RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: This study aims to explore Programmed Death Receptor-1 (PD-1) and Programmed Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) variations in Lung Cancer (LC) tissues and Peripheral Blood (PPB) and their association with immunotherapy efficacy and prognosis. METHOD: 72 patients with LC were included in the LC group and 39 patients with concurrent benign lung disease were included in the benign group. PD-1/PDL-1 was compared in PPB and lung tissue. All LC patients were treated with immunotherapy. The relationship between PD-1/PDL-1 in LC tissue and PPB and immunotherapy efficacy was analyzed. Patients were divided into death and survival groups, and PD-1/PDL-1 in tumor tissues and PPB were compared. RESULTS: The authors found that PD-1 and PDL-1 positive expression in lung tissue and PPB in LC patients was elevated. Combined detection of PD-1 and PDL-1 was effective in diagnosing LC and evaluating the prognosis of LC patients. PD-1 and PDL-1 positive expression was reduced after disease remission while elevated in dead patients. The 3-year survival rate of patients with PD-1 positive expression was 45.45 % (25/55), which was lower (82.35 %, 14/17) than those with PD-1 negative expression. The 3-year survival rate of patients with positive and negative expression of PDL-1 was 48.78 % (20/41) and 61.29 % (19/31), respectively. DISCUSSION: The present results demonstrated that PD-1 and PDL-1 are abnormal in cancer tissue and PPB of LC patients. The combined detection of PD-1 and PDL-1 has diagnostic value for LC and evaluation value for the efficacy and prognosis of immunotherapy.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Asthma is a heterogenous disease that characterized by airway remodeling. SYVN1 (Synoviolin 1) acts as an E3 ligase to mediate the suppression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress through ubiquitination and degradation. However, the role of SYVN1 in the pathogenesis of asthma is unclear. RESULTS: In the present study, an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced murine model was used to evaluate the effect of SYVN1 on asthma. An increase in SYVN1 expression was observed in the lungs of mice after OVA induction. Overexpression of SYVN1 attenuated airway inflammation, goblet cell hyperplasia and collagen deposition induced by OVA. The increased ER stress-related proteins and altered epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers were also inhibited by SYVN1 in vivo. Next, TGF-ß1-induced bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B) were used to induce EMT process in vitro. Results showed that TGF-ß1 stimulation downregulated the expression of SYVN1, and SYVN1 overexpression prevented ER stress response and EMT process in TGF-ß1-induced cells. In addition, we identified that SYVN1 bound to SIRT2 and promoted its ubiquitination and degradation. SIRT2 overexpression abrogated the protection of SYVN1 on ER stress and EMT in vitro. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that SYVN1 suppresses ER stress through the ubiquitination and degradation of SIRT2 to block EMT process, thereby protecting against airway remodeling in asthma.

Alanine mother liquor, a type of industrial waste from alanine fermentation, was used as a nitrogen source to produce docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by Schizochytrium sp. B4D1. The results indicated that yeast extract could trigger the utilization of the alanine mother liquor. Additionally, the alanine can be quenched during the culture, which aids in DHA accumulation. The medium components were optimized via response surface methodology as follows: 99.98-g/L glucose, 0.05-g/L yeast extract and a 183.17 dilution factor of the alanine mother liquid (v/v, with an alanine content of 0.72 g/L) and 17.98% inoculum concentration (v/v). Finally, in a 50-mL shake-flask fermentation, the DHA yield was 2.29 g/L.
