Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia characterized by a prominent cognitive deterioration of sufficient magnitude to impair daily living. Increasing studies indicate that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are involved in ferroptosis and AD progression. However, the role of ferroptosis-related ncRNAs in AD remains unexplored.
Methods: We obtained the intersection of differentially expressed genes in GSE5281 (brain tissue expression profile of patients with AD) from the GEO database and ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) from the ferrDb database. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator model along with weighted gene co-expression network analysis screened for FRGs highly associated with AD.
Results: A total of five FRGs were identified and further validated in GSE29378 (area under the curve = 0.877, 95% confidence interval = 0.794-0.960). A competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network of ferroptosis-related hub genes (, , , and ) was subsequently constructed to explore the regulatory mechanism between hub genes, lncRNAs and miRNAs. Finally, CIBERSORT algorithms were used to unravel the immune cell infiltration landscape in AD and normal samples. M1 macrophages and mast cells were more infiltrated whereas memory B cells were less infiltrated in AD samples than in normal samples. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed that LRRFIP1 was positively correlated with M1 macrophages ( = -0.340, < 0.001) whereas ferroptosis-related lncRNAs were negatively correlated with immune cells, wherein miR7-3HG correlated with M1 macrophages and , and correlated with memory B cells (|| > 0.3, < 0.001).
Conclusion: We constructed a novel ferroptosis-related signature model including mRNAs, miRNAs and lncRNAs, and characterized its association with immune infiltration in AD. The model provides novel ideas for the pathologic mechanism elucidation and targeted therapy development of AD.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The gut microbiota, along with adenomatous polyps (AP), has emerged as a plausible contributor to CRC progression. This study aimed to scrutinize the impact of the FadA antigen derived from Fusobacterium nucleatum on the expression levels of the ANXA2 ceRNA network and assess its relevance to CRC advancement.

This study aimed to identify shared gene expression related to circadian rhythm disruption in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to discover common diagnostic biomarkers. Visceral fat RNA samples were collected from 12 PCOS and 14 non-PCOS patients, a sample size representing the clinical situation and sufficient to capture PCOS gene expression profiles. Along with liver transcriptome profiles from NAFLD patients, these data were analyzed to identify crosstalk circadian rhythm-related genes (CRRGs) between the diseases.

Objectives: To investigate the association of NUF2 expression with tumor prognosis and its regulatory role in tumor microenvironment.
Methods: We analyzed NUF2 expression, its prognostic value, and is immune-related functions across different cancer types using datasets from the Human Protein Atlas (HPA), TCGA, GTEx, CCLE, and TIMER. RT-qPCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to detect NUF2 expression in liver cancer cell lines and tissue and blood samples from patients with liver cancer.

Background: Breast cancer is a highly malignant disease worldwide, but there are currently no sufficient molecular biomarkers to predict patient prognosis and guide radiotherapy. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is an important factor affecting tumor biological function, and changes in its composition are equally relevant to tumor progression and prognosis during radiotherapy.
Methods: Here, we performed bioinformatic analyses using data obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases to screen for molecular biomarkers related to the TME that may influence radiotherapy sensitivity.
