Background: Triosephosphate isomerase 1 (TPI1), as a widely involved glycolytic enzyme, plays a significant role in glucose metabolism and is highly expressed in various tumors. However, its role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains incompletely understood.
Methods: Through bioinformatic analysis, we identified a positive association between high expression of TPI1 and metastasis in LUAD. Western blot, RT-qPCR, wound healing assays and transwell experiments, were employed to investigate potential mechanisms.
Results: In this study, bioinformatic analysis showed that high expression of TPI1 was associated with poor prognosis in LUAD patients. We examined the expression of TPI1 in 29 paired LUAD tissues and found that TPI1 expression was higher in LUAD tissues than in paired adjacent noncancerous tissues. Meanwhile, overexpression of TPI1 promoted the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in LUAD cells, while silencing TPI1 weakened the EMT process. Furthermore, TPI1 was shown to regulate EMT through the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.
Conclusion: TPI1 promotes LUAD metastasis by activating the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.

Pseudouridine (Ψ) is the most abundant RNA modification in nature; however, not much is known about the biological functions of this modified nucleoside. Employing an unbiased quantitative proteomics method, we identified multiple candidate reader proteins of Ψ in RNA, including a cytoskeletal protein profilin-1 (PFN1). We demonstrated that PFN1 binds directly and selectively to Ψ-containing RNA.

Klotho has been importantly linked to atherosclerosis, but little is known about its specific role. This study investigates the mechanism by which Klotho enhances the stability of atherosclerotic plaques in chronic kidney disease. apoE-/- knockout mice and C57BL/6 mice underwent 5/6 nephrectomy and then klotho-NC and klotho-mimic groups were set up to be fed a high-fat chow diet and a dummy group was created to be fed a normal chow diet.

Objective: Glucose metabolism is the main way in which cells obtain energy during exercise and plays an important role in exercise. The purpose of this study was to explore the changes in the expression of glucose metabolism-related proteins in urine after running, and finally applied to the monitoring of running training.
Methods: Urine samples were collected before and after running, and urine proteomics information was collected to explore the expression of proteins in the urine using LC-MS/MS in DDA mode and DIA mode.

Background: Glycolysis plays a major role in progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Here, we aim to explore the predictive signature based on glycolysis-related genes for predicting the prognosis and identified a potential therapeutic target for IPF.
Methods: Gene expression data of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells and clinical information were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.
