Degradation of shoots, characterized by stunted growth and signs of water deficit, is common in bamboo stands. However, the specific mechanisms underlying water utilization in degrading shoots remain unclear. This study sought to address this gap by harvesting bamboo shoots and culms of Phyllostachys edulis ‘Pachyloen’, employing cytological and physiological techniques to compare water utilization mechanisms between healthy and degrading shoots, and investigating the water supply to bamboo shoots by the parent bamboo. The water pressure in the degrading shoots was markedly lower compared to that of the healthy shoots, and it declined as the degradation progressed, resulting in reduced water content and the cessation of guttation in the degrading shoots. In conditions of water deficit, the percentage of free water in bamboo shoots decreased while the percentages of bound and semi-bound water increased, with the proportion of semi-bound water reaching as high as 88.13% in the late stages of degradation. The water potential of parent bamboo culms of different ages varied at different times of the day and during different growth stages of bamboo shoots, showing a strong association with the development of bamboo shoots. Conversely, the correlation between changes in the water potential of bamboo shoots and their degradation patterns was found to be comparatively minimal. The weakening of the connection between the bamboo shoots and the parent bamboo culms may play a significant role in the degradation of the bamboo shoots. This is evidenced by a decrease in the fluorescence intensity of the nucleus in bamboo shoots and the degradation of genetic material. This study lays the foundation for future research into the mechanisms of bamboo shoot degradation.

Summary: In this study, we evaluated the effect of a specific synbiotic on CAC (AOM/DSS-induced colitis-associated cancer). We confirmed that the synbiotic intervention was able to protect the intestinal barrier and inhibit CAC occurrence via upregulating tight junction proteins and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, the synbiotic significantly improved the disorder of the colonic microbiota of CAC mice, promoted the formation of SCFAs and the production of secondary bile acids, and alleviated the accumulation of primary bile acids in the CAC mice. Meanwhile, the synbiotic could significantly inhibit the abnormal activation of the intestinal Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway significantly related to IL-23. In a word, the synbiotic can inhibit the occurrence and development of colorectal tumors and it may be a functional food to prevent inflammation-related colon tumors, and the research also provided a theoretical basis for improving the intestinal microecological environment through diet therapy.

Recently, accumulating evidence has suggested that gut microbiota is involved in modulating brain function and behavior through the gut-brain axis. Manipulation of gut microbiota by functional foods, such as prebiotics and probiotics, might improve mental health in stress-related psychiatric disorders. In present study, we found that supplementation of fructooligosaccharides could improve the depression-like behaviors and had a significant effect on the composition of gut flora in chronic stress mice. FOS treatment exhibited no effects on the elevated level of serum corticosterone in chronic stress mice, but significantly reversed the alterations of colonic tight junction proteins (Claudin1, Occludin, ZO-1) and reduced the pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) in colon and brain. Thus, FOS might exert an anti-depressant effect via the prevention of intestinal barrier impairment and neuroinflammation induced by chronic stress.

Background: X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1) and N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) are involved in oncogenesis and progression of many human cancer types. However, the roles of XBP1 and NAT1 in gallbladder cancer (GBC) are never reported.Methods: We examined XBP1 and NAT1 expression in GBC and matched adjacent non-tumor tissues via Western blotting. Then, we assayed XBP1 and NAT1 expression in 215 GBCs, including 69 squamous cell/adenosquamous carcinomas (SC/ASCs) and 146 adenocarcinomas (ACs) with immunohistochemistry. Their prognostic and clinicopathological significance was further evaluated using the χ2 test or Fisher's exact test, Kaplan–Meier univariate survival analysis, and log-rank tests.Results: XBP1 expression was upregulated, and NAT1 expression was downregulated in GBC. Immunohistochemical results showed that XBP1 expression was negatively associated with NAT1 expression in GBC, including SC/ASC and AC. The rate of patients with an age of more than 45 years, positivity of lymph node metastasis, and invasion were significantly higher in SC/ASC than those in AC (all P < 0.05). The percentage of XBP1-positive and NAT1-negative expression was significantly higher in the cases with poor differentiation, advanced tumor, nodes, and metastases (TNM) stage, lymph node metastasis, invasion, and only receiving biopsy in GBC, SC/ASC, and AC (all P < 0.05). XBP1-positive and NAT1-negative expression was positively related to larger tumor size (>3 cm) in GBC and AC. There was a negative association between XBP1 and NAT1 expression in GBC, SC/ASC, and AC (all P < 0.05). Positive XBP1 and negative NAT1 expression was closely associated with decreased overall survival in GBC, SC/ASC, and AC patients (all P < 0.05). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that positive XBP1 or negative NAT1 expression was an independent factor for poor prognosis in gallbladder SC/ASC and AC patients.Conclusions: This study indicates that positive XBP1 and negative NAT1 expression are closely associated with the clinicopathological and biological behaviors and poor prognosis in GBC.

Gallbladder cancer is a relatively uncommon human malignant tumor with an extremely poor prognosis. Currently, no biomarkers can accurately diagnose gallbladder cancer and predict patients’ prognosis. XRCC1 is involved in tumorigenesis, progression, and chemo-resistance of several human cancers, but the role of XRCC1 in gallbladder cancer is never reported. In this study, we investigated the expression of XRCC1 and its clinicopathological and prognostic significance in gallbladder cancer, and explored the biological role of XRCC1 in gallbladder cancer cells. We found that XRCC1 was significantly up-regulated in gallbladder cancer in protein and mRNA levels. Positive XRCC1 expression was correlated with aggressive clinicopathological features and was an independent poor prognostic factor in gallbladder cancer. The ROC curves suggested that XRCC1 expression had potential clinicopathological diagnostic value in gallbladder cancer. In vitro, XRCC1 was overexpression in CD133+GBC-SD cells compared to GBC-SD cells. In functional experiment, XRCC1 knockdown had a non-significant impact on proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of CD133+GBC-SD cells. But, XRCC1 knockdown could significantly improve the sensitivity of CD133+GBC-SD cells to 5-Fluorouracil via promoting cell necrosis and apoptosis. Thus, this study indicates that XRCC1 may be a promising predictive biomarker of gallbladder cancer and a potential therapeutic target for gallbladder cancer.

