The expression of c-Ha-ras-1, Ki-ras, N-ras, abl, src, fos and myc protooncogenes was analyzed in 13 cases of human gastric carcinomas. The transcriptional activity of both fos and myc protooncogenes was found to be disturbed in 47% and 42% of cases, respectively. An overexpression of fos protooncogenes as well as an appearance in some cases of atypical foc-mRNA transcripts were established. Only an elevation of the number of myc mRNA copies was observed. In one patient with gastric carcinoma a c-Ha-ras-1 overexpression was detected due to its amplification both in tumour tissues and in regional metastasis. The expression of other protooncogenes under investigation was similar to those found in normal gastric mucose. In addition, no differences in expression in protooncogenes mentioned above plus sis protooncogene were established in unchanged, premalignant and malignant stomach tissues in the course of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidin-induced carcinogenesis.

Brain plasticity is at the basis of many cognitive functions, including learning and memory. It includes several mechanisms of synaptic and extrasynaptic changes, neurogenesis, and the formation and elimination of synapses. The plasticity of synaptic transmission involves the expression of immediate early genes (IEGs) that regulate neuronal activity, thereby supporting learning and memory.

Regulation of gene expression during development and stress response requires the concerted action of transcription factors and chromatin-binding proteins. Because this process is cell-type specific and varies with cellular conditions, mapping of chromatin factors at individual regulatory loci is crucial for understanding cis-regulatory control. Previous methods only characterize static protein binding.

It has been established that essential amino acids (EAA) regulate protein synthesis in mammary epithelial cells by rapidly altering the phosphorylation state of translation factors. However, the long-term transcriptional response to EAA supply has been investigated much less. Eight transcription factors were selected as candidate mediators of EAA effects on mammary cell function via the amino acid response (ATF4, ATF6), mitogen-activated protein kinase (JUN, FOS, EGR1), and mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (MYC, HIF1A, SREBF1).

Previous studies have reported an association between telomere length and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aimed to explore the involvement of alternative lengthening of telomere-related genes (ALTRGs) in the pathology of NAFLD, construct a risk signature, and evaluate both treatment and prognosis. Three NAFLD datasets (GSE48452, GSE89632, and GSE63067) were collected from the GEO database and merged into combined GEO datasets.

Objective: Qingfei Tongluo Plaster (QFP), an improved Chinese medicine hospital preparation, is an attractive treatment option due to its well clinical efficacy, convenience, economy, and patient compliance in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pneumonia. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy mechanism of QFP on RSV rats from the perspective of alleviating lung inflammation and further explore the changes of serum metabolites and metabolic pathways in RSV rats under the influence of QFP.
Methods: This study used network pharmacological methods and molecular docking combined with molecular biology and metabolomics from multi-dimensional perspectives to screen and verify the therapeutic targets.
