Pulmonary microbiota signatures adjacent to adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and benign lesion.

Introduction: The occurrence and progression of lung cancer are influenced by pulmonary microbiota, yet the relationship between changes in the pulmonary microbiota and lung cancer remains unclear.

Methods: To investigate the correlation between pulmonary microbiota and the signature of lung lesions, we analyzed the microbial composition at sites adjacent to the stage 1 adenocarcinoma, squamous carcinoma and benign lesion tissues in 49 patients by using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. We then conducted Linear discriminant analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and PICRUSt prediction based on 16S sequencing results.

Healthy regulation of Tibetan Brassica rapa L. polysaccharides on alleviating hyperlipidemia: A rodent study.

Hyperlipidemia is a common metabolic disorder, which can lead to obesity, hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis and other diseases. Studies have shown that polysaccharides absorbed by the intestinal tract can regulate blood lipids and facilitate the growth of intestinal flora. This article aims to investigate whether Tibetan turnip polysaccharide (TTP) plays a protective role in blood lipid and intestinal health via hepatic and intestinal axes.

Exosomal circDNER enhances paclitaxel resistance and tumorigenicity of lung cancer via targeting miR-139-5p/ITGB8.

Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are regarded as vital regulatory factors in various cancers. However, the biological functions of circDNER in the paclitaxel (PTX) resistance of lung cancer remain largely unexplored.

Methods: Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze circDNER, miR-139-5p, and ITGB8.
