    Abstract Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) contributes to cancer metastasis in several cancers, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)-the most lethal form that lacks effective therapy. Although several efforts have been invested to develop selective HDAC6 inhibitors, none have been approved by the FDA. Toward this goal, existing computational studies used smaller compound libraries and shorter MD simulations. Here, we conducted a structure-based virtual screening of ZINC "Druglike" library containing 17,900,742 compounds using a Glide virtual screening protocol comprising various filters with increasing accuracy. The top 20 hits were subjected to molecular dynamics simulation, MM-GBSA binding energy calculations, and further ADMET prediction. Furthermore, enzyme inhibition assay and cell viability assay were performed on six available compounds from the identified hits. C4 (ZINC000077541942) with a good profile of predicted drug properties was found to inhibit HDAC6 (IC50: 4.7 ± 11.6 μM) with comparative affinity to that of the known HDAC6 selective inhibitor Tubacin (TA) in our experiments. C4 also demonstrated cytotoxic effects against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line MDA-MB-231 with EC50 of 40.6 ± 12.7 μM comparable to that of TA (2-20 μM). Therefore, this compound, with pharmacophore features comprising a non-hydroxamic acid zinc-binding group, heteroaromatic linker, and cap group, is proposed as a novel HDAC6 inhibitor.

    Abstract In recent years, there have been major breakthroughs in immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer. However, different patients have different responses to immunotherapy. Numerous studies have shown that the accumulation of epigenetic abnormalities, such as DNA methylation, serve an important role in the immune response of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). To investigate the effects of DNA methylation on tumor immunity with survival and prognosis, relevant studies can be performed based on the regulatory mechanisms of RNA molecules. For example, long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which regulate gene expression through epigenetic levels. By constructing an immune-associated competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network, the present study identified the regulatory associations among 3 key immune‑associations mRNAs, 2 microRNAs (miRs) and 29 lncRNAs that were closely associated with the prognosis of patients with LUAD. The molecular biology analysis indicated that hypomethylation of the 1101320‑1104290 regions of chromosome 1 resulted in the low expression levels of LINC00337 and that LINC00337 may affect the expression levels of CHEK1 by competitively binding with human (has)‑miR‑373 and hsa‑miR‑195. Therefore, abnormal DNA methylation in lncRNA‑associated regions caused their abnormal expression levels, which further affected the interactions between RNA molecules. The interactions between these RNA molecules may have regulatory effects on tumor immunity and the prognosis of patients with LUAD.

    Abstract Research shows that late mild cognitive impairment (LMCI) has a high risk of turning into Alzheimer's disease (AD). Due to the invasion of detection methods and physical damage to the patients, it is not a convenient way to diagnose and detect early AD and LMCI by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) data. So there is an urgent need to find the correlation between peripheral biological data and CSF data in the brain, and to find new diagnostic methods through changes in the peripheral biological data. Studies have shown that during the pathogenesis of LMCI and AD, peripheral immune cells specifically infiltrate into the brain through the blood-brain barrier, causing an imbalance in the brain's immune response and dysregulating the clearance of Aβ in CSF. Therefore, in this paper, canonical correlation analysis (CCA) algorithm is presented to derive the correlation between peripheral and CSF biomarkers based on LMCI peripheral gene expression data and plasma marker information. Firstly, to explore the influence of the infiltration of peripheral blood immune cells on the brain, the abundance of 28 immune cells were calculated by using the gene set enrichment analysis algorithm of LMCI samples. Then, to identify the correlation between biomarkers inside and outside of the brain, we performed CCA to calculate the relationship between CSF and peripheral biomarkers. Results of CCA showed significant correlations between the variable sets of 8 peripheral biomarkers and the variable sets of CSF biomarkers (at 0.794). Finally, according to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Gene Ontology analysis, it was found that the obtained peripheral biomarkers are involved in many immune-related pathways and functions which can be activated in peripheral blood of LMCI patients. Most related genes enriched in immune-related pathways and functions were up-regulated. Through receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, it was also found that FP40/FP42 and type 1 T helper can accurately predict the pathological changes of LMCI (at 0.747).

    Abstract In accordance with the principle that the cube graph can be obtained by superimposing planes, a multiple-image encryption scheme based on hyperchaotic map and 3D cube is designed in this paper. Multiple images are segmented by columns, and a regular cube is obtained by stacking multiple fixed-size planes. Each stacked plane is considered as a stacked plane of the cube along the z-axis direction. Firstly, each tangent plane is rotated by different angles in the counterclockwise direction and then DNA encoded, followed by face swap, row swap, and column swap in turn. Then, the DNA-encoded image cube is subjected to DNA addition with the chaotic cube. Finally, two DNA sequences are randomly selected for DNA mutation. The mutated cube is decoded into a digital cube by DNA and the multiple-image encryption algorithm is completed. Theoretically, the cube used in the encryption process can be infinitely large, which means that the number and the size of 2D images that can be encrypted can be unrestricted. Experimental simulations and performance tests prove that the proposed image encryption scheme is effective and secure.

