青蒿素英语介绍作文英文回答:Artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone endoperoxide, is a natural product isolated from the plant Artemisia annua L. It is a potent antimalarial drug that has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Artemisinin is effective against all species of Plasmodium, the parasite that causes malaria. It is particularly effective against Plasmodium falciparum, the most deadly species of malaria parasite.Artemisinin has a unique mechanism of action that targets the parasite's heme metabolism. This leads to oxidative stress and death of the parasite. Artemisinin is also highly effective against drug-resistant Plasmodium strains.Artemisinin is a safe and well-tolerated drug. The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.However, these side effects are usually mild and transient.Artemisinin is used in combination with other antimalarial drugs to treat malaria. This helps to prevent the development of drug resistance. The most common artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem), artesunate-amodiaquine (ASAQ), and artesunate-mefloquine (ASMQ).ACTs are the first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria in most malaria-endemic countries. They are also used to treat severe malaria.Artemisinin is a life-saving drug that hassignificantly reduced the burden of malaria around the world. It is a safe and effective treatment that is well-tolerated by patients.中文回答:青蒿素是一种从青蒿植物中分离出的倍半萜内过氧化物内酯。

抗衰老系列二科学家公布外泌体抗衰老实验结果2013年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖颁给了美国科学家罗思曼、谢克曼以及德国科学家祖德霍夫,以表彰他们发现细胞的囊泡运输调控机制。
美国抗衰老医学研究会主席Klatz博士称:“外泌体是干细胞技术的下一个发展方向”。
那么,人们面临衰老时,干细胞外泌体正在发挥着怎么样的作用?科学家们又是如何利用干细胞外泌体来对抗衰老?本期向大家介绍一项重要的外泌体抗衰老实验。
抗衰老系列二 | 科学家公布外泌体抗衰老实验结果干细胞在再生医学中具有巨大的治疗潜力,如通过分泌抗炎、抗纤维化和促血管生成活性的因子,如可溶性分子(生长因子、细胞因子)或细胞外囊泡(微粒子、外泌体)等来改善创面愈合过程。
随着研究的深入,干细胞外泌体成为备受青睐的“超级明星”。
干细胞外泌体,干细胞在生理活动过程中分泌出来的生理活性物质,是一种微小囊泡,直径大约在30-150nm。
主要功效成分包括蛋白质类物质及micRNA类核酸物质。
外泌体一旦通过胞吐作用从干细胞中释放,复杂的混合因子能作为信号分子传递给其他细胞。
干细胞外泌体因在上皮组织的增殖、迁移、再生、炎症和瘢痕控制等方面的作用,成为「无细胞的细胞治疗」工具。
细胞老化是什么除去部分的组织干细胞,构成我们身体的大部分细胞的分裂次数是有限的,正常的体细胞达到细胞寿命并不可逆地停止增殖的状态称为细胞老化。
另外,就算添加活性正常的细胞至有致癌危险的应激反应(染色体缩短、癌基因的活化、氧化应激等)中,还是会被细胞老化诱导而不可逆地停止增殖。
因此,我们认为细胞老化与细胞凋亡相同,有防止异常细胞增殖、抑制癌症的作用。
然而,细胞老化不同于细胞死亡,老化细胞会在生物体内长期生存,因此随着年龄的增长,体内的老化细胞会越来越多。
另一方面,老化细胞中的染色质结构会根据持续的DNA损伤应答而改变,如炎症性细胞因子、趋化因子、基质分解酶和增殖因子等各种炎症蛋白基因活化表达。
已知老化细胞会分泌炎症蛋白到细胞外,这样的细胞老化的表现型被称为SASP(Senescence-associated secretory phenotype)。

They are believed to play a protective role in freez-ing and drought-tolerance in plants. A full-length cDNA encod-ing DHN (designated as ClDhn ) was isolated from an oriental medicinal plant Codonopsis lanceolata , which has been used widely in Asia for its anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. The full-length cDNA of ClDhn was 813 bp and contained a 477 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a polypeptide of 159 amino acids. Deduced ClDhn protein had high similarities with other plant DHNs. RT-PCR analysis showed that different abiotic stresses such as salt, wounding, chilling and light, trig-gered a significant induction of ClDhn at different time points within 4-48 hrs post-treatment. This study revealed that ClDhn assisted C. lanceolata in becoming resistant to dehydration. [BMB reports 2008; 41(4): 338-343]INTRODUCTIONPlants have developed defensive strategies against various stresses that arise from frequent environmental fluctuations to which they are exposed. Drought and low temperatures are the most severe factors limiting plant growth and yield. More than 100 genes have been shown to be responsive to such conditions and they