Background: Occludin/ELL domain containing 1 (OCEL1) is a novel discovered protein with its molecular functions remaining unknown and its role in lung cancer has not been directly explored.
Objectives: This study focused on the role of OCEL1 in the progression and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: A public database and tissue samples (80 NSCLC tissue samples and paired normal lung samples) were used to compare differences in OCEL1 expression and investigate its relationship with clinical characteristics and prognosis.
Results: Compared to adjacent normal lung tissue samples, OCEL1 expression was significantly down-regulated in tumor tissues. In addition, there was a negative correlation between OCEL1 and Ki67 expression levels. Low OCEL1 expression was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis, higher TNM stage, and poor prognosis. Importantly, multivariate analysis identified OCEL1 expression as an independent predictor for unfavorable NSCLC prognosis.
Conclusions: These results indicated that OCEL1 protein may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker in NSCLC.

Peptide YY (PYY), produced by endocrine L cells in the gut, is known for its critical role in regulating gastrointestinal functions as well as satiety. However, how these processes are integrated with maintaining a healthy gut microbiome composition is unknown. Here, we show that lack of PYY in mice leads to distinct changes in gut microbiome composition that are diet-dependent.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine and metabolic disorder affecting up to 15% of women at reproductive age. The main features of PCOS are hyperandrogenism and irregular menstrual cycles together with metabolic dysfunctions including hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance and a 4-fold increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Despite the high prevalence the pathophysiology of the syndrome is unclear.
