Objective: To analyze the characteristics of gene mutation and overexpression in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients.

Methods: Bone marrow cells from 208 NDMM patients were collected and analyzed. The gene mutation of 28 genes and overexpression of 6 genes was detected by DNA sequencing. Chromosome structure abnormalities were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).

Results: Gene mutations were detected in 61 (29.33%) NDMM patients. Some mutations occurred in 5 or more cases, such as NRAS, PRDM1, FAM46C, MYC, CCND1, LTB, DIS3, KRAS, and CRBN. Overexpression of six genes (CCND1, CCND3, BCL-2, CCND2, FGFR3, and MYC) were detected in 83 (39.9%) patients, and cell cycle regulation gene was the most common. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) changes were detected in 169 (81.25%) patients, the TP53 P72R gene SNP (70.17%) was the most common. Abnormality in chromosome structure was correlated to gene overexpression. Compared to the patients with normal chromosome structure, patients with 14q32 deletion showed higher proportion of CCND1 overexpression. Similarly, patients with 13q14 deletion showed higher proportion of FGFR3 overexpression, whereas patients with 1q21 amplification showed higher proportion of CCND2, BCL-2 and FGFR3 overexpression.

Conclusion: There are multiple gene mutations and overexpression in NDMM. However, there is no dominated single mutation or overexpression of genes. The most common gene mutations are those in the RAS/MAPK pathway and the genes of cyclin family CCND are overexpression.

The Human papillomaviruses (HPV) have existed in the human population since the archaic hominids. Over the course of human migration and evolution, HPVs have co-evolved with humans on all continents to become today the leading cause of cervical cancer. HPVs are classified by genera, species, genotype, lineage, sub-lineage and variants.

Article Synopsis
  • Parkinson's disease (PD) is linked to the aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) and is associated with sleep-wake disorders, particularly in early stages where mechanisms are not well understood.
  • Research using transgenic Drosophila models showed that flies overexpressing α-syn experienced excessive daytime sleepiness and difficulties in anticipating activities, alongside identified deficits in specific neurons linked to sleep and circadian rhythm.
  • The study found that disrupting lipid metabolism through the inhibition of Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein (SREBP) improved daytime sleep duration in α-syn overexpressing flies, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for PD-related sleep disturbances.

Department of Neurosurgery, The Affiliated Hospital, Southwest Medical University, 25 Taiping Street, Luzhou, Sichuan, 646000, China.

Background: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a crucial role in the migration and invasion capabilities of glioblastoma (GBM) cells. Several studies have established tubulin as a significant regulator of the EMT process. Tubulin beta 2B class IIb (TUBB2B), a critical component of microtubules, has been linked to the prognosis of various tumors.

Background: Understanding the molecular mechanisms in immunosuppressive regulation is crucial for improving immunotherapeutic strategies. Macrophages, the major immune cells in tumor microenvironment (TME), play a dual role in tumor progression. CD180, primarily expressed in macrophages, remains unclear and requires further investigation.
