Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was to evaluate the application of automatic measurement based on convolutional neural network (CNN) technology in intracavitary ultrasound cine of anterior pelvic. METHODS A total of 500 patients who underwent pelvic floor ultrasound examination at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from July 2021 to February 2022 were retrospectively retrieved by the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) system, and 300 cases were used as a training set. The training set was labeled by three experienced ultrasound physicians to train CNN models and develop an automatic measurement software. The remaining 200 cases were used as a test set. Automatic measurement software identified relevant anatomical structures frame by frame and determined the two frames with the greatest difference, calculated the bladder neck descent (BND), urethral rotation angle (URA), and retrovesical angle (RA). Meanwhile, two experienced ultrasound physicians evaluated the resting frame and the maximum Valsalva frame on the cines by manual visual evaluation, labeled the anatomical structures in the corresponding frame, such as the inferoposterior margin of pubic symphysis, the mid-axis of pubic symphysis, bladder contour, and urethra in the front, and calculated BND, URA, and RA. Considering that the residual urine volume (RUV) in the bladder may affect the results, enrolled patients were grouped according to the RUV (10-50 mL, 50-100 mL, and >100 mL). The consistency of the results by automatic measurement and manual visual evaluation was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the Bland-Altman graph. RESULTS Of the 200 cases in the test set, 120 cases were successfully identified by the CNN automatic software with a 60% recognition rate. In the case of successful identification, the ICC of manual visual evaluation measurement and automatic measurement was 0.936 (BND), 0.911 (URA), 0.756 (RA in rest), and 0.877 (RA at maximum Valsalva), respectively. In addition, the RUV had a negligible effect on the consistency. The Bland-Altman plot shows the proportion of samples outside the limit was below 5%. CONCLUSIONS CNN-based automatic measurement software exhibited high reliability in anterior pelvic measurement, which results in a significantly enhanced measurement efficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a common autoimmune disease characterized by loss of immune tolerance to platelet autoantigens leading to excessive destruction and insufficient production of platelets. METHOD Quantitative liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was performed to detect the differentially expressed proteins in bone marrow samples from active ITP patients and normal controls. RESULT Our bioinformatic analysis identified two upregulated proteins (ORM1 and vWF) and two downregulated proteins (PPBP and SPARC) related to immune function. The four proteins were all found to be related to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -α signalling pathway and involved in the pathogenesis of ITP in KEGG pathway analysis. CONCLUSION Bioinformatics analysis identified differentially expressed proteins in bone marrow that are involved in the TNF-α signalling pathway and are related to the activation of immune function in ITP patients. These findings could provide new ideas for research on the loss of immune tolerance in ITP patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune thrombocytopenic (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disease with genetic susceptibility. Twenty newly diagnosed active primary ITP patients who had not been treated with glucocorticosteroids, immune globulin or immunosuppressants prior to sampling were enrolled in this study. Bone marrow blood mononuclear cells were used for whole exome sequencing to further elucidation the variant genes of ITP. METHODS High-molecular-weight genomic DNA was extracted from freshly frozen bone marrow blood mononuclear cells from 20 active ITP patients. Next, the samples were subjected to molecular genetic analysis by whole-exome sequencing, and the results were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The signaling pathways and cellular processes associated with the mutated genes were identified with gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses. RESULTS The results showed that there were 3998 missense mutations involving 2269 genes in more than 10 individuals. Unique genetic variants including phosphatase and tensin homolog, insulin receptor, and coagulation factor C homology were the most associated with the pathogenesis of ITP. Functional analysis revealed these mutation genes mainly affect Phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/serine/threonine kinase B signaling pathways (signal transduction) and platelet activation (immune system). CONCLUSION Our finding further demonstrates the functional connections between these variant genes and ITP. Although the substantial mechanism and the impact of genetic variation are required further investigation, the application of next generation sequencing in ITP in this paper is a valuable method to reveal the genetic susceptibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a prevalent autoimmune disease with a complex aetiology where DNA methylation changes are becoming triggers. METHOD To investigate novel abnormally methylated genes in the pathogenesis of ITP, we performed a high-throughput methylation analysis on 21 ITP patients and 9 normal control samples. We analysed the extent of key methylated genes and their downstream cytokines through Luminex assay or qRT-PCR. Then, bone marrow mononuclear cells were extracted from ITP patients, and decitabine (demethylation drug) was added to the culture medium of cultured cells. qRT-PCR and ELISA were used to detect whether decitabine could effectively affect target genes and related cytokines. RESULTS Through the STRING and Metascape databases, hypermethylated NOTCH1 can be identified and can influence ITP by regulating many downstream cytokines through Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation pathways. Compared with those in the normal control group, the expression levels of NOTCH1 and its downstream Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-10, and GATA3) were significantly decreased and those of Th1 cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-12, and TNF-α) were significantly increased in the ITP group. Decitabine exerts its demethylation effect, so the expression of NOTCH1 and its related cytokines in the ITP group treated with 100 nM decitabine were significantly reversed. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the pathogenesis of ITP may exert its influence on epigenetics through alteration of DNA methylation at regulatory regions of the target NOTCH1 gene in the Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation pathways. At the same time, decitabine may achieve a therapeutic effect on ITP by demethylation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune haemorrhagic disease whose pathogenesis is associated with bone marrow megakaryocyte maturation disorder and destruction of the haematopoietic stem cell microenvironment. METHODS In this study, we report the qualitative and quantitative profiles of the ITP proteome. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was conducted to elucidate the protein profiles of clinical bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMC) samples from ITP patients and healthy donors (controls). Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopaedia Genes and Genome (KEGG) pathway analyses were performed to annotate the differentially expressed proteins. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed with the BLAST online database. Target proteins associated with autophagy were quantitatively identified by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) analysis. RESULTS Our approaches showed that the differentially expressed autophagy-related proteins, namely, HSPA8, PARK7, YWHAH, ITGB3 and CSF1R, were changed the most. The protein expression of CSF1R in ITP patients was higher than that in controls, while other autophagy-related proteins were expressed at lower levels in ITP patients than in controls. CONCLUSION Bioinformatics analysis indicated that disruption of the autophagy pathway is a potential pathological mechanism of ITP. These results can provide a new direction for exploring the molecular mechanism of ITP.

