A Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Early Life Stress on the Prefrontal Cortex Transcriptome Reveals Long-Term Downregulation of Myelin-Related Gene Expression.

BACKGROUND: Early life stress (ELS) refers to exposure to negative childhood experiences, such as neglect, disaster, and physical, mental, or emotional abuse. ELS can permanently alter the brain, leading to cognitive impairment, increased sensitivity to future stressors, and mental health risks. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a key brain region implicated in the effects of ELS. METHODS: To better understand the effects of ELS on the PFC, we ran a meta-analysis of publicly available transcriptional profiling datasets. We identified five datasets (GSE89692, GSE116416, GSE14720, GSE153043, and G

Palmitoyl-protein thioesterase-1 deficiency leads to the activation of caspase-9 and contributes to rapid neurodegeneration in INCL.

The infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL), a rare (one in 100 000 births) but one of the most lethal inherited neurodegenerative storage disorders of childhood, is caused by inactivating mutations in the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase-1 (PPT1) gene. PPT1 cleaves thioester linkages in s-acylated (palmitoylated) proteins and facilitates their degradation and/or recycling. Thus, PPT1-deficiency leads to an abnormal intracellular accumulation of s-acylated proteins causing INCL pathogenesis. Although neuronal apoptosis is the suggested cause of neurodegeneration in this disease, the mole

Gene Expression of Col11A1 Is a Marker Not only for Pancreas Carcinoma But also for Adenocarcinoma of the Papilla of Vater, Discriminating Between Carcinoma and Chronic Pancreatitis.

AIM: For tumors of the periampullary region clinical differentiation between primary and tumor-associated pancreatitis might be difficult. Early diagnosis of these malignancies is essential, as they present with early invasion of surrounding tissue thus limiting therapeutic options. Using molecular markers, the preoperative diagnosis (EUS-guided needle biopsy, brush biopsy pancreatic duct) could be optimized and surgical therapy potentially adapted. Alpha1 (XI) collagen Col11A1 is essential for the extracellular matrix and normal skeletal development and has been associated with carcinogenesis

Single-cell analysis reveals the pan-cancer invasiveness-associated transition of adipose-derived stromal cells into COL11A1-expressing cancer-associated fibroblasts.

During the last ten years, many research results have been referring to a particular type of cancer-associated fibroblasts associated with poor prognosis, invasiveness, metastasis and resistance to therapy in multiple cancer types, characterized by a gene expression signature with prominent presence of genes COL11A1, THBS2 and INHBA. Identifying the underlying biological mechanisms responsible for their creation may facilitate the discovery of targets for potential pan-cancer therapeutics. Using a novel computational approach for single-cell gene expression data analysis identifying the domina

Jaw morphology and function in Drilonereis cf. filum (Oenonidae, Annelida).

Representatives of the extant family Oenonidae (Annelida, Eunicida) have a prionognath jaw apparatus, with maxillae having forceps-like elements, a number of asymmetrical dentate plates and long slender carriers, which is characteristic of some fossil forms known from the Paleozoic epoch. Therefore, data on the fine structure and functional morphology of Oenonidae jaws are helpful for the interpretation of fossil materials. The fine structure of the jaw apparatus and the ventral pharyngeal organ is studied in one species of the Oenonidae (Annelida)-Drilonereis cf. filum. The material was colle

Matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors in multiple myeloma: promote or inhibit?

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play a vital role in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM), especially for tumor invasion and osteolytic osteopathy. By breaking down extracellular matrix (ECM) components and releasing the proteins composing the ECM and growth factors, as well as their receptors, MMPs affect tissue integrity and promote cancer cell invasion and metastasis. A vital pathophysiological characteristic of MM is the progress of osteolytic lesions, which are brought on by interactions between myeloma cells and the bone marrow mic

Animal Models in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Is There a Correlation Between Autoantibodies in Human Pathology and Animal Models?

RA is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint damage, driven by autoantibodies such as ACPA, anti-CarP and RF. These autoantibodies, influenced by genetic and environmental factors, play a crucial role in RA pathogenesis through post-translational modifications like citrullination, carbamylation, and acetylation. The early detection of ACPA provides a potential window for intervention, while anti-CarP antibodies correlate with severe disease progression and RF aids in diagnosis. Translating these findings from human pathology to animal models presents sign

Advances in Extracellular Matrix-Associated Diagnostics and Therapeutics.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the common denominator of more than 50 chronic diseases. Some of these chronic pathologies lead to enhanced tissue formation and deposition, whereas others are associated with increased tissue degradation, and some exhibit a combination of both, leading to severe tissue alterations. To develop effective therapies for diseases affecting the lung, liver, kidney, skin, intestine, musculoskeletal system, heart, and solid tumors, we need to modulate the ECM's composition to restore its organization and function. Across diverse organ diseases, there are common denom

Etodolac improves collagen induced rheumatoid arthritis in rats by inhibiting synovial inflammation, fibrosis and hyperplasia.

