The signaling pathways behind severe astrocytic lysis with Aquaporin4 auto-antibody (AQP4-IgG) seropositivity, and reactive astrocytosis with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein auto-antibody (MOG-IgG) seropositivity, remain largely unexplored in Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), while almost no molecular details being known about double-seronegative (DN) patients. Recent discovery of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in DN NMOSD patients' cerebrospinal fluid, akin to AQP4-IgG + ve cases, suggests astrocytopathy. Here, we aim to study small non coding RNA (sncRNA) signature alterations in astrocytes exposed to AQP4-IgG + ve and MOG-IgG + ve patient sera, and their potential resemblance with DN-NMOSD.

The association between idiopathic venous thrombosis and occult cancer is widely recognized. However, the comprehensive understanding of how thrombin, generated during the process of thrombosis, possesses the potential to augment the malignant phenotype is still not well understood. The coagulation protease thrombin mediates its effects by cleaving protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1), a receptor abundantly expressed on the surface of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells.

Human interferon (IFN) lambda (IFNL, IFN-L or IFN-λ) locus has several functional genetic variants but their role in regulating in vivo gene expression, and whether they associate with antiviral states in healthy individuals, is not clear. In this study, we recruited ∼550 healthy individuals belonging to both sexes, genotyped them for several IFNL genetic variants and measured, by qPCR, the expression of IFNL2/3, IFNL4 and four IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) (MX1, OAS1, ISG15 and RSAD2) from their peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) both before and after stimulation with a viral mimic, poly I: C. We also measured secreted levels of several cytokines including IFN-λ1 and IFN-λ3 in poly I:C stimulated PBMCs.

Gap junctions (GJs) play a crucial role in the survival of oligodendrocytes and myelination of the central nervous system (CNS). In this study, we investigated the spatiotemporal changes in the expression of oligodendroglial GJ protein connexin 47 (Cx47), its primary astroglial coupling partner, Cx43, and their association with demyelination following intracerebral infection with mouse hepatitis virus (MHV). Neurotropic strains of MHV, a β-coronavirus, induce an acute encephalomyelitis followed by a chronic demyelinating disease that shares similarities with the human disease multiple sclerosis (MS).

Clinical biomarkers such as fasting glucose, HbA1c, and fasting insulin, which gauge glycemic status in the body, are highly influenced by diet. Indians are genetically predisposed to type 2 diabetes and their carbohydrate-centric diet further elevates the disease risk. Despite the combined influence of genetic and environmental risk factors, Indians have been inadequately explored in the studies of glycemic traits.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) drives cervical cancer (CaCx) pathogenesis and viral oncoproteins jeopardize global gene expression in such cancers. In this study, our aim was to identify differentially expressed coding (DEcGs) and long noncoding RNA genes (DElncGs) specifically sense intronic and Natural Antisense Transcripts as they are located in the genic regions and may have a direct influence on the expression pattern of their neighbouring coding genes. We compared HPV16-positive CaCx patients (N = 44) with HPV-negative normal individuals (N = 34) by employing strand-specific RNA-seq and determined the relationships between DEcGs and DElncGs and their clinical implications.

Coagulation proteases, in addition to playing an essential role in blood coagulation, often influence diverse cellular functions by inducing specific signaling pathways via the activation of protease-activated receptors (PARs). PAR activation-induced cellular effects are known to be cell-specific as PARs are expressed selectively in specific cell types. However, a growing body of evidence indicates that coagulation protease-induced PAR activation in a specific cell type could affect cellular responses in other cell types via communicating through extracellular vesicles (EVs) as coagulation protease-induced PAR signaling could promote the release of EVs in various cell types.
