Nuclear matrix protein (NXP-2) positive amyopathic dermatomyositis (DM) may present without classic symptoms like muscle weakness, dysphagia, and edema, and mimic conditions like cutaneous lupus. Given DM's association with malignancy and interstitial lung disease, prompt and accurate diagnosis is important. Testing for myositis-specific antibodies aids diagnosis in ambiguous cases.

Tamoxifen (TAM) is employed to treat premenopausal ER-positive breast cancer patients, but TAM resistance is the main reason affecting its efficacy. Thus, addressing TAM resistance is crucial for improving therapeutic outcomes. This study explored the potential role of Tinagl1, a secreted extracellular matrix protein, whose expression is compromised in TAM-resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cells (MCF-7R).

Enhancer clusters, pivotal in mammalian development and diseases, can organize as enhancer networks to control cell identity and disease genes; however, the underlying mechanism remains largely unexplored. Here, we introduce eNet 2.0, a comprehensive tool for enhancer networks analysis during development and diseases based on single-cell chromatin accessibility data.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is increasingly thought to be a multifactorial disease in which sustained gut inflammation serves as a continued source of inflammatory mediators driving degenerative processes at distant sites such as joints. The objective of this study was to use the equine model of naturally occurring obesity associated OA to compare the fecal microbiome in OA and health and correlate those findings to differential gene expression synovial fluid (SF) cells, circulating leukocytes and cytokine levels (plasma, SF) towards improved understanding of the interplay between microbiome and immune transcriptome in OA pathophysiology.

Methods: Feces, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and SF cells were isolated from healthy skeletally mature horses (n=12; 6 males, 6 females) and those with OA (n=6, 2 females, 4 males).

Dipeptidase 1 (DPEP1), initially identified as a renal membrane enzyme in mature human kidneys, plays a pivotal role in various cellular processes. It facilitates the exchange of materials and signal transduction across cell membranes, contributing significantly to dipeptide hydrolysis, glucose and lipid metabolism, immune inflammation, and ferroptosis, among other cellular functions. Extensive research has delineated the complex role of DPEP1 in oncogenesis and tumor progression, with its influence being context dependent.
