Objective: To evaluate the association between the tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 4 (TNFSF4) gene polymorphisms and common cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Methods: A literature-based search was conducted through databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and WanFang data. Crude odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to estimate the strength of the association between TNFSF4 polymorphisms (rs3850641 and rs17568) and the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke.
Results: Overall, 11 eligible studies were included in this meta-analysis. G allele was showed not to be associated with CHD and stroke, compared with A allele (rs3850641: OR=1.02, 95% CI=0.89-1.17; rs17568: OR=1.09, 95% CI=0.89-1.33). Genotypic analysis demonstrated that there was no significant association between the risk of CHD and stroke and rs3850641 [homozygous comparison (GG vs. AA): OR=1.05, 95% CI=0.74-1.50; heterozygous comparison (GA vs. AA): OR=1.00, 95% CI=0.88-1.13; recessive model (GG vs. GA+AA): OR=1.04, 95% CI=0.76-1.43; dominant model (GG+GA vs. AA): OR=1.01, 95% CI=0.88-1.17]. Similarly, no susceptibility between CHD and stroke and rs17568 polymorphism was uncovered (GG vs. AA: OR=1.04, 95% CI=0.74-1.46; GA vs. AA: OR=1.07, 95% CI=0.62-1.83; GG+GA vs. AA: OR=1.13, 95% CI=0.82-1.56; GG vs. GA+AA: OR=1.01, 95% CI=0.74-1.39).
Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that there is no significant relationship between TNFSF4 gene polymorphism and cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases.

Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of loci underlying adult-onset asthma (AOA) and childhood-onset asthma (COA). However, the causal variants, regulatory elements, and effector genes at these loci are largely unknown.
Methods: We performed heritability enrichment analysis to determine relevant cell types for AOA and COA, respectively.

Objective: This study aimed to identify key genes linked to resistance to a combination treatment regimen of bevacizumab and pemetrexed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) through bioinformatics analysis and analysis of their associated pathways.
Methods: Expression data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (GSE154286) were analyzed. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between tissues sensitive and resistant to combined bevacizumab and pemetrexed treatment in NSCLC were identified.

Long-term geographic isolation and breeding programs both influence population characteristics. Leiqiong cattle, a native breed from the southernmost region of China, are renowned for disease and heat resistance, with two subgroups on Hainan Island and the Leizhou Peninsula. However, the genomic differences between them remain unexplored.

Background: Chromatin accessibility plays a crucial role in mediating transcriptional dysregulation and heterogeneity in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC). Examining the chromatin accessibility of ESCC at single-cell level is imperative to understand how it activates oncogenes and contributes to the onset and metastasis of ESCC.
Methods: We performed single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (scATAC-seq) on cancerous and adjacent noncancerous tissues from four ESCC patients who were pathological staged as T1a, T2b, T3b, or T4a, to investigate whether regulatory elements are pivotal in instigating cellular heterogeneity during ESCC metastasis.
Background: As a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 4 (TNFSF4) is expressed on antigen-presenting cells and activated T cells by binding to its receptor TNFRSF4. However, tumorigenicity of TNFSF4 has not been studied in pan-cancer. Therefore, comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of pan-cancer was performed to determine the mechanisms through which TNFSF4 regulates tumorigenesis.
