Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to beryllium sulfate (BeSO), and proteomic and bioinformatic techniques were applied to screen for differentially expressed proteins in their lung tissue and serum. A total of 12 coexpression modules were constructed for 18 samples with 2333 proteins. Four modules were found to have significant differences in the regulation of protein coexpression modules in the serum following exposure to BeSO. A further three modules had significant differences in the regulation of protein coexpression modules in the lung tissues. Five modules with good correlation were obtained by calculating the gene significance and module membership values, whereas these module Hub proteins included: Hspbp1, Rps15a, Srsf2, Hadhb, Elmo3, Armt1, Rpl18, Afap1L1, Eif3d, Eif3c, and Rps3. The five proteins correlating highest with the Hub proteins in the lung tissue and serum samples were obtained using string analysis. KEGG and GO enrichment analyses showed that these proteins are mainly involved in ribosome formation, apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, and tumor necrosis factor regulation. By analyzing the biological functions of these proteins, proteins that can be used as biomarkers, such as Akt1, Prpf19, Cct2, and Rpl18, are finally obtained.

Culm sheaths are capable of photosynthesis and are an important class of non-leaf organs in bamboo plants. The source-sink interaction mechanism has been found to play an important role in the interaction between culm sheaths and internodes in Bambusa multiplex. Research on the regulatory mechanisms of culm sheath senescence is important for the study of internode growth, but reports in this regard are limited.

Introduction: Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most frequent and serious organic manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Autophagy, a new form of programmed cell death, has been implicated in a variety of renal diseases, but the relationship between autophagy and LN remains unelucidated.
Methods: We analyzed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in kidney tissues from 14 LN patients and 7 normal controls using the GSE112943 dataset.

Our aim was to evaluate the regulation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and biological pathways by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in ischemic stroke. We employed weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to construct two co-expression networks for mRNAs with circRNAs and lncRNAs, respectively, to investigate their association with ischemic stroke. We compared the overlap of mRNAs and biological pathways in the stroke-associated modules of the two networks.

Ischemic stroke leads to permanent damage to the affected brain tissue, with strict time constraints for effective treatment. Predictive biomarkers demonstrate great potential in the clinical diagnosis of ischemic stroke, significantly enhancing the accuracy of early identification, thereby enabling clinicians to intervene promptly and reduce patient disability and mortality rates. Furthermore, the application of predictive biomarkers facilitates the development of personalized treatment plans tailored to the specific conditions of individual patients, optimizing treatment outcomes and improving prognoses.

A water extract of the Ayurvedic plant (L.) Urban, family Apiaceae (CAW), improves cognitive function in mouse models of aging and Alzheimer's disease and affects dendritic arborization, mitochondrial activity, and oxidative stress in mouse primary neurons. Triterpenes (TT) and caffeoylquinic acids (CQA) are constituents associated with these bioactivities of CAW, although little is known about how interactions between these compounds contribute to the plant's therapeutic benefit.
