Project description:EVs-Chrysin(Chrysin-treated SCC9) were isolated from SCC9 cells that were treated with chrysin. To improve the therapeutic effect, AuNPs were carried by EVs-Chrysin (Au-EVs). Compared to BGC823 and HCC-LM3 cells, the uptake of Au-EVs were specific in SCC9 cells. Moreover, Au-EVs combined with NIR enhanced cell apoptosis in TSCC cells. To confirm the role of miRNAs in cell apoptosis, the differentially expressed miRNAs between EVs-Con and EVs-Chrysin were screened by RNA-seq.
Project description:Background: There is some evidence demonstrating the effect of psychological interventions in improvements in health biological parameters. To best of our knowledge, no study had addressed the impact of any psychological intervention on extracellular vesicles. In addition, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Emotion Focused Therapy for Cancer Recovery (EFT-CR) in the group have never been explored regarding extracellular vesicles and the effectiveness of these was not compared yet.
Objectives:
1. To explore and compare the effect of MBCT and EFT-CR on biological parameters and psychological variables in distressed people who have had breast, prostate and colorectal cancer;
2. In addition, we will explore the acceptability through recruitment and retention rates of MBCT and EFT-CR in group and evaluate whether these interventions are appropriate for a larger clinical trial.
Methods: The design of this study is a parallel randomized controlled trial. Participants will be randomized into MBCT, EFT-CR or usual care. Outcome measures will be assessed before, at the end of the intervention (8 weeks) and follow-ups (24 and 52 weeks from the baseline moment).
Hypotheses: The researchers expected that both interventions will have an effect on extracellular vesicles and other study biomarkers as well as improvements in psychological outcomes, compared to treatment as usual (TAU) group. Regarding the comparative effectiveness, we did not have evidence to hypothesize which one of the interventions will be superior in both biological (extracellular vesicles) and psychological outcomes.
Contribution for practice: The results of this preliminary study would permit to know if there are benefits of these psychological interventions on changes in extracellular vesicles and on psychological outcomes related to health. In addition, this study will permit to determine the acceptability of conducting a larger randomized controlled trial.
Project description:To further investigate the molecular mechanisms by which EVs mediated the abnormal localization of tight junction proteins and adherence junction protein, we performed miRNA microarray analysis of extracellular vesicles isolated from breast cancer cells. miRNA expression in extracellular vesicles was collected from MDA-MB-231-D3H1, MDA-MB-231-D3H2LN, BMD2a and BMD2b breast cancer cell lines.
Project description:Similar to bacterial proteins that are targeted to distinct macrophages organelles via extracellular vesicles, we propose that these vesicles also traffic small RNAs to modulate specific host factors. To test this, we aim to sequence extracellular vesicle derived sRNA, and whole bacterial small RNAs to determine selectivity, and to identify their bacterial and mammalian targets (Experimental Plan in Table-1). For this we will collect highly purified vesicles from N. gonorrhoeae (strain MS11A). We will also treat mouse derived primary macrophages with extracellular vesicles and compare their RNA response to untreated macrophages (Table-2). This will provide novel insights into how macrophages respond to N. gonorrhoeae infections. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Project description:mRNA profiles of murine leukemic B cells (Eu-TCL1 mice) treated with extracellular vesicles were generated by 3'-sequencing, in triplicate.
Project description:Chrysin has been reported to have anticancer effect. We used 40μM chrysin to treat SGC7901 cells for 48h, then sequenced their RNA, analyzed the differentially expressed genes before and after treatment, screened out the anticancer target of chrysin, and then carried on the next analysis
