circRNAs have been shown to be involved in cancer progression. It is unclear whether circPGAM1 exerts its effect on laryngocarcinoma drug resistance. In this study, we employed colony formation and MTT assay to determine colony number and cell viability under cisplatin treatment. TUNEL experiment was used to evaluate apoptosis of laryngocarcinoma cells in the presence of cisplatin. Xenograft tumor experiment was performed to assess in vivo tumor growth of SNU46 cells. We found that circPGAM1 enhanced colony formation and viability of SNU46 and M4E cells. In contrast, circPGAM1 caused attenuated cell apoptosis. Furthermore, we also confirmed that circPGAM1 played a key role in tumor growth in animal model and clinical patients. miR-376a was identified and proved to act as key effector for circPGAM1-mediated drug resistance. Finally, autophagy-related gene ATG2A was shown to rescue miR-376a-modulated drug resistance of laryngocarcinoma cells. Herein, we illuminate the role of circPGAM1 in laryngocarcinoma drug resistance, thereby facilitating development of targeted therapy for treating laryngocarcinoma.

In Aotearoa New Zealand, urinary tract infections in humans are commonly caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing . This group of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are often multidrug resistant. However, there is limited information on ESBL-producing found in the environment and their link with human clinical isolates.

This review examines the role of the canine blood-brain barrier (BBB) in health and disease, focusing on the impact of the multidrug resistance (MDR) transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) encoded by the gene. The BBB is critical in maintaining central nervous system homeostasis and brain protection against xenobiotics and environmental drugs that may be circulating in the blood stream. We revise key anatomical, histological and functional aspects of the canine BBB and examine the role of the gene mutation in specific dog breeds that exhibit reduced P-gp activity and disrupted drug brain pharmacokinetics.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and poses significant global health challenges. Conventional treatments, such as insulin therapy and lifestyle modifications, have shown limited efficacy in addressing the multifactorial nature of DM. Emerging evidence suggests that gut microbiota, a diverse community of microorganisms critical for metabolism and immune function, plays a pivotal role in metabolic health.

Introduction: Berberine (BBR) has the characteristics of repressing hyperglycemia, obesity, and inflammation, as well as improving insulin resistance. However, the underlying mechanism remains to be fully understood. This study explores whether BBR regulates inositol requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1)/glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β) axis to resist obesity-associated inflammation, thereby improving glucolipid metabolism disorders.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is an etiologically diverse metabolic dysfunction that, if untreated, leads to chronic hyperglycemia. Understanding the etiology of T2DM is critical, as it represents one of the most formidable medical challenges of the twenty-first century. Traditionally, insulin resistance has been recognized as the primary risk factor and a well-known consequence of type 2 diabetes.