Abstract
PURPOSE Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune disease of unknown aetiology. In this study, we aimed to identify the mutations and aberrant expression of mucins associated with ITP pathogenesis. METHODS First, we investigated the DNA mutation profile of bone marrow samples from patients with ITP (n = 20) by using next-generation sequencing (NGS). In addition, MUC3A, MUC5B and MUC6 were mutated in all patients with ITP. ELISA (enzyme-linked immunoassay) was used to measure MUC3A, MUC5B and MUC6 levels in the plasma of bone marrow fluid mononuclear cells (BMMCs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Real-time quantitative PCR was used to study the mRNA expression levels of MUC3A, MUC5B and MUC6 in BMMCs and PBMCs. RESULTS The results indicated that there were 3998 missense mutations involving 2269 genes in more than 10 individuals. MUC3A levels were not significantly different among the three groups, whereas MUC5B and MUC6 expression were significantly down-regulated in patients with ITP compared with healthy controls. In addition, serum MUC5B and MUC6 levels were significantly higher in patients with ITP in clinical remission than in patients with active ITP. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, these results suggest that genetic alterations and the aberrant serum expression of mucins might be involved in the pathogenesis of ITP.

Abstract
Autophagy is a highly conserved protein degradation pathway that is essential for affecting some autoimmune diseases. Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a common autoimmune disorder, and the complex dysregulation of cellular immunity has been observed; however, the relationship between autophagy-related proteins and immune responses in ITP remains unclear. Using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the mRNA expression levels of Beclin-1, SQSTM1/p62 and LC3 were measured in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 20 newly diagnosed patients with active ITP, 16 ITP patients in remission and 21 healthy volunteers. The stained Beclin-1 and SQSTM1/p62 proteins were also observed in the bone marrow of active ITP patients and normal controls by immunofluorescence. SQSTM1/p62 mRNA expression in PBMCs in newly diagnosed patients was significantly decreased. At the same time, Beclin-1 mRNA was increased significantly. During the remission stages, the levels of these autophagy-related proteins were comparable with those observed in healthy controls. Taken together, these results suggest that the aberrant expression of autophagy-related proteins might be involved in the pathogenesis of ITP. Further study of the autophagy pathway may provide a new strategy and direction for the treatment of ITP.

