Metabolites derived from the intestinal microbiota, including bile acids (BA), extensively modulate vertebrate physiology, including development, metabolism, immune responses and cognitive function. However, to what extent host responses balance the physiological effects of microbiota-derived metabolites remains unclear. Here, using untargeted metabolomics of mouse tissues, we identified a family of BA-methylcysteamine (BA-MCY) conjugates that are abundant in the intestine and dependent on vanin 1 (VNN1), a pantetheinase highly expressed in intestinal tissues.

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric disorder with an estimated heritability of around 70%. Although the largest meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies on AN identified independent risk-conferring loci for the disorder, the molecular mechanisms underlying the genetic basis of AN remain to be elucidated. To investigate AN, we performed transcriptome profiling in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 15 AN patients and 15 healthy controls.

Objective: To explore the diagnostic and prognostic values of Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) and Vanin-1 (VNN1) in peripheral blood monocytes of children with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) and their correlation with acute kidney injury (AKI).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 101 children (observation group) diagnosed with PNS and treated at the Shanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated Hospital from December 2021 to December 2023. These children were categorized into two groups: the AKI group (n=35) and the non-AKI group (n=66), based on the presence of AKI.

This study aimed to investigate the association between hepatic expression and carcass traits in Mahuang chickens as well as to identify polymorphisms in the upstream and downstream regions of that could potentially be associated with these carcass traits. The study revealed that expression levels in liver correlated with various carcass traits such as dressed weight, eviscerated weight, and abdominal fat weight. A total of 39 polymorphic sites were identified, among which 23 were found to be associated with 15 different carcass traits.

Members of the vanin gene family include VNN1, VNN2, and VNN3 in humans. Although the functions of vanins have been widely examined in myeloid cells, their expression and functions have not been clarified in T lymphocytes. This study aimed to elucidate the significance of Vanin-2 (VNN2) on human peripheral blood T lymphocytes and study its expression in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
