We have previously shown that exogenous fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) inhibits apoptosis of the small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell line NCI-H446, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, the protein profiles of FGF-2-treated and untreated NCI-H446 cells were determined by 2-D gel electrophoresis combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and bioinformatics. Differential expression analysis of the protein profiles after FGF-2 treatment identified a total of 24 protein spots, of which nine were up-regulated and 15 were down-regulated. Four proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS: thioredoxin (TRX), visfatin, ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) and Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD). Western blotting revealed that TRX was up-regulated in NCI-H446 and A549 cells treated with FGF-2. Furthermore, immunohistochemical staining confirmed that both FGF-2 and TRX were overexpressed in lung cancer tissues and could be correlated with both lymph node metastasis and clinical stage. These data indicate that TRX may be involved in the FGF-2 signaling pathway.

Sperm small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs), such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), have been found to have implications for male fertility and play a role in the intergenerational transmission of specific phenotypes by influencing the early embryo's physiological processes in various animal species. This study postulates that there exists a correlation between sperm small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) and bull fertility, which in turn can influence the fertility of offspring through the modulation of early embryo development. To investigate this hypothesis, we generated comparative libraries of sperm sncRNAs from sires exhibiting high (n = 3) versus low bull fertility (n = 3), as well as high (n = 3) versus low daughter fertility (n = 3), as determined by the industry-standard Bull fertility index and Daughter fertility index.

Thioredoxin plays an important role in inhibiting apoptosis and protecting cells from oxidative stress. This study was aimed to clarify how the expression of Trx from Cristaria plicata is regulated by Nrf2/ARE pathway. The expression of CpTrx mRNA was significantly up-regulated in gill and kidney tissues under microcystin stress.