Chondrosarcoma is the second most common malignant bone tumor. Current therapies remain ineffective, resulting in poor prognoses. Biomarkers for chondrosarcoma and predictors of its prognosis have not been established. Mental health–related proteins have been associated with the pathogenesis, progression, and prognosis of many cancers, but their association with chondrosarcoma has not been reported. In this study, the expression and clinicopathological significance of the mental health–related proteins DAXX, DRD3, and DISC1 in chondrosarcoma tissue samples were examined, over an 84-months follow-up period. In immunohistochemical analysis, the rates of positive DAXX, DRD3, and DISC1 expression were significantly higher in chondrosarcoma than in osteochondroma tissue (P < 0.01). The percentages of positive DAXX, DRD3, and DISC1 expression were significantly lower in tissues with good differentiation (P < 0.01), AJCC stage I/ II (P < 0.01), Enneking stage I (P < 0.01), and non-metastasis (P < 0.05), respectively. In Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, significantly shorter mean survival times were associated with moderate and poor differentiation (P = 0.000), AJCC stage III/IV (P = 0.000), Enneking stage II/III (P = 0.000), metastasis (P = 0.019), invasion (P = 0.013), and positive DAXX (P = 0.012), and/or DRD3 (P = 0.018) expression. In Cox regression analysis, moderate and poor differentiation (P = 0.006), AJCC stage III/IV (P = 0.013), Enneking stage II/III (P = 0.016), metastasis (P = 0.033), invasion (P = 0.011), and positive DAXX (P = 0.033), and/or DRD3 (P = 0.025) staining correlated negatively with the postoperative survival rate and positively with mortality. In competing-risks regression analysis, differentiation (P = 0.005), metastasis (P = 0.014), invasion (P = 0.028), AJCC stage (P = 0.003), Enneking stage (P = 0.036), and DAXX (P = 0.039), and DRD3(P = 0.019) expression were independent predictors of death from chondrosarcoma. The areas under receiver operating characteristic curves for DAXX, DRD3, and DISC1 expression were 0.673 (95% CI, 0.557–0.788; P = 0.010), 0.670 (95% CI, 0.556–0.784; P = 0.011), and 0.688 (95% CI, 0.573–0.802; P = 0.005), respectively. These results suggest that DAXX, DRD3, and DISC1 could serve as biomarkers of chondrosarcoma progression and predictors of its prognosis.

Abstract Background This study investigated UGP2 (uridine diphosphate-glucose pyrophosphorylase-2) and CFL1 (cofilin-1) expression in pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDC), paracancerous tissue (PT), benign lesions (BL), and normal tissue (NT) and their clinicopathological significance. Methods Surgical specimens, which were collected from 106 cases of pancreatic ductal carcinoma, 35 cases of paracancerous tissues, 55 cases of benign lesions and 13 cases of normal pancreatic tissues, were fixed with 4% formaldehyde to prepare conventional paraffin-embedded sections. EnVision immunohistochemical was used to stain for UGP2 and CFL1. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to assess the correlation of expression pattern with survival. Results We found that positive UGP2 and CFL1 expression in PDC were significantly higher than those in PT, BL, and NT. In PT and BL with positive UGP2 and CFL1 expression, mild to severe atypical hyperplasia or intraepithelial neoplasia of grades II–III was observed in ductal epithelium. Positive UGP2 and CFL1 expression in cases with high differentiation, no lymph node metastasis, no surrounding invasion, and TNM (tumor-node-metastasis) staging I or/and II were significantly lower than those in cases with poor differentiation, lymph node metastasis, surrounding invasion, and TNM stage III and/or IV. Positive UGP2 expression in male patients was significantly lower than that in female patients. UGP2 and CFL1 expression in PDC were positively correlated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed the degree of differentiation, tumor maximal diameter, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, and surrounding invasion, and UGP2 and CFL1 expression were closely related to the average survival time of patients with PDC. The survival time of patients with positive UGP2 and CFL1 expression was significantly shorter than that of patients with negative expression. Cox multivariate analysis showed that poor differentiation, tumor maximal diameter ≥ 3 cm, TNM stage III or IV, lymph node metastasis, surrounding invasion, and positive UGP2 and CFL1 expression was negatively correlated with the postoperative survival rate and positively correlated with the mortality of patients with PDC. Conclusion Positive expression of UGP2 and CFL1 can serve a valuable prognostic factor in pancreatic cancer.

The expression of Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) and Chemokine ligand 21 (CCL21) is associated with the tumorigenesis and progression of a variety of tumors, but whether alterations in their expression levels correlates with the carcinogenesis and progression of EHCC is still unknown. This study investigated the clinicopathological significance of CBS and CCL21 expression in EHCC. We investigated the correlations between the expression of CBS and CCL21 and clinicopathological characteristics in EHCC using EnVision immunohistochemistry. The expression of CBS and CCL21 was significantly higher in EHCC tumors than in nontumor tissues (P
