Objective: In published studies, Y-box binding protein-1 (YB-1) correlated with the prognosis of patients with breast cancer (BC), but the specific role of YB-1 is still unclear. Our study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of YB-1 in BC patients using meta-analysis based on the published studies.
Methods: We searched the relevant literatures deadline for June 2014 in databases, including PubMed, Embase, Medline and Cochrane library, and finally 8 studies were included in our study. Our study contained 1094 BC patients with 398 YB-1 positive and 696 YB-1 negative.
Results: Our results showed that YB-1 abnormal expression did not correlated with the lymph node status [OR = 1.258, 95% CI = 0.895-1.769, P = 0.186], high histological grade [OR = 2.709, 95% CI = 0.861-8.530, P = 0.089], histological type [OR = 0.837, 95% CI = 0.526-1.331, P = 0.452], P53 status [OR = 2.006, 95% CI 0.686-5.865, P = 0.203] and PR [OR = 0.607, 95% CI = 0.347-1.061, P = 0.080] in BC patients. But YB-1 over-expression was associated with other unfavorable factors: ER negativity [OR = 0.604, 95% CI = 0.388-0.941, P = 0.026], HER2 positivity [OR = 3.841, 95% CI = 2.637-5.594, P = 0.000], and high tumorous T stage [OR = 2.169, 95% CI = 1.295-3.632, P = 0.003]. In addition, our data suggested that high YB-1 expression had an adverse impact on 5-year OS [RR = 2.767, 95% CI = 2.054-3.727, P = 0.000] in BC patients.
Conclusions: Our findings implied that YB-1 might a novel biomarker to predict the prognosis of BC, and could be a potential direction for developing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in BC.

Background: Interactions between RNA-binding proteins and RNA regulate RNA transcription during osteoporosis. Ferroptosis, a programmed cell death caused by iron metabolism, plays a vital role in osteoporosis. However, the mechanisms by which RNA-binding proteins are involved in ferroptosis during osteoporosis remain unclear.

Charge generation layers (CGLs) play crucial roles in determining the electroluminescence (EL) performance of tandem organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, acquiring negligible voltage drops across the CGL unit and high-efficiency multiplications remains challenging. Here, we propose barrier-free strategies to compose a high-performance p-i-n type CGL intermediate by introducing a Yb/HI-9 modification at the heterojunction and a novel n-dopant, Yb:1,3-bis(9-phenyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl)benzene (mdPPhen), as the n-CGL.

It has been shown that 5-methylcytosine (m5C), one of the most abundant modifications on RNA, regulates various biological processes. However, the function of m5C modification in the nervous system is still largely unknown. Here, we show that the m5C reader Ybx1 is highly expressed in the developing mouse hippocampus in the central nervous system (CNS).

DNA-binding protein A (DbpA) belongs to the Y-box family of cold shock domain (CSD) proteins that bind RNA/DNA and exert intracellular functions in cell stress, proliferation, and differentiation. Given the pattern of DbpA staining in inflammatory glomerular diseases, without adherence to cell boundaries, we hypothesized extracellular protein occurrence and specific functions. Lipopolysaccharide and ionomycin induce DbpA expression and secretion from melanoma and mesangial cells.
