Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90), a major molecular chaperone, plays a crucial role in cell function by folding and stabilizing proteins and maintaining proteostasis. This study aimed to elucidate the prognostic impact of HSP90 in cervical cancer. We analyzed HSP90 expression using immunohistochemistry in cervical cancer tissue microarrays from 250 patients. This study investigated correlations between HSP90 expression levels and key clinical outcomes, including overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and FIGO classification. The statistical analyses employed included the Kruskal-Wallis-H test, log-rank (Mantel-Cox), and Cox regression. Our findings indicate that high nuclear HSP90 expression is associated with improved OS, while high cytoplasmic HSP90 expression correlates with better PFS and a lower FIGO classification in cervical squamous cell carcinoma patients. These results suggest that HSP90 could serve as a positive prognostic factor in patients diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinoma, underlining its potential as a biomarker for patient prognosis and as a target for therapeutic strategies.

Coding and non-coding transcripts modulated by transparent and blue PET micro-nanoplastics in Arabidopsis thaliana.

To get further insights on the micro-nanoplastic (MNP) effects on plants, the aim of this study was to evaluate the response of hydroponically cultivated Arabidopsis thaliana to the presence of differentially colored polyethylene terephthalate (PET) particles. MNP impacts on the root organ were studied at a molecular level, with a special focus on the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAS) in the regulation of gene expression after PET exposure. MNPs of transparent (Tr-PET) and blue (Bl-PET) material at environmentally realistic concentration caused a significant reduction in root length, while only Bl-PET significantly reduced rosette area.

This study aimed to investigate the potential role of Colquhounia Root Tablets against bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis(RA) and its molecular mechanism. The study used ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to analyze the major components of Colquhounia Root Tablets and predicted its candidate target gene set based on the major components. The key targets of RA bone destruction were obtained through GeneCards and the Database of Genetics and Medical Literature(OMIM), protein-protein interaction(PPI) network was constructed, and the key targets were identified by topological analysis.

Oxidative stress and apoptosis are highly engaged in development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). In monotherapy, dapagliflozin and pioglitazone positively modulate target organ damage even independently of their hypoglycaemic effect. This study evaluated whether a simultaneous PPARγ activation and SGLT cotransporter inhibition offer superior protection against DN-related oxidative and apoptotic processes in a T1DM rat model.
