Objective: Post-resuscitation brain injury is a common sequela after cardiac arrest (CA). Increasing sirtuin1 (SIRT1) has been involved in neuroprotection in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) neurons, and we investigated its mechanism in post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rat brain injury by mediating p65 deacetylation modification to mediate hippocampal neuronal ferroptosis.

Methods: Sprague-Dawley rat CA/CPR model was established and treated with Ad-SIRT1 and Ad-GFP adenovirus vectors, or Erastin.

Osteosarcoma is a cancerous bone tumor that develops from mesenchymal cells and is characterized by early metastasis, easy drug resistance, high disability, and mortality. Immunological characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (TME) have attracted attention for the prognosis and treatment of osteosarcoma, and there is a need to explore a signature with high sensitivity for prognosis. In the present study, a total of 84 samples of osteosarcoma were acquired from the UCSC Xena database, analyzed for immune infiltration and classified into two categories depending on their immune properties, and then screened for DEGs between the two groups and analyzed for enrichment, with the majority of DEGs enriched in the immune domain.

Department of Gynecology, Shandong Provincial Hospital, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Resistance to PARP inhibitors in ovarian cancer is a significant issue, with LCP1 identified as a key player in tumor progression and linked to the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway that enhances metastatic ability and chemoresistance.* -
  • In experiments, a cell line resistant to olaparib was created, revealing that LCP1 levels were higher in these cells, and knocking down LCP1 diminished their resistance to the drug.* -
  • The study suggests that targeting LCP1 could be a new approach for treating ovarian cancer patients resistant to olaparib by disrupting the JAK2/STAT3 pathway and its contribution to epithelial-mesenchymal transition.*
