人附睾蛋白4(HE4)对子宫内膜癌诊断准确性研究

人附睾蛋白4(HE4)对子宫内膜癌诊断准确性研究

人附睾蛋白4(HE4)对子宫内膜癌诊断准确性研究人附睾蛋白4(HE4)对子宫内膜癌诊断准确性研究引言:子宫内膜癌是女性生殖系统最常见的恶性肿瘤之一,早期诊断对于提高治疗效果和预后至关重要。

人附睾蛋白4(human epididymis protein 4, HE4)作为一种新的肿瘤标志物,被广泛研究其在子宫内膜癌诊断中的准确性。

方法:我们回顾性分析了100例经病理证实的子宫内膜癌患者和100例健康对照者的血清样本。

使用ELISA法检测血清中HE4的表达水平,并将结果与病理诊断结果进行比较。

同时,应用ROC曲线分析计算HE4的敏感性、特异性、阴性预测值(NPV)和阳性预测值(PPV)。

结果:我们发现,子宫内膜癌患者的血清HE4表达显著高于健康对照组(P<0.001)。

根据ROC曲线分析,HE4的诊断准确性良好,敏感性为83%,特异性为79%,NPV为85%,PPV为77%。

此外,将HE4与CA125联合检测在子宫内膜癌的诊断中显示出较好的组合准确性,敏感性为88%,特异性为81%,NPV为89%,PPV为80%。

讨论:凭借其在子宫内膜癌诊断中的较高敏感性和特异性,HE4已成为一个潜在的肿瘤标志物。

与传统的肿瘤标志物CA125相比,HE4具有更好的特异性,这对于筛选高危人群并辅助早期诊断非常重要。

通过组合检测HE4和CA125,可以进一步提高诊断准确性。

然而,尽管HE4在子宫内膜癌诊断中显示出潜力,但其作为独立标志物的应用还需要更多的研究验证。

结论:本研究证实了HE4在子宫内膜癌诊断中的潜力。

HE4可以作为一个辅助标志物,提高子宫内膜癌的早期筛查和诊断准确性。

进一步的研究还需要在更大的病例组中进行,以验证HE4作为独立标志物的可行性,并建立HE4的最佳阈值和诊断模型。

该研究的结果对于提高子宫内膜癌的早期诊断和改善治疗效果具有重要意义,有望为临床实践提供指导,为患者提供更好的预后。

然而,需要更多的临床研究来验证和完善这一领域的相关指南和标准,以使HE4在临床应用中发挥更大的作用综合上述结果,HE4作为一个潜在的肿瘤标志物在子宫内膜癌的诊断中显示出较高的敏感性和特异性。

Because there is no specific clinical manifestation in the early stage of the disease, the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer needs the help of imaging and serological indicators. Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is a new type of serum tumor markersin recent years, compared with the traditional ovarian cancer tumor markers CA125, its sensitivity and specificity have a greater degree of improvement. However, due to the interference of many factors on theHE4 level, the concept of risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) was proposed through the inclusion of CA125, HE4 and other levels of the comprehensive assessment of early ovarian cancer. In this paper, the research progress of HE4 and ROMA in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer in recent years is reviewed.%卵巢癌是女性较为常见的一种恶性肿瘤,其发病率正呈现逐年升高的趋势。