are believed to function either during the physiological protection of cells from water-deficiencies or temperature-changes or in the regulation of gene expression (1-3).DHNs are proteins that are known to accumulate in vegetative plant tissues under stress conditions, such as low temperature, drought, or salt-stress (2, 4-6). These proteins have been catego-rized as late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins (7, 8).DHNs have been subdivided into five classes according to thepresence of highly conservative segments: YnSK 2, Kn, KnS, SKn and Y 2Kn. The K-segment (EKKIGIMDKIKEKLPG) is a conserved 15-mer lysine-rich sequence characteristic of DHNs, which may be present in one or several copies (5). The K-segment can form an amphiphathic α-helix structure that may interact with lipid components of bio-membranes and partially denatured proteins like chaperones (6, 9). The S-segment consists of contiguous ser-ine residues in the centre of the protein, which may be phosphorylated. They are involved in nuclear transport through their binding to nuclear localization signal peptides (6). The Y-segment with the consensus sequence DEYGNP, shares some similarities to the nucleotide-binding site of chaperones in plants and bacteria (5, 10). Another conserved domain contained in many DHNs is ϕ-segment (repeated Gly and polar amino acids), which interacts with and stabilizes membranes and macro-molecules, preventing structural damage and maintaining the activity of essential enzymes (11).DHNs have been found in the cytoplasm (12), nucleus (12, 13), mitochondria (14), vacuole (15), and chloroplasts (16). They are known to associate with membranes (17, 18), pro-teins (19) and excess salt ions (15, 20). Several DHN genes have been isolated and characterized from different species, including cor47, erd10 and erd14 from Arabidopsis thaliana ; Hsp90, BN59, BN115 and Bnerd10 from Brassica napus ; cor39 and wcs19 from Triticum aestivum (bread wheat); and cor25 from Brassica rapa subsp. Pekinensis (21). Many studies have reported a positive correlation between the accumulation of DHN transcripts or proteins and tolerance to freezing, drought, and salinity (12, 17, 22-24). Moreover, mod-ulation of transcripts by light has been reported for many DHN-encoding genes in drought- or cold-stressed plants (25-28). Although the biochemical functions and physiological roles of DHNs are still unclear, their sequence character-izations and expression patterns suggest that they may play a positive role in plant-response and adaptation to abiotic stress that leads to cellular dehydration. Indeed, many studies have indicated that transgenic plants with DHNs have a better stress-tolerance, recovery or re-growth after drought and freez-ing stress than that of the control (8, 29, 30).Thus far, there are no reports on isolation of the DHN gene from the oriental medicinal plant Codonopsis lanceolata . ThisCodonopsis lanceolata dehydrin geneRama Krishna Pulla, et al.339BMBreportsFig. 1. Nucleotide sequence and de-duced amino acid sequence of a ClDhn cDNA isolated from C. lanceolata . Num-bers on the left represent nucleotide positions. The deduced amino acid se-quence is shown in a single-letter code below the nucleotide sequence. The as-terisk denotes the translation stop signal.Amino acids in two double boxes repre-sent the Y-segment and amino acids in a single box the S-segment, respectively.The two underlined sequences represent the K-segments.plant belongs to the family of Campanulaceae (bellflower fam-ily), which contains many famous oriental medicinal plants such