Background: As an invasive malignant tumor, osteosarcoma (OS) has high mortality. Parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (PTHR1) contributes to maintaining proliferation and undifferentiated state of OS. This study is designed to reveal the action mechanisms of PTHR1 in OS.
Methods: Microarray dataset GSE46861, which included six PTHR1 knockdown OS samples and six control OS samples, was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and then performed with enrichment analysis separately using the limma package and DAVID online tool. Then, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and module analyses were conducted using Cytoscape software. Using the WebGestalt tool, microRNAs (miRNAs) were predicted for the DEGs involved in the PPI network. Following this, transcription factors (TFs) were predicted and an integrated network was constructed by Cytoscape software.
Results: There were 871 DEGs in the PTHR1 knockdown OS samples compared with the control OS samples. Besides, upregulated ZFPM2 was involved in the miRNA-DEG regulatory network. Moreover, TF LEF1 was predicted for the miRNA-DEG regulatory network of the downregulated genes. In addition, LEF1, NR4A2, HAS2, and RHOC had higher degrees in the integrated network.
Conclusions: ZFPM2, LEF1, NR4A2, HAS2, and RHOC might be potential targets of PTHR1 in OS.

Patients with hand dysfunction require joint rehabilitation for functional restoration, and wearable electronics can provide physical signals to assess and guide the process. However, most wearable electronics are susceptible to failure under large deformations owing to instability in the layered structure, thereby weakening signal reliability. Herein, an in-situ self-welding strategy that uses dynamic hydrogen bonds at interfaces to integrate conductive elastomer layers into highly robust electronics is proposed.

The family of forkhead box O (FoxO) transcription factors regulate cellular processes involved in glucose metabolism, stress resistance, DNA damage repair, and tumor suppression. FoxO transactivation activity is tightly regulated by a complex network of signaling pathways and post-translational modifications. While it has been well established that phosphorylation promotes FoxO cytoplasmic retention and inactivation, the mechanism underlying dephosphorylation and nuclear translocation is less clear.

With the rapid advancements in the field of fluorescent dyes, accurate prediction of optical properties and efficient retrieval of dye-related data are essential for effective dye design. However, there is a lack of tools for comprehensive data integration and convenient data retrieval. Moreover, existing prediction models mainly focus on a single property of fluorescent dyes and fail to account for the diverse fluorophores and solutions in a systematic manner.