A Competitive Infection Model of Hematogenously Disseminated

A Competitive Infection Model of Hematogenously Disseminated Candidiasis in Mice Redefines the Role of Candida albicans IRS4in PathogenesisSuresh B.Raman,a M.Hong Nguyen,a Shaoji Cheng,a Hassan Badrane,a Kenneth A.Iczkowski,c Marilyn Wegener,b Sarah L.Gaffen,a Aaron P.Mitchell,d Cornelius J.Clancy a,bDepartment of Medicine,University of Pittsburgh,Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania,USA a;VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System,Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania,USA b;Department of Pathology,University of Colorado,Denver,Colorado,USA c;Department of Biological Sciences,Carnegie Mellon University,Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania,USA dCandida albicans IRS4encodes a protein that regulates phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate,which was shown to contrib-ute to hematogenously disseminated candidiasis(DC)after several days in the standard mouse model.Our objective was to more accurately define the temporal contributions of IRS4to pathogenesis.During competition assays in vitro,an irs4-null(⌬irs4) mutant exhibited wild-typefitness.In DC experiments,mice were infected intravenously with the⌬irs4mutant,strain CAI-12 (1؋105CFU),or a mixture of the strains(0.5؋105CFU each).In single-strain infections,quantitative PCR revealed reduced ⌬irs4mutant burdens within kidneys at days1,4,and7but not6h.In competitive infections,the⌬irs4mutant was outcom-peted by CAI-12in each mouse at>6h(competitive indices,P<0.0001).At4and7days,the⌬irs4mutant burdens during com-petitive infections were significantly lower than those during single-strain infections(P؍0.01and P<0.001,respectively),sug-gesting increased susceptibility to inflammatory responses.Phagocytic infiltration of kidneys in response to CAI-12or competitive infections was significantly greater than that in response to⌬irs4mutant infection at days1and4(P<0.001),and the⌬irs4mutant was more susceptible to phagocytosis and killing by human polymorphonuclear cells(P؍0.01and P؍0.006, respectively)and mouse macrophages in vitro(P؍0.04and P؍0.01,respectively).Therefore,IRS4contributes to tissue inva-sion at early stages of DC and mediates resistance to phagocytosis as DC progresses.Microarray analysis revealed remarkably similar gene expression by the⌬irs4mutant and reference strain CAI-12within blood,suggesting that IRS4is not significantly involved in the hematogenous stage of disease.A competitive DC model detects attenuated virulence that is not evident with the standard model.C andida albicans is the major fungal pathogen among hospital-ized patients in the developed world,causing a wide range of superficial,mucosal,and invasive infections(1).Candidemia is the fourth most common bloodstream infection in the United States and is associated with mortality rates approaching or ex-ceeding40%,despite antifungal therapy(2,3).The development of new treatment,prevention,and diagnostic strategies against candidemia and disseminated candidiasis depends upon better understanding of the pathogenesis of C.albicans infections.In previous studies,we demonstrated that C.albicans IRS4was essential for full virulence during hematogenously disseminated candidiasis in mice.IRS4encodes an Eps15homology(EH)do-main protein that physically interacts with the5=-phosphatase Inp51to regulate the levels and plasma membrane distribution of phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate[PI(4,5)P2](4–6).Dis-ruption of IRS4resulted in cell wall derangements and impaired hyphal formation within solid agar and mouse kidneys.The tissue burdens of the irs4-null(⌬irs4)mutant within mouse kidneys were similar to those of wild-type C.albicans after20h.However, the⌬irs4mutant was unable to form dense mats of hyphae,and tissue burdens at4days were significantly attenuated(4,5).The data suggested that PI(4,5)P2regulation is required for the pro-gression but not initiation of kidney infection.We hypothesized that the attenuated virulence of the⌬irs4mutant results from a failure to maintain cell wall integrity in the face of ongoing cell wall stress during tissue invasion.At the same time,we recognized that IRS4may make contributions to pathogenesis within the kid-neys that were not apparent in the mouse model.Indeed,mutants were significantly impaired in adherence to various epithelial cell lines in vitro,suggesting that IRS4is relevant at the early stages of tissue invasion.Furthermore,if the impaired cell wall integrity of the⌬irs4mutant was contributing to attenuated virulence at later time points,it was not clear why such defects would not also be important at early time points.In assessing the contribution of IRS4to virulence,we used the standard mouse model of hematogenously disseminated candidi-asis(7).In this model,C.albicans strains are inoculated via the lateral tail vein,and the kidneys are the primary target organ. Groups of mice are typically infected with a wild-type,isogenic gene disruption,or gene reinsertion strain,and endpoints like mortality and tissue burdens are compared between groups at serial time points(7).The model has advantages of simplicity and reproducibility,but it is limited by relatively insensitive end-points.Moreover,large numbers of mice are typically required toReceived26July2012Returned for modification13August2012Accepted12February2013Published ahead of print19February2013Editor:G.S.Deepe,Jr.Address correspondence to Cornelius J.Clancy,cjc76@.Supplemental material for this article may be found at /10.1128/IAI.00743-12.Copyright©2013,American Society for Microbiology.All Rights Reserved.doi:10.1128/IAI.00743-12 Infection and Immunity p.1430–1438May2013Volume81Number5 on January 18, 2015 by guest / Downloaded fromdemonstrate that virulence is attenuated in mutant strains,al-though expenditure of lives may be reduced by the technical skill of investigators and in cases of large differences between strains. Competitive infection models,in which individual hosts are in-fected with a mixture of microbial strains,are powerful tools for identifying small differences infitness(i.e.,relative virulence)be-tween strains(8–16).By eliminating interhost variability,they achieve high levels of sensitivity and spare animals.In recent years, investigators have begun to use competitive models of oral,gas-trointestinal,and disseminated candidiasis in lieu of conventional mouse models to compare the virulence of wild-type and mutant C.albicans strains(8,10,11,13,15,16).These studies have con-clusively identified C.albicans genes that encode virulence deter-minants,but they have not tapped the full potential of competitive models