Microarray technology has been successfully used in many biology studies to solve the protein-protein interaction (PPI) prediction computationally. For normal tissue, the cell regulation process begins with transcription and ends with the translation process. However, when cell regulation activity goes wrong, cancer occurs. Microarray data can precisely give high accuracy expression levels at normal and cancer-affected cells, which can be useful for the identification of disease-related genes. First, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are extracted from the cancer microarray dataset in order to identify the genes that are up-regulated and down-regulated during cancer progression in the human body. Then, proteins corresponding to these genes are collected from NCBI, and then the STRING web server is used to build the PPI network of these proteins. Interestingly, up-regulated proteins have always a higher number of PPIs compared to down-regulated proteins, although, in most of the datasets, the majority of these DEGs are down-regulated. We hope this study will help to build a relevant model to analyze the process of cancer progression in the human body.

Hyphopichia pseudoburtonii, is emerging as a potential biocontrol agent against various phytopathogens. These traits have been attributed to the production of various antifungal compounds in the presence of target pathogens. However, the broad molecular mechanisms involved in the antifungal activity are not yet understood.

Selective breeding is a potent method for developing strains with enhanced traits. This study compared the growth performance and stress responses of the genetically improved Abbassa Nile tilapia strain (G9; GIANT-G9) with a local commercial strain over 12 weeks, followed by exposure to stressors including high ammonia (10 mg TAN/L), elevated temperature (37 °C), and both for three days. The GIANT-G9 showed superior growth, including greater weight gain, final weight, length gain, specific growth rate, and protein efficiency ratio, as well as a lower feed conversion ratio and condition factor compared to the commercial strain.

Invasiveness of pituitary adenoma is the main cause of its poor prognosis, mechanism of which remains largely unknown. In this study, the differential proteins between invasive and non-invasive pituitary tumors (IPA and NIPA) were identified by TMT labeled quantitative proteomics. The differential metabolites in venous bloods from patients with IPA and NIPA were analyzed by untargeted metabolomics.

Integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis of anthocyanin metabolism in wheat pericarp.

BMC Genom Data

January 2025

Institute of Biotechnology and Food Science, Hebei Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences/Hebei Key Laboratory of Plant Genetic Engineering, Shijiazhuang, 050000, China.

Background: Wheat seeds display different colors due to the types and contents of anthocyanins, which is closely related to anthocyanin metabolism. In this study, a transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis between white and purple color wheat pericarp aimed to explore some key genes and metabolites involved in anthocyanin metabolism.

Results: Two wheat cultivars, a white seed cultivar Shiluan02-1 and purple seed cultivar Hengzi151 were used to identify the variations in differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially accumulated flavonoids (DAFs).

Key Laboratory of Orthopedics & Traumatology of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Rehabilitation, Ministry of Education Fuzhou 350122, China.

This study aims to explore the mechanism of Zhuanggu Jianxi Decoction in reducing synovial tissue inflammation in human knee osteoarthritis(KOA) via the liver X receptors(LXRs)/nuclear factor(NF)-κB signaling pathway. The synovial tissue samples were collected from 5 healthy volunteers and 30 KOA synovitis patients and cultured in vitro. The samples from the heathy volunteers were set as the normal group, and those from KOA synovitis patients were randomized into synovitis, Zhuanggu Jianxi Decoction, LXRα inhibitor, and N-CoR inhibitor groups.
