Objective: To investigate the expression of full-length spleen tyrosine kinase [SYK (L)] mRNA and protein in human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) as well as its possible effects on the invasion and metastasis of OSCC.

Methods: The expression of SYK (L) was detected in 27 cases of OSCC tissues and its matched adjacent non-cancerous tissues by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. Fourteen cases of normal oral gingival tissues were also analyzed as a normal control.

Results: Reduced mRNA and protein expression of SYK (L) in OSCC tissues was observed compared with that in normal oral gingival tissues (P<0.01) and adjacent non-cancerous tissues (P<0.05). SYK(L) expression was significantly associated with lymph-node metastasis (P<0.05).

Conclusion: SYK(L) is a candidate tumor suppressor for OSCC tissues, and has an inhibitive effect on the initiation, proliferation, and lymph-node metastasis of human OSCC.

Expression Profiles of Housekeeping Genes and Tissue-Specific Genes in Different Tissues of Chinese Sturgeon ().

Animals (Basel)

November 2024

The Chinese sturgeon () is an ancient, complex autooctoploid fish species that is currently facing conservation challenges throughout its distribution. To comprehensively characterize the expression profiles of genes and their associated biological functions across different tissues, we performed a transcriptome-scale gene expression analysis, focusing on housekeeping genes (HKGs), tissue-specific genes (TSGs), and co-expressed gene modules in various tissues. We collected eleven tissues to establish a transcriptomic repository, including data from Pacific Biosciences isoform sequencing (PacBio Iso-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and then obtained 25,434 full-length transcripts, with lengths from 307 to 9515 bp and an N50 of 3195 bp.

Background: Tongxieyaofang (TXYF) was a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula for the treatment of diarrhea with liver stagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome, but the potential targets and mechanisms have not been fully clarified. This study aims to explore the potential mechanisms of TXYF in alleviating diarrhea using network pharmacology and full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Methods: Network pharmacology was applied to identify bioactive compounds and potential targets involved in the role of TXYF in alleviating diarrhea.

Article Synopsis
  • Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) help regulate cellular processes in eukaryotes, including inhibiting viral replication through autophagy, but PI3K's role in common carp remains unexplored.
  • Researchers successfully cloned a full-length PI3K gene from common carp, which shows significant similarity to a related gene in yellow catfish and is primarily expressed in the liver, spleen, and head kidney.
  • The study found that the PI3K mRNA expression levels were significantly higher in CyHV-3-resistant carp compared to non-resistant carp during early stages of infection, suggesting its potential importance in the fish's immune response against this virus.

Cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS) caused by piscine myocarditis virus (PMCV) has emerged with the rise of the aquaculture of Atlantic salmon (). The lack of cell culture cultivation has hampered the study of this infection. In this study, samples from naturally PMCV-infected Atlantic salmon from different commercial farms were collected and used.

Electronic address:

SOCS family genes are a class of repressors in various signaling pathways of mammals involved in regulating immunity, growth, and development, but the information remains limited in teleost. The full-length cDNA sequence of the Japanese eel SOCS6 gene, named AjSOCS6, was first cloned and showed to encode 529 amino acids with a conserved SH2 structural domain and a typical structure of a C-terminal SOCS box. AjSOCS6 is evolutionarily close to that of rainbow trout and zebrafish.
