1Immunohistochemical expression of SP-NK-1R-EGFR pathway and VDR in colonic inflammation and neoplasia显示文摘AIM:To determine the expression of neurokinin-1receptor(NK-1R),phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor(p EGFR),cyclooxygenase-2(Cox-2),and vitamin D receptor(VDR)in normal,inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),and colorectal neoplasia tissues from Puerto Ricans.METHODS:Tissues from patients with IBD,colitisassociated colorectal cancer(CAC),sporadic dysplasia,and sporadic colorectal cancer(CRC),as well as normal controls,were identified at several centers in Puerto Rico.Archival formalin-fixed,paraffin-embedded tissues were de-identified and processed by immunohistochemistry for NK-1R,p EGFR,Cox-2,and VDR.Pictures of representative areas of each tissues diagnosis were taken and scored by three observers using a4-point scale that assessed intensity of staining.Tissues with CAC were further analyzed by photographing representative areas of IBD and the different grades of dysplasia,in addition to the areas of cancer,within each tissue.Differences in the average age between the five patient groups were assessed with one-way analysis of variance and Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons test.The mean scores for normal tissues and tissues with IBD,dysplasia,CRC,and CAC were calculatedand statistically compared using one-way analysis of variance and Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test.Correlations between protein expression patterns were analyzed with the Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient.Data are presented as mean±SE.RESULTS:On average,patients with IBD were younger(34.60±5.81)than normal(63.20±6.13,P<0.01),sporadic dysplasia(68.80±4.42,P<0.01),sporadic cancer(74.80±4.91,P<0.001),and CAC(57.50±5.11,P<0.05)patients.NK-1R in cancer tissue(sporadic CRC,1.73±0.34;CAC,1.57±0.53)and sporadic dysplasia(2.00±0.45)were higher than in normal tissues(0.73±0.19).p EGFR was significantly increased in sporadic CRC(1.53±0.43)and CAC(2.25±0.47)when compared to normal tissue(0.07±0.25,P<0.05,P<0.001,respectively).Cox-2 was significantly increased in sporadic colorectal cancer(2.20±0.23 vs 0.80±0.37 for normal tissues,P<0.05).In comparison to normal(2.80±0.13)and CAC(2.50±0.33)tissues,VDR was significantly decreased in sporadic dysplasia(0.00±0.00,P<0.001 vs normal,P<0.001 vs CAC)and sporadic CRC(0.47±0.23,P<0.001 vs normal,P<0.001 vs CAC).VDR levels negatively correlated with NK-1R(r=-0.48)and p EGFR(r=-0.56)in normal,IBD,sporadic dysplasia and sporadic CRC tissue,but not in CAC.CONCLUSION:Immunohistochemical NK-1R and p EGFR positivity with VDR negativity can be used to identify areas of sporadic colorectal neoplasia.VDR immunoreactivity can distinguish CAC from sporadic cancer.Raymond A Isidro Myrella L Cruz Angel A Isidro Axel Baez Axel Arroyo William A González-Marqués Carmen González-Keelan Esther A Torres Caroline B Appleyard 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,6:7
2Serum vitamin D and colonic vitamin D receptor in inflammatory bowel disease显示文摘AIM: To determine serum vitamin D levels and colonic vitamin D receptor(VDR) expression in inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) and non-IBD patients and correlate these with histopathology.METHODS: Puerto Rican IBD(n = 10) and non-IBD(n = 10) patients ≥ 21 years old scheduled for colonoscopy were recruited. Each patient completed a questionnaire and provided a serum sample and a colonic biopsy of normal-appearing mucosa. For IBD patients, an additional biopsy was collected from visually diseased mucosa. Serum vitamin D levels were measured by ultra-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Hematoxylin and eosin stained tissue sections from colonic biopsies were classified histologically as normal or colitis(active/inactive), and scored for the degree of inflammation present(0-3, inactive/absent to