Several novel catechin/epicatechin and nucleobase chimeric molecules 1-6 have been synthesized via azide-alkyne click chemistry. The structures of these hybrids have been confirmed by NMR and mass spectroscopic data. The synthesized molecules were tested for their RNase A inhibition activities. Gel-based assays showed inhibition in micromolar concentrations. The extent of inhibition was found to be dependent upon the nature of base as well as the configuration at C-3 position of catechin.

Coccidiosis, a parasitic disease caused by Eimeria protozoa that parasitizes intestinal tissues of chicken, poses a challenge to the development of the poultry industry. circRNAs are a class of circular RNA macromolecules crucial in the immune response to pathogens. Previous studies have shown that gga-miR-2954 inhibits the inflammatory response to Eimeria tenella (E.

The RNA-binding protein hnRNPA2B1 acts as an m6A reader and plays a role in tumor development. This study investigates the potential mechanism of hnRNPA2B1 in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. The expression profiles of hnRNPA2B1, circCDYL, and PHF8 in CRC cell lines were analyzed.

The specific expression profile and function of circular RNA (circRNA) in follicular atresia remain largely unknown. Here, the circRNA expression profiles of granulosa cells derived from healthy follicles (HFs) and antral follicles (AFs) in buffalo were analyzed by RNA-seq, and the mechanism of a differentially expressed circRNA (DEcircRNA) circTEC regulating the granulosa cell function that affects follicular atresia was further explored. RNA-seq results showed that a total of 112 DEcircRNAs were identified.

Objectives: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a significant risk factor for cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, for which there is currently no effective treatment. This study aimed to investigate the regulatory mechanism between endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) and pyroptosis in the liver under the context of MASH.
Methods And Results: Pyroptosis was examined in both in vivo and in vitro ER stress models.
