Glioma is a type of malignant intracranial tumor. Extensive research has identified the participation of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in glioma progression. This study investigated the mechanism of LINC00294 in mitochondrial function and glioma cell apoptosis. Glioma miRNA and mRNA microarray datasets were obtained, and differentially expressed lncRNAs in glioma were screened through various databases. The LINC00294 expression in glioma patients and glioma cells was detected. Glioma cells were treated under hypoxic conditions and transfected with LINC00294 silencing. The apoptosis and mitochondrial function of glioma cells were measured. The expressions of and relations among miR-21-5p, CASKIN1, and cAMP in glioma cells were analyzed. Under hypoxic conditions and LINC00294 silencing, the apoptosis and mitochondrial function of glioma cells were detected after inhibiting miR-21-5p or overexpressing CASKIN1. Our results indicated that LINC00294 was downregulated in glioma. LINC00294 silencing inhibited glioma cell apoptosis under hypoxia. LINC00294 silencing reversed the inhibition of hypoxia on mitochondrial function under hypoxia. LINC00294 promoted the CASKIN1 expression by sponging miR-21-5p and activated the cAMP pathway. Inhibition of miR-21-5p or overexpression of CASKIN1 annulled the effects of LINC00294 silencing on mitochondrial function and glioma cell apoptosis under hypoxia. In conclusion, LINC00294 elevated the CASKIN1 expression by sponging miR-21-5p and activating the cAMP signaling pathway, thus inhibiting mitochondrial function and facilitating glioma cell apoptosis.

Nematodes are abundant and ubiquitous animals which are poorly known at intraspecific level. This work represents the first attempt to fill the gap on basic knowledge of genetic variability and differentiation in Protostrongylus oryctolagi, a nematode parasite of lagomorphs. 68 cox1 sequences were obtained from brown hares collected in five locations in Northern and Central Italy, highlighting the presence of a high amount of genetic variation inside this species.

Tequila bats (genus Leptonycteris) have gained attention for their critical role in pollinating different plant species, especially Agave spp. and columnar cacti. Leptonycteris nivalis is the largest nectar-feeding bat in the Americas, and the females exhibit migratory behavior during the breeding season.

While traditionally studied for their proapoptotic functions in activating the caspase, research suggests BH3-only proteins also have other roles such as mitochondrial dynamics regulation. Here, we find that EGL-1, the BH3-only protein in , promotes the cell-autonomous production of exophers in adult neurons. Exophers are large, micron-scale vesicles that are ejected from the cell and contain cellular components such as mitochondria.

With the dilemma of limited efficacy of individual therapies, it is crucial to develop innovative combination therapy systems to target the complex pathogenesis of cancer. In this study, we designed a nanoprodrug ISL@MIL-101-ADT to facilitate synergistic delivery of hydrogen sulfide (HS) and prodrug ISL for specific eradication of tumor cells with minimal toxicity and maximal efficacy. The nanoprodrug passively targeted tumors through enhanced permeation and retention effects, followed by disintegration and release of IR780, lonidamine (LND), and HS.

Brain accumulation of the branched-chain α-keto acids α-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC), α-keto-β-methylvaleric acid (KMV), and α-ketoisovaleric acid (KIV) occurs in maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), an inherited intoxicating metabolic disorder caused by defects of the branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase complex. Patients commonly suffer life-threatening acute encephalopathy in the newborn period and develop chronic neurological sequelae of still undefined pathogenesis. Therefore, this work investigated the in vitro influence of pathological concentrations of KIC (5 mM), KMV (1 mM), and KIV (1 mM) on mitochondrial bioenergetics in the cerebral cortex of neonate (one-day-old) rats.
