Экссосомные микроРНК в качестве ранних биомаркеров переходного периода от периодических до вторичных прогрессивных множественных склерозов.

Множественный склероз (MS) — хроническая, иммунная болезнь, затрагивающая молодых людей, приводящая к неврологическим расстройствам. Независимо от исследований и разработок, связанных с разработкой эффективной терапии для борьбы с заболеваниями (ДМТ), повторное излучающее множественный склероз (РРМС) перейдет к прогрессивному множеству склероза фенотипа. Момент перехода от RRMS к вторичному прогрессивному множественному склерозу (SPMS) трудно предсказать, и диагностика основана на накоплении инвалидности в эволюции болезни. Исследования по вопросу о роли микроРНК (миРНК) в MS начались в начале

Proteome analysis of urinary biomarkers in a cigarette smoke-induced COPD rat model.

BackgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory airway disease caused by inhalation of cigarette smoke (CS) and other harmful gases and particles.MethodsThis study aimed to explore potential urinary biomarkers for CS-induced COPD based on LC-MS/MS analysis.ResultsA total of 340 urinary proteins were identified, of which 79 were significantly changed (30, 31, and 37 at week 2, 4 and 8, respectively). GO annotation of the differential urinary proteins revealed that acute-phase response, response to organic cyclic compounds, complement activation classical pathway

Metastatic leiomyosarcoma in the oral cavity: case report with protein expression profiles.

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a relatively uncommon malignant tumour derived from smooth muscle cells that rapidly metastasizes to distant regions. It rarely reaches oral tissues in which smooth muscle tissues are absent. We report the case of a 56-year-old woman who presented with LMS in the maxilla that had metastasized from a primary tumour in her uterus, received a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy 9 months earlier. To reveal the poor prognosis of metastatic LMS, a total of 26 antibodies against different factors related to the proliferation, apoptosis, necrosis, and angiog

Epilysin, a novel human matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-28) expressed in testis and keratinocytes and in response to injury.

We have cloned a new human matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-28, epilysin) from human keratinocyte and testis cDNA libraries. Like most MMPs, epilysin contains a signal sequence, a prodomain with a PRCGVTD sequence, a zinc-binding catalytic domain with an HEIGHTLGLTH sequence, and a hemopexin-like domain. In addition, epilysin has a furin activation sequence (RRKKR) but has no transmembrane sequence. The exon-intron organization and splicing pattern of epilysin differ from that of other MMP genes. It has only 8 exons, and 5 exons are spliced at sites not used by other MMPs. Another novel feature o

Interpretation of an Extended Autoantibody Profile in a Well-Characterized Australian Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma) Cohort Using Principal Components Analysis.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationships between systemic sclerosis (SSc)-related autoantibodies, as well as their clinical associations, in a well-characterized Australian patient cohort. METHODS: Serum from 505 Australian SSc patients were analyzed with a commercial line immunoassay (EuroLine; Euroimmun) for autoantibodies to centromere proteins CENP-A and CENP-B, RNA polymerase III (RNAP III; epitopes 11 and 155), the 90-kd nucleolar protein NOR-90, fibrillarin, Th/To, PM/Scl-75, PM/Scl-100, Ku, topoisomerase I (topo I), tripartite motif-containing protein 21/Ro 52, and platelet-derived g

Estrogen receptor-alpha knockout mice exhibit resistance to the developmental effects of neonatal diethylstilbestrol exposure on the female reproductive tract.

Data indicate that estrogen-dependent and -independent pathways are involved in the teratogenic/carcinogenic syndrome that follows developmental exposure to 17beta-estradiol or diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic estrogen. However, the exact role and extent to which each pathway contributes to the resulting pathology remain unknown. We employed the alphaERKO mouse, which lacks estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha), to discern the role of ERalpha and estrogen signaling in mediating the effects of neonatal DES exposure. The alphaERKO provides the potential to expose DES actions mediated by the sec

The effect of growth hormone on ovarian function recovery in a mouse model of ovarian insufficiency.

ObjectivesTo evaluate the effects and mechanisms of action of growth hormone (GH) in the recovery of ovarian function in ovarian insufficiency induced by cyclophosphamide (CP) in a mouse model.Materials and methodsAfter inducing ovarian insufficiency by administering 400 mg/kg of CP intraperitoneally to 6-week-old ICR mice, the mice were divided into four groups (control, CP, 1 mg/kg GH, and 2 mg/kg GH) with 10 mice in each group. GH was administered a week later for 7 days. Five mice from each group were sacrificed the next day, and their ovaries were collected for histological examination. T

High-grade Müllerian Adenosarcoma: Genomic and Clinicopathologic Characterization of a Distinct Neoplasm With Prevalent TP53 Pathway Alterations and Aggressive Behavior.

