Expression and clinical significance of HSP27 and its phosphorylation in lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study set out to analyze the difference of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) and its phosphorylation in patients with lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (LEASO) at different stages. This research also examined their clinical significance in this disease.

Methods

Blood samples from 60 patients with LEASO were collected and divided into two groups according to ankle-brachial index (ABI): group A (ABI ? 0.43) and group B (ABI > 0.43). The expression of HSP27 in each stage of Fontaine was measured by ELISA, and the difference of HSP27 concentration and ABI between the two groups was analyzed. Meanwhile, three normal femoral artery specimens (normal group) and three atherosclerotic femoral artery specimens (lesion group) were collected, and HSP27 and its Phospho-HSP27 (Ser15), Phospho-HSP27 (Ser78) and Phospho-HSP27 (Ser82) were detected by western blotting. The data of the protein level between the normal group and the lesion group was made a statistical analysis.

Results

HSP27 concentration in group A was (40.73 ± 15.99) ng/ml, and ABI was 0.26 ± 0.20. HSP27 concentration in group B was (66.30 ± 24.70) ng/ml, and ABI was 0.64 ± 0.20. The protein expression of HSP27 and its phosphorylation in the normal group was 0.82 ± 0.13, 0.66 ± 0.12, 0.91 ± 0.24 and 0.90 ± 0.16, respectively; the protein expression of the lesion group was 0.45 ± 0.08, 0.42 ± 0.09, 0.39 ± 0.12 and 0.58 ± 0.11.

Conclusion

Patients with higher LEASO Fontaine stage and lower ABI had a lower HSP27 concentration. Serum HSP27 concentration was negatively correlated with the severity of LEASO, while HSP27 concentration was positively correlated with ABI value. The content of HSP27 and its phosphorylation of lesion group is significantly lower than that of normal group, which may be closely related to the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis.

Project description:This study investigated the expression pattern of retinoblastoma binding protein 4 (RBBP4) gene in glioma and explored its associations with clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of patients. Data retrieved from the GEPIA, CGGA, HPA and TIMER databases were processed to analyze RBBP4 expression in glioma and investigate its relationship with clinicopathologic characteristics, tumor immune infiltration and prognosis in glioma patients. Immunohistochemistry was applied to determine the expression of RBBP4 protein in glioma tissue. Additionally, the Coexpedia database was visited to identify co-expressed genes for RBBP4 gene, while the Cytoscape software was run to visualize the enriched GO entries and KEGG pathways of these co-expressed genes. The expression levels of RBBP4 in lower-grade glioma (LGG) and glioblastoma (GBM) tissues were markedly elevated when compared to normal tissues (both p < 0.05). The up-regulation of RBBP4 expression was associated with an increase in WHO grade (II-IV), wild-type IDH, and 1p/19q non-codeletion (all p < 0.05). Multi-variate Cox regression analysis showed that both increased abundance of infiltrating macrophages and up-regulated RBBP4 expression independently predicted poor survival outcomes in LGG patients (both p < 0.05). Furthermore, RBBP4 expression exhibited significant positive correlations with the abundance of infiltrating B cell, CD8+ T cell, CD4+ T cell, macrophage, neutrophil, and dendritic cell in LGG (all p < 0.05). Functional enrichment analyses indicated that the co-expressed genes associated with RBBP4 were highly involved in pathways such as the p53 signaling pathway, cell cycle, DNA replication, glutathione metabolism, as well as biological processes including cell cycle process, DNA replication, and DNA repair. High levels of RBBP4 are predictive for the poor survival outcome of LGG patients. RBBP4 gene, therefore, is expected to be a potential biomarker for prognosis of LGG and a target for immunotherapy. Highlights • The function and value of RBBP4 gene in prognosis of LGG have been less well studied by now.• Our study first used bioinformatics to reveal the expression pattern and prognostic value of RBBP4 in LGG.• Our study demonstrated that RBBP4 gene is promising as a target for clinical research and treatment of LGG.

Project description:CONTEXT:Neuromuscular preventive training programs effectively reduce injury and improve performance in youth athletes. However, program effectiveness is directly linked to program compliance, fidelity, and dosage. Preventive training programs are not widely adopted by youth sport coaches. One way to promote widespread dissemination and compliance is to identify implementation strategies that influence program adoption and maintenance. It is unknown how previously published programs have followed the elements of an implementation framework. The objective of this review was to evaluate how elements of the 7 steps of implementation, developed by Padua et al, have been performed in the evidence of lower extremity preventive training programs. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION:A systematic review of the literature from 1996 through September 2016 was conducted using electronic databases. Investigations that documented implementation of a sport team-based neuromuscular preventive training program in youth athletes and measured lower extremity injury rates were included. STUDY DESIGN:Clinical review. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:Level 4. RESULTS:A total of 12 studies met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Information regarding the completion of any of the 7 steps within the implementation framework developed by Padua et al was extracted. None of the 12 articles documented completion of all 7 steps. While each study addressed some of the 7 steps, no study addressed maintenance or an exit strategy for youth athletes. Program implementation appears limited in obtaining administrative support, utilizing an interdisciplinary implementation team, and monitoring or promoting fidelity of the intervention. CONCLUSION:Despite strong evidence supporting the effectiveness of preventive training programs in youth athletes, there is a gap between short-term improvements and long-term implementation strategies. Future interventions should include all 7 steps of the implementation framework to promote transparent dissemination of preventive training programs.