Abstract
To explore the threshold effect of body mass index (BMI) on bone mineral density (BMD) in Chinese women living in the fluorosis area, we conducted a cross-sectional study and recruited 722 women in rural areas in Henan Province, China. After detection and analyses, we found that compared with the normal BMI group, the risk of osteoporosis in the overweight and obese groups were reduced by 32% and 69%, respectively. Threshold effect analysis showed that BMD was positively correlated with BMI when BMI was 16.8-31.2 kg/m2; while when BMI was greater than 31.2 kg/m2, the correlation reached saturation. The correlation observed between low-to-moderate fluoride exposure and BMD in rural women was not significant.

Abstract
To investigate differences in the expression of plasma proteins in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and normal control groups, bone marrow samples were collected from 20 active ITP patients and 20 healthy controls. Quantitative proteomics analysis based on mass spectrometry was used to measure the protein levels and understand the protein networks. We found differentially expressed proteins in ITP patients and healthy controls. Parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), a targeted proteome quantification technique, was used to quantitatively confirm the identified target proteins and verify the proteomics data. In this study, a total of 829 proteins were identified, and the fold-change cut-off was set at 1.5 (patients vs controls); a total of 26 proteins were upregulated, and 69 proteins were downregulated. The bioinformatics analysis indicated that some differentially expressed proteins were associated with apoptosis. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the apoptosis-related proteins were closely related to the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway. PRM demonstrated that apoptosis-related proteins were significantly decreased in ITP patients, which further confirmed the important effect of apoptosis on ITP pathogenesis. We hypothesised that apoptosis may be closely related to ITP pathogenesis through the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway.

Abstract
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease characterized by both increased platelet destruction and/or reduced platelet production. Even though they are detected in ≤ 50% of ITP patients, auto-antibodies play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of ITP. Recent experimental and clinical observations have revealed abnormal autophagy in ITP patients. Autophagy is a catabolic process responsible for the elimination and recycling of cytoplasmic constituents, such as organelles and macromolecules, in eukaryotic cells. Additionally, it triggers cell death or promotes cell survival following various forms of stress, and maintains the microenvironment and stemness of haematopoietic stem cells. The role of autophagy in megakaryopoiesis, thrombopoiesis, and platelet function is slowly being uncovered. The abnormal autophagy in ITP patients may be caused by deletion of autophagy-related genes such as ATG7 and abnormal signalling due to overexpression of mTOR. These changes are thought to affect markers of haematopoietic stem cells, such as CD41 and CD61, and differentiation of megakaryocytes, ultimately decreasing the function and quantity of platelets and leading to the onset of ITP. This review highlights recent evidence on the essential role played by autophagy in megakaryopoiesis, megakaryocyte differentiation, thrombopoiesis, and platelet production. It also discusses the potential of targeting the autophagy pathway as a novel therapeutic approach against ITP.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the effect of NCCN (2015) risk stratification on prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) . Methods: Retrospective analysis of 258 patients with AML in CR (186 cases in CR(1), 72 cases in CR(2)) who underwent allogeneic HSCT in our hospital between April 2012 and March 2015 according to NCCN (2015) risk stratification. Of them, 63 cases were classified as low risk, 112 cases intermediate risk and 83 cases high risk. Results: ①With the median follow up of 18 (5-41) months, two-year disease free surviva (DFS) in 258 patients was 78.0% (95% CI 60.4%-96.6%) . Two-year DFS in AML after transplantation was 78.6% (95% CI 61.0%-96.2%) in low risk, 76.0% (95% CI 84.0%-93.6%) in intermediate risk and 80.3% (95% CI 62.7%-97.9%) (P=0.886) in high risk groups respectively. ②Univariate analysis showed that DFS has no significant difference in patient age, the median disease course before HSCT, the WBC number at the beginning of the disease, blood routine and chromosomes examination before transplantation, extramedullary disease before transplantation, disease status before transplantation, conditioning regimen, donor type, donor and recipient sex, recipient blood type, transfused MNC number, transfused CD34(+) cell number and transfused CD3(+) cell number. DFS was significant lower in primary AML than that in secondary AML (P=0.006) and also lower in MRD positive than that in MRD negative (P=0.003) . The accumulative relapse was significant higher in CR(2) compared to that in CR(1) (P=0.046) . Accumulative non-relapse mortality (NRM) was significanlyt higher in secondary AML compared to that in primary AML (P=0.004) and also higher in MRD positive compared to that in MRD negative (P=0.010) . ③Multivariate analysis showed that MRD positive was the only significant factor in DFS and NRM. Conclusion: Allo-HSCT treatment of AML CR patients could achieve a high efficacy, which is similar between CR(1) and CR(2) patients. There is no significant correlation between NCCN (2015) risk stratification and the prognosis of AML patients with allo-HSCT treatment. Pre-conditioning MRD status monitored by multiparameter flow cytometry was the only impact factor on DFS and NRM in allo-HSCT for CR-AML patients.