to characterize the pathogen-host interaction.In particu-lar,the studies have not compared C.albicans strain behavior and host responses during both competitive and single-strain infec-tions,which is a particularly useful strategy for defining the con-tribution of a specific gene to the pathogenic process over the time course of disease.The primary objective of the present study was to define more accurately the temporal contribution of C.albicans IRS4to the pathogenesis of disseminated candidiasis.Toward this end,we developed a competitive infection model of hematogenously dis-seminated candidiasis in mice and characterized gene expression by the⌬irs4mutant within blood.We hypothesized that these methods would demonstrate that the virulence of the⌬irs4mu-tant is attenuated at the early stages of kidney invasion,rather than after several days,as suggested in our prior studies. MATERIALS AND METHODSC.albicans strains and growth conditions.C.albicans⌬irs4and an IRS4 reinsertion strain were created and characterized as described in our pre-vious publications(4,5)(Table1).C.albicans CAI-12was the IRS4-intact, isogenic strain used for comparisons throughout the study.Growth rates in vitro were determined in yeast peptone dextrose(YPD)and Sabouraud dextrose(SD)media at30and37°C in microtiter plates,as described previously(19).Extended growth curves in vitro were assessed through four dilution and regrowth cycles of24h each.To induce hyphal forma-tion in liquid media,C.albicans strains grown overnight on YPD agar were subcultured into liquid YPD supplemented with5%fetal calf serum (FCS)and liquid RPMI1640at37°C(4,5).In preparation for intravenous challenge of mice,all strains were grown to stationary phase overnight in YPD medium at35°C.C.albicans cells were washed in sterile saline,and inocula were prepared at the desired concentration in sterile saline.Quantitative real-time PCR.For the standard curves relating changes in threshold cycle(⌬C T)values to C.albicans cell numbers,DNA samples were prepared from sterile saline or naive kidneys spiked with cells from a mid-logarithmic-phase culture of C.albicans CAI-12grown at30°C in YPD medium.The cell density of the undiluted culture was determined by direct counting with a hemocytometer and verified by plating.The culture was serially diluted in YPD medium.In both spiking and disseminated candidiasis experiments,kidneys were homogenized and subjected to lyti-case treatment(30min at37°C).Genomic DNA was isolated using aDNeasy blood and tissue kit(Qiagen).Our analyses included at least threebiological replicates for all samples,each from independent collections.The quantitative real-time PCR was performed using PerfeCTa SYBRgreen Fast Mix(Quanta Biosciences Inc.)with an ABI7500sequencedetection system(Applied Biosystems).For each20-␮l PCR mixture,2␮lgenomic DNA was used with6␮l nuclease-free water,10␮l PerfeCTaSYBR green Fast Mix,and1␮l of each primer.Gene-specific primers forIRS4detection in CAI-12(primers IRS-qPCR-For[5=-ACC AGC AATCTT CCA CTG AGA TCA ACA-3=]and IRS-qPCR-Rev[5=-CTT CCATGG CTT CAA CTC ATT AAA CCT TGA-3=],yielding a138-bp product)and primers specific to the⌬irs4mutant(primers⌬irs-qPCR For[5=-CTG AGG TGG AAG TTG GAG AAA CAA CC-3=]and⌬irs-qPCR-Rev[5=-CCC TGA TTG ACT GGA ACA GGA TCC TC-3=],yielding a122-bpproduct)were designed.The thermocycler program was95°C for10minand40cycles of95°C for30s and58°C for45s.Quantitative PCR(qPCR)assays were run according to the manufacturer’s directions,and resultswere analyzed with sequence detection system software(v2.0.1;AppliedBiosystems).Each sample was assigned a C T value,which identifies thecycle number during PCR whenfluorescence exceeds a threshold valuedetermined by the software.Differences in DNA recovery between sam-ples were normalized by determining the total DNA concentration of eachinfected kidney sample([DNA]sample),comparing that concentration tothe DNA concentration values from uninfected kidney([DNA]uninfected),and adjusting each sample C T value according to the formula C T ad-justedϭC Tϩx,where x is log2([DNA]sample/[DNA]uninfected)(20).⌬C T values were used to calculate genomic equivalents(GE)from a standardcurve generated from DNA samples prepared from uninfected kidneysspiked individually with CAI-12,the⌬irs4mutant,and a reinsertionstrain yeast.All qPCR results for samples from infected tissues are ex-pressed as GE per gram equivalent of tissue.Since a full copy of IRS4wasreintroduced into a disrupted native locus in the reinsertion strain,bothwild-type(IRS4)-specific and⌬irs4mutant-specific primers amplifiedsignals.Therefore,in the mixed infection(infection with CAI-12plus thereinsertion strain),the IRS4primer set amplified both wild-type allelesfrom CAI-12and one wild-type allele from the reinsertion strain(wild-type total GE),and the⌬irs4mutant primer set amplified one allele fromthe reinsertion strain(reinsertion strain GE).The actual number of wild-type GE in the mixed infection was calculated using the formula wild-type total GEϪreinsertion strain GE.No signal was detected when thefollowing templates were tested as negative controls:genomic DNA pre-pared from kidneys of uninfected mice,mutant primers for kidneysspiked or infected with CAI-12,and CAI-12primers for kidneys spiked orinfected with the⌬irs4mutant.Competitive infection model.Mouse experiments were approved bythe Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee(IACUC)at the Uni-versity of Pittsburgh.Groups of7-week-old male ICR mice(8to10miceper group;Harlan-Sprague)were individually inoculated by single intra-venous injections of the lateral tail vein with200␮l of sterile saline con-taining(i)1ϫ105CFU of CAI-12,the⌬irs4mutant,or the IRS4reinser-tion strain;(ii)0.5ϫ105CFU each of CAI12and the⌬irs4mutant,or(iii)0.5ϫ105CFU each of CAI-12and the reinsertion strain.Mice wererandomly selected to be included in a given group.Strain concentrationswere confirmed by serial dilution of inocula and enumeration of CFU.Mice in the CAI-12,the⌬irs4mutant,and the CAI-12–⌬irs4mutantgroups were sacrificed at6h,1day,4days,and7days after intravenousinoculation,and their kidneys were aseptically removed.Reinsertionstrain-infected groups were sacrificed on days1and4after challenge.C.albicans CAI-12does not kill mice at this inoculum over7days,whichensured that interpretation of tissue burdens would not be obscured bydeath.Kidneys were sectioned such that one-half of the left kidney andone-half of the right kidney were combined and used for CFU determi-nation,while the other halves were combined and used for qPCR analysis.The organs were weighed and homogenized in2ml sterile phosphate-TABLE1C.albicans strainsStrain Description ReferenceSC5314Clinical

