Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor σ (PTPσ) is highly expressed by murine and human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and negatively regulates HSC self-renewal and regeneration. Previous studies of the nervous system suggest that heparan sulfate proteoglycans can inactivate PTPσ by clustering PTPσ receptors on neurons, but this finding has yet to be visually verified with adequate resolution. Here, we sought to visualize and quantify how heparan sulfate proteoglycans regulate the organization and activation of PTPσ in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). Our study illustrates that syndecan-2 promotes PTPσ clustering, which sustains phospho-tyrosine and phospho-ezrin levels in association with augmentation of hematopoietic colony formation. Strategies that promote clustering of PTPσ on HSPCs may serve to powerfully augment hematopoietic function.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant tumour that poses a serious threat to human health and places a heavy burden on individuals and society. However, the role of GPC1 in the malignant progression of HCC is unknown. In this study, we analysed the expression of GPC1 in HCC, and its association with poor patient prognosis.

Background: Lymphatic metastasis in gastric cancer (GC) profoundly influences its prognosis, but the precise mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we identified the long noncoding RNA MIR181A2HG as being upregulated in GC and associated with LNs metastasis and prognosis.
Methods: The expression of MIR181A2HG in GC was identified through bioinformatics screening analysis and qRT-PCR validation.

Objectives: To investigate the active ingredients in Hedyotis diffusa-Scutellaria barbata D. Don and the main biological processes and signaling pathways mediating their inhibitory effect on primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: The core intersecting genes of HCC and the two drugs were screened from TCMSP, Uniport, Genecards, and String databases using Cytoscape software, and GO and KEGG enrichment analyses of the intersecting genes were conducted.
The antihyperglycemic activity of extracellular polysaccharopeptides (ePSP) obtained from Trametes versicolor (TV) strain LH-1 has been demonstrated in hepatic cells and diabetic animals. This study further investigated the mechanisms of T. versicolor-ePSP on regulating glucose metabolism, including insulin signaling molecules and glucose metabolism-associated enzymes, in the liver of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Background: Emerging evidence shows that small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), a type of highly conserved non-coding RNA, is involved in tumorigenesis and aggressiveness. However, the roles of snoRNAs in regulating alternative splicing crucial for cancer progression remain elusive.
Methods: High-throughput RNA sequencing and comprehensive analysis were performed to identify crucial snoRNAs and downstream alternative splicing events.