severe). Tissue sections from colonic biopsies were also stained by immunohistochemistry for VDR, for which representative diagnostic areas were photographed and scored for staining intensity using a 4-point scale.RESULTS: The IBD cohort was significantly younger(40.40 ± 5.27, P < 0.05) than the non-IBD cohort(56.70 ± 1.64) with a higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency(40% vs 20%, respectively) and insufficiency(70% vs 50%, respectively). Histologic inflammation was significantly higher in visually diseased mucosa from IBD patients(1.95 ± 0.25) than in normalappearing mucosa from control patients(0.25 ± 0.08, P < 0.01) and from IBD patients(0.65 ± 0.36, P < 0.05) and correlated inversely with VDR expression in visually diseased colonic tissue from IBD patients(r =-0.44, P < 0.05) and from IBD patients with Crohn's disease(r =-0.69, P < 0.05), but not in normal-appearing colonic tissue from control patients or IBD patients. Control and IBD patient serum vitamin D levels correlated positively with VDR expression in normal colon from control and IBD patients(r = 0.38, P < 0.05) and with patient age(r = 0.54, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Levels of serum vitamin D correlate positively with colonic VDR expression in visually normal mucosa whereas inflammation correlates negatively with colonic VDR expression in visually diseased mucosa in Puerto Rican patients.Yamilka Abreu-Delgado Raymond A Isidro Esther A Torres Alexandra González Myrella L Cruz Angel A Isidro Carmen I González-Keelan Priscilla Medero Caroline B Appleyard 2016World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,13:5
3Hepatitis C eradication with sofosbuvir leads to significant metabolic changes显示文摘AIM To assess the effect of sofosbuvir(SOF) based regimens on glycemic and lipid control.METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of hepatitis C virus(HCV)-infected patients treated and cured with a SOF regimen [SOF/ribavirin/interferon, SOF/simeprevir, or SOF/ledipasvir(LDV) ± ribavirin] from January 2014 to March 2015. Patients with hemoglobin A1C(HbA1C) and lipid panels within six months before and six months after therapy were identified and included in our study. Due to the known hemolytic effect of ribavirin, HbA1C was obtained a minimum of three months post-treatment for the patients treated with a ribavirin regimen. Medical history, demographics, HCV genotype, pre-therapy RNA, and liver biopsies were included in our analysis. The patients who started a new medication or had an adjustment of baseline medical management for hyper-lipidemia or diabetes mellitus(DM) were excluded from our analysis.RESULTS Two hundred and thirty-four patients were reviewed, of which 60 patients met inclusion criteria. Sixty-three point three percent were male, 26.7% were Caucasian, 41.7% were African American and 91.7% were infected with hepatitis C genotype 1. Mean age was 60.6 ± 6.7 years. Thirty-nine patients had HbA1C checked before and after treatment, of which 22 had the diagnosis of DM type 2. HbA1C significantly decreased with treatment of HCV(pretreatment 6.66% ± 0.95% vs posttreatment 6.14% ± 0.65%, P < 0.005). Those treated with SOF/LDV had a lower HbA1C response than those treated with other regimens(0.26% ± 0.53% vs 0.71% ± 0.83%, P = 0.070). Fifty-two patients had pre- and post-treatment lipid panels; there was a significant increase in low-density lipoprotein(LDL) and total cholesterol(TC) after treatment(LDL: 99.5 ± 28.9 mg/dL vs 128.3 ± 34.9 mg/dL, P < 0.001; TC: 171.6 ± 32.5 mg/dL vs 199.7 ± 40.0 mg/dL, P < 0.001). Pretreatment body-mass index(BMI) did not differ from post-treatment BMI(P = 0.684). CONCLUSION Eradication of HCV with a SOF regimen resulted in a significant drop in HbA1C and an increase in LDL and TC post therapy.Amilcar L Morales Zachary Junga Manish B Singla Maria Sjogren Dawn Torres 2016World Journal of Hepatology2016,8,35:2