    Abstract Microenvironment-driven tumor heterogeneity causes the limitation of immunotherapy of sarcomas. Nonetheless, systematical studies of various molecular levels can enhance the understanding of tumor microenvironment (TME) related to prognosis and provide novel insights of precision immunotherapy. Three prognostic-related TME phenotypes were identified by consensus clustering of the relative infiltration of 22 immune cells from 869 samples of sarcomas. Additionally, integrative immunogenomic analysis is applied to explore the characteristics of different TME groups. The results revealed that most of the immune cell infiltration is higher in the better prognostic group, which are more affected by lower DNA methylation levels and fewer copy number variations in the worse prognostic group. The signaling pathway crosstalk analysis suggested that the changes in the TME will cause considerable variation in the flow of information between pathways, especially when the degree of relative infiltration of immune cells is low, patient's endocrine system may also be significantly affected. Also, the endogenous competitive network analysis indicated that several differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with the prognosis or tumor recurrence of sarcoma patients affected the regulatory relationship between miRNAs and different genes when the sarcoma microenvironment changes. In summary, the significant relationship between genetic alterations and prognostic-related TME characteristics in sarcomas were determined in this study. These findings may provide new clues for the treatment of sarcomas.

    Abstract Background: In patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA), the use of dexamethasone (DEX) may cause perioperative blood glucose (BG) disorders, leading to complications even in patients who do not have diabetes. We aimed to evaluate the effects of different DEX doses on perioperative BG levels.
    Methods: A total of 135 patients who do not have diabetes were randomized into three groups: preoperative intravenous injection of normal saline (Group A, the placebo group), preoperative intravenous injection of 10 mg DEX (Group B), and preoperative intravenous injection of 20 mg DEX (Group C). Postoperative fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels were designated as the primary outcome, while postoperative postprandial blood glucose (PBG) levels were assigned as the secondary outcome. The incidence of complications was recorded. We also investigated the risk factors for FBG ≥ 140 mg/dl and PBG ≥ 180 mg/dl.
    Results: The FBG levels were higher in Groups B and C than in Group A on postoperative days (POD) 0 and 1. The PBG levels were lower for Groups A and B compared to Group C on POD 1. No differences in FBG or PBG were detected beyond POD 1. Elevated preoperative glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels increased the risk of FBG ≥ 140 mg/dl and PBG ≥ 180 mg/dl, respectively. However, preoperative intravenous injection of DEX was not associated with FBG ≥ 140 mg/dl or PBG ≥ 180 mg/dl. No differences were found in postoperative complications among the three groups.
    Conclusion: The preoperative intravenous administration of 10 or 20 mg DEX in patients who do not have diabetes showed transient effects on postoperative BG after TJA. The preoperative HbA1c level threshold (regardless of the administration or dosage of DEX) that increased the risk for the occurrence of FBG ≥ 140 mg/dl and PBG ≥ 180 mg/dl was 5.75% and 5.85%, respectively.

    Abstract Recent theoretical and experimental studies indicate that long-chain noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are essential for the growth and differentiation of cells and the occurrence and development of tumors in epigenetics, but the regulation of lncRNA on gene expression, transcriptional activation, and transcriptional interference in diseases is still unclear. There is an urgent need for effective methods to discover significant lncRNAs with their functions on gene regulatory mechanisms. For this purpose, a new method of extracting significant lncRNA based on pathway crosstalk and dysfunction caused by the differentially expressed genes in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) was proposed. The pathway analysis method based on global influence (PAGI) was first applied to find the feature genes that play an important role in the crosstalks of disease-related pathways. Then to explore the hub lncRNAs, the weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to construct coexpression models of the feature genes and lncRNAs. The experiment results showed that 64 out of the 322 hub lncRNAs were closely related to the clinical features of patients with LUAD. Among them, nine lncRNAs (UCA1, LINC00857, PVT1, PCAT6, LINC00460, LINC00319, AP000553.1, AP000439.2, and AP005233.2) were identified to be tightly correlated with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) pathways. In summary, we offer an effective way to extract significant lncRNA by dysfunctional pathway crosstalk in LUAD which allows the selected lncRNAs with more biologically interpreted and reproducible results. This method can be applied to other diseases and provide useful information for understanding the pathogenesis of human cancer.

    Abstract The focus of modern biomedical research concentrates on molecular level regulatory mechanisms and how the normal and abnormal phenotypes of tissue functional are affected by regulatory mechanisms. Most of the research on regulatory mechanism starts from the reconstruction of gene regulation network. At present, a large number of reconstruction methods construct the network using a single data set. These methods of inferring and predicting the relationship between the target gene and the transcription factor (TF) can be used to identify individual interactions between genes, while there is not much research on the interaction of many functional-related genes. In this paper, an integrated approach based on multi-data fusion is used to reconstruct the network on Alzheimer's disease (AD) which is the most common form of dementia. It not only considers the interaction between many functional-related genes and the TFs that have important implications for regulatory mechanisms, but also detects new genes associated with specific gene function expression. Protein interaction data, motif data and gene expression data of AD were integrated to gain insight into the underlying biological processes of AD. This method takes into account the TF on the target gene regulation, at the same time also considers co-expression mechanism of the TF and co-regulatory mechanism of the target gene. Eventually, not only a number of genes such as E2F4 and ATF1 related to the pathogenesis of AD have been identified, but also several significant biological processes, such as immunoregulation and neurogenesis, have been found to be associated with AD.
