- The incidence of obesity and male infertility continues to rise, and a complex pathophysiological association exists between the two. However, the comorbid molecular mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. In this study, bioinformatics and machine learning methods were integrated to systematically explore the shared mechanisms of obesity and male infertility, and to predict natural compounds and TCMs with therapeutic potential based on multi-omics data. Datasets of male infertility and obesity were obtained from the GEO database, and 43 intersecting genes were identified through differential expression analysis. Using three machine learning algorithms, including random forest, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO) regression, and support vector machine(SVM), five Hub genes(MAP4K4, GPT2, ADSSL1, PAIP2, and GINS3) were screened. The combined diagnostic model achieved an area under the curve(AUC) greater than 0.8, indicating good diagnostic performance. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that these genes are mainly involved in key biological processes such as amino acid metabolism, cell migration, and DNA replication. Immune infiltration analysis showed a significant upregulation of central memory CD4~+ T cells in both diseases, suggesting that chronic immune activation is an important basis for their comorbidity. Single-cell sequencing and pseudotime analyses demonstrated disordered cell differentiation trajectories in the adipose tissue of obese patients and the testicular tissue of infertile patients. Based on the connectivity map(CMap) database, ten natural compounds, including berberine, curcumin, and ginsenosides, were predicted and further validated by molecular docking to have strong binding affinities with the Hub genes. Integration with the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology(TCMSP) platform enabled the construction of a "target-natural compound-herbal medicine" interaction network, identifying 38 corresponding herbal medicines. Property and meridian analysis indicated a predominance of warm nature, sweet flavor, and liver meridian tropism, consistent with the TCM therapeutic principles of "resolving phlegm and dampness, strengthening the spleen, and tonifying the kidney". This study reveals, at the molecular level, the comorbid mechanisms of obesity and male infertility in immune-inflammatory regulation and cell differentiation dysfunction, providing a theoretical basis and potential drug targets for precise TCM intervention in obesity-related male infertility. - Source: PubMed
Gong Zhuo-ZhiFeng Qiu-JianGao Qing-HeWang FuGuo JunLiu Sheng-Jing - Rapid osseointegration of titanium implants remains challenging under pathological conditions. This study develops an engineered exosome-based mRNA delivery system for osteogenic regulation. Through co-transfection with BMP2 and Paip2 plasmids, Exosomes (Exo) loaded with untranslated Bmp2 mRNA are generated, exhibiting an eight-fold increase over naive exosomes and a three-fold enhancement compared to BMP2-only exosomes. These vesicles are functionalized with a cholesterol-anchored E7 peptide for BMSC targeting and immobilized on a titanium implant via a mussel adhesive protein coating (Exo-E7@TiM). The system enables targeted, sustained delivery of Bmp2 mRNA to BMSCs. Once internalized, the mRNA utilizes an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) to initiate translation, effectively bypassing the original suppression and driving robust BMP2 protein expression. Exo-E7@TiM significantly enhanced osteogenic differentiation of human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) in vitro, upregulating key markers and accelerating mineralization. In rat tibiae, it substantially improved new bone formation and bone-implant contact vs controls. This integrated strategy combines exosome-mediated nucleic acid delivery, biological targeting, and bioadhesive immobilization to significantly enhance osseointegration, showing considerable promise for clinical applications in compromised bone healing. - Source: PubMed

Yang ZhujunDong YanDong ZhiweiZhao PengyuLi YichenKong LiangZhao YiminWang Zhongshan - Low fertility in cows leads to early removal from herds. Since reproductive traits are complex and have low heritability, genetic analysis can aid in improving reproduction. This study identified key genes linked to fertility by conducting genome- and transcriptome-wide association studies, RNA-seq analysis, meta-analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis, and functional enrichment analysis. Through these methods, we identified candidate genes related to Cow conception rate (CCR), Daughter pregnancy rate (DPR), Heifer conception rate (HCR), and overall fertility traits, helping to improve genetic selection for reproductive success in cows. The identified genes include RPL12, FKBP1B, FZD10, COX10, COX7A2, GAA, ETFBKMT, ACSM5, NUDT9, TIGAR, PAIP2, and PSMB5. Notably, GAA, ETFBKMT, COX10, and COX7A2 are involved in the "generation of precursor metabolites and energy" process. COX10, GAA, ETFBKMT, ACSM5, NUDT9, and TIGAR exhibit significant impacts on CCR, DPR, and HCR. COX7A2, PAIP2, and PSMB5 have been identified as hub genes related to fertility traits. RPL12 plays a role in protein synthesis, essential for gametogenesis and embryo development, while FKBP1B regulates calcium signaling, particularly in oocyte aging and fertility decline, and FZD10 is crucial in Wnt signaling. The identified genes serve as markers for genomic selection aimed at enhancing reproductive traits in cow. - Source: PubMed

Hosseinzadeh SevdaRafat Seyed AbbasFang Lingzhao - ENY2 is an evolutionarily conserved multifunctional protein and is a member of several complexes that regulate various stages of gene expression. ENY2 is a subunit of the TREX-2 complex, which is necessary for the export of bulk mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm through the nuclear pores in many eukaryotes. The wide range of ENY2 functions suggests that it can also associate with other protein factors or complexes. In a search for proteins that interact with ENY2 of Drosophila melanogaster, a cDNA library was screened in a yeast two-hybrid system. ENY2 was thus found to interact with the RNA-binding protein Paip2. Paip2 directly bound ENY2 in vitro and interacted with ENY2 in vivo at the molecular and genetic levels. Paip2 was capable of association with the ENY2-containing TREX-2 complex. Paip2 was present at the locus of the histone gene cluster. Both Paip2 and ENY2 were detected at histone locus body (HLBs), nuclear structure where coordinated histone mRNA transcription and processing take place. Paip2 and subunits of the TREX-2 complex were shown to associate with histone mRNP particles. A Paip2 knockdown via RNA interference resulted in decreased binding of TREX-2 subunits to histone mRNPs. Thus, Paip2 was identified as a new partner protein of ENY2 within the TREX-2 complex and suggested to participate in TREX-2 binding to histone mRNPs. - Source: PubMed
Kurshakova M MKrasnov A NNabirochkina E NGeorgieva S G - Besides ubiquitous poly(A)-binding protein, cytoplasmic 1 (PABPC1), testis-specific PABPC2/PABPt (in humans, referred to as PABPC3), and female and male germline-specific PABPC1L/ePAB, have been reported in the mouse testis. Recent in silico analysis additionally identified testis-specific Pabpc6 in the mouse. In this study, we characterized PABPC6 and its mutant mice. PABPC6 was initially detectable in the cytoplasm of pachytene spermatocytes, increased in abundance in round spermatids, and decreased in elongating spermatids. PABPC6 was capable of binding to poly(A) tails of various mRNAs and interacting with translation-associated factors, including EIF4G, PAIP1, and PAIP2. Noteworthy was that PABPC6, unlike PABPC1, was barely associated with translationally active polysomes and enriched in chromatoid bodies of round spermatids. Despite these unique characteristics, neither synthesis of testicular proteins nor spermatogenesis was affected in the mutant mice lacking PABPC6, suggesting that PABPC6 is functionally redundant with other co-existing PABPC proteins during spermatogenesis. - Source: PubMed