as Platycodon grandiflorum (Chinese bellflower or balloon flow-er), Codonopsis pilosula and Adenophora triphylla (nan sha shen). The roots of these plants have been used as herbal drugs to treat bronchitis, cough, spasm, macrophage-mediated immune responses and inflammation, and has also been administered as a tonic (31). C. lanceolata grows in North-eastern china, Korea, and far eastern Siberia. Despite their medicinal importance, little genomic study of this plant has been carried out. In this study, we characterized an Y 2SK 2 type DHN gene from C. lanceolata and analyzed its expression in response to various abiotic stresses.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONIsolation and characterization of the full length cDNA of the ClDhn geneAs part of a genomic project to identify genes in the medicinal plant C. lanceolata , a cDNA library consisting of about 1,000 cDNAs was previously constructed. A cDNA encoding a dehy-drin (DHN), designated ClDhn was isolated and sequenced. The sequence data of ClDhn has been deposited in GenBank under accession number AB126059. As shown in Fig. 1, ClDhn is 813 bp in length and it has an open reading frame (ORF) of 477 bp nucleotide with an 87-nucleotide upstream sequence and a 248-nucleotide downstream sequence. The ORF of ClDhn starts at nucleotide position 88 and ends at position 565. ClDhn encodes a precursor protein of 159 amino acids resi-dues with no predicted signal peptide at the N-terminal. The calculated molecular mass of the protein is approximately 16.7kDa with a predicated isoelectric point of 6.87. In the deduced amino acid sequence of ClDhn protein, the total number of neg-atively charged residues (Asp +Glu) amounted to 21 while the total number of positively charged residues (Arg +Lys) was 20. In addition, transmembrane helix prediction (TMHMMv2.0) did not identify any transmembrane helices in the deduced protein, implying that the protein did not function in the membrane but might function within the cytosolic or nuclear compartment.Homology analysisA GenBank Blastp search revealed that ClDhn had the highest sequence homology to the carrot (Daucus carota ) DHN (BAD86644) with 51% identity and 61% similarity. ClDhn also shared homology with ginseng (Panax ginseng ) DHN5 (ABF48478, 50% identity and 60% similarity), wild potato (Solanum commersonii ) DHN (CAA75798, 50% identity and 58% similarity), robusta coffee (Coffea canephora ) DHN1α (ABC55670, 47% identity and 55% similarity), grape (Vitis vin-ifera ) DHN (ABN79618, 47% identity and 57% similarity), American beech (Fagus sylvatica ) DHN (CAE54590, 46% iden-tity and 56% similarity), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum ) DHN (BAD13498, 45% identity and 56% similarity), sunflower (Helianthus annuus ) DHN (CAC80719, 45% identity and 52% similarity), and soybean (Glycine max ) DHN (AAB71225, 44% identity and 52% similarity). The DHNs showing the highest similarities were Y 2SK 2 type DHNs except grape (Vitis vinifera ) DHN (YSK 2 type) (32). Thus ClDhn might belong to Y 2SK 2 type DHNs based on the two Y-segments, one S-segment, and two K-segments present in its amino acid sequence. Phylogenetic analysis of ten of the plant DHNs were carried out using theCodonopsis lanceolata dehydrin gene Rama Krishna Pulla, et al.340BMB reportsFig. 2. A phylogenetic tree based on DHN amino acid sequence, showing the phylogenetic relationship between ClDhn and other plant DHNs . The tree was constructed using the Clustal X method (Neighbor-joining method) and a bar represents 0.1 substitutions peramino acid position.Fig. 3.

