Successful treatment of hemorrhagic bullous Henoch‐Schonlein purpura with intravenous immunoglobulins

Henoch‐Schonlein purpura (HSP) is the most common systemic vasculitis in childhood. There is no consensus about the management for isolated cutaneous manifestations in HSP. We describe a case of HSP presenting with severe skin lesions that did not respond to standard therapy with corticosteroids. The 11‐year‐old child was treated with intravenous immunoglobulins, which induced rapid and persistent resolution of symptomatology.     

基因间长链非编码RNA152靶向微小RNA?103a?3p对非小细胞肺癌细胞增殖和侵袭迁移的影响

目的探讨基因间长链非编码RNA 152(LINC00152)靶向调控微小RNA-103a-3p(miR-103a-3p)表达及对非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)细胞增殖和侵袭迁移的影响。方法采用实时定量PCR(QPCR)检测正常肺上皮细胞BEAS-2B及NSCLC细胞(ANIP-973、NCI-H157、A549和NCI-H1975)的LINC00152水平。选取LINC00152水平最高的细胞分别转染LINC00152特异性小干扰RNA(si-LINC00152组)或无关序列(si-NC组),另设未转染细胞为对照组。QPCR检测LINC00152水平,活细胞计数CCK-8法、Transwell小室和划痕实验测定细胞增殖、侵袭和迁移能力,Western blotting检测基质金属蛋白酶(MMP)-2、MMP-9和第10号染色体缺失的磷酸酶及张力蛋白同源基因(PTEN)的水平;荧光素酶报告实验验证LINC00152靶向结合miR-103a-3p的能力。结果NSCLC细胞的LINC00152水平均高于BEAS-2B细胞(P<0.05),尤其是NCI-H1975细胞的最高。si-LINC00152组的LINC00152水平为0.352±0.087,低于对照组的1.058±0.219和si-NC组的1.126±0.139(P<0.05)。与si-NC组和对照组相比,si-LINC00152组NCI-H1975细胞转染48、72 h的增殖活力下降(P<0.05);si-LINC00152组的划痕愈合率和穿膜细胞数分别为(27.386±2.428)%和(78.840±5.031)个,低于si-NC组的(77.675±4.803)%和(179.208±13.264)个及对照组的(76.371±5.385)%和(174.003±15.678)个(P<0.05);与si-NC组和对照组相比,si-LINC00152组的MMP-2和MMP-9水平均降低,而PTEN水平升高(P<0.05)。对照组和si-NC组上述指标的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。双荧光素酶报告分析证实,miR-103a-3p模拟物降低了野生型LINC00152的荧光素酶活性(P<0.05),但对突变型无影响(P>0.05)。结论LINC00152在NSCLC细胞中高表达并发挥促癌作用,与NSCLC的迁移侵袭密切相关,LINC00152与miR-103a-3p间的相互作用在NSCLC靶向治疗中有一定潜能。