Synovial hyperplasia is the main cause of chronic rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the mechanism of synovial hyperplasia is still unclear. Etodolac (ETD) is a selective COX-2 inhibitor for relieving pain and stiffness in RA, but the disease modifying effect is still lack of evidence. Proteomics method was used to study the differential proteome of synovial tissue in collagen induced arthritis (CIA) in rats. With the help of STRING analysis, the upregulated proteins enriched in the cluster of complement and coagulation cascades and platelet degranulation were highlighted, these proteins with fibr

Extracellular matrix dysregulation in aging, calcification, and cancer diseases: insights into cellular senescence, inflammation, and novel therapeutic strategies.

This review underscores the dynamic role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in regulating cellular behavior and maintaining tissue homeostasis, highlighting its pivotal involvement in aging, calcification, and cancer diseases. In healthy tissues, controlled ECM remodeling provides essential biochemical and mechanical cues, but dysregulation (driven by chronic inflammation, cellular senescence, and altered intercellular communication) leads to fibrosis, calcification, and the creation of a pro-tumorigenic microenvironment. Senescent cells contribute to these changes through senescence-associated

Blood Coagulation and Beyond: Position Paper from the Fourth Maastricht Consensus Conference on Thrombosis.

The Fourth Maastricht Consensus Conference on Thrombosis included the following themes. Theme 1: The "coagulome" as a critical driver of cardiovascular disease. Blood coagulation proteins also play divergent roles in biology and pathophysiology, related to specific organs, including brain, heart, bone marrow, and kidney. Four investigators shared their views on these organ-specific topics. Theme 2: Novel mechanisms of thrombosis. Mechanisms linking factor XII to fibrin, including their structural and physical properties, contribute to thrombosis, which is also affected by variation in microbio

Targeting Oxidative Stress as a Therapeutic Approach for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic interstitial lung disease characterized by an abnormal reepithelialisation, an excessive tissue remodelling and a progressive fibrosis within the alveolar wall that are not due to infection or cancer. Oxidative stress has been proposed as a key molecular process in pulmonary fibrosis development and different components of the redox system are altered in the cellular actors participating in lung fibrosis. To this respect, several activators of the antioxidant machinery and inhibitors of the oxidant species and pathways have been assayed in precl

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial comparing LY01011, a biosimilar, with denosumab (Xgeva®) in patients with bone metastasis from solid tumors.

IntroductionDenosumab (Xgeva®) is a standard treatment for the prevention of skeletal-related events (SREs) in patients with bone metastases (BM). This trial was designed to assess the equivalence of LY01011 to denosumab in terms of efficacy and safety.Materials and methodsEligible patients with BM from solid tumors were randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive 120 mg of LY01011 or 120 mg of denosumab subcutaneously every four weeks during a 12-week double-blind treatment period, and then all enrolled patients continued to receive LY01011 until week 53. The primary endpoint was the natural logarit

A combined biomarker and clinical panel for chronic graft versus host disease diagnosis.

Whilst many chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) biomarkers have been previously reported, few have been verified in an independent cGVHD cohort. We aimed to verify the diagnostic accuracy of previously reported markers of cGVHD in a multi-centre Chronic GVHD Consortium. A total of 42 RNA and 18 protein candidate biomarkers were assessed amongst 59 cGVHD cases and 33 matched non-GVHD controls. Total RNA was isolated from PBMC, and RNA markers were quantified using PCR. Serum protein markers were quantified using ELISA. A combined 3 RNA biomarker (IRS2, PLEKHF1 and IL1R2) and 2 clinical va

Hemostasis at the edge between physiology and cancer.

Hemostasis lies at the edge between physiology and cancer, where the coagulation cascade-initiated by tissue factor, thrombin generation, and fibrin deposition-shifts from vascular repair to tumor promotion. The interplay between coagulation and cancer is now recognized as a two-way street, with tumor cells activating the clotting system and coagulation components feeding back to promote malignancy. Tumor cells not only foster proliferation and invasion by overexpressing tissue factor and activating Protease-Activated Receptors (PAR1/PAR2) signalling, but they also induce endothelial cells and
