Objective: To explore the effect of LRRC4, a glioma suppressive gene, on blocking U251 cells in G0/G1 by MAPK signaling pathway.
Methods: LRRC4 was transfected into U251 cells, and at 24 hour of post-transfection, cells were split at a 1:3 dilution, challenged with 500 microg /mL G418 and formed a stable transfected clone pool. RT-PCR, Northern blot and Western blot were used to identify the stable transfectants. ERK, JNK and P38 expression changes were analyzed by Western blot. FACS analysis, Luciferase reporter gene assay and Western blot were used to detect the cell cycle and cyclin D1.
Results: LRRC4 down-regulated the expression of phosphorylated ERK2 and up-regulated the expression of total protein JNK2 (a key molecule of MAPK signaling pathway) and phosphorylated c-Jun. LRRC4 decreased the expression of mutation P53, cyclin D1 activation and its expression. U251 cells were blocked in G0/G1 by LRRC4.
Conclusion: LRRC4 can decrease JNK2, up-regulate the phosphoralated c-Jun, down-regulate mutant P53 and cyclin D1, and therefore block U251 cells in G0/G1.

Sevoflurane's potential impact on cognitive function and neurodevelopment, especially in susceptible populations such as infants and the elderly, has raised widespread concern. This study focuses on how sevoflurane induces ferroptosis in astrocytes and identifies solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) as a mediator of ferroptosis, providing new insights into sevoflurane-related neurotoxic pathways. We analysed single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from sevoflurane-exposed mice and control mice, supplemented with bulk RNA-seq data, to assess gene expression alterations.

In order to enrich the selection of biological ligands, realize the miniaturization analysis, and broaden the application of monolith materials for active ingredients screening and separating, we sough to construct a lipid raft @capillary monolith microcolumn affinity chromatography model. Single factor experiments and various characterization methods, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis, were employed to investigate the polymerization of the monolith column under different material ratios to determine optimal preparation conditions. Subsequently, the lipid raft from U251 cells was integrated with the monolith materials based on epoxy-based covalent crosslinking principle and characterized through SEM and immunofluorescence methods.

Doublecortin (DCX) is a microtubule-associated protein known to be a key regulator of neuronal migration and differentiation during brain development. However, the role of DCX, particularly in regulating the survival and growth of glioma cells, remains unclear. In this study, we utilized CRISPR/Cas9 technology to knock down DCX in the human glioma cell line (U251).

The Hippo pathway plays a tumorigenic role in highly angiogenic glioblastoma (GBM), whereas little is known about clinically relevant Hippo pathway inhibitors' ability to target adaptive mechanisms involved in GBM chemoresistance. Their molecular impact was investigated here in vitro against an alternative process to tumour angiogenesis termed vasculogenic mimicry (VM) in GBM-derived cell models. In silico analysis of the downstream Hippo signalling members YAP1, TAZ and TEAD1 transcript levels in low-grade glioblastoma (LGG) and GBM tumour tissues was performed using GEPIA.

Glioblastoma (GB) is the most prevalent and aggressive primary brain tumor with fatal outcome due to a lack of effective treatments. We previously identified C1q-tumor necrosis factor-related protein 8 (CTRP8), a new member of the adiponectin family, as a novel agonist of the relaxin family peptide receptor 1 (RXFP1) and showed that the CTRP8-RXFP1 ligand-receptor system facilitates increased invasiveness and chemoresistance in GB cells. In the present study, we have investigated the role of the CTRP8-RXFP1 signaling axis in glioma progression using an orthotopic mouse model xenografted with human U251 glioma cells stably expressing CTRP8 and RXFP1.
