Background: Keloid is a benign proliferative fibrous disease featured by excessive fibroblast proliferation after skin injury. However, the mechanism of abnormal cell proliferation is still unclear. Herein, we investigated the mechanism of abnormal proliferation in keloids involving Sirtuin 1(SIRT1)/ Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2)/ Runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3). METHODS: HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes. Western blot was performed to detect SIRT1/EZH2/RUNX3 and cell cycle related proteins. RT-PCR detected EZH2 mRNA. After knockdown of EZH2 or overexpression of RUNX3, cell proliferation and cell cycle was analyzed. Immunoprecipitation was used to detect acetylated EZH2.
Results: The results showed that overexpression of RUNX3 inhibited cell proliferation and arrested cell cycle at G1/S phase, whereas inhibition of SIRT1 promoted cell proliferation and G1/S phase of the cell cycle. Knockdown of EZH2 promoted the expression of RUNX3, inhibited cell proliferation and shortened the progression of G1 to S phase. Simultaneous knockdown of EZH2 and inhibition of SIRT1 reversed these effects. Inhibition of SIRT1 increased its protein stability by increasing EZH2 acetylation, thereby reducing the expression of RUNX3 and promoting cell proliferation.
Conclusions: Conclusively, the SIRT1/EZH2/RUNX3 axis may be an important pathway in the regulation of abnormal proliferation in keloids.

This study utilizes single-cell RNA sequencing data to reveal the transcriptomic characteristics of breast cancer and normal epithelial cells. Nine significant cell populations were identified through stringent quality control and batch effect correction. Further classification of breast cancer epithelial cells based on the PAM50 method and clinical subtypes highlighted significant heterogeneity between triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-triple-negative breast cancer (NTNBC).

Tyrosinase is a rate-limiting enzyme for melanogenesis and abnormal melanin production can be controlled by utilizing tyrosinase inhibitory substances. To develop potent and safe inhibitors of tyrosinase, complex tannins a narrowly distributed plant polyphenols were prepared from the fruit peel of Euryale ferox (EPTs) and then structurally characterized, as well as investigated for their inhibitory effects and the involved mechanisms against tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis. The structures of EPTs were established to consist of 63.

In the past few years, three protein molecules-USP53, NPY2R, and DCTN1-AS1-have garnered significant attention in scientific research due to their potential implications in tumor development. Mass spectrometry and proteomics techniques were used to analyze the three-dimensional structure of these protein molecules and predict their active sites and functional domains. The effects of USP53, NPY2R and DCTN1-AS1 on biological behavior of tumor cells were studied by constructing gene knockout and overexpression cell models.

As temperatures rise due to increasingly severe global warming, the effect of high temperatures on wildlife, including green sea turtles, is one of the issues that must be addressed to ensure the conservation of biodiversity. In the current study, we found that green sea turtle cell death due to apoptosis occurred at 37 °C, which suppressed cell proliferation. We also found that high temperature-induced heat stress led to the accumulation of DNA damage in green sea turtle cells.
