Background: It is unknown whether the impact of high diet-quality and physical activity (PA) depends on the level of polygenic risk score (PRS) in different ancestries.
Objective: Determine the associations and interactions between high-risk PRSs, dietary patterns, and high PA with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in European Americans (EAs) and African Americans (AAs). Another aim determined the molecular pathways of PRS-mapped genes and their relationships with dietary intake.
Methods: Cross-sectional analyses utilized de-identified data from 1987-2010 from 7-National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Candidate Gene Association Resource studies from the Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes studies for EAs (n=6,575) and AAs (n=1,606).
Results: The high-risk PRS increased ASCVD risk by 59% (Risk Ratio=1.59;95% Confidence Interval:1.16-2.17) in the highest tertile for AAs and by 15% (RR=1.15;1.13-1.30) and 18% (RR=1.18;1.04-1.35) in the second and highest tertiles compared to the lowest tertile in EAs. Within the highest PRS tertiles, high PA-diet combinations (Dietary Approaches to Stop High Blood Pressure (DASH), or Mediterranean, or Southern) reduced ASCVD risks by 9% (RR=0.91;0.85-0.96) to 15% (RR=0.85;0.80-0.90) in EAs; and by 13% (RR=0.87;0.78-0.97) and 18% (RR=0.82;0.72-0.95) for the DASH and Mediterranean diets, respectively in AAs. Top molecular pathways included fructose metabolism and catabolism linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes in both ancestries. Additional molecular pathways for AAs were Vitamin D linked to depression and aging acceleration; and death signaling associated with cancer.
Conclusions: Effects of high diet-quality and high PA can counterbalance the influences of genetically high-risk PRSs on ASCVD risk, especially in AAs.

Activation of the conserved Hippo kinases by inflammasome-triggered proteolytic cleavage controls programmed cell death in macrophages.

The mammalian Hippo kinases, MST1 and MST2, regulate organ development and suppress tumor formation by balancing cell proliferation and death. In macrophages, inflammasomes detect molecular patterns from invading pathogens or damaged host cells and trigger programmed cell death. In addition to lytic pyroptosis, the signatures associated with apoptosis are induced by inflammasome activation, but how the inflammasomes coordinate different cell death processes remains unclear.

In the ancient microbial Wood-Ljungdahl pathway, carbon dioxide (CO) is fixed in a multistep process that ends with acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) synthesis at the bifunctional carbon monoxide dehydrogenase/acetyl-CoA synthase complex (CODH/ACS). In this work, we present structural snapshots of the CODH/ACS from the gas-converting acetogen , characterizing the molecular choreography of the overall reaction, including electron transfer to the CODH for CO reduction, methyl transfer from the corrinoid iron-sulfur protein (CoFeSP) partner to the ACS active site, and acetyl-CoA production. Unlike CODH, the multidomain ACS undergoes large conformational changes to form an internal connection to the CODH active site, accommodate the CoFeSP for methyl transfer, and protect the reaction intermediates.

Bacterial polysaccharide synthesis is catalysed on the universal lipid carrier, undecaprenol phosphate (UndP). The cellular UndP pool is shared by different polysaccharide synthesis pathways including peptidoglycan biogenesis. Disruptions in cytosolic polysaccharide synthesis steps are detrimental to bacterial survival due to effects on UndP recycling.

DNA methylation is known to be associated with cataracts. In this study, we used a mouse model and performed DNA methylation and transcriptome sequencing analyses to find epigenetic indicators for age-related cataracts (ARC). Anterior lens capsule membrane tissues from young and aged mice were analyzed by MethylRAD-seq to detect the genome-wide methylation of extracted DNA.

Colon cancer, as a highly prevalent malignant tumor globally, poses a significant threat to human health. In recent years, ferroptosis and cuproptosis, as two novel forms of cell death, have attracted widespread attention for their potential roles in the development and treatment of colon cancer. However, the investigation into the subtypes and their impact on the survival of colon cancer patients remains understudied.
