question:
Endometrial cancers (ECs) are the most common form of gynecologic malignancy. Recent studies have reported that ECs reveal distinct markers for molecular pathogenesis, which in turn is linked to the various histological types of ECs. To understand further the molecular events contributing to ECs and endometrial tumorigenesis in general, a more precise identification of cancer-associated molecules and signaling networks would be useful for the detection and monitoring of malignancy, improving clinical cancer therapy, and personalization of treatments.', 'ECs-specific gene co-expression networks were constructed by differential expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Important pathways and putative cancer hub genes contribution to tumorigenesis of ECs were identified. An elastic-net regularized classification model was built using the cancer hub gene signatures to predict the phenotypic characteristics of ECs. The 19 cancer hub gene signatures had high predictive power to distinguish among three key principal features of ECs: grade, type, and stage. Intriguingly, these hub gene networks seem to contribute to ECs progression and malignancy via cell-cycle regulation, antigen processing and the citric acid (TCA) cycle.
answer:
Does visual gene-network analysis reveal the cancer gene co-expression in human endometrial cancer?


question:
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is required for B lymphocyte and myeloid cell contributions to pathology in murine models of arthritis. Here, we examined the potential contributions of synovial Btk expression and activation to inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).", 'Btk was detected by immunohistochemistry and digital image analysis in synovial tissue from biologically naive RA (n=16) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) (n=12) patients. Cell populations expressing Btk were identified by immunofluorescent double labelling confocal microscopy, quantitative (q-) PCR and immunoblotting. The effects of a Btk-specific inhibitor, RN486, on gene expression in human macrophages and RA synovial tissue explants (n=8) were assessed by qPCR, ELISA and single-plex assays.', 'Btk was expressed at equivalent levels in RA and PsA synovial tissue, restricted to B lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages and mast cells. RN486 significantly inhibited macrophage IL-6 production induced by Fc receptor and CD40 ligation. RN486 also reduced mRNA expression of overlapping gene sets induced by IgG, CD40 ligand (CD40L) and RA synovial fluid, and significantly suppressed macrophage production of CD40L-induced IL-8, TNF, MMP-1 and MMP-10, LPS-induced MMP-1, MMP-7 and MMP-10 production, and spontaneous production of IL-6, PDGF, CXCL-9 and MMP-1 by RA synovial explants.
answer:
Does btk inhibition suppress agonist-induced human macrophage activation and inflammatory gene expression in RA synovial tissue explants?


question:
The volume of lung tumor core biopsy specimens has been restricted because of concerns for complications such as bleeding and air leakage. In this animal experiment, we investigated the possibility of larger bore biopsies through the peripheral lung parenchyma.', 'Lung biopsy was done in male domestic pigs (n= 4) under thoracotomy. A single biopsy using a 12-gauge cutting biopsy needle was done with sheath (sheath group, eight biopsies) or without sheath (nonsheath group, eight biopsies). After biopsy, bleeding time, bleeding amount, and positive airway pressure causing air leakage from the insertion site was compared between groups (Mann-Whitney U test). To observe long-term effects in closed-chest animals, percutaneous lung biopsy with the use of a sheath was carried out percutaneously in male beagles (n = 9). The animals were observed for 3 weeks.', 'In the pigs (sheath group) after biopsy, bleeding flowed through the sheath and formed a sheath-molded fibrin plug that secured the insertion site. Bleeding time and amount decreased significantly in the sheath group compared with the nonsheath group (115 +/- 108 versus 295 +/- 150 seconds, P = .018, and 37 +/- 41 versus 98 +/- 72 grams, P= .027, respectively). Air leakage pressure was significantly higher in the sheath group compared with the nonsheath group (37 +/- 6 versus 18 +/- 5 cmH2O, P = .001). In the beagles, no complications such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, or airway bleeding was apparent.
answer:

Is lung biopsy with a 12-gauge cutting needle possible using an insertion sheath in animal models?
