Hypoxia is common in Glioblastoma (GBM). By regulating the 'hypoxia signaling cascade', hypoxia affects several processes including cell proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis. Some studies have revealed that signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT), including STAT1, is abnormal under hypoxia in several cancers. Here, we investigated the role of STAT1 under hypoxia in glioma progression. We found that STAT1 was downregulated under a hypoxic condition in U251 and U373. STAT1 overexpression can not only decrease proliferation, migration and invasion in U251 and U373 but also inhibit tube formation of HBMECs. Moreover, overexpression of STAT1 decreased tumor growth and prolonged the overall survival of xenograft mice. We also showed that STAT1 overexpression inhibited the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF-A. Our work suggests that STAT1 plays a pivotal role as a tumor suppressor in glioma under hypoxia, and it could be a potential new therapeutic target in glioma.

β-secretase (BACE1) is instrumental in amyloid-β (Aβ) production, with overexpression noted in Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology. The interaction of Aβ with the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) facilitates cerebral uptake of Aβ and exacerbates its neurotoxicity and neuroinflammation, further augmenting BACE1 expression. Given the limitations of previous BACE1 inhibition efforts, the study explores reducing BACE1 expression to mitigate AD pathology.

Mirin, a chemical inhibitor of MRE11, has been recently reported to suppress immune response triggered by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) breakage and release during replication stalling. We show that while Mirin reduces mitochondrial replication fork breakage in mitochondrial 3´-exonuclease MGME1 deficient cells, this effect occurs independently of MRE11. We also discovered that Mirin directly inhibits cellular immune responses, as shown by its suppression of STAT1 phosphorylation in Poly(I:C)-treated cells.

Intracranial aneurysm (IA) poses significant health risks, yet the specific mRNA profiles and regulatory mechanisms distinguishing unruptured IA (UIA) from ruptured IA (RIA) remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate these differences through comprehensive mRNA analysis. We employed RNA sequencing to compare mRNA expression patterns among control individuals, UIA patients, and RIA patients.
