Moreover, CS-PEG-LK13 behaves comparable capability of combating an implanted P. aeruginosa biofilm to highly excess tobramycin. This work has implications for the design of new antibacterial agents in biofilm combating.To improve personalized diagnosis and prognosis for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) by identification of hub methylated-CpG sites and associated genes, weighted gene comethylation network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to examine and identify hub modules and CpG sites correlated with OSCC. Here, WGCNA modeling yielded blue and brown comethylation modules that were significantly associated with OSCC status. Following screening of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from gene expression microarrays and differentially methylated-CpG sites (DCGs), integrated multiomics analysis of the DEGs, DCGs, and hub CpG sites from the modules was performed to investigate their correlations. Expression levels of 16 CpG sites-associated genes were negatively correlated with methylation patterns of promoter. Moreover, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of the hub CpG sites and associated genes was carried out using 2 public databases, MethSurv and GEPIA. Only 5 genes, ACTA1, ACTN2, OSR1, SYNGR1, and ZNF677, had significant overall survival using GEPIA. Hypermethylated-CpG sites ACTN2-cg21376883 and OSR1-cg06509239 were found to be associated with poor survival by MethSurv. Methylation status of specific site and expression levels of associated genes were determined using clinical samples by quantitative methylation-specific PCR and real-time PCR. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that methylation levels of cg06509239 and cg18335068 were negatively related to OSR1 and ZNF677 expression levels, respectively. Our classification schema using multiomics analysis represents a screening framework for identification of hub CpG sites and associated genes. © 2020 The Authors.

Oncogenic FLT3 ITD is partially retained in compartments of the biosynthetic route and aberrantly activates STAT5, thereby promoting cellular transformation. The pool of FLT3 ITD molecules in the plasma membrane efficiently activates RAS and AKT, which is likewise essential for cell transformation. Little is known about features and mechanisms of FLT3 ligand (FL)-dependent internalization of surface-bound FLT3 or FLT3 ITD. We have addressed this issue by internalization experiments using human RS4-11 and MV4-11 cells with endogenous wild-type FLT3 or FLT3 ITD expression, respectively, and surface biotinylation. Further, FLT3 wild-type, or FLT3 ITD-GFP hybrid proteins were stably expressed and characterized in 32D cells, and internalization and stability were assessed by flow cytometry, imaging flow cytometry, and immunoblotting. FL-stimulated surface-exposed FLT3 WT or FLT3 ITD protein showed similar endocytosis and degradation characteristics. Kinase inactivation by mutation or FLT3 inhibitor treatment strongly promoted FLT3 ITD surface localization, and attenuated but did not abrogate FL-induced internalization. Experiments with the dynamin inhibitor dynasore suggest that active FLT3 as well as FLT3 ITD is largely endocytosed via clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Internalization of kinase-inactivated molecules occurred through a different yet unidentified mechanism. Our data demonstrate that FLT3 WT and constitutively active FLT3 ITD receptor follow, despite very different biogenesis kinetics, similar internalization and degradation routes. © 2020 The Authors.

Structured exercise programmes applied during acute hospitalization can prevent muscle function deterioration. METHODS A single-blind randomized clinical trial conducted in an acute care for elders unit in a tertiary public hospital in Navarre (Spain). Three hundred seventy hospitalized patients [56.5% female patients; mean age (standard deviation) 87.3 (4.9) years] were randomly allocated to an exercise intervention (n = 185) or a control (n = 185) group (usual care). The intervention consisted of a multicomponent exercise training programme performed during 5-7 consecutive days (2 sessions/day). The usual-care group received habitual hospital care, which included physical rehabilitation when needed. The main endpoints were change in maximal dynamic strength (i.e. leg-press, chest-press, and knee extension exeicant benefits were also observed in the exercise group for the muscle power output at submaximal loads (i.e. 30% 1RM, 45% 1RM, 60% 1RM, and 75% 1RM; all P  less then  0.001) over usual-care group. CONCLUSIONS An individualized, multicomponent exercise training programme, with special emphasis on muscle power training, proved to be an effective therapy for improving muscle power output of lower limbs at submaximal loads and maximal muscle strength in older patients during acute hospitalization. © 2020 The Authors.

SLC34A3 is the cause gene of hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria, and heterozygous carriers may have milder clinical symptoms. The aim of this study was to identify the underlying genetic cause of a patient who initially presented with renal failure, hypercalciuria, kidney stone, and bilateral sensorineural deafness. METHODS A 6-year-old boy with complex clinical presentations was investigated. Comprehensive medical evaluations were performed including auditory function tests, endocrine function tests, metabolic studies, and imaging examinations. Molecular diagnoses were analyzed by trio whole-exome sequencing. RESULTS One novel de novo deleterious variant (c. 324del) of the GATA3 gene was identified in the patient. The patient can be diagnosed with Barakat syndrome. In addition, one novel variant (c. 589A>G) of the SLC34A3 gene was detected, which was inherited from the father.
