Plasma concentrations of thyrotrophin (TSH), thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3), and pituitary TSH concentrations were determined at weekly intervals during the first 42 days following birth in Brattleboro homozygous (DI), Brattleboro heterozygous (HZ), and Long-Evans (LE) rats. Offspring from matings of Brattleboro rats were divided into DI and HZ animal subgroups on the basis of hypothalamic vasopressin content. In control LE rats, circulating levels of TSH, T4, and T3, and pituitary TSH concentrations increased during the early postnatal period to reach relatively stable levels between 28 and 42 days of age. In DI and HZ rats, the thyroid axis developed in parallel to that of LE rats during initial postnatal weeks. However, by 42 days of age, pituitary TSH concentrations were clearly elevated in Brattleboro rats relative to levels in age-matched LE animals. These data indicate that differences in thyroid axis function between Brattleboro and LE rats occur only after the attainment of a degree of maturity.

In this study, we identified cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) molecular subtypes and developed a CAF-based prognostic model for breast cancer (BRCA). The heterogeneity of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and their significant involvement in the advancement of BRCA were discovered employing single-cell RNA sequencing. Notably, we discovered that the RUNX1/SDC1 axis enhances BRCA cell invasion and metastasis.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) represents the most prevalent subtype, accounting for nearly 80% of all RCC cases. Recent research has shown that high expression of circular non-coding RNA (circRNA) is associated with poor prognosis in patients with renal clear cell carcinoma (ccRCC), however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.
Methods: After analysing self-sequenced renal cancer and paracancer circRNA sequencing data and comparing it with the GEO public database, we discovered that circASAP1 expression was significantly up-regulated in renal cancers.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer, and patients with the BRAF mutation often exhibit aggressive tumor behavior. Here, we identified Arylsulfatase I (ARSI) as a gene whose expression was significantly upregulated in BRAF PTC and was associated with poor prognosis. High ARSI expression correlated with advanced disease stage, BRAF mutation, and worse overall survival in PTC patients.

Background: The mechanisms underlying the complex relationship between autoimmune hypothyroidism and neurological disorders remain unclear. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of associations between alternative splicing, transcriptomics, and proteomics data and autoimmune hypothyroidism.
Methods: Splicing-wide association studies (SWAS), proteome-wide association studies (PWAS), and transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) were used to identify genes and proteins that regulate autoimmune hypothyroidism within the brain axis.
