grade male and female C57BL/6J mice each were randomly divided into control group or model group (n=8 per group). The model group was given high-fat diet containing 60% fat and drinking water containing 0.5 g/L Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME). The control group was given routine feed and drinking water. The ratio of peak early mitral velocity to peak late mitral velocity (E/A ratio) and the ratio of peak early mitral velocity to peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E/E' ratio) were detected by echocardiography every two weeks to evaluate left ventricular diastolic function. At the 16th week after modeling, the myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis were examined by Masson staining and hematoxylin-eosin staining. The levels of serum triacylglycerol (TAG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-Ch) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-Ch) were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer.

    Results

    ·HFpEF appeared in the male mice at 8 weeks after high-fat diet and L-NAME administration, with a significant increase in E/A ratio and E/E′ ratio in comparison to the male control group (both P=0.000). There was no significant difference in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between male model group and male control group. On the other hand, the female mice fed with high-fat diet and drinking water containing L-NAME also displayed obvious HFpEF after 8 weeks. E/A ratio and E/E' ratio in female model group were significantly higher than those in the female control group (P=0.000, P=0.001). There was no significant difference in LVEF between female model group and female control group. At the 16th week after modeling, both male and female mice still displayed the characteristics of HFpEF. Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of male and female model group were significantly higher than those of respective control groups. Male or female mice with HFpEF showed obvious myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis along with left ventricular remodeling. The serum levels of TAG, TC, HDL-Ch and LDL-Ch in the model groups were significantly higher than those in the respective control groups.

    Conclusion

    ·High-fat feeding combined with L-NAME administration can induce HFpEF in both male and female mice.

    JOURNAL OF SHANGHAI JIAOTONG UNIVERSITY (MEDICAL SCIENCE)    2021, 41 (8): 1017-1024.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-8115.2021.08.004
    Abstract1146)   HTML225)    PDF(pc) (4693KB)(782)       Save
    Objective

    ·To improve the cultivating and passaging method of breast cancer organoids, and establish a co-culture system enriching cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs).

    Methods

    ·Different types of collagenases (type Ⅰ, type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ) were used to digest fresh tissues from 5 breast cancer patients. The number of cells after tissue digestion was counted by cell counting method, and cell viability was analyzed by cell flow cytometry. Three-dimensional culture of primary breast cancer single cells was carried out by using culture system containing different contents of fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF7), FGF10 and epidermal growth factor (EGF). The success rate of cell culture and the growing status of organoids were observed and compared. Different centrifugation speeds were used to compare the advantages and disadvantages of passaging methods and simplify the passaging steps. CCK8 assay was used to study the effect of CAFs on the growth of organoids in the co-culture system of primary CAFs and organoids, and the morphological changes of organoids were observed under optical microscope.

    Results

    ·Compared with type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagenase, type Ⅳ collagenase got the highest cell yields (P=0.045, P=0.017), and maintained the highest cell viability (P=0.005, P=0.048). By optimizing the composition of organoid medium (omitting FGF7 and FGF10, reducing EGF concentration) and passaging process (improving centrifugal velocity to 900×g), a more economical, effective and rapid method of organoid culture was obtained. Compared with organoids cultured alone, the growth rate (P<0.05) and heterogeneity of organoids increased when organoids were co-cultured with CAFs.

    Conclusion

    ·The optimized culture system can significantly increase the success rate of organoids, simplify the culture steps and reduce the culture cost. The establishment of primary CAFs and organoids co-culture system provides a good in vitro model for the study of breast cancer heterogeneity and tumor microenvironment.

    Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is the most common degenerative disease in the temporomandibular joint, mainly manifesting with pain in the joints and the muscles, joint locking, popping, crepitus, and limited mouth opening, which may undermine the quality of patients' life. The main pathological features of TMJOA include chronic synovitis, progressive articular cartilage degeneration, and abnormal subchondral bone remodeling. At present, its pathogenesis is still unclear, and abnormal mechanical load, trauma, heredity, metabolism, gender and age can all be regarded as pathogenic factors. Commonly used diagnostic methods for TMJOA include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography [(CT/cone beam CT (CBCT)]. The staging standards of TMJOA mainly include Wilkes staging system and Yang's staging system. The clinical treatment of TMJOA mainly includes two categories: non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment. Non-surgical treatment includes health education, psychological consultation, medication, occlusion treatment, etc. Surgical treatment includes arthrocentesis, arthroscopic surgery, disc anchoring, autogenous tissue graft, and total joint replacement. This paper summarizes the diagnosis, staging, surgical treatment and postoperative evaluation of TMJOA on the basis of literature review, and proposes diagnosis and treatment protocols based on the experience of the TMJ Center of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, so as to provide reference for clinicians.

    Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor. The difficulty of early diagnosis and scarcity of effective clinical treatment strategies lead to poor prognosis. Tumor microenvironment (TME) of pancreatic cancer is composed of tumor cells, immune cells, stromal cells, extracellular matrix and soluble factors. TME plays an important role in the development, progression, invasion and metastasis of tumors. The pancreatic cancer microenvironment has significant immune cell infiltration, which is highly immunosuppressive. On the one hand, tumor cells edit the immune system so that cancer cells cannot be recognized by the immune system; on the other hand, they can recruit and activate various immunosuppressive cells such as pancreatic stellate cells, myeloid-derived inhibitory cells, tumor-associated macrophages, regulatory T cells and so on. These immunosuppressive cells can secrete immunosuppressive molecules, affect the function of anti-tumor immune cells, inhibit the host′s anti-tumor immune response, lead to tumor immune escape, and promote tumor development and metastasis. In this review, the mechanisms and effects of these immunosuppressive components are discussed and the updated results of immunotherapy on pancreatic cancer are studied, which may provide novel insights on TME and immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer.

    A novel antithrombotic antibody targeting the binding sites of the coagulation factor FⅨa-FⅧa complex
    Tian-yao SUN, Shi-feng JIANG, Qin XU, Jun-ling LIU, Su-ying DANG, Xue-mei FAN
    JOURNAL OF SHANGHAI JIAOTONG UNIVERSITY (MEDICAL SCIENCE)    2021, 41 (9): 1133-1141.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-8115.2021.09.001
    Abstract576)      PDF(pc) (6502KB)(687)       Save
    Objective

    ·To prepare a monoclonal antibody targeting coagulation factor Ⅸa (FⅨa), a key factor in endogenous coagulation pathways, and study its antithrombotic roles and mechanisms.

    Methods

    ·Immunization of mice, hybridoma technology, cell expression and purification were used to prepare the anti-FⅨa monoclonal antibodies of high purity. The monoclonal antibodies with high affinity for FⅨa were screened by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) were used to evaluate the antithrombotic effects of the monoclonal antibody. And then chromogenic substrate method was used to detect the effect of monoclonal antibody on the enzyme activity of FⅨa. The method of computer simulation of protein-protein docking was adopted to predict the possible binding sites between FⅨa and the antibody, and the binding site, was verified by competitive experiments (indirectly through the chromatic substrate method).

    Results

    ·FⅨa-4, an anti-FⅨa monoclonal antibody with high affinity, was generated. Although FⅨa-4 did not affect PT and the enzyme activity of FⅨa, it significantly prolonged APTT to 88.8 s, which was 3.5 times of the control group (25.5 s), in a concentration-gradient dependence. The protein-protein docking prediction results revealed that FⅨa-4 did not directly bind to substrate catalytic sites of FⅨa, but occupied the binding region of FⅨa and FⅧa. Competitive experiments further verified the above results. FⅨa-4 inhibited FⅩa production in a dose-dependent manner, almost completely inhibiting FⅩa production at the concentrations of 400 pmol/L, and FⅧa could correct the inhibition effect of the antibody up to nearly 50%.

    Conclusion

    ·The monoclonal antibody against FⅨa-4 is obtained. FⅨa-4 competes with FⅧa to bind FⅨa, and inhibits the conversion of FⅩ to FⅩa which is catalyzed by FⅧa-FⅨa complex; it plays an antithrombotic role mainly by inhibiting endogenous coagulation pathway.