Almost similar levels of ClDhn -mRNA expression were observed in leaves and roots, whereas ClDhn was expressed in slightly higher lev-els in the stems. (Data was not shown).Expression of ClDhn in response to various stressesExpression patterns of ClDhn under various conditions were ex-amined using RT-PCR analysis. Fig. 4A showed the accumu-lation of ClDhn -mRNA in response to 100 mM ABA in MS agar. ABA is a hormone secreted when environmental conditions be-come dry. Expression of ClDhn was induced and reached a maximum level after 12 hrs, and then gradually decreased. When plants are submitted to dehydration the endogenous con-tent of ABA increases, with ABA mediating the closure of the stomata. Several studies have identified ABA as a key hormone in the induction pathway of many inducible genes including DHN , in response to drought (33-36). 100 μM of ABA in sprayCodonopsis lanceolata dehydrin geneRama Krishna Pulla, et al.341BMBreportsFig. 4.

Actin was used as an internal control.induced DHN-levels in Brassica napus and increased its ex-pression up to 48 hrs after treatment with ABA (37). 100 μM of ABA in MS agar induced DHN -levels in rice and cause a max-imum expression level at 1 hr post-treatment (10).Fig. 4B shows the accumulation of ClDhn mRNA in re-sponse to salt stress (100 mM NaCl). ClDhn expression was in-duced at 4 hrs post-treatment and gradually increased until 48 hrs. In Brassica napus , 250 mM NaCl added in the nutrient medium induced DHN-expression and reached a maximum at 48 hrs post-treatment (37). The application of NaCl to soil brought on a progressive decrease of the pre-dawn leaf water potential, a decrease of stomatal-conductance and a growth- reduction. Osmotic potential increase during salt treatmentcould result from Na + or Cl −absorption and from the synthesis of compatible compounds (38).Under wounding stress, ClDhn gene transcription was in-duced at 4 hrs post-treatment and gradually increased until 48 hrs (Fig. 4C). Richard et al . (39) discussed that the cumulative effect of wounding on transcript accumulation could also be associated with greater water-loss through more open surfaces arising from the wounding treatment.Under cold treatment, increase of ClDhn transcripts was ob-served at 4 hrs post-treatment and gradually increased until 48 hrs (Fig. 4D). Induction of DHN by low temperatures has been observed in numerous plants (17, 38). Overexpression of citrus DHN improved the cold tolerance in tobacco (18). Overexpre-ssion of multiple DHN genes in Arabidopsis resulted in accu-mulation of the corresponding DHNs to levels similar or higher than in cold-acclimated wild-type plants (24). Another example showed that overexpression of the acidic DHN WCOR410 could improve freezing tolerance in transgenic strawberry leaves (29). Fig. 4E shows that ClDhn gene expression was induced bylight stress and increased continuously until 48 hrs post-treat-ment. Natali et al . (40) showed that the G-box (CACGTGGC), a motif found in the promoter region of many light regulated genes, was found in the DHN gene promoter of helianthus and that DHN was responsive to light stress (41).In conclusion, we isolated a new dehydrin gene (ClDhn ) from C. lanceolata and characterized its expression in response to various stresses. ClDhn was induced by various stresses related to wa-ter-deficiency (ABA, salt, wounding and cold) and was induced by light, similar to other DHN genes isolated from other plants.MATERIALS AND METHODSPlant materialsCodonopsis lanceolata were grown in vitro on MS medium supplemented with 3% sucrose and 0.8% agar under the 16 hrs light and 8 hrs dark period. Its growth was maintained by regular subculture every 4 weeks. Abiotic stress studies were carried out on plants that were subcultured for one month. To analyze gene expression in different organs, samples were col-lected from leaves, roots and stem of C. lanceolata plants.Sequence analysesThe full-length ClDhn gene was analyzed using the softwares BioEdit, Clustal X, Mega 3 and other databases listed below; NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih), SOPMA (http://npsa-pbil.ibcp /npsaautomat.pl?page=npsopma.html).Stress assaysTo investigate the response of the ClDhn gene to various stress-es, the third leaves with petioles from C. lanceolata were used. For treatment with ABA (100 mM) and NaCl (100 mM), leaf samples were incubated in media containing each compound at 25o C for 48 hrs. For mechanical wounding stress, excised leaves were wounded with a needle puncher (42). Chilling stress was applied by exposing the leaves to a temperature of 4o C (43). To investigate the ClDhn gene-expressions in light, leaves were incubated under an electrical lamp with a light in-tensity of 24 mol m-2 s-1 for 48 hrs. All treatments were carried out on MS media with or without the treatment solution (ABA, NaCl). All treated plant materials were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -70o C until further analysis.Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysisTotal RNA was extracted from various whole plant tissues (leaves, stem, roots) of C. lancolata using the Rneasy mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). For RT-PCR (reverse tran-scriptase-PCR), 800 ng of total RNA was used as a template for reverse transcription using oligo (dT) primer (0.2 mM)(INTRON Biotechnology, Inc., South Korea) for 5 mins at 75oC. The reaction mixture was then incubated with AMV Reverse Transcriptase (10 U/μl) (INTRON Biotechology, Inc., SouthKorea) for 60 mins at 42oC. The reaction was inactivated byheating the mixture at 94oC for 5 mins. PCR was then per-Codonopsis lanceolata dehydrin gene Rama Krishna Pulla, et al.342BMB reportsformed using a 1 μl aliquot of the first stand cDNA in a final volume of 25 μl containing 5 pmol of specific primers for cod-ing of ClDhn gene (forward, 5'-AAA GAG AGA GAA AAT GGC AGG TTA C-3'; reverse, 5'-GGA GTA GTT GTT GAA GTT CTC TGC T-3') were used. As a control, the primers spe-cific to the C. lanceolata actin gene were used (forward, 5'-CAA GAA GAG CTA CGA GCT ACC CGA TGG-3'; reverse, 5'-CTC GGT GCT AGG GCA GTG ATC TCT TTG CT-3'). PCR was carried out using 1 μl of taq DNA polymerase (Solgent Co., South Korea) in a thermal cycler programmed as follows:an initial denaturation for 5 mins at 95oC, 30 amplification cy-cles [30 s at 95o C (denaturation), 30 s at 53o C (annealing), and90 s at 72oC (polymerization)], followed by a final elongation for 10 mins at 72o C. Actin was used as an internal control to normalize each sample for variations in the amount of RNA used.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF) grant funded by the Korea government (MOST) (No. R01-2006-000-11178-0).REFERENCES1.Bray, E.

Its incidence rate increases year by year, and the incidence population tends to be younger. The rate of metastasis is low, but it is often associated withmalignant outcomes, and early detection and excision completey usually yield good results. The main challenge of clinical problems lies in locally advanced invasive tumors and recurrence tumors. The classic treatment is still a routine surgical resection and Mohs microsurgery, local physical and chemical treatment and other emerging methods such as antagonizing SMO receptor therapy also have applicationed, however, due to side effects and drug resistance, it is necessary to look for more suitable molecular targets. More and more research evidence indicates that miRNAs play a key regulatory role in the development of basal cell carcinoma. In this review, the differential expression and the role of miRNAs in BCC and its potential clinical application values are reviewed, so as to provide reference for the subsequent scientific research or prevention, early diagnosis and prognostic judgment of BCC.Key words: microRNA; basal cell carcinoma; expression difference; pathogenesis基底细胞癌(Basal cell carcinoma,BCC)最常见的诱因是紫外线照射,其次是砷接触和免疫抑制状态等,它们会引起肿瘤基因功能的改变及相关通路活性的改变,导致肿瘤的发生[1]。

