Despite the identification of driver mutations leading to the initiation of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), the molecular pathogenesis of MPNs remains incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that growth arrest and DNA damage inducible gamma (GADD45g) is expressed at significantly lower levels in patients with MPNs, and JAK2V617F mutation and histone deacetylation contribute to its reduced expression. Downregulation of GADD45g plays a tumor-promoting role in human MPN cells. Gadd45g insufficiency in the murine hematopoietic system alone leads to significantly enhanced growth and self-renewal capacity of myeloid-biased hematopoietic stem cells, and the development of phenotypes resembling MPNs. Mechanistically, the pathogenic role of GADD45g insufficiency is mediated through a cascade of activations of RAC2, PAK1 and PI3K-AKT signaling pathways. These data characterize GADD45g deficiency as a novel pathogenic factor in MPNs.

Sex-biased difference in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalization has been observed as that male patients tend to be more likely to be hospitalized than female patients. However, due to the insufficient sample size and existed studies that more prioritized to sex-stratified COVID-19 genome-wide association study (GWAS), the searching for sex-biased genetic variants showing differential association signals between sexes with COVID-19 hospitalization was severely hindered. We hypothesized genetic variants would show potentially sex-biased genetic effects on COVID-19 hospitalization if they display significant differential association effect sizes between male and female COVID-19 patients.

Aims: Cell cycle arrest plays critical roles in preventing renal tubular epithelial cell (RTEC) injury and maladaptation after the onset of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the underlying mechanism governing this arrest has not been fully elucidated. This study was designed to determine the underlying role of YB-1 in promoting cell cycle progression and nuclear translocation in HK-2 cells induced by trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO).
Main Methods: YB-1 primarily accumulated in the cytoplasm in HK-2 cells after they were treated with TMAO for 30 min and 6 h.
