The survival prediction analysis and preliminary study of the biological function of YEATS2 in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Cell Oncol (Dordr)

December 2024

Hunan Key Laboratory of Cancer Metabolism, Hunan Cancer Hospital and The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, 410013, China.

Purpose: Our study aims to develop and validate a novel molecular marker for the prognosis and diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) MATERIALS & METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed mRNA expression profile and clinicopathological data of HCC patients fetched from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) datasets. Univariate Cox regression analysis was performed to collect differentially expressed mRNA (DEmRNAs) from HCC and non-tumor tissues, and YEATS2, a prognostic marker, was identified by further analysis. ROC curve, survival analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis as well as nomograms were used to evaluate the prognosis of this gene.

Complex genetic architecture is the major cause of heterogeneity in epilepsy, which poses challenges for accurate diagnosis and precise treatment. A large number of epilepsy candidate genes have been identified from clinical studies, particularly with the widespread use of next-generation sequencing. Validating these candidate genes is emerging as a valuable yet challenging task.

Introduction: The placental vascular system plays an important role in the development of pregnancy hypertension in preeclampsia. The gene profiles of whole placental tissue (containing blood vessels and many other structural components) and pure vascular tissue should be very different. All previous reports using RNA-seq analysis in the placenta have tested its whole tissue or the villous part, and thus the gene profiles in the pure placental blood vessels are unknown.

The development of hooded awns in barley: From ectopic Kap1 expression to yield potential.

Gene

January 2025

College of Eco-environmental Engineering, Qinghai University, Xining 810016, Qinghai, China. Electronic address:

Awns in barley have different shapes including awnless, straight, hooded, crooked, and leafy awns. The hooded awns are characterized by an appendage of the lemma, which forms a trigonal or cap-shaped structure, and even blossoms and yields fruits on barley awn. In the lemma primordia of wild-type (straight awn), cells divide and elongate to form the straight awn.
