Purpose: This study seeks to investigate the fundamental molecular processes through which histone deacetylase 9 (HDAC9) governs the proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells in the context of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) and to identify novel targets for clinical research on IgAN.
Methods: Data from high-throughput RNA sequencing for IgAN were procured from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to assess the expression profiles and clinical diagnostic significance of histone deacetylase family proteins (HDACs). Blood samples from 20 IgAN patients were employed in RT-qPCR analysis, and the spearman linear regression method was utilized to analyze the clinical correlation. The proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) under the influence of HDAC9 was examined using the 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay. Proteins interacting with HDAC9 were predicted utilizing the STRING database. Immunoprecipitation and protein immunoblotting employing anti-acetylated lysine antibodies were conducted to determine the acetylation status of calmodulin-like protein 6 (CALML6).
Results: Analysis of the GSE141295 dataset revealed a significant upregulation of HDAC9 expression in IgAN and the results of RT-qPCR demonstrated a substantial increase in HDAC9 expression in IgAN patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis indicated that the area under the curve (AUC) value for HDAC9 were 0.845 and Spearman correlation analysis showed that HDAC9 expression was positively correlated with blood levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Crea). The EdU cell proliferation assay indicated that HDAC9 facilitated the excessive proliferation of GMCs. The STRING database and recovery experiments identified CALML6 as a downstream effector of HDAC9 in controlling abnormal GMC multiplication. Co-immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that HDAC9 modulates CALML6 expression through acetylation modification.
Conclusion: HDAC9 is markedly upregulated in IgAN, and it mediates the excessive proliferation of GMCs by regulating the deacetylation of CALML6.

Osteosarcoma is a common malignant tumor found in adolescents, characterized by a high metastatic potential and poor prognosis, but it is sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Ferroptosis is a novel form of regulated cell death induced by excessive iron accumulation, leading to lipid peroxidation that results in cellular dysfunction and death. Naringenin is a flavonoid known for its anti-cancer properties, yet its role in osteosarcoma has not been thoroughly studied.

Introduction: Keloids are a common skin disorder characterized by excessive fibrous tissue proliferation, which can significantly impact patients' health. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death, plays a crucial role in the development of fibrosis; however, its role in the mechanisms of keloid formation remains poorly understood.
Methods: This study aimed to identify key genes associated with ferroptosis in keloid formation.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex and dynamic three-dimensional network that functions as an architectural scaffold to maintain cardiac homeostasis. Important biochemical and mechanical signals associated with cell‒cell communication are provided via the reciprocal interaction between cells and the ECM. By converting mechanical cues into biochemical signals, the ECM regulates many cell processes, including migration, adhesion, growth, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis.
