All procedures followed in this study were in accordance with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and later versions. Oral consent was obtained from patients involved before enrollment when data were collected retrospectively.
A novel coronavirus pandemic threatens the world. Here, we first studied the dynamics profile of SARS-CoV-2 from 56 recovered COVID-19 patients. We found virus shedding was up to 6 weeks after onset of symptoms. Prolonged observation period is necessary for older patients.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies and most of the patients diagnosed with advanced CRC have unsatisfactory treatment effect and poor prognosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of CCNI2 on the development of CRC. In this sutdy, immunohistochemical staining was used to detect CCNI2 expression levels in clinical samples, meanwhile, the Kaplan‐Meier survival analysis was conducted. Celigo cell counting assay was used for screening shCCNI2s. QPCR and WB were performed to verify knockdown efficiency of CCNI2. Cell proliferation, colony formation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and mechanism investigation of CCNI2 knockdown were investigated by MTT assay, colony formation assay, fluorescence‐activated cell sorting, and human apoptosis antibody array, respectively. Otherwise, the mouse model of CCNI2 knockdown was also constructed. The results of immunohistochemical staining and qPCR indicated that CCNI2 had a high expression level in the CRC tissues and cell lines. Kaplan‐Meier survival analysis manifested that the high expression of CCNI2 suggested poor prognosis. The expression of CCNI2 was significantly reduced by CCNI2‐siRNAs, and the downregulated expression level of CCNI2 inhibited CRC cell proliferation and colony formation, arrested cell cycle in G2 phase, as well as promoted cell apoptosis. The various indexes of solid tumor in mice models indicated that CCNI2 knockdown could suppress the growth of CRC tumor. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the above results, CCNI2 was contributed to the progression of CRC and could serve as a prognostic marker for CRC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
