Gliomas are serious primary brain tumors. The aim of the present study was to identify potential key genes associated with the progression of gliomas. The GSE31262 gene expression profile data, which included 9 glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) samples and 5 neural stem cell samples from adult humans, were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. limma package was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Based on STRING database and Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC), a co-expression network was constructed to comprehensively understand the interactions between DEGs, and function analysis of genes in the network was conducted. Furthermore, the DEGs that were associated with prognosis were analyzed. A total of 431 DEGs were identified, including 98 upregulated DEGs and 333 downregulated DEGs. Genes including PDZ binding kinase, topoisomerase (DNA) II α (), cyclin dependent kinase () 1, cell division cycle 6 and NIMA related kinase 2 had a relatively high degree in the co-expression network. A set of genes including cyclin D1, and were significantly enriched in the cell cycle and p53 signaling pathway. Additionally, 69 DEGs were identified as genes involved in glioblastoma prognosis, such as and . The genes that had a higher degree and were associated with cell cycle and p53 signaling pathway may play pivotal roles in the progress of glioblastoma.

Background: Bioinformatics analysis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) expression profiles can aid in understanding its molecular mechanisms and identifying new targets for diagnosis and treatment.

Aim: In this study, we analyzed expression profile datasets and miRNA expression profiles related to HCC from the GEO using R software to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRs).

Methods And Results: Common DEGs were identified, and a PPI network was constructed using the STRING database and Cytoscape software to identify hub genes.

Metabolism is the name given to all of the chemical reactions in the cell involving thousands of proteins, including enzymes, receptors, and transporters. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are caused by defects in the production and breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA molecules, ⁓19-25 nucleotides long, hairpin-shaped, produced from DNA.

Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Guangzhou First People's Hospital, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China.

Objective: This study aims to investigate how the E3 ubiquitin ligase LITAF influences mitochondrial autophagy by modulating MCL-1 ubiquitination, and its role in the development of epilepsy.

Methods: Employing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze brain tissue from epilepsy patients, along with high-throughput transcriptomics, we identified changes in gene expression. This was complemented by in vivo and in vitro experiments, including protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, western blotting, and behavioral assessments in mouse models.

STMGraph: spatial-context-aware of transcriptomes via a dual-remasked dynamic graph attention model.

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies enable dissecting the tissue architecture in spatial context. To perceive the global contextual information of gene expression patterns in tissue, the spatial dependence of cells must be fully considered by integrating both local and non-local features by means of spatial-context-aware. However, the current ST integration algorithm ignores for ST dropouts, which impedes the spatial-aware of ST features, resulting in challenges in the accuracy and robustness of microenvironmental heterogeneity detecting, spatial domain clustering, and batch-effects correction.

Background: The function of some testis-specific genes (TSGs) in model insects have been studied, but their function in non-model insects remains largely unexplored. In the present study, we identified several TSGs in the fall armyworm (FAW), a significant agricultural pest, through comparative transcriptomic analysis. A testis-specific gene cluster (TSGC) comprising multiple functional genes and long non-coding RNAs was found.
