Testicular Germ Cell Tumour (TGCT) is one of the most common tumours in young men. Increasing evidence shows that the extracellular matrix has a key role in the prognosis and metastasis of various human cancers. This study analysed the relationship between the matrix protein ameloblastin (AMBN) and potential biological markers associated with TGCT diagnosis and prognosis. The relationship between AMBN and TGCT prognosis was determined by bioinformatic analysis using the expression profiles of three RNAs (long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNAs) from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and available clinical information of the corresponding patients. Prediction and validation of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks related to AMBN was performed. AMBN and its associated ceRNA regulatory network were found to be related to the recurrence of TGCT, and LINC02701 may be used as a diagnostic factor in TGCT. Furthermore, we identified PELATON (Plaque Enriched LncRNA In Atherosclerotic And Inflammatory Bowel Macrophage Regulation) as an independent prognostic factor for TGCT progression-free interval.

Type II nuclear receptors (T2NRs) require heterodimerization with a common partner, the retinoid X receptor (RXR), to bind cognate DNA recognition sites in chromatin. Based on previous biochemical and overexpression studies, binding of T2NRs to chromatin is proposed to be regulated by competition for a limiting pool of the core RXR subunit. However, this mechanism has not yet been tested for endogenous proteins in live cells.

Hydroxylamine (HA) dosing is an effective strategy for promoting partial nitrification (PN); however, its impact on endogenous denitrification remains underexplored. In this study, long-term continuous HA dosing (1.4 mg/L) was introduced for over 110 days in a pilot-scale anaerobic/aerobic/anoxic (AOA) system treating municipal wastewater (66.

Platinum resistance is a common cause of chemotherapy failure in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs), which function by competitively binding to miRNAs, can influence drug response. However, the regulatory mechanisms of ceRNAs underlying chemoresistance in LUAD remain largely unknown.

Although electrochemical biosensors have been developed to detect multiple microRNAs (miRNAs) simultaneously through loading different capture probes, high surface-induced perturbation and competition among probes have reduced the detection sensitivity. To address these challenges, a trefoil DNA capture probe (TDCP) was designed for microRNA-21 (miR-21) and microRNA-16 (miR-16) detection simultaneously. The TDCP exhibits a stable structure, low spatial resistance, and integral rigidity, which decreases high surface-induced perturbations and competition to improve the accessibility of the target miRNA.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a type of non-coding RNA distinguished by a length exceeding 200 nucleotides. Recent studies indicated that lncRNAs participate in various biological processes, such as chromatin remodeling, transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation, and the modulation of cell proliferation, death, and differentiation, hence influencing gene expression and cellular function. ADAMTS9-AS1, an antisense long non-coding RNA situated on human chromosome 3p14.
