Objective: Cancer/testis antigen FMR1NB is aberrantly expressed in various types of cancer, but not in normal tissues except for testis. This study aimed to investigate the expression and functional role of FMR1NB in glioma.
Methods: The expression of FMR1NB mRNA and protein was determined using RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively, in glioma specimens from 83 patients at follow-up. The effects of siRNA-mediated FMR1NB silencing on malignant biological behaviors were evaluated in glioma cell lines A172 and U251.
Results: FMR1NB mRNA and protein expression was detected in 58.8% (77/131) and 46.34% (57/123) of glioma tissues, respectively. FMR1NB protein was positively correlated with World Health Organization grade and found to be an independent prognostic marker for poor outcome. Knockdown of FMR1NB induced apoptosis and suppressed proliferation, adhesion, migration, and invasion by modulating the expression of cyclin A, CDK2, caspase-3, E-cadherin, and N-cadherin in A172 and U251 cells.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that FMR1NB contributes to the tumorigenesis of glioma cells and may represent a potential prognostic biomarker and an attractive therapeutic target in glioma.

Efficacy against Lung Cancer Is Augmented by Combining Aberrantly N-Glycosylated T Cells with a Chimeric Antigen Receptor Targeting Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 Neighbor.

The adaptive transfer of T cells redirected to cancer cells via chimeric Ag receptors (CARs) has produced clinical benefits for the treatment of hematologic diseases. To extend this approach to solid cancer, we screened CARs targeting surface Ags on human lung cancer cells using (to our knowledge) novel expression cloning based on the Ag receptor-induced transcriptional activation of IL-2. Isolated CARs were directed against fragile X mental retardation 1 neighbor (FMR1NB), a cancer-testis Ag that is expressed by malignant cells and adult testicular germ cells.

Background: Genetic causes that lead to spermatogenetic failure in patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) have not been yet completely established.
Objective: To identify low-frequency NOA-associated single nucleotide variants (SNVs) using whole-genome sequencing (WGS).
Materials And Methods: Men with various types of NOA (n = 39), including samples that had been previously tested with whole-exome sequencing (WES; n = 6) and did not result in diagnostic conclusions.

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that the genetic factors partly influence the development of same-sex sexual behavior, but most genetic studies have focused on people of primarily European ancestry, potentially missing important biological insights. Here, we performed a two-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) with a total sample of 1478 homosexual males and 3313 heterosexual males in Han Chinese populations and identified two genetic loci (rs17320865, Xq27.3, FMR1NB, P = 8.

However, the molecular causes behind FF remain largely unknown. Mass spectrometry is a powerful technique to identify and quantify proteins across samples; however, no study so far has used it to dissect the proteomic signature of spermatozoa with FF after ICSI.
