The competing endogenous RNA networks play a pivotal role in cancer diagnosis and progression. Novel properstrategies for early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) are strongly needed. We investigated a novel CRC-specific RNA-based integrated competing endogenous network composed of lethal3 malignant brain tumor like1 (L3MBTL1) gene, long non-coding intergenic RNA- (lncRNA RP11-909B2.1) and homo sapiens microRNA-595 (hsa-miRNA-595) using in silico data analysis. RT-qPCR-based validation of the network was achieved in serum of 70 patients with CRC, 40 patients with benign colorectal neoplasm, and 20 healthy controls. Moreover, in cancer tissues of 20 of the 70 CRC cases were involved in the study. The expression of RNA-based biomarker network in both CRC and adjacent non-tumor tissues and their correlation with the serum levels of this network members was investigated. Lastly, the expression levels of the chosen ceRNA was verified in CRC cell line. Our results revealed that the three RNAs-based biomarker network (long non-coding intergenic RNA-[lncRNA RP11-909B2.1], Homo sapiens microRNA-595 [hsa-miRNA-595], and L3MBTL1 mRNA), had high sensitivity and specificity for discriminating CRC from healthy controls and also from benign colorectal neoplasm. The data suggest that among these three RNAs, serum lncRNA RP11-909B2.1 could be a promising independent prognostic factors in CRC. The circulatory RNA based biomarker panel can act as potential biomarker for CRC diagnosis and prognosis.

Purpose: To explore the impact of high body mass index (BMI) on the embryo quality and clinical outcomes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients, and the possible genes involved.

Methods: Patients who underwent in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment and embryo transfer in our center from November 2014 to September 2023, were divided into low BMI PCOS (LBP) group, high BMI PCOS (HBP) group, and high BMI control (HBC) group. Transcriptome sequencing was performed in eight PCOS patients' granulosa cells (GCs).

Sepiapterin is an exogenously synthesized new chemical entity that is structurally equivalent to endogenous sepiapterin, a biological precursor of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH), which is a cofactor for phenylalanine hydroxylase. Sepiapterin is being developed for the treatment of hyperphenylalaninemia in pediatric and adult patients with phenylketonuria (PKU). This study employed concentration-QT interval analysis to assess QT prolongation risk following sepiapterin treatment.

The complex nature of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) requires multi-agent combinations for optimal immunotherapy. Here we describe multiplex universal combinatorial immunotherapy via gene silencing (MUCIG), which uses CRISPR-Cas13d to silence multiple endogenous immunosuppressive genes in the TME, promoting TME remodeling and enhancing antitumor immunity. MUCIG vectors targeting four genes delivered by adeno-associated virus (AAV) (Cd274/Pdl1, Lgals9/Galectin9, Lgals3/Galectin3 and Cd47; AAV-Cas13d-PGGC) demonstrate significant antitumor efficacy across multiple syngeneic tumor models, remodeling the TME by increasing CD8 T-cell infiltration while reducing neutrophils.
