Objective This study aimed to analyze the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer in tumor registration areas of Yunnan province in 2020,as well as the trend of incidence and mortality from 2012 to 2020,in order to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer in Yunnan province. Methods The data of cervical cancer incidence and mortality were collected and sorted out in tumor registration areas of Yunnan province from 2012 to 2020.The crude incidence,crude mortality,age-standardized incidence rate by World standard population(ASIRW)(referred to the World standard incidence),age-standardized mortality rate by World standard population(ASMRW)(referred to the World standard mortality)and other indicators of cervical cancer in 2020 were statistically analyzed according to the urban and rural areas.The annual percent change(APC)was used to evaluate the changing trend of cervical cancer incidence and mortality from 2012 to 2020,and the GM(1,1)model was used to predict the crude incidence and ASIRW from 2021 to 2025. Results In 2020,there were 2 426 new cases of cervical cancer in tumor registration area of Yunnan province,ranking fifth in the incidence of female malignant tumors.The crude incidence and ASIRW were 15.83/100,000 and 11.16/100,000,respectively.There were 831 deaths from cervical cancer,ranking sixth deaths of female malignant tumors.The crude mortality and ASMRW were 5.42/100,000 and 3.52/100,000,respectively.ASIRW was higher in rural areas(11.86/100,000)than that in urban areas(9.11/100,000).ASMRW was slightly higher in urban areas(3.63/100,000)than that in rural areas(3.48/100,000).The age-specific incidence of cervical cancer increased rapidly after the age of 20,and reached a peak in the 55-59 age group;The age-specific mortality of cervical cancer increased rapidly after the age of 35,reaching a peak in the 75-79 age group.ASIRW of cervical cancer in Yunnan province from 2012 to 2020 showed a downward trend with annual changes(APC=-7.54%,95% CI:-13.19%-1.53%),and the trend change was statistically significant(P<0.05).The prediction of the GM(1,1)model showed that the crude incidence and ASIRW of cervical cancer in Yunnan province would continue to decline from 2021 to 2025. Conclusion The incidence and mortality of cervical cancer are relatively low in Yunnan province,but it is still a common malignant tumor in women.The incidence of cervical cancer in Yunnan province is showing a trend of becoming younger,and rural women are the key population for prevention and treatment.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of circ_0008043 regulating glycolysis of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cells. Methods The expression of circ_0008043,miR-198 and SLC2A1 in clinical samples and HCC cell lines was detected by qPCR,and the targeted binding of circ_0008043 to miR-198 and miR-198 to SLC2A1 was verified by dual luciferase reporting assay.HCC cells were transfected with sh-circ_0008043/sh-NC,miR-198 inhibitor/miR-198 inhibitor-NC,miR-198 mimic/mimic NC,or pcDNA3.1-SLC2A1/pcDNA3.1-NC to detected the effects of circ_0008043,miR-198 and SLC2A1 on the glycolysis of HCC cells.The effect of circ_0008043 on tumor growth in HCC was verified by HCC cell xenografts through a nude mouse model. Results circ_0008043 was highly expressed in both HCC tissues and cell lines(P<0.01).Silencing circ_0008043 could inhibit the glycolysis of HCC cells.The expression of miR-198 was decreased in HCC tissues and cell lines(P<0.001)and negatively correlated with the expression of circ_0008043(r=-0.550,P<0.001).The inhibition of glycolysis caused by silencing circ_0008043 was partially restored by inhibiting miR-198 expression.SLC2A1 was highly expressed in HCC tissues and cell lines(P<0.001),and overexpression of SLC2A1 reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-198 on glycolysis in HCC cells.The nude mouse experiment showed that silencing circ_0008043 could inhibit the growth of HCC cell xenografts(P<0.001). Conclusion circ_0008043 promotes HCC cell glycolysis and growth through the miR-198/SLC2A1 axis.