    Abstract Objective: To assess the expression levels of Fyn in human tissue samples and pancreatic cancer cells and explore the potential mechanisms of Fyn in pancreatic cancer progression.
    Materials and methods: Quantitative PCR and immunohistochemical (IHC) assays were performed to detect the expression of Fyn in 30 cancer tissue samples from pancreatic cancer patients and corresponding adjacent normal tissues. In addition, the potential correlations between Fyn expression levels and clinical pathological features were assessed. We further detected the effects of Fyn on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of the pancreatic cancer cells through colony formation assay, flow cytometry (FCM) assay, wound healing assay, and transwell assay, respectively. The potential effects of Fyn on tumor growth were assessed using an animal model.
    Results: We demonstrated the possible involvement of Fyn in the progression of pancreatic cancer. We found that Fyn was upregulated in human pancreatic cancer tissues and cells, and we analyzed the correlations between Fyn expression and the clinicopathological features, including metastasis staging (p=0.010*) and tumor size (p=0.025*) of patients with pancreatic cancer. Our data further confirmed that Fyn affects cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells via the phosphorylation of GluN2b and regulation of AKT signaling pathway. We also demonstrated that Fyn promoted tumor growth of pancreatic cancer cells in vivo.
    Conclusions: We investigated the potential involvement of Fyn in the progression of pancreatic cancer, and therefore indicated Fyn as a possible therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.

    Abstract Currently, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are of growing interest as potential substitutes for antibiotic growth promoters in animal production. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of bioengineering artificial Parasin I protein (API) and artificial plectasin protein (APL) (named as compound bioengineering protein, CBP) on growth performance and intestinal health of broilers. A total of 450 one-day-old Arbor Acres male healthy broilers were randomly allotted to 5 dietary groups with 10 replicates of 9 individuals in each replicate and supplemented with 0, 250, 500, 750, and 1,000 mg/kg CBP for 6 wk. Dietary CBP supplementation increased (P < 0.01) body weight (6 wk), average daily gain (0-6 wk), and average daily feed intake (3-6 wk and 0-6 wk). CBP addition enhanced antioxidant capacity, which was accompanied by the higher (P < 0.05) activity of serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) (750 mg/kg), jejunal glutathione peroxidase (750 mg/kg), and T-AOC (500 and 1,000 mg/kg). Dietary CBP addition improved intestinal health, reflecting by the increased (P < 0.05) villus height to crypt depth ratio in the duodenum, the upregulated (P < 0.01) mRNA levels of claudin-1 (500 and 750 mg/kg) in the ileum, the downregulated (P < 0.01) mRNA expression of occludin (500 mg/kg) in the duodenum and claudin-1 (500 mg/kg) and occludin (500 and 750 mg/kg) in the jejunum, and the upregulated mRNA expression of (P < 0.01) mucin2 (MUC2) (1,000 mg/kg) in the duodenum. In addition, CBP upregulated (P < 0.01) IL-10 (1,000 mg/kg) in duodenum and ileum, and downregulated (P < 0.05) the mRNA expression of IL-6 (750 and 1,000 mg/kg), interferon-γ (1,000 mg/kg) in the jejunum and TNF-α (250 mg/kg) in the ileum. Furthermore, dietary CBP increased (P < 0.01) the abundance of total bacteria and Lactobacillus (500 and 750 mg/kg), and reduced (P < 0.05) the abundance of Escherichia coli (750 mg/kg) in the cecum. In conclusion, CBP supplementation enhances the antioxidant capacity, intestinal health, immune function, and ameliorates the gut microflora population, thus improving the growth performance of broilers. Dietary supplementation of 750 mg/kg CBP exhibits a better beneficial effect.

    Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementing hydroxy selenomethionine (OH-SeMet) on performance, selenium (Se) deposition in the breast muscle, quality and oxidative stability, and expression of selenoprotein encoding genes of breast meat of the native slow-growing yellow-feathered broiler birds. A total of 375 one-day-old local yellow male birds were randomly assigned into 5 dietary treatments, supplemented with Se 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mg/kg in the form of OH-SeMet. Each treatment consisted of 5 replicates and each replicate had 15 birds, the birds were fed on basal diet containing corn and soybean meal, and the experiment lasted for 63 d. The results showed that dietary Se supplementation linearly increased (P < 0.001) Se contents in both serum and muscle, no significant changes (P > 0.05) were observed on growth performance, yield of breast, meat color, and intramuscular fat deposition of the breast muscle. Dietary Se addition improved water-holding capacity, the pH₂₄ₕ value, and tenderness of breast muscle, evidenced by a linear decreases of shear force (P < 0.05), accompanied by lower thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and higher glutathione reductase activity. The mRNA abundance of selenoprotein encoding genes also responded to dietary Se levels. It is concluded that, dietary supplementation with OH-SeMet improved muscular Se deposition and meat quality of the native yellow birds, with enhanced antioxidant capability and regulation in selenogenome.

    Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth leading cause of gynecological malignancies worldwide. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-mediated chemotherapy is the adjuvant treatment for patients with GC following surgical resection. Many studies have indicated the cancer-type specific roles of forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1) and keratin 7 (KRT7) in human malignancies. However, the potential mechanism underlying the involvement of FOXA1 and KRT7 in the pathogenesis and chemoresistance of GC are still not entirely clear. In our study, gain- and loss-of-function experiments proved that FOXA1 promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion in AGS and SGC-7901 cells. Consequently, KRT7 was identified to be transcriptional activated by FOXA1 using Dual luciferase reporter assay. Our results also indicated that FOXA1 exerted its functions in enhancing viability and invasion of AGS and SGC-7901 cells through activating KRT7. Finally, interference of FOXA1 or KRT7 increased the chemosensitivity of AGS and SGC-7901 cells to 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) treatment by suppressing cell proliferation. In conclusion, these data indicate that FOXA1 promoted proliferation, migration, invasion, and decreased chemosensitivity of GC cells to 5-Fu treatment through transcriptional activator KRT7. The present study provides a novel therapeutic strategy for the enhancement of efficacy in GC treatment and provides important insights into the molecular mechanism underlying 5-FU-mediated chemoresistance.

    Abstract Objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of supplementing rumen-protected methionine (RP-Met), threonine (RP-Thr), isoleucine (RP-Ile), and leucine (RP-Leu) individually or jointly to a low-protein diet, on the performance of lactating dairy cows, as well as to determine the effects of these amino acids (AA) on the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in vivo. Ten lactating Holstein cows were randomly allocated to a repeated 5 × 5 Latin square experiment with five 19-d periods. Treatments were high-protein diet (16% crude protein, positive control; HP), low-protein diet (12% crude protein, negative control; LP), LP plus RP-Met (LPM), LP plus RP-Met and RP-Thr (LPMT), and LP plus RP-Met, RP-Thr, RP-Ile, and RP-Leu (LPMTIL). The dry matter intakes (DMI) of the LP, LPM, and LPMT diets were lower than that of the HP diet, whereas the DMI of the LPMTIL diet was intermediate between the HP diet and the other LP diets. Supplementing RP-Met to the LP diet increased the yields of milk and milk protein, increased the content of milk urea N, and tended to increase milk N efficiency. Co-supplementation of RP-Thr with RP-Met resulted in no further milk production increase. Co-supplementation of all 4 rumen-protected amino acids (RP-AA) increased milk and lactose yields to the level of the HP diet and tended to increase milk protein yield compared with the LPMT diet. We found no significant differences in the contents and yields of milk components between the LPMTIL and HP diets except for a lower milk urea N content in the LPMTIL diet. Venous concentrations of the measured AA were similar across the LP and LP diets supplemented with RP-AA. Relative to levels of the HP diet, LP diets had higher venous concentrations of Met and Gly and tended to have higher Phe concentration and lower concentrations of Val and BCAA. The LPMTIL diet had higher venous concentrations of Arg, Lys, Met, Phe, and Glu, and a lower Val concentration. Phosphorylation status of the measured mTOR components in LPM and LPMT treatments were similar to those in the LP treatment but phosphorylation status of mTOR and eIF4E-binding protein 1 (4eBP1) in LPMTIL treatment were higher. The phosphorylation rates of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) in the 4 LP and LP plus RP-AA diets were higher than that of the HP diet. Overall, results of the present study supported the concept that under the relatively short time of this experiment, supplementing RP-AA, which are believed to stimulate the mTOR signal pathway, can lead to increased milk protein yield. This increase appears to be due to increased DMI, greater mTOR signaling, and greater eEF2 activity.
