Recently, an increasing number of studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in host metabolism after infection with pseudorabies virus (PRV). In our study, via RNA sequencing analysis, a total of 418 mRNAs, 137 annotated lncRNAs, and 312 new lncRNAs were found to be differentially expressed. These lncRNAs were closely associated with metabolic regulation and immunity-related signalling pathways, including the T-cell receptor signalling pathway, chemokine signalling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway, TNF signalling pathway, Ras signalling pathway, calcium signalling pathway, and phosphatidylinositol signalling system. Real-time PCR indicated that several mRNAs and lncRNAs involved in the regulation of the immune effector process, T-cell receptor signalling pathway, TNF signalling pathway, MAPK signalling pathway, and chemokine signalling pathways were significantly expressed. These mRNAs and lncRNAs might play a role in PRV infection.

Background: Several studies have shown the influential role of nutraceuticals on cognition and mental functions. Dihydroxytrimethoxyflavone, a natural flavone found in herbal drugs, is documented to be neuroprotective in different model systems. Nevertheless, possible memory improvement effects of dihydroxytrimethoxyflavone via nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) (a crucial regulator of antioxidative system) has not been systematically evaluated.

Objective: Elevated systolic blood pressure and increased pulse pressure are closely associated with renal damage; however, the exact mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of increased pulse pressure on tubulointerstitial fibrosis and renal damage in elderly rats with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). Additionally, the role of renal tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its upstream signalling pathways were elucidated.

Doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) has been revealed to be involved in modulating cancer stemness and tumor progression, but its role in prostate cancer (PCa) remains obscure. Castration-resistant and metastatic PCa exhibit aggressive behaviors, and current therapeutic approaches have shown limited beneficial effects on the overall survival rate of patients with advanced PCa. This study aimed to investigate the biological role and potential molecular mechanism of DCLK1 in the progression of PCa.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common and aggressive malignancies of the urinary system. Despite being the first-line treatment for advanced ccRCC, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitors (VEGFRis) face significant limitations due to both initial and acquired resistance, which impede complete tumor eradication. Using a CRISPR/Cas9 library screening approach, was identified as a resistance-associated gene for three prevalent VEGFRis (Sunitinib, Axitinib, and Sorafenib).

Inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase E (INPP5E) is a 5-phosphatase critically involved in diverse physiological processes, including embryonic development, neurological function, immune regulation, hemopoietic cell dynamics, and macrophage proliferation, differentiation, and phagocytosis. Mutations in cause Joubert and Meckel-Gruber syndromes in humans; these are characterized by brain malformations, microphthalmia, situs inversus, skeletal abnormalities, and polydactyly. Recent studies have demonstrated the key role of INPP5E in governing intracellular processes like endocytosis, exocytosis, vesicular trafficking, and membrane dynamics.