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory role and mechanism of TRIM24 in endocrine therapy resistance of breast cancer. Methods The relationship between TRIM24 expression and prognosis in breast cancer patients receiving endocrine therapy was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier Plotter database.After treatment of breast cancer MCF7 cells or T47D cells with tamoxifen(TAM),the expression of TRIM24 was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot.After knocking out TRIM24 in TAM sensitive MCF7/S0.5 cells and resistant cells MCF7/TAMR-1 cells,cell proliferation was measured by CCK 8 assay.After knocking out the estrogen receptor(ER)or treating with the selective progesterone receptor(PR)antagonist UPA(Ulipristal acetate)in MCF7 cells,the expression of TRIM24 was measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot.After PR was overexpressed in MCF7 cells,the expression of TRIM24 was detected by Western blot.The expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)was detected by qRT PCR and Western blot after the overexpression of TRIM24. Results Among breast cancer patients receiving endocrine therapy,patients with high expression of TRIM24 had a shorter recurrence free survival(RFS)(P=0.027).TAM treatment could induce an increase of TRIM24 expression(P<0.001);Knocking out TRIM24 significantly inhibited the proliferation of drug-resistant MCF7/TAMR-1 cells(P<0.001),but had no effect on sensitive MCF7/S0.5 cells;After knocking out ER or treatment of PR antagonist,the expression of TRIM24 could be upregulated in MCF7 cells(P<0.01),while overexpression of PR could down-regulate the expression of TRIM24.TRIM24 could activate the expression of HER2(P<0.05). Conclusion PR negatively regulation of TRIM24 plays an important role in endocrine therapy resistance of breast cancer.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of B cell translocation gene 3(BTg-3)on proliferation,invasion,migration and protein kinase B/glycogen synthase kinase-3β/β-catenin(Akt/GSK-3β/β-catenin)signaling pathway of liver cancer cells. Methods Western blot was used to measure the expression of BTg-3 protein in liver cancer BEL-7402 cells,SMMC-7721 cells,HepG2 cells and normal liver cancer LO2 cells.HepG2 cells were divided into the blank control group(N group),empty vector group(V group),BTg-3 overexpression group(BTg-3 group)and BTg-3 overexpression + LICL group(BTg-3+LICL group).HepG2 cells in the N group were not transfected and HepG2 cells of the V group were transfected with empty vector pcDNA3.1.HepG2 cells in the BTg-3 group were transfected overexpressing BTg-3 vector pcDNA3.1-BTg-3,while HepG2 cells in the BTg-3 overexpression + LiCl group were transfected with the BTg-3 vector pcDNA3.1-BTg-3 and treated with 10 nmol/l GSK-3β inhibitor-lithium chloride(LiCl).MTT assay was used to determine the proliferative ability of HepG2 cells in each group.The cell colony formation assay was used to determine the survival ability of HepG2 cells in each group.Transwell assay was used to determine the invasive and migratory ability of HepG2 cells in each group.Western blot was used to determine the expression of Akt,phosphorylated Akt(p-Akt),p-GSK-3β,β-catenin,Cyclin D1,N-cadherin and epithelial cadherin(E-cadherin)in HepG2 cells. Results The expression of BTg-3 protein in human liver cancer BEL-7402 cells,SMMC-7721 cells and HepG2 cells were lower than that in normal liver LO2 cells(P<0.001).Compared with the N group and V group,the A values and clone formation rates were decreased in the BTg-3 group and BTg-3+LICL group(P<0.05),as well as a decrease in the number of invasive cells and migratory cells(P<0.05).The expression of p-Akt,p-GSK-3β,β-catenin,Cyclin D1 and N-cadherin proteins decreased(P<0.05),and the expression of BTg-3 and E-cadherin proteins increased(P<0.05)in the BTg-3 group and BTg-3+LICL group.Compared with the BTg-3 group,the A values and clone formation rate in the BTg-3+LICL group increased(P<0.05),as well as an increase in the number of invasive cells and migratory cells(P<0.05).The expression of p-Akt,p-GSK-3β,β-catenin,Cyclin D1 and N-cadherin proteins increased(P<0.05),while the expression of BTg-3 and E-cadherin proteins in HepG2 cells decreased in the BTg-3+LICL group(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the indexes of HepG2 cells between the N group and V group(P>0.05). Conclusion BTg-3 is lowly expressed in liver cancer cells,and overexpression BTg-3 may inhibit proliferation,invasion and migration of liver cancer cells through the Akt/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathway.
