Unlabelled: Despite the high morbidity of thyroid cancer (THCA), the underlying molecular pathology remains elusive. That autism-associated protein POGZ has recently been involved in tumorigenesis intrigues us exploring its relevant molecular regulatory network in THCA. Clinical characteristics and intermolecular relationships were dissected by bioinformatics. Interaction between POGZ and MAD2L2 was examined by Co-IP assay. Targeting relationships between miR-27b-3p and POGZ/LINC01355 was verified by sequence prediction and dual-luciferase reporter detection. Cellular effects of genes were assessed by CCK-8 assay, clone formation assay, and Transwell assay, and further confirmed by a tumor-bearing nude mice model. Our results demonstrated a decrease in POGZ expression in THCA tissues and cell lines, and an interaction between POGZ and MAD2L2 protein. POGZ inhibited both the proliferation and motility of THCA cells, with these effects being reversed upon MAD2L2 silencing. LINC01355 exhibited low expression level and a positive correlation with POGZ in THCA. Both miR-27b-3p and LINC01355 were identified as regulators of POGZ through targeting. Elevated miR-27b-3p suppressed POGZ expression. LINC01355 promoted POGZ and counteracted the inhibitory effects of miR-27b-3p. Furthermore, miR-27b-3p increased the proliferation and motility of THCA cells, an effect that was blocked by LINC01355. At the animal level, POGZ, LINC01355, and MAD2L2 all attenuated tumor growth in THCA. Collectively, POGZ restrains THCA growth by interacting with MAD2L2 protein, and POGZ modulation involves a complex interplay orchestrated by LINC01355-targeted miR-27b-3p. By reporting the first POGZ-focused ceRNA network involving noncoding RNA in THCA, our study paves the way for exploring POGZ-related pathways and developing new therapeutic strategies in cancer.

Unlabelled: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a group of complex neurodevelopmental disorders and is characterized by impaired reciprocal social interaction and communication, as well as the presence of restricted interests and stereotyped and repetitive behaviors. As a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, the phenotype and severity of autism are extremely heterogeneous, with differences from one patient to another. Chromosome microarray (CMA) and fragile X syndrome analyses has been used as a powerful tool to identify new candidate genes for ASD.

White-Sutton syndrome (WSS), associated with gene mutations, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a spectrum of phenotypic features, including intellectual disabilities, developmental delays, and epilepsy. A case report described a female patient diagnosed with WSS who experienced seizures resistant to conventional antiseizure medications. Despite various therapeutic attempts, including valproate, topiramate, levetiracetam, clobazam, rufinamide, and vigabatrin, the patient's seizures persisted.

The CHAMP1 complex, a little-known but highly conserved protein complex consisting of CHAMP1, POGZ, and HP1α, is enriched in heterochromatin though its cellular function in these regions of the genome remain unknown. Here we show that the CHAMP complex promotes heterochromatin assembly at multiple chromosomal sites, including centromeres and telomeres, and promotes homology-directed repair (HDR) of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in these regions. The CHAMP1 complex is also required for heterochromatin assembly and DSB repair in highly-specialized chromosomal regions, such as the highly-compacted telomeres of ALT (Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres) positive tumor cells.

The TFIIS N-terminal domain (TND) is a crucial protein scaffold that selectively recognizes disordered ligands, known as TND-interacting motifs (TIMs). Understanding the specific mechanisms of TND-TIM interactions is essential for deciphering the transcription machinery. Here, we investigated the conformational ensembles of the TND-TIM interaction module using molecular dynamics simulations.
