Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) account for most cases of lung cancer. More effort is needed to research new drug and combination therapies for this disease. An anthraquinone derivative, emodin shows anticancer potency. We hypothesis that emodin suppresses lung cancer cells through hyaluronan (HA) synthase 2-HA-CD44/receptor for hyaluronic acid-mediated motility (RHAMM) interaction-dependent signaling pathway mediated cell cycle regulation.

We tested the effect of emodin on viability, apoptosis, and HA secretion of 5 NSCLC cell lines. We used NSCLC cells A549 for two rounds of knockdown study (1) knocking down either the synthases (HAS2 and HAS3) or the receptors (CD44 and RHAMM); (2) knocking down either HAS2 or HAS3. Then determined the effect of emodin on viability, HA secretion, cell cycle, and expression of cyclin proteins.

Emodin suppressed viability and HA secretion of all 5 NSCLC cell lines except for HA secretion of H460. Emodin had a slight apoptosis induction effect on all cell lines and was not different among cell lines. The knockdown of either the synthases or the receptors blocked emodin effects on viability while the knockdown of HAS2 block emodin effects but not HAS3. Emodin increased cells in the G1/G0 phase, and decreased cells in the S and G2/M phase by down-regulating cyclin A and B and up-regulating cyclin C, D, and E. HAS2 knockdown blocked the effects of emodin on the cell cycle.

This study demonstrated that emodin regulates the cell cycle of NSCLC cells through the HAS2-HA-CD44/RHAMM interaction-dependent signaling pathway.

Angiogenic placental growth factor (PlGF) plays a role in hypoxia-induced angiogenesis. Here, we aimed to investigate the biological roles of PlGF in cell proliferation and glycolysis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and the underlying molecular mechanisms.

PlGF was knocked down in H358 and H1975 cells by lentiviruses, which were then cultured under hypoxia (90% N
, 5%CO
and 5%O
) for 24h. PlGF was overexpressed in PC9 cells treated with XAV939, inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. PlGF-silencing H1975 cells were implanted into mice, and tumor xenografts were harvested and analyzed.

Hypoxia treatment led to up-regulation of PlGF, C-myc, lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), and β-catenin, promotion of cell proliferation and glycolysis in H358 and H1975 cells, which were obviously reversed by knocking down PlGF. In tumors, PlGF knockdown significantly prohibited cell proliferation and glycolysis, and decreased expression of C-myc, LDHA, and β-catenin. PlGF overexpression markedly strengthened cell proliferation, which was inhibited by β-catenin knockdown. Consistently, XAV939, inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin pathway, also inhibited PlGF-induced cell proliferation, glycolysis, and β-catenin expression in PC9 cells.

PlGF knockdown inhibited the stimulatory effect of hypoxia on cell proliferation and glycolysis of LUAD through deactivating Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Elevated angiopoietin-2 (Angpt-2) concentrations are associated with worse overall neurocognitive function in severe malaria survivors, but the specific domains affected have not been elucidated.

Ugandan children with severe malaria underwent neurocognitive evaluation a week after hospital discharge and at 6, 12 and 24months follow-up. The relationship between Angpt-2 concentrations and age-adjusted, cognitive sub-scale z-scores over time were evaluated using linear mixed effects models, adjusting for disease severity (coma, acute kidney injury, number of seizures in hospital) and sociodemographic factors (age, gender, height-for-age z-score, socio-economic status, enrichment in the home environment, parental education, and any preschool education of the child). The Mullen Scales of Early Learning was used in children < 5years and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children 2nd edition was used in children ≥ 5years of age. Angpt-2 levels were measured on admission plasma samples by enzyme-linked immuno presentation and in selected domains in older years.
Elevated Angpt-2 concentration in children with severe malaria is associated with worse outcomes in multiple neurocognitive domains. The relationship between Angpt-2 and worse cognition is evident in children less then  5 years of age at the time of severe malaria presentation and in selected domains in older years.
It is important to identify deterioration in normotensive patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). This study aimed to develop a tool for predicting deterioration among normotensive patients with acute PE on admission.

Clinical, laboratory, and computed tomography parameters were retrospectively collected for normotensive patients with acute PE who were treated at a Chinese center from January 2011 to May 2020 on admission into the hospital. Dorsomorphin AMPK inhibitor The endpoint of the deterioration was any adverse outcome within 30days. Eligible patients were randomized 21 to derivation and validation cohorts, and a nomogram was developed and validated by the aforementioned cohorts, respectively. The areas under the curves (AUCs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. A risk-scoring tool for predicting deterioration was applied as a web-based calculator.

The 845 eligible patients (420 men, 425 women) had an average age of 60.05 ± 15.43years. Adverse outcomes were identified for 81 patients (9.6%). The nomogram for adverse outcomes included heart rate, systolic pressure, N-terminal-pro brain natriuretic peptide, and ventricle/atrial diameter ratios at 4-chamber view, which provided AUC values of 0.
