Background/Aims: The mouse is widely used as an animal model for studying human embryo implantation. However, the mouse is unique in that both ovarian progesterone and estrogen are critical to implantation, whereas in the majority of species (e.g. human and hamster) implantation can occur in the presence of progesterone alone. Methods: In this study, we analyzed embryo-induced transcriptomic changes in the hamster uterus during embryo implantation by using RNA-seq. Differentially expressed genes were characterized by bioinformatic analysis. Results: We identified a total of 781 differentially expressed genes, of which 367 genes were up-regulated and 414 genes were down-regulated at the implantation site compared to the inter-implantation site. Functional clustering and gene network analysis highlighted the cell cycle process in uterus upon embryo implantation. By examining of the promoter regions of differentially expressed genes, we identified 7 causal transcription factors. Additionally, through connectivity map (CMap) analysis, multiple compounds were identified to have potential anti-implantation effects due to their ability to reverse embryo-induced transcriptomic changes. Conclusion: Our study provides a valuable resource for in-depth understanding of the mechanism underlying embryo implantation.

Recent studies have found that chromosome 3 is frequently mutated in metastatic uveal melanoma (UVM), which leads to the loss of BAP1 expression or the weakening of BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) function and promotes metastasis of uveal melanoma cells. However, the specific signaling pathways that are affected by BAP1 depletion in uveal melanoma remain unclear. Our aim in this study was to verify the effect and regulatory mechanism of BAP1 on uveal melanoma. RT-qPCR and western blotting results showed that BAP1 was significantly down-regulated in OCM-1A cells treated with a BAP1 shRNA vector. MTT, cell scratch and transwell migration assays showed that low expression of BAP1 significantly promoted the proliferation and migration of UVM cells. A total of 269 up-regulated and 807 down-regulated genes were identified from the combined GSE110193 and GSE48863 data sets. These differentially expressed genes are mainly involved in the composition of extracellular matrix and the regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway and are closely related to the cell adhesion pathway. CXCL8, COL5A3, COL11A1, and COL12A1 were among the differentially expressed genes and are closely related to the prognosis of UVM. Therefore, the deletion of BAP1 is closely related to poor prognosis of UVM and is a risk factor for UVM metastasis. The potential targets of BAP1 include CXCL8, COL5A3, COL11A1, and COL12A1. It is believed that BAP1 regulates UVM cell adhesion through these four genes and ultimately regulates tumor development and migration.

Abstract Background: N6-methyladenosine(m6A) is one of the most common RNA modifications that occurs at the nitrogen-6 position of adenine. Emerging evidence has revealed that regulatory functions of m6A play an essential role in the development of cancer. However the study of m6A in ovarian cancer(OC) is still in our infancy. In this work ,we aimed to identify and analysis the differentially expressed genes(DEGs) modified by m6A which can provide new therapeutic targets and key biomarkers in OC.Methods: We downloaded Microarray datasets GSE146553 and GSE124766 from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by GEO2R analysis tools. Subsequently, The DAVID database was used to construct Enrichment analysis of GO and KEGG pathways. Next, the DEGs modified by m6A were identified by m6AVar database. Finally, the functional analysis and clinical sample validation of these genes were verified by ONCOMINE, GEPIA, cBioPortal online platform and Kaplan-Meier Plotter.Results:152 DEGs were selected ,and the DEGs were mainly enriched in extracellular exosome, spindle microtubule, response to hypoxia and cell cycle .And we identified 15 DEGs which were modified by m6A:MAPK10、MXRA5、CHD7、MECOM、SCN7A、GREB、PRUNE2、MX2、TOP2A、JAM2、DST、LAPTM5、CDKN2A、GATM and ANGPTL1. After statistical analysis, two DEGs (SCN7A and GAMT) were selected for detailed study. We revealed that SCN7A and GAMT were expressed at a low level in OC. Afterwards, Survival analysis showed that SCN7A and GAMT expression were correlated with OC overall survival. And the expression of SCN7A and GAMT mRNA decreasing in different TNM stages. Finally, we presumed that the modification of m6A spongs GAMT via EIF4A3 or FUS to participate in the occcurrence and the development of OC.Conclusion: Altogether, the current study identified and analysised the DEGs modified by m6A in OC. It will help us to investigate the underlying mechanism and progression of OC. In addition, it can provide new diagnostic markers and potential therapeutic targets in OC.

478 Background: Bladder cancer is the ninth most common malignancy in the world, approximately 75% of patients are diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Smoking has been established to be a carcinogenic risk factor of bladder cancer. Nevertheless, the detailed relationship between smoking and progression of NMIBC are poorly understood. In this study, we revealed high expressed genes in smoking patients were significantly related to tumor progression in NMIBC patients. Methods: A total of 54 NMIBC patients including 19 never smokers and 35 smokers (current smokers and previous smokers) were enrolled in this study.The gene expression profiles were obtained by RNA-seq and the differentially expressed genes between smoking and non-smoking patients were identified using DESeq2 .The further analysis of the association between genes expression and patient survival in NMIBC cohorts(Jakob et al., 2016)and IMvigor 210 cohorts(Jonathan et al., 2016)by Kaplan-Meier survival estimate. Results: We identified 46 differentially expressed genes (p<0.05) in smoking and non-somking NMIBC patients. IDO1 and KRT14 gene, which related to bladder cancer progression and poor prognosis, was identified significantly higher expressed in somking group compared with non-smoking and they have a logFC of 2.6,3.9 with FDR 1.83E-5,3.40E-5 respectively. The expression of other genes, including KRT6A, CASP14, SERPINA1, MYO3A and IL20RB, were significantly higher in smoking patients compared to non-somking. Notably, survival data analysis from 476 NMIBC cohorts showed that IL20RB had a significant relationship with poor PFS(p = 0.021) and in the Mvigor 210 Cohort including 310 advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma patients treated with atezolizumab, we found that the high expression of IL20RB was significantly related to poor OS(p = 0.002). Conclusions: We identified 14 genes related to tumor progression were significantly higher in smoking NMIBC patients than in non-smoking. Among these genes, the expression of IL20RB was related to the poor prognosis of NMIBC, and it may correlates with reduced clinical benefit of immunotherapeutic in patients with urothelial carcinoma.