Abstract
Aim of the investigation was to develop folate-functionalized lipid nanoemulsion (LNE) comprising chemo-radiotherapeutics for targeted delivery to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Soy lecithin nanoemulsion of doxorubicin (Dox) and yittrium-90 (90Y) was prepared by nanoprecipitation using ultrasonic homogenization technique followed by folic acid conjugation. Nanoemulsion (Dox-LNE) was characterized as positively charged (zeta potential), spherical shape (transmission electron microscopy) nano-droplets of uniform size distribution (polydispersity index). No significant variation in parameters such as particle size, zeta potential, and polydispersity index was observed when the stability of Dox-LNE was assessed during long-term storage at room temperature and at 8000 rpm, 121°C temperature, and 5000 time dilution in water. In vitro release of Dox from Dox-LNE was observed to be controlled for at least 48 h. Folate decoration over Dox-LNE surface (FD-Dox-LNE) and incorporation of 90Y in FD-Dox-LNE (FD-Dox + 90Y-LNE) changed droplet size up to 50 nm; however, surface charge of Dox-LNE did not change significantly. FD-Dox + 90Y-LNE inhibited growth of cancerous cell line like CNE1 (folate receptor rich) in vitro and alleviated tumor volume in NPC-induced nude mice significantly as compared to Dox + 90Y-LNE. Massive necrosis and hemorrhage of CNE1 cells were observed by FD-Dox + 90Y-LNE (89.9%); however, inhibition of growth of nasal epithelial cells (RPMI 2650; folate deficient) by FD-Dox + 90Y-LNE and Dox + 90Y-LNE was observed to be 21.5 and 43.65%, respectively.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease has become the leading cause of death and constitutes a serious public health issue in China. Faced with the burgeoning epidemic of cardiovascular disease and the huge burden and economic losses it causes, the Chinese government has attached the utmost importance to cardiovascular research, increasing funding to support basic and clinical studies, integrating resources and recruiting outstanding talent from overseas. The continued and growing support from the government has yielded substantial changes in terms of new discoveries, scientific publications and drug research and development within the last decade. In spite of the advances in cardiovascular research, China still faces significant challenges ahead in encouraging innovation, developing the prevention-oriented health policies and strengthening international collaboration.

Abstract
Continuous quality improvement efforts have become a central focus of leading health care organizations. The transplant community has been a pioneer in periodic review of clinical outcomes to ensure the optimal use of limited donor organs. Through data collected from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) and analyzed by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR), transplantation professionals have intermittent access to specific, accurate and clinically relevant data that provides information to improve transplantation. Statistical process control techniques, including cumulative sum charts (CUSUM), are designed to provide continuous, real-time assessment of clinical outcomes. Through the use of currently collected data, CUSUMs can be constructed that provide risk-adjusted program-specific data to inform quality improvement programs. When retrospectively compared to currently available data reporting, the CUSUM method was found to detect clinically significant changes in center performance more rapidly, which has the potential to inform center leadership and enhance quality improvement efforts.

