Disease-Related Cellular Protein Networks Differentially Affected
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Disease‑related cellular protein networks diferentially afected under diferent EGFR mutations in lung adenocarcinoma Toshihide Nishimura1,8*, Haruhiko Nakamura1,2,8, Ayako Yachie3,8, Takeshi Hase3,8, Kiyonaga Fujii1,8, Hirotaka Koizumi4, Saeko Naruki4, Masayuki Takagi4, Yukiko Matsuoka3, Naoki Furuya5, Harubumi Kato6,7 & Hisashi Saji2 It is unclear how epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR major driver mutations (L858R or Ex19del) afect downstream molecular networks and pathways. This study aimed to provide information on the infuences of these mutations. The study assessed 36 protein expression profles of lung adenocarcinoma (Ex19del, nine; L858R, nine; no Ex19del/L858R, 18). Weighted gene co-expression network analysis together with analysis of variance-based screening identifed 13 co-expressed modules and their eigen proteins. Pathway enrichment analysis for the Ex19del mutation demonstrated involvement of SUMOylation, epithelial and mesenchymal transition, ERK/mitogen- activated protein kinase signalling via phosphorylation and Hippo signalling. Additionally, analysis for the L858R mutation identifed various pathways related to cancer cell survival and death. With regard to the Ex19del mutation, ROCK, RPS6KA1, ARF1, IL2RA and several ErbB pathways were upregulated, whereas AURK and GSKIP were downregulated. With regard to the L858R mutation, RB1, TSC22D3 and DOCK1 were downregulated, whereas various networks, including VEGFA, were moderately upregulated. In all mutation types, CD80/CD86 (B7), MHC, CIITA and IFGN were activated, whereas CD37 and SAFB were inhibited. Costimulatory immune-checkpoint pathways by B7/CD28 were mainly activated, whereas those by PD-1/PD-L1 were inhibited. Our fndings may help identify potential therapeutic targets and develop therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes.

Human VAMP3 Suppresses Or Negatively Regulates Bax Induced Apoptosis in Yeast
biomedicines Article Human VAMP3 Suppresses or Negatively Regulates Bax Induced Apoptosis in Yeast Damilare D. Akintade 1,2,* and Bhabatosh Chaudhuri 2 1 School of Life Sciences, Medical School, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2UH, UK 2 Leicester School of Pharmacy, De Montfort University, Leicester LE1 9BH, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Apoptosis is an essential process that is regulated genetically and could lead to a serious disease condition if not well controlled. Bax is one of the main proapoptotic proteins and actively involved in programmed cell death. It has been suggested that Bax induced apoptosis in yeast could be obstructed by enhancing vesicular membrane trafficking. Plasma membrane proteins and lipid oxidation were reduced by a vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP) when expressed in yeast, suggesting its potential role in repairing membranes. Membrane integrity is crucial, as the loss of membrane integrity will result in the leakage of ions from mitochondria, and ultimately cell death due to overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Expression of Arabidopsis’ VAMP has been linked to antiapoptosis activity. Since plant VAMP has been associated with antiapoptotic activities, this study investigates the possible participation of human VAMP3 in blocking human Bax mediated apoptosis. Some novel genes were identified to rescue Bax’s proapoptotic effects, in a yeast-based human hippocampal cDNA library screen. VAMP3 (a gene code for proteins involved in protein secretion) gene was chosen for further study to confirm its role in inhibiting apoptosis. VAMP3 was coexpressed with a chromosomally integrated Bax gene expression cassette driven by the GAL1 promoter.

Int J Clin Exp Pathol 2019;12(7):2552-2558 www.ijcep.com /ISSN:1936-2625/IJCEP0090788 Original Article Decreased expression of serum miR-647 is associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer Huan Ma1, Peijun Wang2, Yuan Li1, Yan Yang1, Shuhui Zhan1, Yuqiang Gao1 1Division of Gastroenterology, Qingdao Municipal Hospital, Qingdao, No. 1 Jiaozhou Road, Shibei District, Qingdao 266000, Shandong Province, China; 2Department of Hamatology, Qingdao Central Hospital, No. 127, Siliu South Road, Shibei District, Qingdao 266000, Shandong Province, China Received January 3, 2019; Accepted April 23, 2019; Epub July 1, 2019; Published July 15, 2019 Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to be critical players in different types of tumors including gastric cancer (GC). However, the expression level of serum miR-647 in patients with GC and its potential prognostic significance were poorly known. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of serum miR-647 in GC. A total of 105 patients with GC and 50 healthy volunteers were recruited into this study. Quantitative reverse- transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze the expression of serum miR-647. Diagnos- tic accuracy of serum miR-647 in distinguishing GC patients from healthy controls was assessed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Chi-square was used to evaluate the association between serum miR- 647 level and clinicopathologic parameters. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses were further used to identify prognostic factors. Our results showed that a significantly downregulated expression of serum miR-647 was found in patients with GC.