    Lactic acid is a product of cell respiration. After entering into cells, glucose is metabolized to pyruvate by glycolysis. When the oxygen supply is sufficient, pyruvate is converted to acetyl coenzyme A through pyruvate dehydrogenase in the mitochondrial matrix to participate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and provide necessary energy for cells. Pyruvate is catalysed by lactate dehydrogenase in the cytoplasm to produce lactate while cells are grown under hypoxic conditions. Lactate not only provides energy for mitochondrial respiration, but also plays important roles in inflammatory responser, wound repair, memory formation and neuroprotection as well as tumor growth and metastasis and other pathophysiological processes through autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine forms, which affects the development and prognosis of diseases. Epigenetic modification regulates gene replication, transcription and translation by covalently adding or hydrolyzing functional groups on histones and DNA through related enzymes and affects the biological effects of cells. Histones are the major structural proteins of eukaryotic chromosomes. Their post-translational modifications, such as methylation and acetylation, affect their affinity with DNA, change chromatin structures, and are widely involved in regulation of gene expression. Recent studies have found that histones can undergo lactylation, which is a new epigenetic modification by adding lactate to lysine residues on histones. As the research deepens, numerous evidences reveal that lactylation also occurs on non-histone proteins. The discovery of lactylation has expanded our understanding of lactate functions in the pathogenesis of diseases. In this review, we summarize the roles and mechanisms of lactylation in tumor, inflammatory and neural system diseases, in order to provide new ideas for the research, diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.

    Objective ·To investigate the effects of several key proteins of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on macropinocytosis in various cell models. Methods ·① The interactions between spike protein receptor-binding domain (S-RBD), nucleocapsid protein (N) and non-structural protein-7 (NSP7) of SARS-COV-2 and HEK-293T intracellular proteins were explored by co-immunoprecipitation assay. ② In vitro, S-RBD, N and NSP7 proteins of SARS-CoV-2 were incubated with HEK-293T/bEnd.3/Beas-2b cells (normal cell models), respectively, and the changes of macropinocytosis level of cells labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-70 kDa-dextran were observed. ③ In vitro, S-RBD, N and NSP7 proteins of SARS-CoV-2 were incubated with inflammatory cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), respectively, and the changes of macropinocytosis level of inflammatory cells were analyzed. ④ In the normal cell models and inflammatory cell model, EIPA or lipoprotein nano-drug carriers loaded with Rab5 small interfering RNA (siRNA) were used to inhibit the macropinocytosis induced by SARS-CoV-2 proteins, respectively, and the uptake of S-RBD, N and NSP7 proteins by cells were further observed. Results ·① The three proteins of SARS-COV-2 could bind to Rab small GTPase proteins after being absorbed into cells. ② It was found that S-RBD, N and NSP7 proteins of SARS-COV-2 could induce the macropinocytosis after entering the HEK-293T/bEnd.3/Beas-2b cells. ③ Furthermore, the three proteins of SARS-COV-2 could enhance the megapinocytosis of the inflammatory cell. ④ After treatment with EIPA (75 μmol/L) or lipoprotein nano-drug carriers loaded with Rab5 siRNA, the uptake of S-RBD, N and NSP7 proteins were decreased in both types of cells. Conclusion ·S-RBD, N and NSP7 proteins of SARS-CoV-2 can up-regulate megapinocytosis levels in various cell models, especially in the case of combined inflammation infection. At the same time, macropinocytosis inhibitor / lipoprotein nano-drug carrier can inhibit the macropinocytosis up-regulated by the above proteins, and then reduce the entry levels of viral proteins.

    Objective

    ·To investigate the effect of laparoscope on the treatment of high jejunal atresia and stenosis in neonates.