Abstract
We studied the effect of mechanical forces (shear stress) on the kinetics of internalization of native LDL and ox-LDL in endothelial cell line ECV304. This study was performed by using Confocal microscopy and FRET with two carbocyanine dyes, 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiO) as the donor and 3,3'-dioctadecyloxacarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI) as the receptor. The cells were incubated with a culture medium containing either 10 microg/ml DiI-LDL or DiO-LDL in static conditions or subjected to a laminar flow under a Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (SP2 Leica, Germany). The results showed: (1) the possibility to evaluate the kinetics of LDL endocytosis in living cells, (2) shear stress in comparison with control group more effectively enhanced LDL uptake, (3) ox-LDL (>50 microg/ml) >4 hours incubation was found to affect the cells as reflected by their detachment at low shear stress.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the influences of Ca2+ (medium free calcium, with BAPTA, with 100 mM Ca2+, 100 mM Ca2++10 microM ionomycin) on the expression of caveolin-1 (structural protein of caveolae) of endothelial cells (ECs) submitted to mechanical forces (shear stress) or biochemical stimulation (TNF-alpha). We found that shear stress enhanced the caveolin-1 expression. Simultaneously, the caveolin-1 expression is dependant on [Ca2+]i: [Ca2+]free medium+100 microM BAPTA<[Ca2+]free medium<[Ca2+]100 mM<[Ca2+]100 mM+10 microM ionomycin. In contrast, TNF-alpha induced a decrease of caveolin-1 in the cells, whatever the [Ca2+]i. These results suggest that there could be a synergistic effect between shear stress and Ca2+ on caveolin-1 expression but an inflammatory stimulation (TNF-alpha) induces a down regulation of caveolin-1 expression.

Abstract
A long-term field and lysimeter experiment under different amount of fertilizer-N application was conducted to explore the optimal N application rates for a high productive rice-wheat system and less N leaching loss in the Yangtse Delta region. In this region excessive applications of N fertilizer for the rice-wheat production has resulted in reduced N recovery rates and environment pollution. Initial results of the field experiments showed that the optimal N application rate increased with the yield. On the two major paddy soils (Hydromorphic paddy soil and Gleyed paddy soil) of the region, the optimal N application rate was 225-270 kg N hm(-2) for rice and 180-225 kg N hm(-2) for wheat, separately. This has resulted in the highest number of effective ears and Spikelets per unit area, and hence high yield. Nitrogen leaching in the form of NO(3-)-N occurs mainly in the wheat-growing season and in the ponding and seedling periods of the paddy field. Its concentration in the leachate increased with the N application rate in the lysimeter experiment. When the application rate reached 225 kg N hm(-2), the concentration rose to 5.4-21.3 mgN l(-1) in the leachate during the wheat-growing season. About 60% of the leachate samples determined contained NO(3-)-N beyond the criterion (NO(3-)-N 10 mg l(-1)) for N pollution. In the field experiment, when the N application rate was in the range of 270-315 kg hm(-2), the NO(3-)-N concentration in the leachate during the wheat-growing season ranged from 1.9 to 11.0 mg l(-1). About 20% of the leachate samples reached close to, and 10% exceeded, the criterion for N pollution. Long-term accumulation of NO(3-)-N from leaching will no doubt constitute a potential risk of N contamination of the groundwater in the Yangtse Delta Region.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 is a principal component of caveolae and is involved in signaling transduction in a number of cells. A hypothesis was proposed in this work that mechanical forces due to flow induce caveolin-1 translocation. So the changes of caveolin-1 expression and distribution in cultured endothelial cells (HUVECs) exposed to a steady laminar flow were studied. For comparing with the influence of cytokine, caveolin-1 in the cells stimulated by TNF-alpha was also investigated. Indirect immunofluorescence and double fluorescence labeling showed that in control cells, caveolin-1 was primarily localized on the cell surface, which corresponded to the peripheral distribution of F-actin, and presented some local concentrations. In the cells exposed to a laminar flow (1.0 Pa), caveolin-1 distribution showed a time-dependent variation. After 24 h of shear, the local concentration of caveolin-1 was found, in the most cells, at upstream side of cell body. Also more caveolin-1 molecules were observed in the cells. In contrast, TNF-alpha induced a decrease of caveolin-1 in cells. The redistribution of caveolin-1 seems to be correlated to F-actin organization.

