为探究Ash2l(absent,small,or homeotic 2-like,Ash2l)对小鼠大脑皮质神经祖细胞(neural progenitor cells,NPCs)的增殖能力和细胞周期的影响。本研究利用NPCs标志物PAX6和TBR2,检测NPCs数量和分布的改变情况。结果显示,Ash2l敲除导致NPCs数量显著减少(P<0.05),且分布紊乱。对E16.5小鼠进行在体30 min EdU标记实验,检测NPCs增殖能力,Ash2l敲除导致30 min EdU几乎无法进入NPCs(P<0.001)。结果表示,NPCs增殖能力受到严重的影响。用细胞周期M期标志物pH3,检测大脑皮质中处于M期的NPCs分布情况,同时提取了E16.5小鼠大脑皮质蛋白质,检测细胞周期蛋白A的表达量。Ash2l敲除的NPCs的M期细胞核分布紊乱,G_(2)期标志蛋白质细胞周期蛋白A表达量减少。利用EdU和BrdU双标记法,计算NPCs的S期长度。Ash2l敲除后的NPCs的S期长度缩短(P<0.05)。因此,Ash2l调控NPCs细胞周期进程,进而影响NPCs的增殖能力,敲除小鼠大脑皮质发育异常。本研究强调了表观遗传调控对胚胎期神经系统发育的重要作用,并对表型进行了深入探索。

Objective To explore circulating biomarkers for screening the invasiveness of non-functioning pituitary adenomas(NF-PAs).Methods The exosomal RNAs were extracted from serum of patients with invasive NF-PA(INF-PA)or noninvasive NF-PA(NNF-PA).Droplet digital PCR was adapted to detect the mRNA expression of candidate genes related to tumor progression or invasion,such as cyclin dependent kinase 6(CDK6),ras homolog family member U(RHOU),and spire type actin nucleation factor 2(SPIRE2).Student’s t-test was used to analyze the statistical difference in the mRNA expression of candidate genes between the two *** operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to establish a model for predicting the invasiveness of *** accuracy,sensitivity,specificity and precision of the model were then obtained to evaluate the diagnostic *** CDK6(0.2600±0.0912 vs.0.1789±0.0628,t=3.431,P=0.0013)and RHOU mRNA expressions(0.2696±0.1118 vs.0.1788±0.0857,t=2.946,P=0.0052)were upregulated in INF-PAs patients’serum exosomes as compared to *** CDK6,the area under the ROC curve(AUC)was 0.772(95%CI:0.600-0.943,P=0.005),the accuracy,sensitivity,specificity and precision were 77.27%,83.33%,75.00%and 55.56%to predict the invasiveness of *** RHOU,the AUC was 0.757(95%CI:0.599-0.915,P=0.007),the accuracy,sensitivity,specificity and precision were 72.73%,83.33%,68.75%and 50.00%.In addition,the mRNA levels of CDK6 and RHOU in serum exosomes were significantly positively correlated(r=0.935,P<0.001).After combination of the cut-off scores of the two genes,the accuracy,sensitivity,specificity and precision were 81.82%,83.33%,81.25%and 62.50%.Conclusions CDK6 and RHOU mRNA in serum exosomes can be used as markers for predicting invasiveness of *** of the two genes performs better in distinguishing INF-PAs from *** results indicate CDK6 and RHOU play important roles in the invasiveness of NF-PAs,and the established diagnostic method is valua
