Objective: To determine whether polymorphisms of the maternal glucocorticoid-related genes (HSD11B1 and HSD11B2) are associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) in a haplotype-based case-control study.
Methods: A total of 166 PIH patients and 222 age-matched controls were genotyped, with two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for the HSD11B1 gene (rs2235543 and rs846910) and three SNPs for the HSD11B2 gene (rs12920590, rs45483293 and rs3743729) used as genetic markers. After separation into preeclampsia (PE) and gestational hypertension (GH) subgroups, PIH patients were assessed.
Results: Significant differences were noted between PE and control groups (p = 0.022, p = 0.034, respectively) for the frequency of genotypes and alleles for rs846910 of HSD11B1. The frequency of the AA genotype of rs846910 was significantly higher in PIH and PE groups compared to controls. Logistic regression analyses showed that this genotype was a risk factor for PIH and PE (adjusted OR 2.9, 95% CI 1.3-6.5 and adjusted OR 3.2, 95% CI 1.4-7.4, respectively). The frequency of the T-A haplotype established by rs2235543-rs846910 was also significantly higher in PIH and PE groups (p = 0.045, p = 0.042, respectively).
Conclusion: rs846910 in the HSD11B1 gene could be a marker for hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. The T-A haplotype constructed by rs2235543-rs846910 was also a useful susceptibility marker for PIH and PE.

Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanism of lipid metabolism disorder in mouse spleen tissues due to high-altitude hypoxia.
Methods: Ten C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into normoxia group (maintained at an altitude of 400 m) and high-altitude hypoxia group (maintained at 4200 m) for 30 days (=5). Lipidomics and metabolomics analyses of the spleen tissue of the mice were conducted using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to identify the differential metabolites, which were further analyzed by KEGG enrichment and pathway analyses, and the differential genes were screened through transcriptome sequencing.

Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone that has immunosuppressive function. Elevated basal cortisol levels are present in patients with some kinds of cancers, but its role in the microenvironment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) remains unclear. This study analyzed the expression of genes involved in cortisol generation by using high-throughput sequencing data from TCGA portal and found HSD11B1 was significantly upregulated in patients with PAAD.

Red light (RL) has been observed to enhance egg production in pigeons, yet the underlying histological characteristics and molecular mechanisms remain less understood. This study included fifty-four pigeons to assess follicular histology, reproductive hormones, and ovarian transcriptomics on the third day of the laying interval under RL and white light (WL). The results showed that the granulosa cell layer was significantly thicker under RL ( < 0.

Article Synopsis
- - Trachoma is the leading cause of infectious blindness worldwide, particularly affecting indigenous Mayan populations in Chiapas, Mexico, and is linked to genetic factors that may increase the risk of developing severe cases.
- - A study involving 51 individuals with late-stage trachoma and 102 controls identified specific genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) related to inflammation, particularly in genes like BIRC3 and ABCG2, that correlate with heightened risk of the disease.
- - Key findings indicate that certain alleles, specifically the T allele of rs11807619, the C allele of rs932335, and the D allele of rs4340 in the ACE gene, are significantly associated with increased risk of late-stage tr