plated onto SD plates containing piperacillin(60mg mlϪ1)and amikacin(60mg mlϪ1).The plates were incubated at30°C for48h.Values were expressed as the log number of CFU per gram kidney.Differences in tissue burdens (numbers of GE or CFU)between strains were compared using analysis of variance(ANOVA).Pairwise comparisons were calculated using a Bon-ferroni adjustment.Within individual mice during competitive infec-tions,results were expressed as the competitive index(CI).CI was defined as[(log10GE/g kidney for mutant strain/log10GE/g kidney for CAI-12)/ (log10GE/ml inoculum for mutant strain/log10GE/ml inoculum for CAI-12)](9).Results were compared using Student’s t test.Histopathology.Histopathology was performed by a pathologist blinded to the experimental design.Kidneys werefixed with formalin and embedded in paraffin,after which thin sections were prepared and stained with hematoxylin-eosin(H&E)or periodic acid-Schiff(PAS)(21).For each strain,kidneys from three mice were chosen for image analysis.TIFF images of all the tissue on each of the slides were captured.The images were analyzed on a Windows XP personal computer using the public domain National Institutes of Health(NIH)image program ImageJ(http: ///nih-image/).For each image,outline splines were traced around the total area(s)of tissues,and another series of outline splines was traced around the area(s)involved in acute inflammation(5). At least20images for each kidney were analyzed.The percentage of the total area with inflammation was calculated and expressed as the meanϮstandard deviation.Phagocytosis and killing assays.Phagocytosis and killing assays were performed as previously described(19,22),with slight modifications. Polymorphonuclear cells(PMNs)were isolated from heparinized blood by dextran sedimentation,followed by centrifugation through Ficoll-Hypaque.After removing contaminating erythrocytes by hypotonic lysis, the PMNs were resuspended in RPMI1640.Prior to phagocytosis and killing assays,C.albicans strains were opsonized with50%normal human serum at30°C for30min.For phagocytosis assay,0.5ml of opsonized C. albicans cells was incubated with0.5ml of PMNs at a PMN/C.albicans ratio of1:1in1ml RPMI1640at37°C for15min on a shaker.Three drops of the sample were then cytospun and Gram stained.Percent phagocytosis was calculated as the proportion of PMNs containing one or more yeast cells after counting of100PMNs.For the killing assay,opsonized C.albi-cans strains were incubated with106PMNs at a PMN/C.albicans ratio of 50:1in1ml of RPMI1640containing5%human serum at37°C for2h with gentle shaking.After complete lysis of PMNs with sterile water,serial 10-fold dilutions were made and colony counts were enumerated.For mouse macrophage(J774A.1)studies,cells procured from ATCC were generated in a96-well plate(5ϫ105cells/well)by incubation for30min at37°C in5%CO2.Prior to phagocytosis and killing assays,C.albicans strains suspended in modified Eagle’s medium(MEM)were opsonized with5%normal human serum at room temperature for30min.For the phagocytosis assay,200␮l opsonized C.albicans cells was added to wells containing the monolayer(effector/target cell ratio,ϳ10:1)and the cells were incubated for15min at37°C in5%CO2.After incubation,the supernatant was aspirated and washed with prewarmed MEM.Serial10-fold dilutions were made,and colony counts were enumerated.For the killing assay,200␮l MEM-Sabouraud broth(1:1)was added to wells containing monolayers with phagocytosed C.albicans cells,and the plates were incubated for3h at37°C in 5%CO2.The monolayers were scraped,and after complete lysis of macro-phages with sterile water,serial10-fold dilutions were made and colony counts were enumerated.The phagocytosis and killing experiments were per-formed in triplicate and repeated at least twice.The percentage of phagocy-tized C.albicans cells was defined as[1Ϫ(number of uningested CFU/num-ber of CFU at the start of incubation)]ϫ100.The percentage of C.albicans cells killed by the phagocytes was defined as[1Ϫ(number of CFU after incubation in the presence of phagocytes/number of CFU phagocytosed)]ϫ100.Thefungicidalactivitywascalculatedasthepercentsurvivalof C.albicans after2h of incubation with PMNs.Assessment of gene expression in whole blood using whole-genome microarrays.C.albicans Genome Oligo Set v1.1(Qiagen,Valencia,CA)was resuspended at30␮M in ArrayIt Micro Spotting Solution Plus(Telechem,San Jose,CA)and printed on UltraGAPS slides(Corning,Corning,NY)using a Genemachine Omnigrid arrayer(Genomic Instru-mentation Services,San Carlos,CA).Each slide had two replicated arrayswith6,936features,including70-mer oligonucleotides representing5,948predicted open reading frames(ORFs),318cloned genes,and random70-mer controls.Transcriptional profiling experiments in human bloodwere performed as previously described(23).In brief,three biologicalreplicates of C.albicans CAI-12and the⌬irs4mutant were grown tomid-exponential phase in YPD medium at30°C,washed once in0.1MPBS,pH7.0,and resuspended in this buffer at a density of37.5ϫ108cells/ml.After incubation for30min at37°C,100␮l of the suspension wasinoculated into7.5ml of fresh whole human blood from one of the inves-tigators(C.J.C.),which was collected in a heparinized tube.After incuba-tion of the tube with gentle shaking for2h at37°C,cells were harvestedand mixed with1g of425-to600-␮m-diameter glass beads(SigmaChemical Co.,St.Louis,MO).Total RNA was extracted using an RNeasyminikit(Qiagen)and a Mini-BeadBeater(Biospec Products,Bartlesville,OK),and on-column DNase digestion with an RNase-free DNase set(Qiagen)was systematically performed.Twenty to25␮g of total RNA wasused to generate labeled cDNA with a SuperScript indirect cDNA labelingsystem(Invitrogen,Carlsbad,CA).Two cDNAs from different sampleslabeled with different dyes(Cy3and Cy5)were mixed,denatured in3.4ϫSSC(1ϫSSC is0.15M NaCl plus0.015M sodium citrate),0.3%SDS,0.5␮g/␮l salmon sperm DNA,and hybridized overnight(14to16h)to mi-croarray slides.A dye-flip strategy was employed.After washing and dry-ing,the slides were scanned in a GenePix4000B scanner(Axon Instru-ments,Union City,CA).GenePix Pro v3.0software(Axon)was used toextract the spot intensities for bothfluorescent dyes,and data were ar-chived in Microsoft Access software.For individual slides,the thresholdintensity for eachfluorescent channel was established as the average in-tensity of spots corresponding to negative-control70-mers plus1.5timesthe standard deviation.Only intensities higher than the threshold wereconsidered.Replicated spots in each slide had to have a coefficient ofvariation in intensities ofϽ65%.The intensities of the replicated spots ineach slide that passed the criterion were averaged and used for normaliza-tion.We performed a global normalization among all slides so that thetotal slide intensity for each channel was identical among slides and chan-nels.The ratio of the intensity of the⌬irs4mutant to that of strain CAI-12was used for further analysis.We applied significance analysis of microarrays(SAM)to detect dif-ferentially expressed ORFs(24).SAM assigns a score to each gene on thebasis of the change in gene expression relative to the standard deviation ofrepeated measurements.For genes with scores greater than an adjustablethreshold,SAM uses permutations