The diversity of tet(S) genetic contexts of 13 enterococci from human, animal, and environmental samples from different geographical areas is reported. The tet(S) gene was linked to either CTn6000 variants of chromosomal location or composite platforms flanked by IS1216 located on plasmids (∼40 to 115 kb). The comparative analysis of all tet(S) genetic elements available in the GenBank databases suggests that CTn6000 might be the origin of a variety of tet(S)-carrying platforms that were mobilized to different plasmids.

Background: Acquisition of stem-like properties requires overcoming the epigenetic barrier of differentiation and re-expression of several genes involved in stemness and the cell cycle. DNA methylation is the classic epigenetic mechanism for de/differentiation. The writers and erasers of DNA methylation are not site-specific enzymes for altering specific gene methylation.

Background: Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are infrequent malignancies that arise from the anterior mediastinum. Therapeutic options for TETs, especially thymic carcinoma (TC), remain relatively constrained. This study aims to investigate the oncogenic hub gene and its underlying mechanisms in TETs, as well as to identify potential therapeutic targets.

Introduction: Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are rare neoplasms typically located in the anterior mediastinum. While immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) show promise for advanced or refractory TETs, their clinical application is hindered by heterogeneous responses across TET subtypes, lack of reliable predictive markers, and the risk of immune-related adverse events (irAEs).
Methods: We analyzed TCGA, GEO, and GTEx databases to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among three TET subtypes.

To investigate DNA methylation levels of a panel of genes in thymic epithelial tumors (TETs). We selected 15 genes among the most promising epigenetic biomarkers of TETs and evaluated their methylation levels in 71 TET samples. thymic carcinomas (TCs) showed hypermethylation of and genes and reduced methylation levels compared with thymomas (TMs) and healthy thymic tissues.

Tetrandrine (TET) is a minimally toxic drug extracted from the root of Stephania tetrandra. We previously demonstrated that TET could ameliorate pulmonary fibrosis (PF) by modulating autophagy. However, the mechanism behind TET's protective effects on PF remains unclear.
