Context: Epigenetic alterations in suppressor of cytokine signalling 3 (SOCS3) have been suggested as a potential biomarker in glioma.

Objective: To investigate whether SOCS3 methylation could act as a biomarker for glioma grading and prognosis.

Materials And Methods: Glioma samples were evaluated by pyrosequencing and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Results: SOCS3 promoter methylation was more frequent in the WHO III and (anaplastic) oligoastrocytomas group. SOCS3 methylation status was significantly inversely correlated with mRNA expression level. Mutant IDH1 caused marked increase in SOCS3 methylation.

Conclusion: SOCS3 methylation is a potential biomarker for grading and prognosis in human glioma.

Methylation Partially Mediated the Association of Exposure to Triclosan but Not Triclocarban with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Case-Control Study.

Int J Mol Sci

November 2024

Department of Occupational and Environmental Health, College of Public Health, Zhengzhou University, 100 Kexue Avenue, Zhengzhou 450001, China.

This study aimed to evaluate the association of TCs (triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban) exposure with T2DM and glucose metabolism-related indicators and the mediating effect of methylation on their associations. A total of 956 participants (330 T2DM and 626 controls) were included in this case-control study. Logistic regression and generalized linear models were used to assess the effect of TCs on T2DM and glucose metabolism-related indicators.

Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most common malignant tumor of the head and neck. As a common epigenetic modification in mRNAs, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays critical roles in biological process of cancers. However, m6A methyltransferase methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14)-mediated m6A modification and its potential regulatory mechanisms in TC are not fully elucidated.

Introduction: Long noncoding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) has been shown to be involved in Parkinson's disease (PD) progression, but its mechanism needs to be further explored.

Methods: Mice were injected with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) to induce PD mice models, and BV2 cells were treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to mimic PD cell models. MALAT1 expression and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) protein level were examined using quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • * The SOCS family of proteins regulates this pathway's activity; irregular expression of these proteins in prostate cancer cells can trigger multiple signaling pathways that support tumor progression and therapy resistance.
  • * Understanding how SOCS proteins are dysregulated in prostate cancer could help develop new treatments aimed at restoring their expression, potentially improving therapy outcomes and managing the disease effectively.

Obesity and poverty disproportionally affect African American persons. Epigenetic mechanisms could partially explain the association between socioeconomic disadvantage and body mass index (BMI). We examined the extent to which epigenetic mechanisms mediate the effect of socioeconomic status (SES) on BMI.
