Background
Hypoxia is a frequent feature of solid tumors which significantly affects the efficacy of treatments such as chemotherapy. In addition, exosomes from hypoxic cancer cells could contribute to the chemoresistance of tumor cells through carrying miRNAs. It has been shown that miR-106-5p level was upregulated in glioma. However, whether exosomes derived from hypoxic glioma cells could affect temozolomide (TMZ) resistance in glioma through carrying miR-106a-5p remains unexplored.
Methods
Exosomes were isolated from glioma cells under normoxia or hypoxia condition. EdU staining and flow cytometry assays were used to assess the cell proliferation and cell apoptosis. The relation between miR-106a-5p and PTEN was investigated by dual luciferase assay.
Results
MiR-106a-5p was enriched in exosomes derived from hypoxic glioma cells compared to exosomes from cells under normoxia condition. Additionally, hypoxic glioma cells were able to transfer exosomes to glioma cells, resulting in a significant increase of miR-106a-5p level in cells. TMZ remarkably suppressed glioma cell proliferation and triggered cell apoptosis. However, hypoxic glioma cell-derived exosomes markedly promoted the proliferation and suppressed the apoptosis in TMZ-treated glioma cells, and miR-106a-5p inhibitor was able to abolish these phenomena. Meanwhile, PTEN was verified to be a direct target of miR-106a-5p. Furthermore, TMZ elevated PTEN and Bax level and reduced p-Akt level in glioma cells, whereas these changes were reversed by hypoxia glioma cell-derived exosomes. Furthermore, hypoxia glioma cell-derived exosomes reduced the sensitivity of glioma cells to TMZ in vivo via downregulating PTEN.
Conclusion
Collectively, exosomal miR-106a-5p derived from hypoxia glioma cells could reduce the sensitivity of glioma cells to TMZ through downregulating PTEN. Thus, our study might provide new strategies for improving the clinical efficacy of TMZ on glioma.
The use of image recognition technology to complete the precise pose measurement of objects has always been a difficulty in the field of computer vision. This paper proposes a precision pose measurement technology based on multi-cooperation logo, which uses OpenCV and Aruco to complete the generation of cooperative logo. Through the uPnP algorithm to complete the relative pose detection of the camera and the cooperation logo, and then the precise pose measurement of the multi-cooperation sign is completed by Gaussian filtering and iteration of the nearest neighbor. Compared with the traditional positioning method, it has higher accuracy and robustness. This technology has important reference value in robot positioning.
Abstract. This paper introduces a omnidirectional mobile robot based on Mecanum wheel, which is used for conveying heavy load in a small space of the automatic warehousing logistics center. Then analyzes and establishes the omnidirectional chassis inverse and forward kinematic model. In order to improve the performance of motion, the paper proposes the optimal PID controller based on differential evolution algorithm. Finally, through MATLAB simulation, the results show that the kinematic model of mobile robot chassis is correct, further more the controller optimized by the DE algorithm working better than the traditional Z-N PID tuned. So the optimal scheme is reasonable and feasible, which has a value for engineering applications.
In this paper, we propose a two DOF joint mechanical design scheme for heavy-load manipulator based on linear driving, the key structural parameters that directly influencing on the linear driving force is determined. Based on the multi-body kinematics and the principle of virtual work, we derive the relationship between the torque of joint space at the base of the heavy-load manipulator and the force of linear driving, then by analyzing the relationship, we obtain the design method of key structural parameters. Finally, using simulation analysis we validate this design method.
