Lipid metabolism-related gene signature predicts prognosis and unveils novel anti-tumor drugs in specific type of diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of lymphoma which possess highly aggressive and heterogeneous. Despite advances in understanding heterogeneity and development of novel targeted agents, the prognosis of DLBCL patients remains unsatisfied. Lipids are crucial components of biological membranes and signal transduction while accumulating evidence has supported the vital roles of abnormal lipid metabolism in tumorigenesis.

OSGIN1 regulates PM-induced fibrosis via mediating autophagy in an in vitro model of COPD.

Fine particulate matter (PM) has been identified as a significant contributing factor to the exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It has been observed that PM may induce lung fibrosis in COPD, although the precise molecular mechanism behind this remains unclear. In a previous study, we demonstrated that PM upregulates oxidative stress induced growth inhibitor 1 (OSGIN1), which in turn leads to injury in airway epithelial cells, thereby, suggesting a potential link between PM exposure and COPD.

Halide Superionic Conductors with Non-Close-Packed Anion Frameworks.

Halide superionic conductors (SICs) are drawing significant research attention for their potential applications in all-solid-state batteries. A key challenge in developing such SICs is to explore and design halide structural frameworks that enable rapid ion movement. In this work, we show that the close-packed anion frameworks shared by traditional halide ionic conductors face intrinsic limitations in fast ion conduction, regardless of structural regulation.

Antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection in patients with hematological malignancies: A multicenter, prospective cohort study.

Little is known about antibody responses to natural Omicron infection and the risk factors for poor responders in patients with hematological malignancies (HM). We conducted a multicenter, prospective cohort study during the latest Omicron wave in Chongqing, China, aiming to compare the antibody responses, as assessed by IgG levels of anti-receptor binding domain of spike protein (anti-S-RBD), to Omicron infection in the HM cohort (HMC) with healthy control cohort (HCC), and solid cancer cohort (SCC). In addition, we intend to explore the risk factors for poor responders in the HMC.

miR-26 inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis of multiple myeloma cells by targeting BNIP3.

This study was carried out to investigate the molecular mechanism of microRNA-26 (miR-26) targeting BNIP3 to mediate proliferation and apoptosis of multiple myeloma (MM) cells. The expression of miR-26 and BNIP3 in MM and normal tissues was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. According to the average expression of miR-26 and BNIP3, the patients were divided into 12 cases with high miR-26 expression group, 18 cases with low miR-26 expression group, 20 cases with BNIP3 high expression group, and 10 cases with BNIP3 low expression group.

Multi-omics profiling reveals rhythmic liver function shaped by meal timing.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) couple feed-fast cycles to diurnal rhythms. However, it remains largely uncharacterized whether and how meal timing organizes diurnal rhythms beyond the transcriptome. Here, we systematically profile the daily rhythms of the proteome, four PTMs (phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, succinylation and N-glycosylation) and the lipidome in the liver from young female mice subjected to either day/sleep time-restricted feeding (DRF) or night/wake time-restricted feeding (NRF).

Reactive Oxygen Species-Triggered Curcumin Release from Hollow Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for PM-Induced Acute Lung Injury Treatment.

Exposure to fine particulate matter with a diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM) can result in serious inflammation and oxidative stress in lung tissue. However, there is presently very few effective treatments for PM-induced many pulmonary diseases, such as acute lung injury (ALI).

Daytime-restricted feeding enhances running endurance without prior exercise in mice.

Physical endurance and energy conservation are essential for survival in the wild. However, it remains unknown whether and how meal timing regulates physical endurance and muscle diurnal rhythms. Here, we show that day/sleep time-restricted feeding (DRF) enhances running endurance by 100% throughout the circadian cycle in both male and female mice, compared to either ad libitum feeding or night/wake time-restricted feeding.

linc01515 regulates PM-induced oxidative stress via targeting NRF2 in airway epithelial cells.

Dysregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is involved in the adverse effects caused by fine particulate matter (PM). However, the molecular mechanism is not fully clarified. In this study, we performed lncRNA sequencing on PM-treated human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells to identify vital lncRNAs, and verified the differential expression of the lncRNAs by RT-qPCR in HBE and human normal lung epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells.

Exosomal circCLIP1 regulates PM-induced airway obstruction via targeting SEPT10 in vitro.

Fine particulate matter (PM) exposure correlates with airway obstruction, but the mechanism remains to be fully elucidated. We aim to investigate the role of exosomal circular RNAs (circRNAs)-mediated communication between airway epithelial cells and airway smooth muscle cells in PM-induced airway obstruction. RNA sequencing revealed that acute PM exposure altered the expression profiles of 2904 exosomal circRNAs.

Circadian signatures of anterior hypothalamus in time-restricted feeding.

Meal timing resets circadian clocks in peripheral tissues, such as the liver, in seven days without affecting the phase of the central clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus. Anterior hypothalamus plays an essential role in energy metabolism, circadian rhythm, and stress response. However, it remains to be elucidated whether and how anterior hypothalamus adapts its circadian rhythms to meal timing.

Chlorinated Organophosphate Flame Retardants Impair the Lung Function via the IL-6/JAK/STAT Signaling Pathway.

Toxicological studies have revealed the adverse impacts of organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) on the respiratory system, while there is a lack of epidemiological evidence, and information for risk assessment remains insufficient. Herein, we investigated the associations of urinary metabolites of OPFRs with the lung function in 987 adults participating in the U.S.

[Feeding rhythm entrains circadian metabolism genes, but not the circadian clock, in brown adipose tissue].

The central circadian clock and feeding rhythm coordinately reset peripheral circadian clocks. Emerging evidence suggests that feeding rhythm resets peripheral circadian clocks in a tissue-specific manner. This study aimed to determine whether and how feeding rhythm regulates circadian rhythms of the circadian clock and metabolic genes in brown adipose tissue (BAT).

Knockdown of hepatocyte Perilipin-3 mitigates hepatic steatosis and steatohepatitis caused by hepatocyte CGI-58 deletion in mice.

Comparative gene identification-58 (CGI-58), also known as α/β hydrolase domain containing 5, is the co-activator of adipose triglyceride lipase that hydrolyzes triglycerides stored in the cytosolic lipid droplets. Mutations in CGI-58 gene cause Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome (CDS), an autosomal recessive neutral lipid storage disease with ichthyosis. The liver pathology of CDS manifests as steatosis and steatohepatitis, which currently has no effective treatments.
