We have shown in the past decade, for the first time in a bivalve mollusc, detection, isolation, and purification of β-1,3 glucan binding protein (β-GBP) in the plasma of the marine mussel Perna viridis and demonstrated its role in a nonself-induced activation of plasma prophenoloxidase system. In this study, we present evidence for its ability to function as an opsonin during phagocytosis of trypsinized yeast cells by the hemocytes of P. viridis . The in vitro pretreatment of target cells (trypsinized yeast cells) with β-GBP enhanced the phagocytic response of hemocytes...

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) family is a class of proteins known as molecular chaperones that promote client protein folding and translocation in unstressed cells and regulate cellular homeostasis in the stress response. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are defined as RNAs that do not encode proteins. Previous studies have shown that ncRNAs are key regulators of multiple fundamental cellular processes, such as development, differentiation, proliferation, transcription, post-transcriptional modifications, apoptosis, and cell metabolism...

Ewing sarcoma family tumors (ESFTs) are a group of aggressive tumors mainly affecting children and young people. A compound derived from Curcuma wenyujin plant or lemon grass, β-elemene, has exhibited antitumor effects to ESFT cells, the mechanism of which remains to be clarified further. Autophagy is involved in the antitumor effects of various drugs, whereas the role of autophagy in the antitumor effects of β-elemene persists controversial. Herein we found that β-elemene treatment inhibited the viability of ESFT cells in a dose-dependent manner...

Recent studies have shown that several members of the G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) superfamily play crucial roles in the maintenance of ion-water homeostasis of the sperm and Sertoli cells, development of the germ cells, formation of the blood barrier, and maturation of sperm. The GPCR, guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor, membrane traffic protein, and small GTPase genes were analyzed by microarray and bioinformatics (3513 sperm and Sertoli cell genes). In the microarray analyses of three human cases with different nonobstructive azoospermia sperm, the expression of GOLGA8IP , OR2AT4 , PHKA1 , A2M, OR56A1 , SEMA3G , LRRC17 , APP , ARHGAP33 , RABGEF1 , NPY2R , GHRHR , LTB4R2 , GRIK5 , OR6K6 , NAPG , OR6C65 , VPS35 , FPR3 , and ARL4A was upregulated, while expression of MARS , SIRPG , OGFR , GPR150 , LRRK1 , and NGEF was downregulated...

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is specified by microalbuminuria, glomerular lesions, and renal fibrosis leading to end-stage renal disease. The pathophysiology of DN is multifactorial as a result of gene-environment interaction. Clinical studies suggested that gene mutations affect various pathways involved in DN, including extracellular matrix (ECM). During chronic hyperglycemia, collagen type-4-mediated ECM overproduction occurs, leading to renal fibrosis and DN development. In this study, COL4A1 gene variant rs605143 (G/A) was analyzed in diabetes and DN patients from the study population...

N-cadherin (cadherin-2 [CDH2]) is widely known as the promoter of prostate cancer (PCa) invasion and castration resistance. However, the biological mechanism of N-cadherin in PCa progression is unclear. In this study, we overexpressed N-cadherin in LNCaP cells and downregulated N-cadherin in PC3 cells by lentiviral transduction. Then, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and dysregulated biological functions were investigated through RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analyses. We found 13 long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) transcripts, 72 messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts, and 3 integrated genes were dysregulated by N-cadherin...

In the tumor microenvironment, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are one of the most abundant cell populations, playing key roles in tumorigenesis, chemoresistance, immune evasion, and metastasis. There is an important interaction between TAMs and cancer cells: on the one hand, tumors control the function of infiltrating macrophages, contributing to reprogramming of TAMs, and on the other hand, TAMs affect the growth of cancer cells. This review focuses on lipid metabolism changes in the complex relationship between cancer cells and TAMs...

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling is conserved from cnidaria to mammals (Ornitz and Itoh, 2022) and it regulates several critical processes such as differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, cell migration, and embryonic development. One pivotal process FGF signaling controls is the division of vertebrate paraxial mesoderm into repeated segmented units called somites (i.e., somitogenesis). Somite segmentation occurs periodically and sequentially in a head-to-tail manner, and lays down the plan for compartmentalized development of the vertebrate body axis (Gomez et al...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent debilitating joint disease for which there are currently no licensed disease-modifying treatments. The pathogenesis of OA is complex, involving genetic, mechanical, biochemical, and environmental factors. Cartilage injury, arguably the most important driving factor in OA development, is able to activate both protective and inflammatory pathways within the tissue. Recently, >100 genetic risk variants for OA have been identified through Genome Wide Association Studies, which provide a powerful tool to validate existing putative disease pathways and discover new ones...

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) and cirrhosis are key outcomes of excessive alcohol use, and a genetic influence in these outcomes is increasingly recognized. While 80-90% of heavy alcohol users show evidence of fatty liver, only 10-20% progress to cirrhosis. There is currently no clear understanding of the causes of this difference in progression. The aim of this study is to evaluate genetics and epigenetics at the aldehyde dehydrogenase ( ALDH2) locus in patients with AUD and liver complications. Study participants were inpatients from the clinical services of Gastroenterology and Psychiatry at St...

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are generally formed by the back-splicing of precursor mRNA. Increasing evidence implicates the important role of circRNAs in cardiovascular diseases. However, the role of circ-insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor ( circIGF1R ) in cardiomyocyte (CM) proliferation remains unclear. Here, we investigated the potential role of the circIGF1R in the proliferation of CMs. We found that circIGF1R expression in heart tissues and primary CMs from adult mice was significantly lower than that in neonatal mice at postnatal 1 day (p1)...
