Proteomic and metabolomic analysis of plasma for pain at different labor stages.

Labor pain has an important impact on maternal labor experience, mood, and postpartum depression. It is of great emotional significance to pay attention to the pain stress response of pregnant women and take necessary intervention measures in the labor process to weaken the sense of delivery experience and reduce the risk of complications. To better understand the molecular alteration of pain and stress changes during the delivery, we analyzed the metabolomic and proteomic of the plasma collected during the labor process at different stages, revealing the significant changes in metabolites and proteins and the key regulatory pathways.

Circ-FOXO3 inhibits triple-negative breast cancer growth and metastasis via regulating WHSC1-H3K36me2-Zeb2 axis.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a subclass of non-coding RNAs characterized by covalently closed continuous loops, play a key role in tumorigenesis and aggressiveness. However, the potential molecular mechanism of circRNAs in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains largely unknown. Exploring their roles and mechanisms in TNBC progression may help identify new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets.

Multi-scale structural characteristics of black Tartary buckwheat resistant starch by autoclaving combined with debranching modification.

The impact of autoclaving or autoclave-debranching treatments on the multi-scale structure of resistant starch (RS) and the relationship with starch digestion remains unclear, despite their widespread use in its preparation. This work investigated the relationship between RS structure in black Tartary buckwheat and its digestibility by analyzing the effects of autoclaving and autoclave-debranching combined treatments on the multi-scale structure of RS. The results showed that black Tartary buckwheat RS exhibited a more extensive honeycomb-like network structure and enhanced thermal stability than either black Tartary buckwheat native starch (BTBNS) or common buckwheat native starch (CBNS).

JAZF1 safeguards human endometrial stromal cells survival and decidualization by repressing the transcription of G0S2.

Decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells (hESCs) is essential for the maintenance of pregnancy, which depends on the fine-tuned regulation of hESCs survival, and its perturbation contributes to pregnancy loss. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for functional deficits in decidua from recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) patients have not been elucidated. Here, we observed that JAZF1 was significantly downregulated in stromal cells from RSA decidua.

TNFα/TNFR1 signal induces excessive senescence of decidua stromal cells in recurrent pregnancy loss.

Defects in decidual response are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes which includes recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). It is reported that cellular senescence happens during decidualization and pro-senescent decidual response in the luteal phase endometrium is related to RPL. However, the underlying mechanisms of how excessive decidual senescence takes place in RPL decidua cells remain largely unexplored.

Fundus-Vascular Responses to Color Deviation Caused by Non-Oxidative Blue Filtering.

Aims: Short-wavelength blue light damaged retina by the oxidative stress in the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Filtering blue light from screen could reduce blue hazard, whereas it inevitably altered color-gamut coverage and color-deviation level. Although abnormal fundus-vascular density (FVD) sometimes indicated fundus disease, few researchers noticed its responses to the variation of color-gamut coverage and color-deviation level.

ALKBH5-Mediated m6A Demethylation of GLUT4 mRNA Promotes Glycolysis and Resistance to HER2-Targeted Therapy in Breast Cancer.

Unlabelled: Resistance to HER2-targeted therapy represents a significant challenge for the successful treatment of patients with breast cancer with HER2-positive tumors. Through a global mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach, we discovered that the expression of the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) demethylase ALKBH5 was significantly upregulated in HER2-targeted therapy-resistant breast cancer cells. Elevated expression of ALKBH5 was sufficient to confer resistance to HER2-targeted therapy, and specific knockdown of ALKBH5 rescued the efficacy of trastuzumab and lapatinib in resistant breast cancer cells.

P21-activated kinase 2-mediated β-catenin signaling promotes cancer stemness and osimertinib resistance in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer.

Osimertinib (AZD9291) is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), used for treating patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR-activating mutations or the resistant T790M mutation. However, acquired resistance to osimertinib is inevitable in EGFR-mutant NSCLC. By employing a global mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics approach, we identified that the activated p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2)/β-catenin axis acts as a driver of osimertinib resistance.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive subtype of breast cancer with poor prognosis and limited treatment. As a major component of the tumor microenvironment, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play an important role in facilitating the aggressive behavior of TNBC. This study aimed to explore the novel mechanism of TAMs in the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stem cell (CSC) properties in TNBC.

Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) Trans-Activation-Responsive RNA-binding protein 2 (TARBP2) inhibits apoptosis by decreasing PKR phosphorylation.

PKR plays a significant role in IFN antiviral responses and in mediating apoptosis. Its activity is crucial for cellular antiviral and subsequent recovery. In mammalian cells, Protein Activator of the Interferon-induced Protein Kinase (PACT) and Trans-Activation-Responsive RNA-Binding Protein 2 (TARBP2) have the opposite effect on PKR activity in a dsRNA independent manner.

Targeting nicotinamide N-methyltransferase overcomes resistance to EGFR-TKI in non-small cell lung cancer cells.

Activating mutations of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) contributes to the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-targeted therapy has become the standard treatment for NSCLC patients with EGFR-mutations. However, acquired resistance to these agents remains a major obstacle for managing NSCLC.

Single-cell transcriptome analysis reveals defective decidua stromal niche attributes to recurrent spontaneous abortion.

Objectives: Successful pregnancy involves the homeostasis between maternal decidua and fetoplacental units, whose disruption contributes to compromised pregnancy outcomes, including recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). The role of cell heterogeneity of maternal decidua in RSA is yet to be illustrated.

Materials And Methods: A total of 66,078 single cells from decidua samples isolated from patients with RSA and healthy controls were analysed by unbiased single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).

β-Catenin-CCL2 feedback loop mediates crosstalk between cancer cells and macrophages that regulates breast cancer stem cells.

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. Though advances in diagnosis and treatment have prolonged overall survival (OS) for patients with breast cancer, metastasis remains the major obstacles to improved survival for breast cancer patients. The existence of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) is a major reason underlying cancer metastasis and recurrence.

Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) PIAS1 inhibits innate immune response via interacting with STAT1.

Protein inhibitor of activated signal transducer and activator of transcription (PIAS) family protein involved in gene transcriptional regulation acts as negative regulator in Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway. But until now, the roles of PIAS in fish are not clear. In this study, we identified the two mammalian PIAS1 orthologs from Ctenopharyngodon idellus, namely CiPIAS1a and CiPIAS1b, respectively.
