    Abstract Objective: Skin basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant skin tumor. Recent studies demonstrated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are implicated in tumorigenesis and may represent potential therapeutic targets. The aim of the present study was to explore the expression profiles of circRNAs and their role in skin BCC.
    Materials and methods: Three pairs of skin BCC tissues and adjacent tissues were used to perform a circRNA microarray for screening of circRNA expression profiles. Circ_NCKAP1 was selected as a target circRNA by RT-qPCR verification and bioinformatics analysis. The effect of circ_NCKAP1 knockdown on cell proliferation and apoptosis was assessed using CCK8 and Annexin V-FITC/PI assays, and its regulation over the miR-148b-5p/HSP90 axis was assessed by dual-luciferase reporter assay.
    Results: Circ_NCKAP1 was found to be significantly upregulated in skin BCC tissues (p<0.05). In vitro loss-of-function assays demonstrated that circ_NCKAP1 knockdown markedly inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis (p<0.05). Moreover, Dual-Luciferase reporter assay identified that circ_NCKAP1 could bind to miR-148b-5p directly, and HSP90 was targeted by miR-148b-5p.
    Conclusions: Circ_NCKAP1 can promote skin BCC progression by sponging the miR-148b-5p/HSP90 axis, and circ_NCKAP1 may be a potential target for skin BCC therapy.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to be a major public health concern. Nucleocapsid (N) protein is the most abundant structural protein on SARS-CoV-2 virions and induces the production of antibodies at the early stage of infection. Large-scale preparation of N protein is essential for the development of immunoassays to detect antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and the control of virus transmission. In this study, expression of water-soluble N protein was achieved through inducing protein expression at 25°C with 0.5 mM IPTG for 12 h. Western blot and ELISA showed that recombinant N protein could be recognized by sera collected from subjects immunized with Sinovac inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Four monoclonal antibodies namely 2B1B1, 4D3A3, 5G1F8, and 7C6F5 were produced using hybridoma technology. Titers of all four monoclonal antibodies in ELISA reached more than 1.28×10 6.0. Moreover, all monoclonal antibodies could react specifically with N protein expressed by transfection of pcDNA3.1-N into BHK-21 cells in IPMA and IFA. These results indicated that water-soluble N protein retained high immunogenicity and possessed the same epitopes as that of native N protein on virions. In addition, the preparation of water-soluble N protein and its monoclonal antibodies laid the basis for the development of immunoassays for COVID-19 detection.

    Abstract Aims: This study evaluates flonicamid biotransformation ability of Aminobacter sp. CGMCC 1.17253 and the enzyme catalytic mechanism involved.
    Methods and results: Flonicamid transformed by resting cells of Aminobacter sp. CGMCC 1.17253 was carried out. Aminobacter sp. CGMCC 1.17253 converts flonicamid into N-(4-trifluoromethylnicotinoyl) glycinamide (TFNG-AM). Aminobacter sp. CGMCC 1.17253 transforms 31·1% of the flonicamid in a 200 mg l
    Conclusions: Aminobacter sp. CGMCC 1.17253 transforms flonicamid into TFNG-AM via hydration pathway mediated by cobalt-containing NHase.
    Significance and impact of the study: This is the first report that bacteria of genus Aminobacter has flonicamid-transforming ability. This study enhances our understanding of flonicamid-degrading mechanism. Aminobacter sp. CGMCC 1.17253 has the potential for bioremediation of flonicamid pollution.

    Abstract Background: Icariin is a major flavonoid isolated from Epimedium spp. leaves (Epimedium Herba), and has multiple pharmacological functions, including anti-angiogenesis, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunoprotective effects.
    Aim: To investigate whether icariin can stimulate growth of hair follicles in mice and the underlying mechanism.
    Methods: In vitro, the effect of icariin on hair growth was assessed by using a vibrissae hair follicle (VHF) organ-culture model. The proliferation of hair matrix keratinocytes and the expression of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 in follicles were examined by double immunostaining for 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine and IGF-1, in the presence or absence of icariin. Dermal papilla cells (DPCs) were cultured and IGF-1 level was measured by reverse transcription-PCR and ELISA after icariin treatment. In vivo, the effect of icariin on hair growth was examined by gavage feeding of icariin to mice whose backs had been depilated, and the conversion of telogen to anagen hair was observed.
    Results: Treatment with icariin promoted hair shaft elongation, prolonged the hair cycle growth phase (anagen) in cultured VHFs, and accelerated transition of hair cycle from telogen to anagen phase in the dorsal skin of mice. There was significant proliferation of matrix keratinocytes and an increased level of IGF-1 in cultured VHFs. Moreover, icariin treatment upregulated IGF-1 mRNA expression in DPCs and increased IGF-1 protein content in the conditioned medium of DPCs.
    Conclusions: These results suggest that icariin can promote mouse hair follicle growth via stimulation of IGF-1 expression in DPCs.

    Abstract Background: In humans, dermal papillae cells (DPCs) are surrounded by basal membranes. However, conventional in vitro culture conditions for DPCs do not include extracellular matrix (ECM).
    Aim: To investigate the effects of different ECM types on the characteristics of cultured human DPCs.
    Methods: Freshly isolated human DPCs were inoculated onto plates precoated with type IV collagen, fibronectin, Matrigel or hyaluronate. Cell migration, growth and viability were measured. Real-time quantitative (q)PCR and western blotting were used to detect the influence of different ECM types on the expression of DPC-specific biomarkers.
    Results: In planar culture, type IV collagen and fibronectin had a beneficial effect on the migration, aggregation and viability of DPCs, in contrast to Matrigel and hyaluronate. Real-time qPCR revealed that significantly increased expression of mRNA was seen only for neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in the Matrigel group, whereas versican, NCAM and α-SMA all decreased significantly in the hyaluronate group. In the type IV collagen and fibronectin groups, mRNA expression of the above genes did not change significantly. Western blotting indicated that there were no significant differences in expression of the above proteins between the four groups and the control group.
    Conclusion: In planar culture, exogenous ECM types (Matrigel, type IV collagen, hyaluronate and fibronectin) changed the growth characteristics of DPCs, but they did not affect the characteristics associated with the biological functions of DPCs.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Cardiac injury is a common condition among hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, and is associated with a higher risk of mortality However, the mechanism of myocardial injury in COVID-19 remains unclear In this retrospective study, we compared the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients with different troponin I (TnI) levels during hospitalization to provide a clinical reference for the identification of those at high-risk METHODS: In total, 218 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Yichang Central People's Hospital and Yichang Third People's Hospital between January 23 and February 19, 2020 were initially included Of these patients, 89 underwent TnI testing during hospitalization and were finally included in the study The medical history, clinical signs and symptoms at the time of admission, and laboratory test results were recorded The patients were assigned to the normal TnI group (TnI 0 01 µg/L;n=22) RESULTS: The incidence of elevated TnI in our patient cohort was 24 7% There were significant differences between the two groups in the following factors: history of coronary heart disease (CHD), age, lymphocyte count, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and levels of interleukin (IL)-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), myoglobin (MYO), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and albumin (all P<0 05) Binary logistic analysis showed that a history of CHD, age, lymphocyte count, IL-6, APTT, and MYO were influencing factors of elevated serum TnI CONCLUSIONS: A history of CHD, advanced age, decreased lymphocyte count, increased IL-6, increased MYO, and prolonged APTT were independent influencing factors of elevated TnI in COVID-19 patients COVID-19 patients with these characteristics are prone to myocardial injury
