Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a diabetic complication with complex etiology and severe visual impairment. Dysregulated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely associated with DR. This article focused on the impact of lncRNA transmembrane phosphatase with tensin homology pseudogene 1 (TPTEP1) in DR.
Methods: First, sera were collected from DR patients and healthy control. Human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HRVECs) were exposed to high glucose (HG) to construct a DR model in vitro. A real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was carried out to detect TPTEP1. Targeting relationships were predicted using StarBase and TargetScan, and confirmed by the Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay. Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK-8) and EdU staining were applied to measure cell viability and proliferation, respectively. Protein expression was determined by a western blotting assay.
Results: lncRNA TPTEP1 expression was significantly decreased in the serum of DR patients and HG-stimulated HRVECs. Overexpression of TPTEP1 reduced cell viability and proliferation induced by HG and oxidative stress. In addition, overexpression of miR-489-3p impaired the effects of TPTEP1. Nrf2, which was targeted by miR-489-3p, was down-regulated in HG-treatment HRVECs. Knockdown of Nrf2 enhanced the influence of miR-489-3p and antagonized the effects of TPTEP1.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that a TPTEP1/miR-489-3p/NRF2 axis affects the development of DR by regulating oxidative stress.

Cuproptosis, a newly identified form of cell death, has drawn increasing attention for its association with various cancers, though its specific role in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. In this study, transcriptomic and clinical data from CRC patients available in the TCGA database were analyzed to investigate the impact of cuproptosis. Differentially expressed genes linked to cuproptosis were identified using Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA).

The NS1 binding protein, known for interacting with the influenza A virus protein, is involved in RNA processing, cancer, and nerve cell growth regulation. However, its role in stress response independent of viral infections remains unclear. This study investigates NS1 binding protein's function in regulating stress granules during oxidative stress through interactions with GABARAP subfamily proteins.

Research has shown various hydrolyzed proteins possessed beneficial physiological functions; however, the mechanism of how hydrolysates influence metabolism is unclear. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the effects of different sources of protein hydrolysates, being the main dietary protein source in extruded diets, on metabolism in healthy adult dogs. Three complete and balanced extruded canine diets were formulated: control chicken meal diet (CONd), chicken liver and heart hydrolysate diet (CLHd), mechanically separated chicken hydrolysate diet (CHd).

The evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in biofilms, driven by mechanisms like oxidative stress, is a major challenge. This study investigates whether antioxidants (AOs) such as N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and Edaravone (ED) can reduce AMR in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms exposed to sub-inhibitory concentrations of ciprofloxacin (CIP). In vitro experimental evolution studies were conducted using flow cells and glass beads biofilm models.
