Calcium regulates the physiological and molecular responses of Morus alba roots to cadmium stress.

Heavy metal cadmium (Cd) is toxic to organisms. Mulberry (Morus alba L.) is a fast-growing perennial that is also an economical Cd phytoremediation material with large biomass.

Physiological, Proteomic Analysis, and Calcium-Related Gene Expression Reveal var. Adaptability to Acid Rain Stress Under Various Calcium Levels.

As one of the serious environmental problems worldwide, acid rain (AR) has always caused continuous damage to the forestry ecosystem. Studies have shown that AR can leach calcium ions from plants and soil. Calcium (Ca) is also a crucial regulator of the plant stress response, whereas there are few reports on how Ca regulates the response of AR-resistant woody plants to AR stress.

PAQR3 Inhibits Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Growth by Regulating the NF-κB/p53/Bax Axis.

Background: The expression of progestin and adipoQ receptor 3 (PAQR3) is generally downregulated in multiple tumors, which is associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis.

Methods: The clinical value of PAQR3 was analyzed using various databases and in 60 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In addition, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, and flow cytometry assays were used to evaluate the effect of PAQR3 on the growth of NSCLC cells .

High lncSNHG15 expression may predict poor cancer prognosis: a meta-analysis based on the PRISMA and the bio-informatics analysis.

Background: SNHG15 has been reported to be aberrantly expressed in various tumor tissues and could serve as a promising prognostic cancer biomarker. Previous studies on SNHG15 yielded inconsistent results with insufficient sampling. Here, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the prognostic value of SNHG15 in multiple cancers.

Evaluation of the Prognostic Value of STEAP1 in Lung Adenocarcinoma and Insights Into Its Potential Molecular Pathways via Bioinformatic Analysis.

Background: Upregulation of the six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate-1 (STEAP1) is closely associated with prognosis of numerous malignant cancers. However, its role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the most common type of lung cancer, remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the role of STEAP1 in the occurrence and progression of LUAD and the potential mechanisms underlying its regulatory effects.

[Relationships of microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen with particle composition and nitrogen mineralization potential in calcareous soil].

Taking 25 surface soil samples of calcareous soil with greater difference in fertility on Loess Plateau as test materials, this paper studied the relationships of soil microbial biomass carbon (B(C)) and nitrogen (B(N)) with soil nitrogen mineralization potential (N(0)), total nitrogen (TN), organic carbon (OC), and particle composition. The results showed that B(C) and B(N) had significant positive correlations with TN and OC, suggesting that B(C) and B(N) were highly related with soil fertility and could be used as biological indices of soil quality. B(C) and B(N) were highly correlated with N(0), with the correlation coefficient being 0.
