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:IntroductionThe therapeutic effect of chemical lumbar sympathectomy (CLS) on ischemic diseases of the lower limbs varies greatly among individuals. The time to peak (TTP) response in contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can reflect the perfusion disorder of the calf skeletal muscle and the collateral circulation. In this study we evaluated the predictive value of CEUS in patients treated with CLS for end-stage atherosclerotic occlusive disease of the lower extremity (ASO-LE).MethodsThis was a prospective study that included patients with end-stage ASO-LE and moderate to severe pain who had undergone a CEUS examination and CLS procedure and who were observed for 12 months after surgery. The patients' characteristics and prognostic factors, including lower limb pain score, skin temperature, walking distance, and ulcer and gangrene healing, were recorded.ResultsFifty-eight patients with a mean age of 66.24 (range 58-78) years were included in the study, of whom 42 (71.41%) were men. Following the CLS procedure, the numerical rating scale (NRS)-measured pain decreased significantly, and the skin temperature of the affected limb increased significantly (P < 0.05). The satisfaction rate of lower limb pain relief 1 year after operation was 53.45%. Correlation analysis showed that preoperative TTP response was correlated with the NRS score and skin temperature of the affected limb at 6 months and 12 months post surgery (P < 0.05). The binary logistic regression analysis indicated that a longer preoperative TTP response was associated with a higher risk of poor pain relief after CLS (odds ratio 1.126, 95% confidence interval 1.058-1.205). The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that preoperative TTP response had a certain predictive value on CLS treatment effect, with a sensitivity and specificity of 81.5% and 83.9%, respectively. When the preoperative TTP response was > 77.5, the risk of poor response after CLS increased.ConclusionsPreoperative TTP response was able to predict the therapeutic effect of CLS to a certain extent, and thus may aid physicians in determining the choice of CLS treatment for patients with ASO-LE.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChicTR1900028424 (principal investigator: Yue Wu; date of registration: 21 December 2019).

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.