malignancies.In the last years,the incidence of small renal tumors increased,most probably due to the widespread use of abdominal imaging (e.g.sonography)for unspecific symptoms.The benefit of early diagnosis of small renal tumors is limited by the high incidence of non-malignant tumors (e.g.oncocytoma,angiomyolipoma,cystic lesions,adenoma).The difficulty orimpossibility to distinguish benign and malignant tumors leads to the unnecessary resection of many of these tumors.As a consequence active surveillance protocols become more and more attractive for RCC patients.Despite many efforts,non-invasive biomarkers for RCC are yet not used in daily practice because they do not improve the diagnostic/prognostic information.MicroRNAs are gaining increasing interest as potential bio-marker for various malignancies because expression profiles allow distinguishing malignant and non-malignant tissue,but also distinguishing different tumor entities.MicroRNAs circulate in a cell-free form in blood [1,2],presumably in exosomes which protect against degradation by RNase [1].The microRNA signatures in blood are similar in men and women,and independent of patients’age [2].Several studies demonstrated that specific microRNAs are useful to distinguish cancer patients and healthy controls:e.g.,patients with prostate cancer have increased levels of miR-26a [3],miR-29and miR-92a were increased in colon cancer patients [4],Cancer Epidemiology 36(2012)391–394A R T I C L E I N F OArticle history:Received 3January 2012Received in revised form 13March

as non-invasive biomarker for cancer patients.Our study was designed to analyze circulating serum microRNAs in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).Materials and methods:Serum RNA was isolated from patients with clear cell RCC (ccRCC)and non-malignant disease;an artificial microRNA (cel-miR-39)was spiked-in prior the isolation procedure to control isolation efficiency.The levels of miR-26a-2*,miR-191,miR-337-3p and miR-378in serum were determined using quantitative real-time PCR;the microRNA levels were normalized to cel-miR-39.Results:First,miR-26a-2*,miR-191,miR-337-3p and miR-378were quantified in serum of each 25patients with ccRCC and non-malignant disease.The level of miR-378was significantly increased in ccRCC patients,and thus chosen for validation.The analysis of miR-378in the validation cohort with 117RCC patients and 123control subjects did not confirm a different level of miR-378.Also,miR-378was not correlated to pT-stage,lymph node/distant metastasis,vascular invasion and Fuhrman grade.Conclusions:The analysis of circulating serum levels of miR-26a-2*,miR-191,miR-337-3p and miR-378is unlikely to provide helpful diagnostic/prognostic information in RCC patients.ß2012Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.*Corresponding author.Tel.:+4922828715109;fax:+4922828711188.E-mail addresses:Stefan.Hauser@ukb.uni-bonn.de

(prostate cancer:miR-141[6];colon cancer:miR-29[4]).We recently analyzed the expression of >700microRNAs in serum and tissue of patients with RCC,and identified miR-1233as a potential diagnostic biomarker for RCC [7].A number of microRNAs were distinctly increased in RCC patients’serum,but not in tumor tissue.A recent report demonstrated that microRNAs deregulated in tissue are not necessarily deregulated in blood and vice versa [8].Thus,our aim was to study four serum microRNAs (miR-26a-2*,miR-191,miR-337-3p and miR-378)which were circulating at high levels in serum but expressed at normal levels in RCC tissue in the former study [7].2.Materials and methods2.1.PatientsWe prospectively collected serum from patients undergoing radical nephrectomy or nephron-sparing surgery for renal tumors;thus,the study cohort consisted of patients with RCC and benign renal tumors (i.e.oncocytoma and angiomyolipoma).The control group consisted of patients with non-malignant disease (men/women attending our hospital for surgery of non-malignant disease,or preventive medical examination).See Table 1for clinical–pathological parameters.Sample collection was per-formed between 2005and 2011at the Departments of Urologyat the Universita¨tsklinikum Bonn,the Universita ¨tsklinikum Mu¨nster and the Universita ¨tsklinikum des Saarlandes.All patients gave written informed consent prior blood withdrawal.The study was approved by the Ethikkommission an der MedizinischenFakulta¨t at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universita ¨t Bonn (approval number:166/10).Blood samples were withdrawn in serum S-Monovette Gel tubes with clotting activator (Sarstedt,Nu¨mbrecht,Germany)prior surgery;after clotting,serum was separated after centrifugation (10min,2800Âg )and stored in cryotubes at À808C.2.2.RNA isolation and quantitative real-time PCRThe isolation and quantification of serum microRNA was described earlier in detail [7].In brief,RNA was purified from 400m l serum using the mirVana PARIS Kit (Ambion,Foster City,CA,USA;final elution volume 50m l).In order to control for variation of RNA isolation,we added 25fmol of a synthetic Caenorhabditis elegans microRNA,cel-miR-39(Qiagen,Hilden,Germany;catalog number MSY0000010)to the serum before starting the isolation procedure.We created an RT-primer pools for the Marker-Discovery step:each 50m l of 5Âcel-miR-39(Applied Biosystems Assay ID:000200),miR-26a-2*(ID:002115),miR-191(ID:002678),miR-337-3p (ID:002157)and miR-378(ID:002243)was speed vacuumed at 458C for 3h with the Concentrator 5301(Eppendorf,Wesseling,Germany).The RT-primer pool was re-suspended in 50m l nuclease-free water,and reverse transcription was per-formed as specified in the protocol (Applied Biosystems,TaqMan Small RNA Assays).For Marker-Validation,we combined 20Âcel-miR-39and miR-378stem–loop primers (each 0.75m l primer)and cDNA synthesis was then performed according the manufacturer protocol.Quantitative real-time PCR was performed using the TaqMan Small RNA Assay on the ABIPrism 7900HT in triplicates in 10m l reaction volume;all experiments were performed as specified in the manufacturers’protocols.2.3.StatisticsThe analysis of the real-time PCR data was done using the SDS software v2.4(settings:automatic baseline,threshold 0.2);relative microRNA levels were calculated with the RQ Manager v1.2.1,and data was analyzed with DataAssist v2.0(all software packages:Applied Biosystems).MicroRNA levels in serum were normalized against miR-39.Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS statistics v19(SPSS,Chicago,IL,USA).Sensitivity,specificity and area under curve (AUC)for microRNA levels were determined using Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC)Table

parameters and microRNA levels were correlated using the Mann–Whitney-U or Kruskal–Wallis-test,as appropriate.3.Results3.1.Marker-DiscoveryWe first studied the level of miR-26a-2*,miR-191,miR-337-3p and miR-378in serum samples of each 25patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC)and non-malignant disease.The level of all studied microRNAs was increased in ccRCC compared to control subjects (see Fig.1A),but,only miR-378(p =0.006)was significantly increased in ccRCC patients (miR-26a-2*,p =0.086;miR-191,p =0.109;miR-337-3p,p =0.749).Mean (95%confidence interval)miR-378levels were 2.95(2.11–3.78)in controls and 5.00(3.41–6.58)in ccRCC patients.The area under curve was 0.728(0.585–0.871)as determined using ROC analyses;see Fig.1B.3.2.Marker-ValidationTo test the reproducibility of miR-378quantification,we first pooled RNA from each ten RCC and control samples;three samples from each pool were then reverse transcribed and measured in triplicate as described above;the coefficient of variation was 11.8%.Second,the RCC and control cDNA pool was splitted into three samples,and each sample was measured in triplicate.The estimated coefficient of variation was 9.7%.Thus,interassay and intraassay variation is acceptable.We next validated the expression level of miR-378in a cohort of 117RCC patients and 123controls.miR-378was circulating at a similar level in RCC patients and controls:mean (95%confidence interval)miR-378levels were 3.26(2.83–3.71)in controls and 3.35(2.90–3.80)in RCC patients.The level of miR-378(mean:2.86;95%confidence interval 1.51–4.22)was not different in patients with benign renal tumors.See