- Student engagement in physical education (PE) is an important indicator of meaningful participation and learning in higher education. In the Philippines, where PE forms part of holistic student development, there is a need to understand how motivational constructs operate within specific activity contexts. This study examined the association between individual interest and study engagement among Filipino college students enrolled in an integrated PE context involving individual and dual sports. - Source: PubMed

Lobo Joseph - Culturally grounded physical education provides meaningful opportunities to connect movement, heritage, and student engagement. This study examined the association between individual interest and study engagement in Filipino recreational games-based physical education among university students in the Philippines. Filipino recreational games, locally known as , are traditional movement-based activities commonly integrated into PE to promote cultural appreciation and active participation. Guided by the tripartite model, individual interest was conceptualized through three factors: positive affect and willingness to reengage (PAWR), stored-utility value (SUV), and stored attainment value and knowledge-seeking intentions (SAVKSI). - Source: PubMed

Lobo Joseph - PRKC Apoptosis WT1 Regulator (PAWR) has been implicated in tumorigenesis. However, its role in antiviral innate immunity remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that PAWR transcriptionally upregulates RIG-I expression through the transcription factor X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1). Mechanistically, PAWR potentiates the ATF6/IRE1-XBP1 pathway to upregulate spliced form XBP1 (XBP1s) and simultaneously promotes PIM2-mediated phosphorylation of XBP1s at Ser68. Activated XBP1s binds the RIG-I promoter, driving RIG-I expression and amplifying IFN-I responses during RNA virus infection. Most intriguingly, PAWR-silenced THP-1 cells and primary macrophages exhibit attenuated anti-RNA viral IFN-I responses. Pawr-deficient mice are more susceptible to RNA virus challenge. Notably, Arylquin 1, the small molecule activator of PAWR, inhibits VSV replication by boosting the RIG-I-mediated IFN-I response in a PAWR-dependent manner. Collectively, our findings highlight a critical function of PAWR in antiviral innate immunity via the PIM2-XBP1s-RIG-I signaling axis, establishing its potential as a promising therapeutic target for RNA viral infections. - Source: PubMed

Hou PeiliSun XiaonanZhu HongchaoFeng YueyueLi RuiWang XiaoyunZhang FuzhenWang JunHan YuanyuanHe Daniel ChangWang HongmeiHe Hongbin - Body mass index (BMI) is an important composite trait reflecting fat and muscle deposition, which is closely related to feed efficiency, carcass composition, and overall production performance in pigs. Optimizing BMI is crucial for achieving balanced growth and desirable meat quality in modern pig breeding programs. While numerous genetic loci associated with BMI have been reported in humans, studies in livestock remain scarce, and the genetic and regulatory mechanisms driving BMI variation are still largely unknown. To address this, we conducted genome-wide association study on 4,519 pigs representing three commercial breeds (Yorkshire, Landrace, and Duroc), performing analyses both at the single-breed level and in the combined population. By integrating Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq), Chromatin Immunoprecipitation followed by Sequencing (ChIP-seq), and in situ Hi-C followed by chromatin immunoprecipitation (HiChIP) datasets for functional genomics analyses, we identified five quantitative trait loci with potential regulatory function, two of which are homologous to enhancer regions in the human genome. We further prioritized a set of high-confidence candidate genes, including OSBPL10, PCCA, MYPN, PAWR, and PCDH7, which are closely associated with lipid metabolism and muscle development. These findings reflect breed differences in body composition, provide targets for improving meat production efficiency through breeding, and offer insights into the genetic and regulatory mechanisms underlying human metabolic disorders. - Source: PubMed
Huang YaniZhou WeiweiLi JingquanWu FushengXiao ShijunZhang Zhiyan - BACKGROUND: Proteins represent the dynamic downstream products of genes, and have the potential to substantially increase understanding of the complexities of cancer biology. Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a rare disease, the proteomic landscape of which has not been fully investigated. METHODS: We performed isobaric TMT-based proteomic analysis for 80 UPS tumor and 28 corresponding adjacent non-tumor muscle tissues. The underlying molecular subtypes, therapeutic targets, local recurrence, and lung metastasis were uncovered. The integration of previous single-cell RNA sequencing data with proteomics was further employed to characterize the specific cell type linked to lung metastasis. RESULTS: Our analyses revealed a catalog of proteins that were dysregulated in UPS. The UPS cohort was stratified into three molecular subtypes S-I, S-II, and S-III. S-I was characterized by the high expression of spliceosome-related proteins and protumor cytokines, and was associated with the lowest overall rate of survival. S-II was characterized with the highest ImmuneScore. S-III with the highest StromaScore had the best outcomes. Protein-based disease classification was better than the recommended AJCC staging system for UPS. PRMT6 protein was overexpressed, and associated with adverse outcomes. PRMT6 inhibitor significantly inhibited tumor growth in two patient-derived xenograft models. Analysis of local recurrence-associated proteins showed that PAWR was negatively associated with UPS recurrence. Additionally, CD163 was a negative predictive marker for lung metastasis. Combined with scRNA-seq data, CD163 + macrophages represented phagocytosis phenotype with high expression of the signature markers (CD163, MRC1, MERTK, and C1QB). Furthermore, CD163 + macrophages were enriched in the endocytosis, phagocytosis, and lysosome compared with CD163- macrophages. CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlights the utility of proteomics for characterizing UPS, providing a framework for understanding the biological basis of its clinical features and paving the way for a new era of proteomics-driven precision medicine in sarcoma research. - Source: PubMed
