Aim: To investigate the role of the transcription factor YY1 in Wilms tumor (WT).

Patients & Methods: We measured YY1 expression using tissue microarray from patients with pediatric renal tumors, mainly WT and evaluated correlations with the predicted clinical evolution. YY1 expression was measured using immunohistochemical and protein expression was determined by digital pathology.

Results & Conclusion: YY1 significantly increased in WT patients. In addition, an increase in YY1 expression had a greater risk of adverse outcomes in WT patients with favorable histology. YY1 expression was higher in the blastemal component of tumors, and high nuclear expression positively correlated with metastasis. YY1 may be considered as a metastasis risk factor in WT.

Background: Recent studies indicate that N6-methyladenosine (mA) RNA modification may regulate ferroptosis in cancer cells, while its molecular mechanisms require further investigation.

Methods: Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) was used to detect changes in mA levels in cells. Transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry were used to detect mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS).

The treatment of cancers with immunotherapies has yielded significant milestones in recent years. Amongst these immunotherapeutic strategies, the FDA has approved several checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs), primarily Anti-Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) and Programmed Death Ligand-1/2 (PDL-1/2) monoclonal antibodies, in the treatment of various cancers unresponsive to immune therapeutics. Such treatments resulted in significant clinical responses and the prolongation of survival in a subset of patients.

Early embryonic development relies on intricately regulated gene expression, and miRNAs influence zygotic genome activation (ZGA), cleavage, and cell fate determination through post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms. miR-192 is expressed in early pig embryos and participates in various reproductive processes. However, its role in pre-implantation pig embryo development remains poorly understood.

Novel denovo variants of exome sequences are major cause of pathogenic neurodevelopmental disorders with a dominant genetic mechanism that emphasize their heterogeneity and complex phenotypes. White Sutton syndrome and Gabriele-de-Vries syndrome are congenital neuro-impairments with overlap of severe intellectual disability, microcephaly, convulsions, seizures, delayed development, dysmorphism of faces, retinal diseases, movement disorders and autistic traits. POGZ gene codes for pogo transposable element-derived zinc-finger protein and YY1 gene regulates transcription, chromatin, and RNA-binding proteins that have been associated with White Sutton and Gabriele-de-Vries syndromes, in recent data.
