Skeletal muscle has an important role in whole body energy metabolism and various proteases are involved in skeletal muscle functions. We have previously identified the cysteine protease legumain in cultured human skeletal muscle cells. However, the potential role of legumain in regulation of energy metabolism remains unexplored.

VPS28 (vacuolar protein sorting 28) is a subunit of the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRTs) and is involved in ubiquitination. Ubiquitination is a critical system for protein degradation in eukaryotes. Considering the recent findings on the role of ubiquitination in the regulation of lipid metabolism, we hypothesized that VPS28 might affect the expression of genes involved in milk fat synthesis.

Our study examined the relationships and interactions among 30 genes related to the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. We identified 368 interconnections between these 30 genes, with NLRP3 participating in 38 interactions. The potential roles of these genes in atherosclerosis were evaluated based on protein-protein interaction networks and coexpression analysis.

Ninety-nine percent of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) in the human body is distributed in erythrocytes. However, the role that α-syn plays in erythropoiesis remains unclear. To determine the effect of α-syn on erythroid differentiation, the erythroid cells, derived from human CD34+ progenitors in the umbilical cord, were cultured in a system composed of a series of cytokines and harvested after 6 days.

Lipid metabolism plays an important role in the regulation of early embryonic development in mammals. However, the effect of lipid metabolism mediated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) on the early embryonic development of sheep remains unclear. In this study, rosiglitazone (RSG), a PPARγ activator, was added to the in vitro embryo culture (IVC) medium to regulate the continuous expression of PPARγ.