Fig.1C.The analysis of patients with pure ccRCC histology did not lead to a better diagnostic discrimination of cancer patients and controls (data not shown).We also analyzed whether miR-378levels were correlated to clinical–pathological parameters.However,serum miR-378levels were not correlated with pT-stage (p =0.966),lymph node metastasis (p =0.174),distant metastasis (p =0.132),vascular invasion (p =0.442)or Fuhrman grade (G1/2vs.G3/4:p =0.129).We also did not notice any difference between papillary RCC and ccRCC patients (p =0.249).4.DiscussionPrevious studies clearly demonstrated the potential use of circulating microRNA in serum/plasma as biomarker for various malignancies including prostate cancer (miR-26a [3]),colon cancer (miR-29and miR-92a [4]),and breast cancer (miR-195[5]).We earlier identified miR-1233as diagnostic marker for RCC patients [7];in this study,miR-26a-2*(6.2-fold),miR-191(5.3-fold),miR-337-3p (4.7-fold)and miR-378(13.9-fold)were distinctly over-expressed in ccRCC patients’serum,but tissue levels of these microRNAs were similar.The discovery phase in our earlier study was small-scaled (n =6),and thus possibly biased.However,deregulation of these microRNAs was described in RCC tissue by others [9–12],and we thus decided to analyze serum levels of miR-26a-2*,miR-191,miR-337-3p and miR-378in a larger cohort of RCC patients.In the first step,we analyzed the serum levels of miR-26a-2*,miR-191,miR-337-3p and miR-378in each 25RCC patients and controls.All microRNAs were circulating at higher levels in RCC patients’serum,but only miR-378was significantly elevated in ccRCC patients.Next,we tried to confirm miR-378upregulation in a larger cohort (117RCC patients,109controls and 14patients with benign renal tumor),but miR-378levels did not allow distinguishing between RCC patients and control subjects.The cohorts of Marker-Discovery and -Validation were somewhat different,and this may be an explanation for the failure of miR-378as diagnostic marker.The discovery cohort included only patients with ccRCC,whereas the later cohort also included 10patients with papillary RCC,2patients with sarcomatoid RCC and 1patient with chromophobe RCC;it should be noted that microRNA levels in the different RCC subtypes were similar,but the small number of non-ccRCC tumors limits meaningful conclusions.Furthermore,the number of patients with advanced disease (pT3:44%vs.28%)was somewhat higher in the discovery cohort.Nevertheless,we did not observe a significant correlation of histo-pathological parameters (pT-stage,pN-stage,M-stage,grade)indicative for increased microRNA levels in aggressive/advanced RCC.miR-378was linked to cancer progression earlier:stable transfection of miR-378resulted in cell survival,tumorgrowthFig.1.(A)MicroRNA expression in serum of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC;n =25)and healthy controls (normal;n =25)in the Marker-Discovery cohort.The level of miR-378(p =0.006)was significantly increased in ccRCC patients.(B)Receiver operator characteristic analysis in the Marker-Discovery cohort for miR-378(area under curve:0.728,95%confidence interval:0.585–0.871).(C)The level of miR-378was similar in renal cell carcinoma patients (RCC,n =117),control subjects (normal,n =123)and patients with benign renal tumors (BRT,n =14)in the validation cohort.S.Hauser et al./Cancer Epidemiology 36(2012)391–394393and angiogenesis[13].miR-378is a target of the c-Myc oncoprotein[14].Dysregulation of miR-378was described in myelodysplastic syndrome[15],but also in RCC[9],and prompted us to investigate its level in RCC patient serum.However,we did not observe increased levels in RCC patients in the validation cohort.miR-378has not been studied in non-malignant diseases so far,and it remains speculative whether non-oncological diseases could also lead to its increase in serum.In conclusion,the analysis of serum miR-26a-2*,miR-191,miR-337-3p and miR-378levels does not provide diagnostic informa-tion in patients with RCC.Conflict of interestThe authors disclose any conflict of interest.
