Altered cysteine dioxygenase 1 (CDO1) gene expression has been observed in several cancers but has not yet been investigated in liposarcomas. The aim of this study was to evaluate CDO1 expression in a cohort of liposarcomas and to determine its association with clinicopathological features. Existing microarray data indicated variable CDO1 expression in liposarcoma subtypes. CDO1 mRNA from a larger cohort of liposarcomas was quantified by real time-PCR, and CDO1 protein expression was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in more than 300 tumor specimens. Well-differentiated liposarcomas (WDLSs) had significantly higher CDO1 gene expression and protein levels than dedifferentiated liposarcomas (DDLSs) (P < 0.001). Location of the tumor was not predictive of the expression level of CDO1 mRNA in any histological subtype of liposarcoma. Recurrent tumors did not show any difference in CDO1 expression when compared to primary tumors. CDO1 expression was upregulated as human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) undergo differentiation into mature adipocytes. Our results suggest that CDO1 is a marker of liposarcoma progression and adipogenic differentiation.

Metagenomic and Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Crosstalk Between Intratumor Mycobiome and Hosts in Early-Stage Nonsmoking Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients.

Background: The mycobiome in the tumor microenvironment of non-smokers with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (ES-LUAD) has been minimally investigated.
Methods: In this study, we conducted ultra-deep metagenomic and transcriptomic sequencing on 128 samples collected from 46 nonsmoking ES-LUAD patients and 41 healthy controls (HC), aiming to characterize the tumor-resident mycobiome and its interactions with the host.
Results: The results revealed that ES-LUAD patients exhibited fungal dysbiosis characterized by reduced species diversity and significant imbalances in specific fungal abundances.
Bile acid sequestrant inhibits gluconeogenesis via inducing hepatic cysteine dioxygenase type 1 to reduce cysteine availability.

Bile acid sequestrants such as cholestyramine (ChTM) are gut-restricted bile acid binding resins that block intestine bile acid absorption and attenuate hepatic bile acid signaling. Bile acid sequestrants induce hepatic bile acid synthesis to promote cholesterol catabolism and are cholesterol lowering drugs. Bile acid sequestrants also reduce blood glucose in clinical trials and are approved drugs for treating hyperglycemia in type-2 diabetes.

Article Synopsis
- Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) supplementation can improve oocyte quality and help overcome issues in early embryo development in pigs.
- Our study analyzed various tissues (brain, liver, heart) to see how mtDNA supplementation affects metabolites and gene expression, revealing that mtDNA supplementation alters these profiles between pigs given their own DNA versus those receiving foreign (heterologous) DNA.
- Notably, different metabolites were affected in each tissue type, and the changes seem to be linked to a rebalancing of the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes in embryos, leading to broader consequences on metabolism and gene expression.

Taurine, biosynthesized from methionine or cysteine in the liver, plays a crucial regulatory role in bile acid conjugation, antioxidant effects, and glucose and cholesterol metabolism. This may influence the metabolic changes associated with fat accumulation in beef cattle. However, the physiological role of taurine in this species has not been fully elucidated.

Background: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been shown to mediate ferroptosis but its role in atherosclerosis (AS) is unclear.
Methods: Differentially expressed m6A-associated ferroptosis-related genes (DE-m6A-Ferr-RGs) were obtained using differential expression analysis and Pearson correlation analysis. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was also performed.
