The microbiome is emerging as a crucial player of the immune checkpoint in cancer. Melanoma is a highly immunogenic tumour, and the gut microbiome composition has been correlated to prognosis and evolution of advanced melanoma and proposed as biomarker for immune checkpoint therapy.

We investigated the gut fungal and bacterial composition in early-stage melanoma and correlated microbial profiles with histopathological features.

Bacterial 16S rRNA and fungal ITS region sequencing was performed from faecal samples of patients affected by stage I and II melanoma, and healthy controls. A meta-analysis with gut microbiota data from metastatic melanoma patients was also carried out.

We found a combination of gut fungal and bacterial profiles significantly discriminating M patients from controls. In melanoma patients, we observed an abundance of Prevotella copri and yeasts belonging to the Saccharomycetales order. We found bacterial and fungal community correlated to melanoma invasiveness, whereas specific f a direct or indirect immunomodulation.
To compare differences in efficacy during maintenance treatment for bipolar disorder (BD) according to lithium serum levels. A multicenter retrospective cohort study and a dose-response meta-analysis were conducted.

The cohort study was conducted in Taiwan from 2001 to 2019 to identify patients with euthymic BD according to different serum levels (<0.4, 0.4-0.8, and 0.8-1.2mmol/L). We adopted adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for time to the recurrence of mood episodes having the <0.4mmol/L group as the reference group. Moreover, we systematically searched for related articles in major databases before January 31, 2021 (PROSPERO CRD42021235812). We used random-effects modeling to estimate the dose-response relationships between lithium serum levels and recurrence of mood episodes, which were depicted as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs.

A total of 1406 participants (cohort 466; meta-analysis 940) were included. In the cohort study, the 0.4-0.8mmol/L group was associated with a significantly lower risk of recurrences (aHR 0.75), while the 0.8-1.2mmol/L group had a lower risk without statistical significance (aHR 0.77). The dose-response meta-analysis showed that with the increase in lithium serum levels, the risk decreased (linear model OR 0.85, for every 0.1mmol/L increase; non-linear model OR 1.00 at 0.0mmol/L, 0.42 at 0.4mmol/L, and 0.27 at 0.8mmol/L).

Although confounding by indication cannot be excluded, the combined results suggest a significant preventative effect on the recurrence of major affective episodes among those with serum levels of 0.4-0.8mmol/L.

Mutations and polymorphisms in genes of cell- cycle and apoptosis regulatory pathway influence the breast cancer risk. Analysis of single low penetrance mutant alleles may not reflect the precise risk association when analyzed alone.

A total of 115 DNA samples extracted from breast cancer patients and an equal number of age and sex-matched normal controls were used for polymorphic analysis. Genotyping for p21 rs1801270 and CCND1 rs603965 was done by PCR-RFLP method while AFLP method was used for p53 rs1042522 single nucleotide polymorphism detection. Statistical methods included simple mean±SD and correlation coefficient to analyze the risk of association of p21, p53 and CCND1 SNPs and breast cancer.

Individuals harboring SNPs in p21, p53 and CCND1 genes namely rs1801270, rs1042522 and rs603965, respectively were rendered increasingly susceptible to developing breast cancer when compared with normal controls.

Our report emphasizes the need of combinational analysis of low-penetrance mutant alleles to assess accurately their association with breast cancer risk. Future case-control studies analyzing gene-environment interactions across different populations may confirm reported risk associations of studied polymorphisms with developing breast cancer.

This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of LncRNA FAM201A mediating lung squamous cell carcinoma progression through interaction with miR-101.

NCI-H520 cells and SK-MES-1 cells were transfected with miRNA-101-mimics and miRNA-101-inhibitor, the quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect FAM201A and miR-101 expression. CCK-8, Wound healing assay and transwell assay were utilized to detect the influence of FAM201A on the malignancy of NCI-H520NCI-H520 and SK-MES-1SK-MES-1 cells. Cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. The underlying pathways of FAM201A were measured using Western blot. Xenograft tumor experiments were conducted to detect tumor growth and metastasis in vivo.NCI-H520SK-MES-1 Kaplan-Meier method calculated patient survival.

(1) Silencing of FAM201A inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of NCI-H520 and SK-MES-1cells and stimulated cell apoptosis significantly. Furthermore, FAM201A elimination hindered tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. LY294002 molecular weight (2) Compared with the si-control group, the protein expression of Ki67, Vimentin, Cleaved-caspase-3 and N-cadherin were decreased in the si-FAM201A group. (3) After transfection of miR-101-mimics, the expression level of Vimentin protein was significantly increased, while the expression level of Vimentin protein was significantly decreased after miR-101-inhibitor transfection. (4) MiR-101 mimics could alleviate FAM201A silencing-induced inhibitive effects on cell proliferation, migration, invasion and promotive effects on cell apoptosis.

FAM201A could target miR-101 and upregulate Vimentin to inhibit lung cancer progression. FAM201A was expected to be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for lung cancer.
