Background: Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN) has been reported as a biomarker of many cancers. However, the biological function of IL1RN in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remains undetermined.
Methods: We obtained IL1RN expression data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Enrichment analysis of coexpressed genes and IL1RN methylation analysis were performed via LinkedOmics. The correlations between IL1RN and immune infiltrates were investigated via ESTIMATE, TIMER and TISIDB. We analyzed the association of IL1RN expression with pancancer overall survival (OS) via Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA).
Results: IL1RN showed higher expression levels and lower methylation levels in PTC tissues than in normal tissues. Higher IL1RN expression was significantly associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS), advanced tumor stage, tumor metastasis, increased incidence of BRAF mutations, and decreased incidence of N-RAS and H-RAS mutations. Genes coexpressed with IL1RN participate primarily in immune-related pathways. IL1RN expression positively correlated with immune infiltration, tumor progression and poor OS for all cancers.
Conclusions: IL1RN is a good prognostic and diagnostic biomarker for PTC. IL1RN may promote thyroid cancer progression through immune-related pathways. Methylation may act as an upstream regulator of IL1RN expression and biological function. Additionally, IL1RN was shown to have broad prognostic value in a pancancer cohort.

Elevated inflammatory reactions are a significant component in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI). Activation of α7-Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor (α7nAChR) reduces stroke-induced inflammation in rats, but the anti-inflammatory pathway in microglia under CIRI condition remains unclear. This study employed qRT-PCR, protein assays, NanoString analysis, and bioinformatics to examine the effects of PNU282987 treatment (α7nAChR agonist) on BV2 microglial functional differentiation in oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGDR) condition.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) and psoriasis are highly correlated clinically; however, it is unclear whether they have a common pathophysiological mechanism. The purpose of this study is to investigate the important molecules and pathways that mediate the coexistence of UC and psoriasis through quantitative bioinformatics analysis of public RNA-sequencing databases. The UC (GSE38713) and psoriasis (GSE30999) datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.

Despite increasing evidence suggesting that red light photobiomodulation (R-PBM) and leonurus play important roles in analgesic and anti-inflammatory processes, data on their combined effect on primary dysmenorrhea (PD) are scarce. In this study, we reported the pain assessment of red light at various modes combined with leonurus on the oxytocin-induced model of PD mice. The combined intervention of pulsed R-PBM and leonurus decreased pain responses and PGF/PGE levels, alleviated uterine swelling and inflammatory infiltration, enhanced antioxidant levels (T-AOC, GSH-PX, SOD), and reduced lipid peroxidation (MDA, LPO) in the uterus, with its synergistic effect surpassing either treatment alone or the combination of continuous wave R-PBM with leonurus.

MsrB1 is a thiol-dependent enzyme that reduces protein methionine--sulfoxide and regulates inflammatory response in macrophages. Therefore, MsrB1 could be a promising therapeutic target for the control of inflammation. To identify MsrB1 inhibitors, we construct a redox protein-based fluorescence biosensor composed of MsrB1, a circularly permutated fluorescent protein, and the thioredoxin1 in a single polypeptide chain.

The role of the C15orf48 gene in lung cancer is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the effect of C15orf48 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Bioinformatics analyses were performed using Oncomine, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) networks, Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA).
