AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates how oxalate affects rat renal tubular epithelial cells using a proteomic approach to identify changes in protein expression.
  • It found 268 different proteins that were expressed differently in cells treated with oxalate compared to control cells, highlighting pathways like oxidative stress and inflammation.
  • Certain proteins were identified as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets, providing insights into preventing kidney damage and kidney stone formation caused by high oxalate levels.

Article Abstract

Our study aimed to apply a proteomic approach to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of oxalate on rat renal tubular epithelial cells. NRK-52E cells were treated with or without oxalate and subjected to quantitative proteomics to identify key proteins and key pathological changes under high oxalate stimulation. A total of 268 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between oxalate-treated and control groups were identified, with 132 up-regulated and 136 down-regulated proteins. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that DEPs are associated with oxidative stress, apoptosis, ferroptosis, pro-inflammatory cytokines, vitamin D, and biomineralization. SPP1, MFGE8, ANKS1A, and NAP1L1 were up-regulated in the oxalate-treated cells and the hyperoxaluric stone-forming rats, while SUB1, RNPS1, and DGLUCY were down-regulated in both cases. This altered proteomic landscape sheds light on the pathological processes involved in oxalate-induced renal damage and identifies potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets to mitigate the effects of hyperoxaluria and reduce the risk of CaOx stone formation.

RNA-protein interactions orchestrate hundreds of pathways in homeostatic and stressed cells. We applied an RNA-protein interactome capture method called protein cross-linked RNA extraction (XRNAX) to shed light on the RNA-bound proteome in dysmyelination. We found sets of canonical RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulating alternative splicing and engaged in the cytoplasmic granules to be perturbed at the level of their RNA interactome.

Osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) is characterized not only by ischemic bone tissue necrosis but also by cartilage degeneration, which plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of ONFH. The molecular communication between tissues contributes to disease progression, however the communication between cartilage and subchondral bone in the progression of ONFH remains unclear. In this study, we integrated transcriptomic data from ONFH cartilage and subchondral bone, exploring common differentially expressed genes (DEGs), pathway and function enrichment analyses, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and hub genes to comprehensively study molecular integration.

The Gulf of Maine, home to American lobster, Homarus americanus, is experiencing rapid ocean warming (OW) and acidification (OA) due to climate change. While some studies have investigated the effects of either ocean acidification (OA) or warming (OW) on lobsters, few explore the interaction of these stressors, particularly on gene expression. We evaluated the effects of OA and OW on early benthic juvenile lobster transcriptomics using RNA sequencing and RT-qPCR through two distinct aquarium experiments.

Background: Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a chronic disease of the gastric mucosa characterized by a reduction or an absolute disappearance of the original gastric glands, possibly replaced by pseudopyloric fibrosis, intestinal metaplasia, or fibrosis. CAG develops progressively into intestinal epithelial metaplasia, dysplasia, and ultimately, gastric cancer. Epidemiological statistics have revealed a positive correlation between the incidence of CAG and age.
