SNX3 mediates heart failure by interacting with HMGB1 and subsequently facilitating its nuclear-cytoplasmic translocation.

Sorting nexins (SNXs) as the key regulators of sorting cargo proteins are involved in diverse diseases. SNXs can form the specific reverse vesicle transport complex (SNXs-retromer) with vacuolar protein sortings (VPSs) to sort and modulate recovery and degradation of cargo proteins. Our previous study has shown that SNX3-retromer promotes both STAT3 activation and nuclear translocation in cardiomyocytes, suggesting that SNX3 might be a critical regulator in the heart.

Sevoflurane attenuates hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced cardiomyocyte injury by regulating miR-4454.

Background: Sevoflurane (Sevo) prevents hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cardiomyocytes injury. The expression of miR-4,454 was increased in individuals experiencing an acute myocardial infarction.

Objective: The purpose of current investigation was to delved into whether the effects of Sevo on cardiomyocytes are mediated through regulation of miR-4,454 expression.

Th17 Cell-Related Gene Biomarkers in Osteoporosis: Comprehensive Bioinformatics Analysis and In Vivo Validation.

The interaction between the bone and immune systems has a major role in osteoporosis regulation. However, the infiltration of T helper 17 (Th17) cells and their associated genes in osteoporosis remains unclear. The GSE35959 dataset was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the Immune Cell Abundance Identifier (ImmuCellAI) program was used to evaluate the abundance of 24 immune cell types, including Th17 cells.

A Therapeutic DNA Vaccine Targeting HPV16 E7 in Combination with Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Enhanced Tumor Regression and Cytotoxic Immune Responses.

Persistent infection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) and the expression of E6 and E7 oncoproteins are the main causes of cervical cancer. Several prophylactic HPV vaccines are used in the clinic, but these vaccines have limited efficacy in patients already infected with HPV. Since HPV E7 is vital for tumor-specific immunity, developing a vaccine against HPV E7 is an attractive strategy for cervical cancer treatment.

: an appropriate marker for the determination of the genetic relationships among horse populations and breeds.

To date, the origins, domestication, and genetic structure of Chinese Mongolian horses (CMH) are poorly understood. Furthermore, there have been sparse reports on the genetic differences between CMH and Thoroughbred. In order to determine their genetic structure, understand their genetic relationships, and explore their domestication processes, we performed an extensive survey of creatine kinase (muscle isoenzyme; variations among six populations of indigenous CMH, cultivated Sanhe horses, and imported Thoroughbred.

Neural Correlates of Facial Emotion Recognition in Non-help-seeking University Students With Ultra-High Risk for Psychosis.

Background: Since the introduction of the neurodevelopmental perspective of schizophrenia research on individuals at ultra-high risk for psychosis (UHR) has gained increasing interest, aiming at early detection and intervention. Results from fMRI studies investigating behavioral and brain functional changes in UHR during facial emotion recognition, an essential component of social cognition, showed heterogenous results, probably due clinical diversity across these investigations. This fMRI study investigated emotion recognition in a sub-group of the UHR spectrum, namely non-help-seeking, drug-naïve UHR with high cognitive functioning to reveal the neurofunctional underpinnings of their social functioning in comparison to healthy controls.

Adsorption and Sensing Performances of Pristine and Au-Decorated Gallium Nitride Monolayer to Noxious Gas Molecules: A DFT Investigation.

In this study, the adsorption of noxious gas molecules (NO, Cl, and O) on GaN and Au-decorated GaN was systematically scrutinized, and the adsorption energy, bond length, charge, density of state (DOS), partial density of state (PDOS), electron deformation density (EDD), and orbitals were analyzed by the density functional theory (DFT) method. It is found that the interaction between NO and pristine GaN is physical adsorption, while GaN chemically reacts with Cl and O. These observations suggest that pristine GaN may be a candidate for the detection of Cl and O.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and indels identified from whole-genome re-sequencing of four Chinese donkey breeds.

This paper represents the fundamental report of the survey of genome-wide changes of four Chinese indigenous donkey breeds, Dezhou (DZ), Guangling (GL), North China (NC), and Shandong Little donkey (SDL), and the findings will prove usefully for identification of biomarkers that perhaps predict or characterize the growth and coat color patterns. Three genomic regions in , , and genes, were identified as putative selective sweeps in all researched donkey populations. The loci of candidate genes that may have contributed to the phenotypes in body size (, , , and ) and coat color patterns ( and ) in donkey populations would be found in underlying strong selection signatures when compared between large and small donkey types, and between different coat colors.