Müllerian adenosarcoma harbors low malignant potential, except in cases with myometrial invasion or sarcomatous overgrowth. The presence of a high-grade stromal component has been proposed as an important pathologic predictor of outcome. We hypothesized that high-grade adenosarcoma has distinct clinical and molecular features, distinct from low-grade adenosarcoma. We analyzed the clinicopathologic features and follow-up of 9 high-grade adenosarcomas and a control group of 9 low-grade adenosarcomas. Comprehensive genomic analysis of the high-grade group was performed targeting exons of 409 onco

Cleavage of roquin and regnase-1 by the paracaspase MALT1 releases their cooperatively repressed targets to promote T(H)17 differentiation.

Humoral autoimmunity paralleled by the accumulation of follicular helper T cells (T(FH) cells) is linked to mutation of the gene encoding the RNA-binding protein roquin-1. Here we found that T cells lacking roquin caused pathology in the lung and accumulated as cells of the T(H)17 subset of helper T cells in the lungs. Roquin inhibited T(H)17 cell differentiation and acted together with the endoribonuclease regnase-1 to repress target mRNA encoding the T(H)17 cell-promoting factors IL-6, ICOS, c-Rel, IRF4, IκBNS and IκBζ. This cooperation required binding of RNA by roquin and the nuclease acti

Advancements in Biomarkers and Molecular Targets in Hematological Neoplasias.

Correlation of long non-coding RNA expression with metastasis, drug resistance and clinical outcome in cancer.

The therapeutic response and clinical outcome of patients diagnosed with the same cancer type and that receive identical treatment is highly variable to reflect the genetic heterogeneity within tumor cells. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are recently discovered molecules that regulate eukaryotic gene expression and represent a significant advance towards a better understanding of the mechanisms that govern cellular growth. NcRNAs are essential for the proper regulation of cell proliferation and survival under physiologic conditions and are deregulated in many pathologies, e.g., human cancers. NcRNAs

The novel role of circular RNA ST3GAL6 on blocking gastric cancer malignant behaviours through autophagy regulated by the FOXP2/MET/mTOR axis.

Gastric cancer (GC) ranks third in mortality among all cancers worldwide. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an important role in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer. Forkhead box P2 (FOXP2), as a transcription factor, is closely associated with the development of many types of tumours. However, the regulatory network between FOXP2 and circRNAs remains to be explored. In our study, circST3GAL6 was significantly downregulated in GC and was associated with poor prognosis in GC patients. Overexpression of circST3GAL6 inhibited the malignant behaviours of GC cells, which was mediated by in

Revealing G4 Structures as Drug Targets: Exploring the Potential of Novel Therapeutic Agents.

G-quadruplex (G4) structures represent noncanonical secondary formations found in DNA and RNA. Recent research reveals that G4s are abnormally enriched in various cancers, with closely linked to malignancy, metastatic potential, and prognosis. These structures have emerged as promising biomarkers for cancer with notable clinical relevance. Concurrently, investigations into compounds that selectively recognize DNA or RNA G4s as potential anticancer agents offer new avenues for early cancer diagnosis and therapeutic strategies. This review systematically analyzes the chemical structural characte

Functions and Therapeutic Potentials of Long Noncoding RNA in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy and Dystrophy.

Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in the human body and is responsible for movement, metabolism, energy production and longevity. Muscle atrophy is a frequent complication of several diseases and occurs when protein degradation exceeds protein synthesis. Genetics, ageing, nerve injury, weightlessness, cancer, chronic diseases, the accumulation of metabolic byproducts and other stimuli can lead to muscle atrophy. Muscular dystrophy is a neuromuscular disorder, part of which is caused by the deficiency of dystrophin protein and is mostly related to genetics. Muscle atrophy and muscular

MicroRNAs in Pancreatic Cancer: biomarkers, prognostic, and therapeutic modulators.

A severe lack of early diagnosis coupled with resistance to most available therapeutic options renders pancreatic cancer as a major clinical concern. The limited efficacy of current treatments necessitates the development of novel therapeutic strategies that are based on an understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in pancreatic cancer progression. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding small RNAs that regulate the expression of multiple proteins in the post-translation process and thus have promise as biomarkers, prognostic agents, and as advanced pancreatic therapies. Profiling of deregu

Advances in antisense oligonucleotide treatment for cancer.

RNA therapeutics, including antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), have emerged as a promising class of drugs, with several already approved for clinical use. To date, most approved ASO-based RNA therapies target non-malignant disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases, and only a single therapy in this class has been approved for cancer. Notably, nearly half of existing RNA therapeutics act by modulating RNA splicing. Given the growing evidence implicating aberrant RNA splicing in cancer pathogenesis, the development of ASO-based therapeutics for oncologic indications is expected to accelerate.

RNA therapeutics in targeting G protein-coupled receptors: Recent advances and challenges.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the major targets of existing drugs for a plethora of human diseases and dominate the pharmaceutical market. However, over 50% of the GPCRs remain undruggable. To pursue a breakthrough and overcome this situation, there is significant clinical research for developing RNA-based drugs specifically targeting GPCRs, but none has been approved so far. RNA therapeutics represent a unique and promising approach to selectively targeting previously undruggable targets, including undruggable GPCRs. However, the development of RNA therapeutics faces significant cha
