AI Article Synopsis

  • Colorectal cancer (CRC) is common and linked to oxidative stress, prompting the creation of a risk model based on oxidative stress-related long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) to improve prognosis and treatment.
  • Researchers identified 9 key lncRNAs using bioinformatics, finding that patients in high-risk groups had significantly worse overall survival, and the risk model showed strong predictive capability.
  • The findings suggest that certain CRC subgroups may respond better to immune checkpoint inhibitors, highlighting the potential for using oxidative stress-related lncRNAs in developing targeted immunotherapies.

Article Abstract

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. Oxidative stress reactions have been reportedly associated with oncogenesis and tumor progression. By analyzing mRNA expression data and clinical information from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we aimed to construct an oxidative stress-related long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) risk model and identify oxidative stress-related biomarkers to improve the prognosis and treatment of CRC.

Results: Differentially expressed oxidative stress-related genes (DEOSGs) and oxidative stress-related lncRNAs were identified by using bioinformatics tools. An oxidative stress-related lncRNA risk model was constructed based on 9 lncRNAs (AC034213.1, AC008124.1, LINC01836, USP30-AS1, AP003555.1, AC083906.3, AC008494.3, AC009549.1, and AP006621.3) by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analysis. The patients were then divided into high- and low-risk groups based on the median risk score. The high-risk group had a significantly worse overall survival (OS) (p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and calibration curves displayed the favorable predictive performance of the risk model. The nomogram successfully quantified the contribution of each metric to survival, and the concordance index and calibration plots demonstrated its excellent predictive capacity. Notably, different risk subgroups showed significant differences in terms of their metabolic activity, mutation landscape, immune microenvironment and drug sensitivity. Specifically, differences in the immune microenvironment implied that CRC patients in certain subgroups might be more responsive to immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Conclusions: Oxidative stress-related lncRNAs can predict the prognosis of CRC patients, which provides new insight for future immunotherapies based on potential oxidative stress targets.

Objective: Osteoporosis is a systemic disease with high morbidity and significant adverse effects. Increasing evidence supports the close relationship between oxidative stress and osteoporosis, suggesting that treatment with antioxidants may be a viable approach. This study evaluated the antioxidant properties of dichotomitin (DH) and its potential protective effects against osteoporosis.

The study aimed to compare the oxidative stress status in the kidney tissue of rats treated with paraquat and nanoparaquat. The levels of oxidative stress markers, including malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and thiol groups (TTG), were measured in the kidney tissue samples. A total of forty male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to eight groups, each consisting of five rats: a control group, a paraquat (PQ) group, an N-acetylcysteine (NAC) group, groups receiving nanoparaquat α and β (α and β), groups receiving PQ and NAC (PQ + NAC), and groups receiving nanoparaquat α and β with NAC (+ NACα and β).

D1-104/3 and C31-106/3 differentially modulate the antioxidative response of duckweed ( L.) to salt stress.

Article Synopsis
  • Duckweed is a valuable model for studying plant responses to stress, specifically focusing on how bacterial strains D1-104/3 and C31-106/3 influence growth and stress responses under salt stress (10 and 100 mM NaCl).
  • The experiment measured various physiological parameters after 14 days, revealing that both bacterial strains colonized duckweeds and affected growth differently, with C31-106/3 showing a longer doubling time but reducing chlorosis.
  • Results indicated that both bacterial strains enhanced antioxidant capacity and reduced oxidative stress, with significant differences in their impacts on proline, chlorophyll, and enzyme activities, particularly at higher salt concentrations.

The role of oxidative stress metabolism during hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) formation potentially allows for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of oxidative stress activity for early and precise HCC detection. However, there is currently limited data available on oxidative-stress-related PET imaging for longitudinal monitoring of the pathophysiological changes during HCC formation. This work aimed to explore PET-based longitudinal monitoring of oxidative stress metabolism and determine the sensitivity of [18F]-5-fluoroaminosuberic acid ([18F]FASu) for assessing pathophysiological processes in diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced rat HCC.
