- Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by high recurrence and metastatic potential, leading to poor clinical outcomes. There is a critical need to identify reliable prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets to improve patient stratification and personalized treatment. - Source: PubMed

Fu CongSun LinZhou TongBi Yanzhi - Increasing evidence suggests that the biological activity of trophoblasts and M1-type macrophages plays a crucial role in recurrent spontaneous abortion. However, detailed mechanistic studies on the intercellular communication between these two cells at the maternal-fetal interface are not clear. - Source: PubMed
Tang CenQi Hongbo - Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) marks the advanced phase of prostate malignancy, manifested through two principal subtypes: castration-resistant adenocarcinoma (CRPC-adeno) and neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). This study aims to identify unique central regulatory genes, assess the immunological landscape, and explore potential therapeutic strategies specifically tailored to NEPC. We discovered 1444 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) distinguishing between the two cancer types and identified 12 critical hub genes. Notably, CHST1, MPPED2, and RIPPLY3 emerged as closely associated with the immune cell infiltration pattern, establishing them as top candidates. Prognostic analysis highlighted the potential critical roles of CHST1 and MPPED2 in prostate cancer development, findings corroborated through in vitro and in vivo assays. Moreover, we validated the functions and expression levels of CHST1, MPPED2, and RIPPLY3 in NEPC using cell lines, animal models and human tissues. In the final step, we found that imatinib might be the drug specific to NEPC, which was further confirmed by in vitro cell assay. Our results revealed the clinical characteristics, molecular features, immune cell infiltration pattern in CRPC-adeno and NEPC, and identified and confirmed CHST1, MPPED2, and RIPPLY3 as the critical genes in the development in prostate cancer and NEPC. We also predicted and validated imatinib as the potential specific drugs to NEPC. - Source: PubMed

Wang JianqingWang YuZhou HuihuiYu GuopengXu HuanGao DajunLi MinglunWang YuzhuoXu Bin - Invading species along with increased anthropogenization may lead to hybridization events between wild species and closely related domesticates. As a consequence, wild species may carry introgressed alleles from domestic species, which is generally assumed to yield adverse effects in wild populations. The opposite evolutionary consequence, adaptive introgression, where introgressed genes are positively selected in the wild species, is possible but has rarely been documented. Grey wolves (Canis lupus) are widely distributed across the Holarctic and frequently coexist with their close relative, the domestic dog (C. familiaris). Despite ample opportunity, hybridization rarely occurs in most populations. Here we studied the geographically isolated grey wolves of the Iberian Peninsula, who have coexisted with a large population of loosely controlled dogs for thousands of years in a human-modified landscape. We assessed the extent and impact of dog introgression on the current Iberian grey wolf population by analysing 150 whole genomes of Iberian and other Eurasian grey wolves as well as dogs originating from across Europe and western Siberia. We identified almost no recent introgression and a small (< 5%) overall ancient dog ancestry. Using a combination of single scan statistics and ancestry enrichment estimates, we identified positive selection on six genes (DAPP1, NSMCE4A, MPPED2, PCDH9, MBTPS1, and CDH13) for which wild Iberian wolves carry alleles introgressed from dogs. The genes with introgressed and positively selected alleles include functions in immune response and brain functions, which may explain some of the unique behavioural phenotypes in Iberian wolves such as their reduced dispersal compared to other wolf populations. - Source: PubMed

Sarabia CarlosSalado IsabelFernández-Gil AlbertovonHoldt Bridgett MHofreiter MichaelVilà CarlesLeonard Jennifer A - Refractive error (RE) and myopia are complex polygenic conditions with the majority of genome-wide associated genetic variants in non-exonic regions. Given this, and the onset during childhood, gene-regulation is expected to play an important role in its pathogenesis. This prompted us to explore beyond traditional gene finding approaches. We performed a genetic association study between variants in non-coding RNAs and enhancers, and RE and myopia. We obtained single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNA (miRNA) genes, miRNA-binding sites, long non-coding RNAs genes (lncRNAs) and enhancers from publicly available databases: miRNASNPv2, PolymiRTS, VISTA Enhancer Browser, FANTOM5 and lncRNASNP2. We investigated whether SNPs overlapping these elements were associated with RE and myopia leveraged from a large GWAS meta-analysis (N = 160,420). With genetic risk scores (GRSs) per element, we investigated the joint effect of associated variants on RE, axial length (AL)/corneal radius (CR), and AL progression in an independent child cohort, the Generation R Study (N = 3638 children). We constructed a score for biological plausibility per SNP in highly confident miRNA-binding sites and enhancers in chromatin accessible regions. We found that SNPs in two miRNA genes, 14 enhancers and 81 lncRNA genes in chromatin accessible regions and 54 highly confident miRNA-binding sites, were in RE and myopia-associated loci. GRSs from SNPs in enhancers were significantly associated with RE, AL/CR and AL progression. GRSs from lncRNAs were significantly associated with all AL/CR and AL progression. GRSs from miRNAs were not associated with any ocular biometric measurement. GRSs from miRNA-binding sites showed suggestive but inconsistent significance. We prioritized candidate miRNA binding sites and candidate enhancers for future functional validation. Pathways of target and host genes of highly ranked variants included eye development (BMP4, MPPED2), neurogenesis (DDIT4, NTM), extracellular matrix (ANTXR2, BMP3), photoreceptor metabolism (DNAJB12), photoreceptor morphogenesis (CHDR1), neural signaling (VIPR2) and TGF-beta signaling (ANAPC16). This is the first large-scale study of non-coding RNAs and enhancers for RE and myopia. Enhancers and lncRNAs could be of large importance as they are associated with childhood myopia. We provide a confident blueprint for future functional validation by prioritizing candidate miRNA binding sites and candidate enhancers. - Source: PubMed
