Identification and investigation of protein-related molecules in patients with hyperlipidemia using label-free combined with bioinformatics analysis.

This study aimed to identify proteins associated with high-fat diet patients and investigate their relationship with this dietary pattern. Five hyperlipidemia female patients and five normal individuals were included as the experiment and control groups, respectively. Blood samples were collected from both groups, and bioinformatics tools were employed for gene ontology annotation, KEGG pathway annotation, GO enrichment analysis, pathway enrichment analysis, and protein clustering to pinpoint genes, proteins, and pathways relevant to high-fat diet patients.

IGF2BP2 promotes the progression of ovarian endometriosis by regulating m6A-modified MEIS2 and GATA6.

Background: m6A-RNA modification mediated by the N6-methyladenosine RNA methylation-related molecule methyltransferase-like 3 has been implicated in the progression of endometriosis. However, the functions of other m6A regulators, especially in ovarian endometriosis, remain unknown.

Methods: Three datasets (GSE7305, GSE7307, and GSE37837) with diagnosed ovarian endometriosis were extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.

Progesterone rise on hCG day is negatively correlated with IVF-ET outcomes in natural cycles.

Objective: To investigate the effect of progesterone rise on hCG day on the laboratory and clinical outcomes in natural cycles and to explore the possible factors related to the occurrence of progesterone elevation.

Patients And Study Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed in 1157 infertile women with decreased ovarian reserve. Eligible infertile women undergoing IVF in natural cycles were assigned to four groups according to serum progesterone levels on the day of hCG administration: group 1, P<2nmol/L; group 2, 2 View Article and Find Full Text PDF

Smad3/4 Binding to Promoter II of P450arom So As to Regulate Aromatase Expression in Endometriosis.

Activin A can stimulate aromatase P450 (P450arom) expression in eutopic endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) of endometriosis by activin type I receptor-Smad pathway. In order to identify Smad3/4 binding to P450arom promoter II that mediates activin A response in ESCs, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products of a serial truncated deletion of the P450arom promoter II region between -904 and +87 bp were inserted into the pGL3-basic vector to generate the promoter reporter plasmids. Luciferase reporter plasmids were cotransfected into cells with or without activin A (25 ng/mL).

Knockdown of prohibitin expression promotes glucose metabolism in eutopic endometrial stromal cells from women with endometriosis.

In this in-vitro study, the effect of prohibitin (PHB) on glucose metabolism in eutopic endometrial stromal cells from women with endometriosis was investigated. Endometrial stromal cells were isolated from endometrium in women with endometriosis, in women without endometriosis, or from endometrioma tissues. Glucose metabolic phenotype of stromal cells were examined in vitro.

Adenosine as an endogenous regulating factor of hippocampal sharp waves.

The rodent hippocampus exhibits population activities called sharp waves (SPWs) during slow wave sleep and wake immobility. SPWs are important for hippocampal-cortical communication and memory consolidation, and abnormal sharp wave-ripple complexes are closely related to epileptic seizures. Although the SPWs are known to arise from the CA3 circuit, the local mechanisms underlying their generation are not fully understood.
