[Clinicopathological characteristics of the CD8 T lymphocytes infiltration and its mechanism in distinct molecular subtype of medulloblastoma].

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of the CD8 T cells infiltration from the 4 subtypes in medulloblastoma (MB), to analyze the relationship between CD8 T cells infiltration and prognosis, to study the function of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 11 (CXCL11) and its receptor in CD8 T cells infiltration into tumors and to explore the potential mechanism, and to provide the necessary clinicopathological basis for exploring the immunotherapy of MB.

Methods: In the study, 48 clinical MB samples (12 cases in each of 4 subtypes) were selected from the multiple medical center from 2012 to 2019. The transcriptomics analysis for the tumor of 48 clinical samples was conducted on the NanoString PanCancer IO360 Panel (NanoString Technologies).

SIRT2 negatively regulates the cGAS-STING pathway by deacetylating G3BP1.

SIRT2, a cytoplasmic member of the Sirtuin family, has important roles in immunity and inflammation. However, its function in regulating the response to DNA virus infection remains elusive. Here, we find that SIRT2 is a unique regulator among the Sirtuin family that negatively modulates the cGAS-STING-signaling pathway.

Tumor-associated astrocytes promote tumor progression of Sonic Hedgehog medulloblastoma by secreting lipocalin-2.

Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) subgroup of medulloblastoma (MB) accounts for about 25% of all subgroups of MB. Tumor microenvironment (TME) may play a key role in the tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. Tumor-associated astrocytes (TAAs) are reshaped to drive tumor progression through multiple paracrine signals.

Carborane based chalcogen-fused phenazines for visible light induced ATRP.

A series of carborane derivatives (-CB-DPE, E = O, S, Se) were synthesized through a combining of the σ characteristic -carborane and chalcogen-fused phenazines. The UV-Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry results showed that -CB-DPEs have a visible light absorption ( > 390 nm), narrow energy gap (∼2.93 eV), and stable radical cation species.

The phosphorylation of PHF5A by TrkA-ERK1/2-ABL1 cascade regulates centrosome separation.

During interphase, the newly duplicated pairs of centrosomes are held together by a centrosome linker, and the centrosome separation needs the disruption of this linker to induce the duplicated centrosomes separating into two distinct microtubule organization centers. The mechanism of regulating centrosome separation is however poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that the phosphorylation of PHF5A at Y36 by the TrkA-ERK1/2-ABL1 cascade plays a critical role in regulating centrosome separation.

Exosomal microRNAs induce tumor-associated macrophages via PPARγ during tumor progression in SHH medulloblastoma.

Medulloblastoma (MB), the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor, is composed of at least four molecular subgroups with distinct clinical characteristics. The sonic hedgehog (SHH) subgroup exhibits the most abundant tumor-associated microglia/macrophages (TAMs) infiltration. SHH-MB patients treated by anti-SHH drugs showed high drug resistance.

Aggressive Medulloblastoma-Derived Exosomal miRNAs Promote In Vitro Invasion and Migration of Tumor Cells Via Ras/MAPK Pathway.

Medulloblastomas (MBs) are currently divided into 4 molecular subgroups: WNT, SHH, Group 3, and Group 4. Among them, Group 3 MB has the worst prognosis, and 40%-50% of Group 3 cases are already metastatic at the time of diagnosis. Emerging evidence indicates that exosomes drive tumor invasion, but very little is known about exosomes in MBs.

[Meta analysis and analytic hierarchy process-based intervention strategy research of acupuncture for primary depressive disorder].

Objective: To acquire the optimal intervention methods of acupuncture on primary depressive disorder (PDD) through high quality clinical evidences of acupuncture for PDD and analytic hierarchy process.

Methods: Databases of domestic and international medical literatures were retrieved with computer. And high-quality clinical evidences on treatment of PDD with acupuncture were collected.
