Background: Diagnosed as a kind of vascular neoplasm of infancy, hemangioma (HA) occurs mainly due to the aberrant proliferation of endothelial cells. Existing evidence has manifested the close relationship of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) with the pathogenesis of HA. Although lncRNA DSCAM antisense RNA 1 (DSCAM-AS1) has been revealed to be implicated in the progression of human diseases, the underlying mechanism DSCAM-AS1 exerts in HA formation is unclear.
Aims: To figure out how DSCAM-AS1 may regulate the progression of human hemangioma endothelial cells (HemECs).
Methods: DSCAM-AS1 expression was verified through RT-qPCR detection. Functional assays including EdU assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry analysis, TUNEL assay, and transwell assay were applied to evaluate cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration upon DSCAM-AS1 knockdown. Moreover, RNA pull-down assay, luciferase reporter assay, RIP assay, and other mechanism experiments were utilized for evaluating the correlation of DSCAM-AS1 and RNAs in HemECs.
Results: DSCAM-AS1 knockdown inhibited proliferative capability and migratory capability of HemECs whereas expedited apoptosis. Molecular mechanism results testified DSCAM-AS1 could function as a ceRNA to bind miR-411-5p in HemECs. Besides, it was confirmed that tumor protein D52 (TPD52) served as a downstream target of miR-411-5p in HemECs. More importantly, related rescue assays uncovered that elevated expression of TPD52 or inhibited expression of miR-411-5p reversed the repressive progression of HemECs mediated by DSCAM-AS1 depletion.
Conclusion: DSCAM-AS1 expedited HA progression via miR-411-5p/TPD52 pathway, which provided a novel therapeutic option for HA treatment.

Background: Endogenous retrovirus (ERV) elements are genomic footprints of ancestral retroviral infections within the human genome. While the dysregulation of ERV transcription has been linked to immune cell infiltration in various cancers, its relationship with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) response in solid tumors, particularly metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), remains inadequately explored.
Methods: This study analyzed patients with metastatic ccRCC from two prospective clinical trials, encompassing 181 patients receiving nivolumab in the CheckMate trials (-009 to -010 and -025) and 48 patients treated with the ipilimumab-nivolumab combination in the BIONIKK trial.

Exosomes play a role in cell communication by transporting content between cells. Here, we tested whether renal podocyte-derived exosomes affect the injury of glomerular endothelial cells in lupus nephritis (LN). We found that exosomes containing high levels of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) were released from podocytes in patients with LN, BALB/c mice injected with pristane (which induces lupus-like disease in mice), and cultured human renal glomerular endothelial cells (HRGECs) treated with LN plasma.

A fluorescent probe (NBC), constructed by benzothiazole-coumarin and naphthalimide derivatives, was developed for the detection of SO derivatives using the FRET (Förster Resonance Energy Transfer) strategy. NBC presented large Stokes shift (180 nm), fast response (2 min), high sensitivity (LOD: 45 nM) and an excellent linear relationship in response to SO derivatives. Moreover, NBC has been successfully applied to detect SO derivatives in food samples and living cells.

Keratinocytes are the primary component of the epidermis, so maintaining the precise balance between proliferation and differentiation is essential for conserving epidermal structure and function. Rosae multiflorae fructus extract (RMFE) has wide application in the cosmetic industry, but the molecular mechanisms underlying beneficial effects on keratinocytes are still not fully understood. In this study, we found that RMFE promoted epidermal differentiation and enhanced the barrier function of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) and three-dimensional epidermis model in culture.