Abstract
Considering that vascular endothelial caveolae could be flow sensors converting mechanical stimuli into chemical signals transmitted into the cell, this work studied, in vitro, the change of caveolin-1 expression and distribution of cultured endothelial cells exposed to laminar flows. Experimental results showed that, in control cells, caveolin-1 were primarily localized on the cell surface, and presented some local concentrations. In cells exposed to laminar flows, caveolin-1 distribution showed a time-dependent variation. After 24 h of shear (1.0 Pa), the expression of caveolin-1 increased and a local caveolin-1 concentration was found, in most cells, at the upstream side of the cell body where the hydrostatic pressure and the spatial gradient of shear stress were at a maximum. As a comparison, tumor necrosis factor-a induced a decrease of caveolin-1 in the cells.

Abstract
The effect of laminar flow on the regulation of von Willebrand Factor (vWF) of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was studied. Confluent endothelial monolayers were exposed to shear stresses (0.2 and 1.0 Pa) from 2 to 24 h. vWF was labelled with indirect immunofluorescence method and observed with 3D fluorescence microscopy. The distribution of vWF and the cytoskeleton organization were observed simultaneously by double fluorescence labelling. More actin stress fibers and an increased release of vWF appeared in the cells exposed to flow at the same time. The qualitative and quantitative results showed that there was not only a shear-dependent regulation but also a time-dependent modification. For a short-time shear stimulation, both 0.2 Pa and 1.0 Pa shear stresses induced a release of vWF from the endothelial cells. In contrast, after 24 h exposure to 1.0 Pa shear flow, vWFs were much more in the cells than that in the cells exposed to 0.2 Pa for 24 h (p < 0.01) or that in the control cells (p < 0.05). TNF-alpha caused a decrease of vWF and Weibel-Palade bodies in the cells.

Abstract
Signal transduction via modulation of phosphorylation after selective inhibition of protein phosphatase (PP) 1 and/or PP2A appears to play a role in okadaic acid (OA)-mediated effects. Treatment of several estrogen receptor-negative human breast carcinoma (HBC) cells with 100 nM OA resulted in induction of c-fos, c-myc, and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21WAF1/CIP1 genes. Transfections of various luciferase reporter constructs in HBC cells revealed involvement of activator protein-1-dependent as well as -independent pathways in induction of the c-fos gene by OA. MDA-MB-468 HBC cells were stably transfected with plasmids expressing luciferase, chimeric luciferase- c-fos 3' untranslated region (3'UTR), or chimeric luciferase-p21WAF1/CIP 3'UTR mRNAs. Expression of chimeric luciferase-c-fos and luciferase-p21WAF1/CIP1 mRNAs was elevated by OA in several independent sublines. Actinomycin D chase experiments revealed an enhanced rate of decay of luciferase-c-fos mRNA, whereas treatment with OA caused approximately 3.5-fold enhanced stability of the chimeric luciferase-c-fos mRNA only. By transfecting different plasmids containing deletions of c-fos 3'UTR, OA-responsive sequences were mapped to an 86-nucleotide, AU-rich region. UV cross-linking experiments using HBC cell cytosolic proteins showed multiple complexes with the AU-rich region subfragments of c-fos, as well as c-myc and p21WAF1/CIP1 mRNAs. OA enhanced binding of a novel Mr approximately 75,000 protein present in the cytosolic extracts of HBC cells to the AU-rich RNA probes of all of the above three genes. Taken together, OA regulation of HBC cell gene expression involves the activator protein-1 pathway, as well as enhanced binding of a novel Mr approximately 75,000 protein to an AU-rich region of the 3'UTRs of the target genes.

