By the method of single preimplantation embryos differential display polymerase chain reaction (SPEDDRT-PCR), 25 reprogramming cDNA fragments were obtained from single 2-cell, 8-cell embryos and blastula. After cloning and sequencing, five of them were identified by reverse-Northern and characterized with stage-specific expression during reconstructed embryo development. This results will help to isolate full length reprogramming genes and study their function during embryonic development.

Glioma is a common and destructive brain tumor, which is highly heterogeneous with poor prognosis. Developing diagnostic and prognostic markers to identify and treat glioma early would significantly improve the therapeutic outcomes. Here, we conducted RNA next-generation sequencing with 33 glioma samples and 15 normal brain samples.

Upon infection, human papillomavirus (HPV) manipulates host cell gene expression to create an environment that is supportive of a productive and persistent infection. The virus-induced changes to the host cell's transcriptome are thought to contribute to carcinogenesis. Here, we show by RNA-sequencing that oncogenic HPV18 episome replication in primary human foreskin keratinocytes (HFKs) drives host transcriptional changes that are consistent between multiple HFK donors.

Background: Recent research has highlighted lactate's crucial role in epigenetic regulation, particularly by influencing histone modifications that drive the initiation and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). While mitochondria are known to regulate tumor behavior, the interaction between lactate metabolism and mitochondrial function in cancer tissues remains underexplored. Understanding this relationship may provide deeper insights into tumor metabolic reprogramming and reveal novel therapeutic targets for HCC and other malignancies.

Introduction: Macrophages exhibit marked phenotypic heterogeneity within and across disease states, with lipid metabolic reprogramming contributing to macrophage activation and heterogeneity. Chronic inflammation has been observed in human benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tissues, however macrophage activation states and their contributions to this hyperplastic disease have not been defined. We postulated that a shift in macrophage phenotypes with increasing prostate size could involve metabolic alterations resulting in prostatic epithelial or stromal hyperplasia.

Background: Bladder cancer (BCa) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, and its prognostication and treatment remains challenging. The fast growth of various cancer cells requires reprogramming of its energy metabolism using aerobic glycolysis as a major energy source. However, the prognostic and therapeutic value of glycolysis-related genes in BCa remains to be determined.
