Background And Aim: Dysregulation of gene expression is associated to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Further, research indicates that dairy consumption may potentially affect gene expression. The aim of this study was to examine if genes and pathways associated with T2D are differentially changed in subjects with hyperinsulinemia after high dairy (HD) diet.
Methods And Results: Ten obese patients with hyperinsulinemia who consumed HD (4 servings/day according to the Canadian Food Guide (2007)) for six weeks participated in this study. Before and after HD consumption, fasting blood samples were collected. Blood was taken in PAX-gene tubes and RNA was extracted and analyzed using Clariom S microarrays. Results indicated that 236 genes (137 up-regulated and 99 down-regulated; fold change (FC) ≥ ±1.2; p < 0.05) were expressed differentially between before and after HD intake. Genes related to pathways associated with insulin signaling and inflammation, such as olfactory receptor activity, G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), phosphatidylinositol-3-OHKinase (PI3K)/AKT2 (PI3K-AKT2), Ras signaling, Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) were altered following HD.
Conclusion: Overall, results suggest a potential protective effect of HD intake in individuals at risk of T2D through modification of gene expression profiles.

Gastric cancer is an aggressive malignancy characterized by significant clinical heterogeneity arising from complex genetic and environmental interactions. This study employed single-cell RNA sequencing, using the 10 × Genomics platform, to analyze 262,532 cells from gastric cancer samples, identifying 32 distinct clusters and 10 major cell types, including immune cells (e.g.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of kidney cancer with a high metastatic rate and high mortality rate. The molecular mechanism of ccRCC development, however, needs further study. Aurora kinase B (AURKB) functions as an important oncogene in various tumors; therefore, in the present study, we aimed to explore the mechanism by which AURKB affects ccRCC development.

Background: Depression constitutes a risk factor for osteoporosis, but underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms are not fully understood. MiRNAs influence gene expression and are carried by extracellular vesicles (EV), affecting cell-cell communication.
Aims: (1) Identify the difference in miRNA expression between depressed patients and healthy controls; (2) Analyze associations of these miRNAs with bone turnover markers; (3) Analyze target genes of differentially regulated miRNAs and predict associated pathways regarding depression and bone metabolism.

This research seeks to address the gap in past studies by examining the role of the Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) and HO-1 (heme oxygenase-1) signaling pathways in hypoxia and the potential effects of alpha-pinene on these factors. Wistar rats were divided into 7 experimental groups (n = 7): 1) control, 2 and 3) groups receiving alpha-pinene 5 and 10 mg/kg (i.p.
