UnknownMethylmalonic and propionic acidemia among hospitalized pediatric patients: a nationwide report.

Background

Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) and propionic acidemia (PA) are two kinds of diseases caused by inborn errors of metabolism. So far, the epidemiological data on them are limited in China. The aim of our study is to investigate the proportion and characteristics of hospitalized pediat...

UnknownLoss of a Negative Feedback Loop between IRF8 and AR Promotes Prostate Cancer Growth and Enzalutamide Resistance.
In incurable castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), resistance to the novel androgen receptor (AR) antagonist enzalutamide is driven mainly by AR overexpression. Here we report that the expression of interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) is increased in primary prostate cancer but decreased in...

UnknownA novel MTORC2-AKT-ROS axis triggers mitofission and mitophagy-associated execution of colorectal cancer cells upon drug-induced activation of mutant KRAS.
RAS is one of the most commonly mutated oncogenes associated with multiple cancer hallmarks. Notably, RAS activation induces intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which we previously demonstrated as a trigger for autophagy-associated execution of mutant KRAS-expressing cancer cells...

UnknownDual blockade of DPP-4 and CXCL12/CXCR4 axes synergistically protects podocytes in lupus nephritis.

Background

Lupus nephritis (LN), a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is characterized by podocyte injury that contributes to disease progression. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, though developed for diabetes, have shown renoprotective potential. However, D...

UnknownWastewater-powered high-value chemical synthesis in a hybrid bioelectrochemical system.
A microbial electrochemical system could potentially be applied as a biosynthesis platform by extracting wastewater energy while converting it to value-added chemicals. However, the unfavorable thermodynamics and sluggish kinetics of in vivo whole-cell cathodic catalysis largely limit product...

UnknownDepression promotes prostate cancer invasion and metastasis via a sympathetic-cAMP-FAK signaling pathway.
Depression drives cancer progression and induces poor clinical outcome. However, the mechanisms underlying depression and cancer outcomes are unclear. In this work, we investigated 98 prostate cancer patients and found that patients with high score of psychological depression were correlated with tu...

UnknownThe prognostic role of ACSL4 in postoperative adjuvant TACE-treated HCC: implications for therapeutic response and mechanistic insights.

Background

The response of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) treatment and its underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This study investigates the role of enzymes involved in fatty acid activation, specifically Acyl-CoA synthetase long chain 4 (ACSL4), in...

UnknownWhole-genome reconstruction and mutational signatures in gastric cancer.

Background

Gastric cancer is the second highest cause of global cancer mortality. To explore the complete repertoire of somatic alterations in gastric cancer, we combined massively parallel short read and DNA paired-end tag sequencing to present the first whole-genome analysis of two gastric...

UnknownPrediction of Susceptibility to First-Line Tuberculosis Drugs by DNA Sequencing.

Background

The World Health Organization recommends drug-susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex for all patients with tuberculosis to guide treatment decisions and improve outcomes. Whether DNA sequencing can be used to accurately predict profiles of susceptibility to f...

UnknownGenome-wide association study meta-analysis reveals transethnic replication of mean arterial and pulse pressure loci.
We conducted a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure among 26,600 East Asian participants (stage 1) followed by replication study of up to 28,783 participants (stage 2). For novel loci, statistical significance was determined by a P<5.0×10(-8) in jo...