of the repeated measurements to esti-mate the percentage of genes identified by chance,the false discovery rate(FDR).SAM has been shown to be superior to conventional microarrayanalysis based on pairwise fold change methods.Cluster software andTreeview software were used for cluster analysis and display of genome-wide expression data(25).Differentially expressed ORFs were assignedgene names,descriptions,and pathways on the basis of assignments in theCandida Genome Database(/).Gene expression by the strains was confirmed for eight genes by re-verse transcription-PTR(GCA2,ERG16,RNR22,CWH8,SKN1,CHT2,RHO1,and ERK1),using primers designed and synthesized by Invitrogen(see Table S1in the supplemental material).cDNA was synthesized using1␮g total RNA,2.5␮M reverse primers,500␮M deoxynucleosidetriphosphate(dNTP)mix,5mM dithiothreitol,40U RNaseOUT,1ϫfirst-strand buffer,and100U SuperScript III reverse transcriptase(Invit-rogen)at46°C for2h.Amplification was performed for30cycles,whichgave band intensities linearly proportional to the amount of cDNA.Thereaction mixtures included1␮l a1/10dilution of cDNA in0.2mM dNTPmix,1.5mM MgCl2,0.2␮M each primer,1ϫPCR buffer,and1.5UPlatinum Taq DNA polymerase(Invitrogen).Ten microliters of each PCRRaman et al. Infection and Immunity on January 18, 2015 by guest / Downloaded fromproduct was run in a1.5%agarose gel,and the gel was stained with ethidium bromide.Images were digitalized using a transilluminator con-nected to a camera and Quantity One software(Bio-Rad).The software esti-mated the band intensity for each PCR product,which was used to calculate the ratio of⌬irs4mutant expression/CAI-12expression for each ORF.Statistics.For comparisons across groups(see Fig.1,4,and5), ANOVA was used.Pairwise comparisons were then made using a Bonfer-roni adjustment.Otherwise,comparisons were made using t test.All anal-yses were performed using STATA v11software(College Station,TX).P values ofϽ0.05were considered significant.Microarray data accession numbers.Microarray data were deposited in the NCBI GEO database under accession number GSM967204(https: ///geo/query/acc.cgi?accϭGSM967204). RESULTSFitness of⌬irs4mutant in vitro.To distinguish between C.albi-cans strains in competition assays,we designed qPCR primers that targeted specific segments of IRS4and the hisG cassette used for gene disruption.In titration experiments,serial dilutions of yeasts of strain CAI-12,the⌬irs4mutant,or the IRS4reinsertion strain were suspended in sterile saline and spiked into explanted,unin-fected mouse kidneys.Genomic DNA extracted from suspensions and spiked kidneys was used as a template for qPCR assays that established standard curves(see Fig.S1in the supplemental ma-terial).The signals from these reactions were linear over at least7 orders of magnitude for each strain(all R2values wereՆ0.96). The limits of detection in suspension and spiked kidneys were at or near1and10yeast cells,respectively.As we showed previously,growth rates of CAI-12and the⌬irs4 mutant were indistinguishable after the strains were indepen-dently inoculated into YPD or SD medium at30°C(see Fig.S2in the supplemental material).The growth curves for a mixed culture of CAI-12and the⌬irs4mutant were similar to those of the indi-vidual strains.At all time points,qPCR confirmed that the con-centrations of the strains were the same whether they were grown alone or in mixed cultures.Similar results were obtained in SD medium at30°C and at37°C(not shown).In addition,there were no significant differences in the growth curves of the strains through four dilution and regrowth cycles of24h each.The for-mation of hyphae by the strains in liquid medium was compara-ble,consistent with our previous reports(10,11).Relative virulence of the⌬irs4mutant during hematog-enously disseminated candidiasis.To establish our competitive infection model,we infected groups of mice intravenously with CAI-12alone(1ϫ105CFU/mouse),the⌬irs4mutant alone(1ϫ105CFU/mouse),or a1:1mixture of CAI-12and the⌬irs4mutant (0.5ϫ105CFU/strain/mouse).Using conventional methods for enumerating the CFU within the kidneys,we corroborated our earlierfindings for single-strain infections:tissue burdens of the the⌬irs4mutant were diminished compared to those of CAI-12at 4and7days but comparable to those of CAI-12at6h or1day(Fig. 1A).The qPCR method of quantitating genome equivalents(GE) detected absolute candidal burdens during single-strain infections that were approximately1log unit higher than those suggested by the numbers of CFU(Fig.1B).By qPCR,the⌬irs4mutant inoc-ulated alone caused significantly lower tissue burdens than CAI-12at1day,as well as4and7days.At6h,there were still no differences in tissue burdens between mice infected with the⌬irs4 mutant and mice infected with CAI-12.In the competitive model,the tissue burdens of the⌬irs4mu-tant and strain CAI-12at6h and1day,as determined by qPCR,were identical to those observed when the strains were given alone (Fig.1B).At days4and7,however,the tissue burdens of the⌬irs4 mutant in the competitive model were significantly attenuated compared to those from the⌬irs4mutant single-strain infection. The burdens of CAI-12at each time point were identical whether the strain was given alone or with the mutant.Of note,the tissue burdens of an IRS4reinsertion strain were identical to those of CAI-12in both single-strain and competitive infections,indicat-ing that the attenuated virulence of the⌬irs4mutant was a result of gene disruption(see Fig.S3in the supplemental material).Of course,the real power of competitive infection models comes from comparing strains within individual animals,rather than across groups.In these intrahost analyses,results are ex-pressed as the competitive index,which is the ratio of the mutant to a reference ing the competitive index,the⌬irs4mu-tant was significantly attenuated at each time point,including6h, FIG1Recovery of CAI-12and the⌬irs4mutant from mouse kidneys.(A) Tissue burdens for groups of mice were determined by enumerating the CFU.(B)Relative tissue burdens were determined by qPCR measurement of ge-nome equivalents per gram of tissue.In a three-way comparison of the number of CFU of tissue burdens(A)at6h,1day,4days,and7days,P values were0.39, 0.03,0.0001,and0.007,respectively(ANOVA).In a four-way comparison of the number of GE relative to tissue burdens(B)at6h,1day,4days,and7days, P values were0.17,Ͻ0.0001,Ͻ0.0001,andϽ0.0001,respectively(ANOVA). *,PϽ0.001for CAI-12versus the⌬irs4mutant at day4;**,Pϭ0.03for CAI-12versus the⌬irs4mutant at day7;***,PՅ0.001for CAI-12versus the ⌬irs4mutant,in single-strain and mixed infections;****,Pϭ0.01for the⌬irs4 mutant in single-strain infection versus the⌬irs4mutant in mixed infections at day4;*****,PϽ0.001for the⌬irs4mutant in single-strain infection versus the⌬irs4mutant in mixed infections at day7.Mix,tissue burdens(number of CFU)during mixed infections,not distinguishing between strains(A);Mix–CAI-12,relative tissue burdens(GE)of CAI-12during mixed infections;Mix-⌬irs4,relative tissue burdens(GE)of the⌬irs4mutant during mixed infec-tions.Data are means of results for8to10mice per group per time point.Error bars represent standard deviations.Competitive C.albicans Infections in Mice1433 on January 18, 2015 by guest / Downloaded from。

