Background: Natural killer/T cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is a distinct subtype of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with highly aggressive clinical behavior. We aim to investigate the function of Latent transforming growth factor β binding protein 1 (LTBP1) and transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-β1) and complex molecular pathogenesis of this disease.
Methods: NKTCL patients and reactive lymph nodes patients were recruited in this study. The expression of LTBP1 and TGF-β1 was examined using qRT-PCR, Western blot, IHC and ELISA analyses in biopsied tissues and serum from participants and NKTCL cell lines. Cell proliferation was determined using CFSE. Cell cycle and apoptosis were evaluated using flow cytometric analyses. The expression of Ki-67, CDK4 and cyclinD1 proteins was measured using Western blot analyses. The roles of LTBP-1/TGF-β1 in EMT program were determined by measuring E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Vimentin using Western blot analyses. The effects of LTBP-1 and TGF-β1 on tumor progression in vivo were determined by animal experiments.
Results: LTBP-1 and TGF-β1 levels were elevated in NKTCL tissues and serum. The expression of LTBP-1 was positively correlated with the expression of TGF-β1 in NKTCL tissues. LTBP-1 was overexpressed in NKTCL cells. Knockdown of LTBP-1 suppressed cell proliferation and cell cycle progression, induced cell apoptosis, and suppressed EMT program in NKTCL cells. These effects of LTBP-1 knockdown were attenuated after TGF-β1 stimulation. Knockdown of LTBP-1 inhibited NKTCL tumor weight and volume in vivo. Also, stimulation of TGF-β1 attenuated the suppressive effects on tumor growth from sh-LTBP-1. Silencing of LTBP-1 lowered cellular TGF-β1, phosphorylated-Smad2, phosphorlyatd-Smad3, and phosphorylated-p38 and the suppressive effects were reversed after stimulation of TGF-β1.
Conclusion: Our findings suggested that inhibition of LTBP-1/TGF-β1 suppressed the malignant phenotypes of NKTCL cells and tumor growth via inactivating the canonical TGF-β/Smad signaling and p38 signaling.

Surface induced crystallization/amorphization of a Germanium-antimony-tellurium (GST) nanolayer is investigated using the phase field model. A Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equation introduces an external surface layer (ESL) within which the surface energy and elastic properties are properly distributed. Next, the coupled GL and elasticity equations for the crystallization/amorphization are solved.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common neurological trauma that cannot be completely cured with surgical techniques and medications. In this study, we established a mouse SCI model and used an adeno-associated virus (AAV) to achieve the high expression of sonic hedgehog (Shh) at the injury site to further investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Shh on SCI. The results of the present study show that Shh may promote motor function recovery.

The rapid urbanization, industrial growth, and socio-cultural activities along riverbanks in hilly cities are transforming land use and intensifying water infrastructure challenges. Paonta Sahib, a culturally significant town in Himachal Pradesh on the Yamuna River, along the foothills of the Himalayas exemplifies these pressures due to its religious tourism, industrialization, and mining activities. This study explores sustainable riverfront development at Paonta Sahib, addressing socio-cultural, environmental, and technical concerns essential for eco-sensitive urban planning.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) has a complex etiology where insults in multiple pathways conspire to disrupt neuronal function, yet molecular changes underlying AD remain poorly understood. Previously, we performed mass-spectrometry on post-mortem human brain tissue to identify >40 protein co-expression modules correlated to AD pathological and clinical traits. Module 42 has the strongest correlation to AD pathology and consists of 32 proteins including SMOC1, a predicted driver of network behavior and potential biomarker for AD.