    Methods

    ·From January 2009 to December 2019, 90 neonates with high jejunal atresia and stenosis were operated on Children′s Hospital of Shanxi province. According to whether laparoscopic surgery was used or not, they were divided into laparoscopic group (n=66) and laparotomy group (n=24). In the laparoscopic group, 27 cases of type Ⅰ atresia and stenosis less than 10 cm from Treitz ligament were anastomosed under laparoscopy, and 39 cases of jejunal atresia and stenosis 10?30 cm from the Treitz ligament, underwent extraperitoneal anastomosis by expanded trocar hole with the aid of single-site laparoscope. Traditional laparotomy exploratory incision was used in the laparotomy group. The operation time, the first postoperative oral feeding time, postoperative full oral feeding time [postoperative oral feeding volume reaching 150 mL/(kg·d)], the length of hospital stay, and mortality and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.

    Results

    ·There was no significant difference between the laparoscopic group and laparotomy group in age, gender, weight, premature infant, low birth weight, other systems malformation and pathological type. There was no significant difference in operation time between the laparoscopic group and laparotomy group [(77.0±24.0) min vs (82.0±24.0) min]. The first postoperative oral feeding time, postoperative full oral feeding time [postoperative oral feeding volume reaching 150 mL/(kg·d)], and the length of hospital stay in the laparoscopic group were shorter than those in the laparotomy group [(13.3±7.2) d, (19.1±8.1) d, (22.1±8.5) d vs (17.2±7.8) d,(23.7±10.6) d, (27.0±11.8) d, all P <0.05]. There was no significant difference between the laparoscopic group and laparotomy group in mortality (1/66 vs 2/24) and incidence of complications (7/66 vs 6/24).

    Conclusion

    ·Laparoscopic surgery is a safe and effective method in the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal high jejunal atresia/stenosis.

    Objective ·To investigate the dynamic distribution of paired related homebox 1 (Prrx1) positive cell lineage (Prrx1+ cell lineage) in periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) during tooth movement in mice by Cre/loxP recombination system. Methods ·By using Cre/loxP recombination system, inducible Prrx1-CreERT2mice were mated with R26tdTomato fluorescently labeled mice, and their offspring mice were genotyped by PCR. Eight offspring mice were injected with tamoxifen (TA) intraperitoneally to mark the Prrx1+cell lineage (tdTomato+ cells) in PDLSCs. The orthodontics tooth movement (OTM) model was constructed by placing a force-loading device on the left side of maxilla (i.e., OTM side), and the right side without force was control side (i.e., Ctrl side). The mice were sacrificed on the third day (OTM 3 d) and the seventh day (OTM 7 d) of tooth movement, and their bilateral maxillary molars and surrounding periodontium were collected, decalcified, embedded and frozen sectioned. The changes of periodontal ligament in the tension area and compression area were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining (H-E staining), and the dynamic distribution of Prrx1+ cell lineage was observed by immunofluorescence staining. Results ·The genotype of the offspring mice was identified by PCR as Prrx1-CreERT2;R26tdTomato . With the increased action of the stressing device, the tooth movement distance of OTM 7 d mice [(87.44±4.02) μm] increased significantly compared with that of the OTM 3 d mice [(42.81±5.04) μm], suggesting OTM model was successfully constructed. H-E staining showed that the periodontal ligament and its gap in the compression area of the OTM side was compressed and narrowed on OTM 3 d, and its width was gradually restored on OTM 7 d; the periodontal ligament in the tension area of the OTM side was stretched on OTM 3 d, and the periodontal ligament was more regularly arranged on OTM 7 d than that on OTM 3 d. Immunofluorescence staining showed that the number of tdTomato+ cells in the periodontal ligament of the compression area on the OTM side was lower than that of the Ctrl side on OTM 3 d, and the number of tdTomato+ cells in compression area on the OTM side was higher than that of the Ctrl side on OTM 7 d (both P<0.05); on both OTM 3 d and OTM 7 d, the number of tdTomato+ cells in tension area on the OTM side increased compared with that on the Ctrl side (both P<0.05). Conclusion ·The OTM model of Prrx1-CreERT2;R26tdTomato mice is successfully constructed, and the involvement of Prrx1+ cell lineage in periodontal remodeling during OTM is tentatively confirmed.