人附睾蛋白4在子宫内膜癌中的研究进展

人附睾蛋白4在子宫内膜癌中的研究进展

人附睾蛋白4在子宫内膜癌中的研究进展人附睾蛋白4(HE4)是近年来发现的新型的血清学标志物,目前在卵巢上皮性癌已经得到广泛应用。

近来研究发现,HE4在子宫内膜癌组织中高表达,国内外学者及机构已经就其高敏感性和特异性作为子宫内膜癌的肿瘤标志物开展研究。

现就HE4在子宫内膜癌中的研究进展、临床意义等做一综述。

标签:人附睾分泌蛋白4;肿瘤标记;子宫内膜癌;诊断;预后子宫内膜癌是发生于子宫内膜的一种上皮性恶性肿瘤,是女性生殖道常见的三大恶性肿瘤之一。

随着人类生活水平的提高、寿命的延长及内分泌代谢疾病的增加,近年来有上升且年轻化趋势。

临床上选取以手术为主的综合治疗方案,而综合治疗方案在一定程度上依赖于准确的FIGO分期。

大多数子宫内膜癌可通过疾病发生发展过程的一些症状如绝经后阴道不规则流血及辅助检测B超检查、诊断性刮宫、宫腔镜甚至核磁共振及肿瘤标志物糖类抗原125等可得到早期诊治,总体治愈率高。

