GLTSCR2 is a nuclear/nucleolar protein that translocates to the nucleoplasm, suppressed and mutated in human cancers. Our aim in this study was to investigate whether downregulation or cytoplasmic expression of GLTSCR2 has any pathological significance in prostatic cancer development or progression. In this study we show that GLTSCR2 is suppressed in prostatic cancers and its expression is significantly associated with Gleason's scores. Furthermore, we investigated the pathogenetic mechanism of downregulation and cytoplasmic expression of GLTSCR2 in development or progression of prostatic cancers. Taken together, our results indicate that GLTSCR2 functions as a tumor suppressor in prostatic adenocarcinomas.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and immune dysregulation. This study is aimed at developing a risk prediction model for AD by integrating multi-omics data and exploring the interplay between mitochondrial energy metabolism-related genes (MEMRGs) and immune cell dynamics. We integrated four GEO datasets (GSE132903, GSE29378, GSE33000, GSE5281) for differential gene expression analysis, functional enrichment, and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA).

Obesity poses a global health challenge, demanding a deeper understanding of adipose tissue (AT) and its mitochondria. This study describes the role of the mitochondrial protein Methylation-controlled J protein (MCJ/DnaJC15) in orchestrating brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis. Here we show how MCJ expression decreases during obesity, as evident in human and mouse adipose tissue samples.

Cytoplasmic viruses interact intricately with the nuclear pore complex and nuclear import/export machineries, affecting nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking. This can lead to the selective accumulation of nuclear RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in the cytoplasm. Pioneering research has shown that relocated RBPs serve as an intrinsic defence mechanism against viruses, which involves RNA export, splicing and nucleolar factors.

Virtually all mRNAs acquire a poly(A) tail co-transcriptionally, but its length is dynamically regulated in the cytoplasm in a transcript-specific manner. The length of the poly(A) tail plays a crucial role in determining mRNA translation, stability, and localization. This dynamic regulation of poly(A) tail length is widely used to create post-transcriptional gene expression programs, allowing for precise temporal and spatial control.

Cell proliferation is a fundamental characteristic of organisms, driven by the holistic functions of multiple proteins encoded in the genome. However, the individual contributions of thousands of genes and the millions of protein molecules they express to cell proliferation are still not fully understood, even in simple eukaryotes. Here, we present a genome-wide translation map of cells during proliferation in the unicellular alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae, based on the sequencing of ribosome-protected messenger RNA fragments.
