  • 简介:AbstractBackground:Investigations of the pathogenic mechanisms in motor neurons (MNs) derived from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) disease-specific induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell lines could improve understanding of the issues affecting MNs. Therefore, in this study we explored mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) protein expression in MNs derived from the iPS cell lines of ALS patients carrying different SOD1 mutations.Methods:We generated induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from two familial ALS (FALS) patients with SOD1-V14M and SOD1-C111Y mutations, and then differentiated them into MNs. We investigated levels of the SOD1 protein in iPSCs and MNs, the intracellular Ca2+ levels in MNs, and the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the process of differentiation into the MNs derived from the controls and ALS patients’ iPSCs.Results:The iPSCs from the two FALS patients were capable of differentiation into MNs carrying different SOD1 mutations and differentially expressed MN markers. We detected high SOD1 protein expression and high intracellular calcium levels in both the MN and iPSCs that were derived from the two SOD1 mutant patients. However, at no time did we observe stronger LDH activity in the patient lines compared with the control lines.Conclusions:MNs derived from patient-specific iPSC lines can recapitulate key aspects of ALS pathogenesis, providing a cell-based disease model to further elucidate disease pathogenesis and explore gene repair coupled with cell-replacement therapy. Incremental mutant expressions of SOD1 in MNs may have disrupted MN function, either causing or contributing to the intracellular calcium disturbances, which could lead to the occurrence and development of the disease.

  • 简介:AbstractFecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been used as a core therapy for treating dysbiosis-related diseases by remodeling gut microbiota. The methodology and technology for improving FMT are stepping forward, mainly including washed microbiota transplantation (WMT), colonic transendoscopic enteral tubing (TET) for microbiota delivery, and purified Firmicutes spores from fecal matter. To improve the understanding of the clinical applications of FMT, we performed a systematic literature review on FMT published from 2011 to 2021. Here, we provided an overview of the reported clinical benefits of FMT, the methodology of processing FMT, the strategy of using FMT, and the regulations on FMT from a global perspective. A total of 782 studies were included for the final analysis. The present review profiled the effectiveness from all clinical FMT uses in 85 specific diseases as eight categories, including infections, gut diseases, microbiota–gut–liver axis, microbiota–gut–brain axis, metabolic diseases, oncology, hematological diseases, and other diseases. Although many further controlled trials will be needed, the dramatic increasing reports have shown the promising future of FMT for dysbiosis-related diseases in the gut or beyond the gut.

  • 简介:AbstractIntroduction:Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive cutaneous malignancy, and its pathogenesis might relate to ultraviolet light and Merkel cell polyomavirus infection. MCC in the Chinese population is uncommon.Here, we present a case of MCC that occurred based on widespread actinic keratosis (AK) in a Chinese female.Case report:An 82-year-old woman presented with two rapidly enlarging and rupture lesions on the face for 1 year. Biopsy was suggestive of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on the forehead and MCC on the left cheek. The patient had a history of generalized AK for 3 years. The lesion on the left cheek was also revealed as an AK by histopathological examination 1 year ago. Complete surgical resection was performed to remove the two malignancies.Discussion:The co-occurrence of AK, SCC, and MCC in a Chinese woman is unusual. Immunohistopathological examination is vital for correct diagnosis. The three tumors, in this case, may originate from two different precursor cells and are affected by the same carcinogen. Alternatively, they may come from the same pluripotent epidermal stem cells, and chronic exposure to ultraviolet light and Merkel cell polyomavirus lead to the formation of different types of tumors. The coexist of MCC with other cutaneous tumors provided a train of thought for exploring the origin of MCC.Conclusion:We reported a rare co-existence phenomenon of MCC associated with AK and SCC. Hence, long-term follow-up and early treatment are imperative for patients with premalignant lesions, such as widespread AK.
