| 1 | A novel intronic circular RNA,circGNG7,inhibits head and neck squamous cell carcinoma progression by blocking the phosphorylation of heat shock protein 27 at Ser78 and Ser82显示文摘Background:There is increasing evidence that circular RNAs(circRNAs)play a significant role in pathological processes including tumorigenesis.In contrast to exonic circRNAs,which are the most frequently reported circRNAs in cancer so far,the studies of intronic circRNAs have been greatly lagged behind.Here,we aimed to investigate the regulatory role of intronic circRNAs in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC).Methods:We conducted whole-transcriptome sequencing with four pairs of primary tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues from HNSCC patients.Then,we characterized circGNG7 expression in HNSCC tissues and cell lines and explored its association with the prognosis of HNSCC patients.We also identified interactions between circGNG7 and functional proteins,which alter downstream signaling that regulate HNSCC progression.Results:In this study,we identified a new intronic circRNA,circGNG7,and validated its functional roles in HNSCC progression.CircGNG7 was predominately localized to the cytoplasm,and its expression was downregulated in both HNSCC tissues andCAL27,CAL33,SCC4,SCC9,HN6,and HN30 cells.Low expression of circGNG7 was significantly correlated with poor prognosis in HNSCC patients.Consistent with this finding,overexpression of circGNG7 strongly inhibited tumor cell proliferation,colony formation,in vitro migration,and in vivo tumor growth.Mechanistically,the expression of circGNG7 in HNSCC cells was regulated by the transcription factor SMAD family member 4(SMAD4).Importantly,we discovered that circGNG7 could bind to serine residues 78 and 82 of the functional heat shock protein 27(HSP27),occupying its phosphorylation sites and hindering its phosphorylation,which reduced HSP27-JNK/P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)oncogenic signaling.Downregulation of circGNG7 expression in HNSCC increased HSP27-JNK/P38 MAPK signaling and promoted tumor progression.Conclusions:Our results revealed that a new intronic circRNA,circGNG7,functions as a strong tumor suppressor and that circGNG7/HSP27-JNK/P38 MAPK signaling is a novel mechanism by which HNSCC progression can be controlled. | Houyu Ju Zhenrong Hu Dongliang Wei Jinyun Huang Xinyi Zhang Mengyu Rui Zhi Li Xiaomeng Zhang Jingzhou Hu Wei Guo Guoxin Ren | 2021 | Cancer Communications2021，41，11： | 4 |
| 2 | Research and development on foam breaking and recycling technology in air-foam drilling显示文摘In recent years,air-foam combining the advantages of both liquid and air drilling has been utilized as a drilling medium. Air-foam drilling has proved its efficiency in numerous situations where serious problems were encountered,such as in fractured formations and depleted or high permeable zones. However,the major disadvantage of air-foam drilling system is that the foam can only be used once,so that an extremely large pit is required to contain the foam to allow sufficient room for cuttings and for the foam to dissipate. Moreover,it needs enormous volume prepared,consuming abundance of water and ingredient additives,which results in the high cost of foam drilling. The recycling foam fluid by using foam breaking technology is the only effective method to solve these problems associated with the known foam drilling. Various types of equipment and technique have been employed to suppress foam formation in biological and process equipment in foam drilling. The study described various methods of foam breaking technology,and the trend of the foam breaking technology for foam drilling is discussed. | CAO Pinlu ZHANG Jincheng WU Xia HUANG Jinyun | 2009 | Global Geology2009，12，4： | 2 |
| 4 | Malignant transformation by oncogenic K-ras requires IDH2-mediated reductive carboxylation to promote glutamine utilization显示文摘Dear Editor,Oncogenic K-ras mutation plays a major role in malignant transformation and induces significant alterations in cancer cell metabolism[1–4].However,the major molecular players mediating metabolic alterations during K-ras-driven cancer development remain elusive.The observations that tumorigenesis often requires multiple hits suggest that K-ras mutation likely needs the coordination of other molecular events that enable adaptive cellular metabolism for a full malignant transformation.Based on our previous study on the impact of K-ras onmitochondrial metabolism[1,5]and our recent findings that mitochondrial isocitrate dehydrogenase 2(IDH2)could promote the“reverse”flow of the tricarboxylic acid(TCA)cycle fromα-KG to isocitrate and enhance the survival and proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia cells[6],we investigated the potential role of IDH2 in metabolic adaptation during K-ras-driven tumorigenesis. | Rui Liu Panpan Liu Huichang Bi Jianhua Ling Huiqin Zhang Mingquan Zhang Yumin Hu Paul J Chiao Peng Huang Jinyun Liu | 2023 | Cancer Communications2023，43，2： | 0 |
