Identification and Bioactivity Analysis of a Novel Species, sp. nov. Bos-x6-28, Isolated from Feces of the Yak ().

The identification of novel bacterial species from the intestines of yaks residing on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is pivotal in advancing our understanding of host-microbiome interactions and represents a promising avenue for microbial drug discovery. In this study, we conducted a polyphasic taxonomic analysis and bioactive assays on a strain, designated Bos-x6-28, isolated from yak feces. The findings revealed that strain Bos-x6-28 shares a high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.

Cytoplasmic localization of SETDB1‑induced Warburg effect via c‑MYC‑LDHA axis enhances migration and invasion in breast carcinoma.

SET domain bifurcated 1 (SETDB1), a pivotal histone lysine methyltransferase, is transported to the cytoplasm via a chromosome region maintenance 1 (CMR1)‑dependent pathway, contributing to non‑histone methylation. However, the function and underlying mechanism of cytoplasmic SETDB1 in breast cancer remain elusive. In the present study, immunohistochemistry revealed that elevated cytoplasmic SETDB1 was correlated with lymph node metastasis and more aggressive breast cancer subtypes.

Temperature Effects on Nonlinear Ultrasonic Guided Waves.

Nonlinear ultrasonic guided waves have attracted increasing attention in the field of structural health monitoring due to their high sensitivity and long detection distance. In practical applications, the temperature of the tested structure will inevitably change, so it is essential to evaluate the effects of temperature on nonlinear ultrasonic guided waves. In this paper, an analytical approach is proposed to obtain the response law of nonlinear guided waves to temperature based on the semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) method.

Correlation Between Immune Cell Infiltration and PD-L1 Expression and Immune-Related lncRNA Determination in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

As a key element of the tumor microenvironment (TME), immune cell infiltration (ICI) is a frequently observed histologic finding in people with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and it is linked to immunotherapy sensitivity. Nonetheless, the ICI in TNBC, to the best of our knowledge, has not been comprehensively characterized. In our current work, computational algorithms based on biological data from next-generation sequencing were employed to characterize ICI in a large cohort of TNBC patients.

Induction of Myocardial Infarction and Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Mice.

Acute myocardial infarction is a common cardiovascular disease with high mortality. Myocardial reperfusion injury can counteract the beneficial effects of heart reflow and induce secondary myocardial injury. A simple and reproducible model of myocardial infarction and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is a good tool for researchers.

[Treatment of psoriasis vulgaris using Bacteroides fragilis BF839: a single-arm, open preliminary clinical study].

Psoriasis is considered as an inflammatory disease driven by T cells, and its pathogenesis is closely related to the imbalance of intestinal bacteria flora. It has been reported that Bacteroides fragilis could play an anti-inflammatory role by regulating the expression of cytokines in T cells. To date, there is no report using B.

NLRP3 Inflammasome: Checkpoint Connecting Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Autoimmune Diseases.

Autoimmune diseases are a broad spectrum of human diseases that are characterized by the breakdown of immune tolerance and the production of autoantibodies. Recently, dysfunction of innate and adaptive immunity is considered to be a key step in the initiation and maintenance of autoimmune diseases. NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a multimeric protein complex, which can detect exogenous pathogen irritants and endogenous danger signals.

A Novel Seam Tracking Technique with a Four-Step Method and Experimental Investigation of Robotic Welding Oriented to Complex Welding Seam.

The seam tracking operation is essential for extracting welding seam characteristics which can instruct the motion of a welding robot along the welding seam path. The chief tasks for seam tracking would be divided into three partitions. First, starting and ending points detection, then, weld edge detection, followed by joint width measurement, and, lastly, welding path position determination with respect to welding robot co-ordinate frame.

A novel plasmid from Aerococcus urinaeequi of porcine origin co-harboring the tetracycline resistance genes tet(58) and tet(61).

Tetracyclines are the broad-spectrum agents used in veterinary medicine and food animal production. Known mechanisms of tetracycline resistance include ribosome protection, active efflux and enzymatic inactivation. However, the presence of two different tet genes conferring different resistance mechanisms on the same plasmid has rarely been reported.

Establishment of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (SAHGMUi001-A) from a patient with Netherton syndrome carrying SPINK5 mutation.

Netherton syndrome (NS) is a rare, autosomal recessive hereditary skin disease caused by mutations in SPINK5 gene, characterized with severe skin barrier damage. A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line has been established with electroporation method from urine-derived cells of a NS patient carrying a compound heterozygous mutation c.2260A > T (p.

High SET Domain Bifurcated 1 (SETDB1) Expression Predicts Poor Prognosis in Breast Carcinoma.

BACKGROUND SETDB1, an H3K9-specific histone methyltransferase, plays important roles in the progression of various human cancers. However, the expression patterns and its clinical roles of SETDB1 remain elusive in breast cancer (BC). MATERIAL AND METHODS The transcriptional level of SETDB1 and survival data in BC were analyzed through UALCAN, ONCOMINE, and Pan Cancer Prognostics Database.

SETDB1 induces epithelial‑mesenchymal transition in breast carcinoma by directly binding with Snail promoter.

SET domain bifurcated 1 (SETDB1) is a histone H3 lysine 9 methyltransferase that is highly expressed in various tumor types, including breast cancer. However, how SETDB1 functions in breast cancer is unclear. In the present study, proliferation, migration and invasion assays were performed to explore the role of SETDB1 in breast cancer cells.

Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular A6 overexpression is a novel biomarker of poor prognosis in patients with breast cancer.

Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular A6 (EphA6) is a member of the Eph receptor tyrosine kinase family, which has been implicated in tumorigenesis. However, little is known about the expression and function of EphA6 in breast cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of EphA6 and the possible association between EphA6 and clinicopathological characteristics in breast cancer.

HCRP1 inhibits TGF-β induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma-related protein 1 (HCRP1), also known as human vacuolar protein sorting 37 homologue A (hVps37A), has not been detected or is significantly downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues. However, information on the regulatory mechanisms of HCRP1 in HCC remains unclear. Here we found that the downregulation of HCRP1 in HepG2 cells (with low invasion capacity) significantly enhanced migration and invasion, whereas HCRP1 upregulation in SMMC-7721 cells (with high invasion capacity) generated the opposite result.