Abstract
The biologically active synthetic retinoid CD437 (6-[3-adamantyl-4-hydroxyphenyl]-2-naphthalene, AHPN) and different human breast carcinoma (HBC) cell lines were used to examine the possible mechanism(s) of gadd45 induction. Northern blot analysis of mRNA isolated from MCF-7, MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 HBC cell lines demonstrated a progressive increase in the 1.4 kb gadd45 transcript after exposure to 1 microM CD437. Western blot analysis showed increased gadd45 protein levels in MDA-MB-468 HBC cells following exposure to CD437. CD437 increased gadd45 mRNA levels by approximately 20-fold in MDA-MB-468 cells, however, the transcriptional activity was increased approximately 2-3-fold as demonstrated by the human gadd45 promoter-luciferase reporter construct and nuclear run-off assays. Sublines of MDA-MB-468 HBC cells expressing stably integrated GADD45 cDNA fragments were obtained and CD437-dependent induction of GADD45 analyzed. We report that approximately 300 nt located in the 5"-untranslated region (5"-UTR) of gadd45 mRNA are involved in the CD437-dependent 4-fold enhanced stability of gadd45 transcripts. MDA-MB-468 cells were stably transfected with either a plasmid having a CMV promoter-driven rabbit beta-globin gene or plasmids having a CMV promoter-driven chimeric gadd45 5"-UTR-rabbit beta-globin gene, where the entire gadd45 5"-UTR (from +1 to +298) or a 45 bp subfragment of the gadd45 5"-UTR (from +10 to +55) was positioned at the 5"-end of the rabbit beta-globin gene. CD437 was found to up-regulate expression of both the chimeric gadd45 -rabbit beta-globin transcripts, suggesting that cis element(s) involved in the CD437-dependent enhanced stability of gadd45 mRNA are contained in the 45 nt of the 5"-UTR of the gadd45 mRNA.

Abstract
Overexpression of bcl-2 or bcl-XL has been found to inhibit the induction of apoptosis in malignant cells by a large number of agents including a wide variety of chemotherapeutic drugs. CD437 ¿6-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4 hydroxyphenyl]-2-naphthalene carboxylic acid¿ is a novel retinoid that induces apoptosis in a number of malignant cells through a unique mechanism of action. The addition of 1 microM CD437 to HL-60/NEO cells resulted in capase 3 (CPP32) activation and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage in 3 h whereas in bcl-2- or bcl-XL-overexpressing HL-60 cells CD437 induced CPP32 activation and PARP cleavage in 6 h. Although 50 and 300 nM CD437 were required to induce PARP cleavage in HL-60/NEO and HL-60/bcl-2, HL-60/bcl-XL cells, respectively, maximal apoptosis in both cell lines was achieved utilizing 300 nM CD437. All three cell lines, however, share identical dose-response curves in terms of their growth inhibition, suggesting that CD437-mediated inhibition of growth and induction of apoptosis represent two distinct and separable processes. In addition, CD437 induces GI arrest as well as p21WAFI/CIPI mRNA expression in these cells despite the overexpression of bcl-2 or bcl-XL. CD437 induced mitochondrial instability as indicated by cytochrome c leakage into the cytoplasm in all three cell lines. CD437 also induced growth inhibition and apoptosis of an apoptosis-resistant variant of the HL-60 cell line (HCW-2), which switched expression from bcl-2 to bcl-XL. CD437-mediated apoptosis is not accompanied by downregulation of bcl-2 or bcl-XL or upregulation of bax. The reason for the inability of bcl-2 or bcl-XL overexpression to inhibit CD437-mediated apoptosis is unclear. The ability of CD437 to initiate apoptosis in a spectrum of malignant cells without interference from bcl-2 or bcl-XL overexpression suggests that CD437 may possess significant therapeutic potential in the treatment of malignancy.