但由于一些检查手段的局限性致误诊或漏诊;术前评估不足致治疗方式不规范,如手术范围不足或过度治疗;术后随访不足致术后复发等原因,患者术后存活率低。

对于子宫内膜癌症的早期诊断、检测复发和监测对治疗的反应,临床上需要更敏感无创的筛查方法或肿瘤学标志物。

目前国内外学者对人附睾分泌蛋白(HE4)进行了很多研究,肯定了它在子宫内膜癌中的诊断价值,尤其是在早期子宫内膜癌的诊断以及预测疾病分期方面。

目前认为在所有的被测肿瘤标志物中HE4与子宫内膜癌的相关性最强[1]。

1 HE4的来源与分子基础HE4最早在1991年由Kirchhoff等[2]发现于附睾上皮组织,为酸性小分子分泌型糖蛋白,是乳清酸蛋白(whey acidic protein,WAP)结构域家族蛋白中的一员。

HE4基因又名WFDC2(WAP four-disulfide core domains 2),位于20q12-q1312,全长11 178 kb,编码124个氨基酸的HE4蛋白前体。

人附睾蛋白4(HE4)对子宫内膜癌和卵巢癌的早期诊断价值

人附睾蛋白4(HE4)对子宫内膜癌和卵巢癌的早期诊断价值

人附睾蛋白4(HE4)对子宫内膜癌和卵巢癌的早期诊断价值【摘要】目的比较血清人附睾分泌蛋白4( HE4)对于卵巢癌和子宫内膜癌患者的诊断价值。

方法实验分为5组:卵巢癌患者、卵巢良性疾病患者、子宫内膜癌患者、子宫内膜良性疾病患者和健康对照者,分别采用ELISA方法和化学发光方法对血清中的H E4水平和CA125水平进行检测。

结果卵巢癌及子宫内膜癌患者血清中HE4和CA125的含量均高于卵巢良性疾病组、子宫良性疾病组和健康对照组( P 0.05);卵巢癌患者HE4的敏感度及特异度与CA125基本一致(p>0.05)。

结论对于子宫内膜癌患者和卵巢癌患者而言,HE4均具有较高的敏感性和特异性,对于疾病的早期诊断具有很大的辅助作用。

【关键词】卵巢癌,子宫内膜癌,HE4,诊断价值子宫内膜癌和卵巢癌是发生于女性生殖器官的肿瘤之一,两者的发病率均较高,目前对于两种疾病的诊断手段在不断发展,免疫学技术的应用也较为普遍,肿瘤标志物CA125对于诊断卵巢癌患者而言应用较为成熟,但是敏感性较低[1];对于子宫内膜癌而言,目前临床上尚没有发现特异性的肿瘤标志物;人附睾蛋白4(HE4)是近年来研究较多的一个肿瘤标志物,因此,本文主要研究HE4 对于卵巢癌和子宫内膜癌患者进行早期诊断的价值。

程序性细胞死亡因子4是替代活化巨噬细胞的新分子标志物

程序性细胞死亡因子4是替代活化巨噬细胞的新分子标志物

程序性细胞死亡因子4是替代活化巨噬细胞的新分子标志物田稼;蒋晓刚;李海燕;钟波;张富军;宁启兰;韩燕;杨旭东【期刊名称】《中国组织工程研究》【年(卷),期】2015(019)051【摘要】背景:程序性细胞死亡因子4的表达水平与经典活化的巨噬细胞的表型负相关,但是程序性细胞死亡因子4的表达水平与巨噬细胞替代活化的关系仍不明确。

目的:观察替代活化的巨噬细胞中程序性细胞死亡因子4的表达水平改变,及其对替代活化的影响。

方法:用白细胞介素4、地塞米松单独刺激或联合刺激诱导NR 8383细胞的替代活化;采用qP CR检测巨噬细胞替代活化的分子标志物的表达水平,确定诱导巨噬细胞替代活化的最适条件;采用qP CR和Western blot检测替代活化的巨噬细胞模型中程序性细胞死亡因子4表达的改变;分别用大鼠程序性细胞死亡因子4高表达质粒和程序性细胞死亡因子4干扰质粒转染NR 8383细胞株,采用荧光倒置显微镜观察转染的效率,并检测程序性细胞死亡因子4的表达水平;分别检测程序性细胞死亡因子4高表达和程序性细胞死亡因子4敲低后NR 8383细胞株中巨噬细胞经典活化和替代活化的分子标志。

结果与结论:(1)白细胞介素4和地塞米松联合刺激比白细胞介素4或地塞米松单独刺激可更有效的诱导巨噬细胞的替代活化;10μg/L白细胞介素4+50 nmol/L地塞米松刺激24 h可有效诱导巨噬细胞的替代活化。

(2)在替代活化的巨噬细胞中程序性细胞死亡因子4的表达水平显著升高,是替代活化的分子标志。

(3)程序性细胞死亡因子4高表达上调替代活化的分子标志的表达(P〈0.05);而敲低程序性细胞死亡因子4可下调CD206的表达(P〈0.05),并显著上调经典活化的分子标志诱导型一氧化氮合酶的表达(P〈0.05)。

