Purpose: This study compared the severity of osteoporosis and screened differentially expressed proteins in postmenopausal osteoporotic rats with varying levels of serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).
Methods: Thirty-six Sprague Dawley female rats were divided into four groups: sham operation (sham) group, ovariectomy (OVX) group, FSH and ovariectomy (OVX + FSH) group, and Leuprorelin (LE) and ovariectomy group (OVX + LE). Body weight, serum estradiol, FSH, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, and bone mineral density were measured. We randomly selected six rats each from the OVX and OVX + FSH groups to detect differentially expressed proteins by data-independent acquisition, and we verified the results in the remaining six rats by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results: Nineteen proteins were upregulated and 36 proteins were downregulated in the OVX + FSH group. The expression of heat shock protein 90 alpha (Hsp90α) and 14-3-3η protein was significantly different between the OVX and OVX + FSH groups, and both were linearly correlated with bone trabecular area. Results were verified by ELISA and were found to be consistent with the results of data-independent acquisition.
Discussion: In rats with high serum FSH, expression of Hsp90α protein was increased and expression of 14-3-3η protein was decreased. Both changes in protein expression were strongly correlated with bone trabecular area.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) has high incidence and mortality rates, with severe prognoses during invasion and metastasis stages. Despite advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, the impact of the tumour microenvironment, particularly extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness, on CRC progression and metastasis is not fully understood.
Methods: This study included 107 CRC patients.

With climate change projections indicating an increase in the frequency of extreme heat events and irregular rainfall patterns globally, the threat to global food security looms large. Terminal heat stress, which occurs during the critical reproductive stage, significantly limits lentil productivity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve lentil's resilience to heat stress to sustain production.

The heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) family of molecular chaperones mediates the folding and activation of ~ 400 client proteins, many of which contribute to oncogenesis. As a result, Hsp90 pan-inhibitors, which inhibit all four Hsp90 isoforms, have been investigated in the clinic for the treatment of cancer. Unfortunately, detrimental side effects were observed and hindered the clinical development of pan-Hsp90 inhibitors.

Hsp70, Hsp90, and ClpB/Hsp100 are molecular chaperones that help regulate proteostasis. Bacterial and yeast Hsp70s and their cochaperones function synergistically with Hsp90s to reactivate inactive and aggregated proteins by a mechanism that requires a direct interaction between Hsp90 and Hsp70 both in vitro and in vivo. and yeast Hsp70s also collaborate in bichaperone systems with ClpB and Hsp104, respectively, to disaggregate and reactivate aggregated proteins and amyloids such as prions.

Mammalian J-domain protein DNAJC9 interacts with histones H3-H4 and is important for cell proliferation. However, its exact function remains unclear. Here, we show that, in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, loss of Djc9, the ortholog of DNAJC9, renders the histone chaperone Asf1 no longer essential for growth.
