Human antigen R (HuR), an RNA-binding protein, has been demonstrated to serve an oncogenic role in various types of cancer. Fibroblast growth factor receptor-like 1 (FGFRL1) has been shown to regulate small cell lung cancer (SCLC) chemoresistance. In the present study, the role of HuR in chemoresistance of SCLC, as well as its possible molecular mechanism involving FGFRL1, was explored by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, western blotting, Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, flow cytometry and RNA immunoprecipitation. The results revealed that HuR expression levels were markedly upregulated in drug-resistant SCLC cell lines (H69AR and H446DDP) compared with in the parental cell lines (H69 and H446). Knockdown of HuR in drug-resistant SCLC cells enhanced drug sensitivity, cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, molecular mechanism studies indicated that HuR could bind and regulate FGFRL1 expression levels to increase FGFRL1 mRNA stability. Taken together, the present study suggested that HuR may mediate chemoresistance of SCLC by regulating FGFRL1 expression. HuR may represent a prognostic predictor and a potential target for overcoming chemoresistance in SCLC.

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified many sources of genetic variation associated with bone mineral density (BMD), a clinical predictor of fracture risk and osteoporosis. Aside from the identification of causal genes, other difficult challenges to informing GWAS include characterizing the roles of predicted causal genes in disease and providing additional functional context, such as the cell type predictions or biological pathways in which causal genes operate. Leveraging single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) can assist in informing BMD GWAS by linking disease-associated variants to genes and providing a cell type context for which these causal genes drive disease.

The morbidity and mortality of prostate cancer are increasing year by year, and the survival rate of prostate cancer patients after treatment is low. Therefore, investigating the molecular mechanism underlying prostate cancer is crucial for developing effective treatments. Recent studies have shown the important role of long-chain non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in tumorigenesis.

Background: Comorbidity exists between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's disease (PD), but the role of genetic factors is unclear.
Objective: We aim to investigate genetic correlation, causal relationship, and comorbid genes between ALS and PD.
Methods: Leveraging the largest genome-wide association study data (ALS: 27,205 cases, 110,881 controls; PDG: 33,674 cases, 449,056 controls), we used linkage disequilibrium score regression and Mendelian randomization analysis for genetic correlation and causal inference.