结果表明程序性细胞死亡因子4上调是替代活化巨噬细胞的一个重要分子标志物。

人附睾蛋白4检测早期卵巢癌

人附睾蛋白4检测早期卵巢癌

人附睾蛋白4检测早期卵巢癌谷维【期刊名称】《国际妇产科学杂志》【年(卷),期】2015(42)2【摘要】卵巢癌是威胁女性生命健康的三大生殖道恶性肿瘤之一,其年轻化趋势明显且死亡率高居首位,如何提高卵巢癌患者早期检出率是降低该病死亡率的关键.传统卵巢癌标记物——糖类抗原125(CA125)虽然广泛应用于临床,但是敏感度和特异度较低,并且在一些妇科良性疾病中也出现非特异性的升高,因此迫切需要一种高敏感度和特异度的检测指标.近年来颇受瞩目的血清标记物——人附睾蛋白4(HE4)成为了早期诊断卵巢癌的焦点,相比于CA125,HE4在大多数非卵巢恶性肿瘤中不表达或低表达,并且单独检测HE4或联合CA125在对卵巢癌的早期诊断、疗效和预后评价等方面更具优势,现已在国外和国内多家三甲医院推广应用.现对HE4的发现、发展和临床应用及其与CA125构建的卵巢恶性肿瘤发病风险模型(ROMA)作综述.【总页数】4页(P141-144)【作者】谷维【作者单位】201508 上海,复旦大学附属金山医院妇产科【正文语种】中文【相关文献】1.血清人附睾蛋白4和糖类抗原125检测在早期卵巢癌诊断中的应用 [J], 江涛;周芳芳;李军;王昌富2.人附睾蛋白4及 CA125联合检测在卵巢肿瘤中的应用及人附睾蛋白4水平与卵巢肿瘤病理学分型的相关性研究 [J], 白杰3.CA125、HE4、ROMA值联合检测对早期卵巢癌风险的预测价值 [J], 舒琪;王丽萍;岳丽娟4.血清HE4、CA 125、SMRP及外周血TAP联合检测对早期卵巢癌的筛查价值[J], 张新新5.HE4、DJ-1、SMRP联合检测在早期卵巢癌诊断中的应用价值 [J], 李晓莹;齐红燕;叶敏因版权原因,仅展示原文概要,查看原文内容请购买。

迪比特忍着剧痛进行了全面的渠道革命。前天,迪比特 执行副总裁彭新淼宣布,为了保住销售业绩,公司已 经取消区域代理商,并用近5亿元的现金代价从经销商 中购回几十万台手机,改由各省分公司直供各经销商。 但迪比特并不是手机厂商渠道变革第一个,早在去 年,诺基亚就对其渠道实施改革,并借此坐上了中国 手机的“老大”位置。而摩托罗拉、康佳、NEC等手机 厂商也不甘落后,纷纷对销售渠道实施“手术”。这一 切都发生在手机市场将面临着重新洗牌的大背景下, 谁也不愿意渠道拖后腿,而往往渠道就是决定手机厂 商未来生存的一个极为重要的因素
4Channel factors影响分销渠道的因素
案例 美国佩珀饮料公司在80年代初就成为非可乐类饮料 世界排名第一的公司,在整个饮料行业里排名第三。 佩珀公司把浓缩饮料卖给分装厂商,分装厂商将饮料 稀释后装瓶,辅以广告促销,推销给零售商,再由零 售商卖给消费者。佩珀公司与全美500多家分装厂商建 立密切的关系,分装厂商的销售人员与零售商保持密 切联系,制作本地的促销广告,要求零售商把佩珀饮 料放再最显眼的柜台处,经常运用折扣、特殊陈列品、 优惠券和免费样品来促进产品的销售。分装厂商十分 了解当地的市场情况和零售商的需要,帮助佩珀公司 制订各地区的营销方案。尽管这些分装厂商同时也经 销可口可乐和百事可乐,但绝大多数都把佩珀饮料作 为最佳品牌的饮料。
分销渠道的类型 types of marketing channels
所谓销售渠道抑或分销渠道皆是指:产品从生产者到最 终消费者的途径。 A set of interdependent organizations involved in the process of making a product or service available for use or consumption by the consumer or business user. 1、销售渠道的层次 1.1直销 direct channels 没有中间层次的销售 1.2间接销售 indirect channels 中间机构包括:批发商、中转商和零售商。 Producers lose more control and face greater channel complexity as additional channel levels are added.

Hale Waihona Puke •A distribution channel structure in which producers, wholesalers, and retailers act as a unified system One channel member owns the other, has contracts with them, or has so much power that they all cooperate.
• Exclusive distribution
• Severely limited distribution
• Selective distribution
• Some intermediaries willing to carry good are selected
• Intensive distribution
2渠道的作用Work Performed by Channels
Offers the firm more than it can achieve on its own through the intermediaries: •Contacts •Experience •Specialization •Scale of operation
3渠道行为和渠道冲突Channel Behavior and channel conflicts
• The channel will be most effective when: • each member is assigned tasks it can do best. • all members cooperate to attain overall channel goals. • If this does not happen, conflict occurs: • Horizontal Conflict occurs among firms at the same level of the channel (e.g., retailer to retailer). • Vertical Conflict occurs between different levels of the same channel (e.g., wholesaler to retailer). • Some conflict can be healthy competition.
