- Intramuscular fat (IMF) plays an important role in determining meat quality traits such as flavor, tenderness, and juiciness. While numerous studies have investigated the genetic basis of IMF in commercial pig breeds, data on local breeds remain rather limited. In this study, we used RNA-sequencing to characterize the transcriptomic differences between high-IMF and low-IMF Black Slavonian pigs, a native Croatian breed known for superior meat quality. Muscle samples (Longissimus thoracis et lumborum) from 14 pigs with divergent IMF levels were collected shortly after slaughter, preserved in liquid nitrogen, and stored at - 80 °C until RNA extraction. Intramuscular fat content was determined from the same muscle 24 h post mortem using the Soxhlet extraction method (ISO 1443:1973). These samples were then analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and enriched pathways. A total of 519 genes were differentially expressed (p ≤ 0.05), with 457 remaining significant after false discovery rate correction. The high-IMF group exhibited upregulation of genes associated with lipid metabolism (e.g., SCD, ADIPOQ, CIDEC, FABP4), PPAR signaling, and adipogenesis, while genes linked to muscle structure and oxidative metabolism were downregulated. Functional enrichment and gene set enrichment analyses highlighted coordinated regulation of pathways related to fatty acid biosynthesis, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling, angiogenesis, and Notch signaling. Notably, several ECM-related genes (LAMA1, TIMP4) and angiogenic factors (FGF2, NRP1) were significantly upregulated, suggesting that adipocyte expansion in muscle requires parallel vascular and structural adaptations. Importantly, several of the top 30 DEGs, including EHD2, NRG4, UTRN, FLNA, and HMCN1, represent novel candidate genes not previously linked to IMF in pigs, pointing to potential breed-specific mechanisms. These genes are associated with membrane trafficking, paracrine signalling, cytoskeletal re-modelling, and ECM dynamics. Our findings contribute new molecular insights into IMF regulation in local pig breeds and provide a foundation for developing targeted breeding strategies to improve pork quality through intramuscular fat enhancement. - Source: PubMed

Lukic BorisLipavić GoranBulaić MatejaIno CurikRadišić ŽarkoLužaić RasRaguž Nikola - Bothrops envenomation induces extensive local tissue destruction and a robust inflammatory response, largely driven by the host's endogenous molecular pathways. Among these, Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), zinc-dependent endopeptidases responsible for extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, play a central role. The clinical severity of envenomation is therefore strongly influenced by the balance between MMPs and their specific inhibitors, the TIMPs. This study investigated the contribution of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-7, MMP-9, and MMP-10 and TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3, and TIMP-4 to the inflammatory response following Bothrops snakebites. - Source: PubMed

Traditional treatments such as corticosteroids and immunosuppressants are limited by variable efficacy and severe adverse effects, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic targets and personalized strategies. We performed a systematic multi-omics Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis applying established proteomic and transcriptomic quantitative trait loci (pQTL/eQTL) resources to genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of four GN subtypes: acute, chronic, IgA nephropathy, and membranous nephropathy. Bayesian colocalization was used to strengthen causal inference, while independent replication and meta-analysis were conducted using the FinnGen cohort. Mouse knockout phenotypes, drug reposition, and computational pharmacology algorithm were applied to evaluate translational potential. Proteomic-wide MR revealed MTR as protective in chronic GN and HCK as a risk factor for membranous nephropathy, whereas CD302 and CDKN1B showed protective effects. Transcriptomic-wide MR identified candidate genes across GN subtypes: RECQL, BRSK2, and MGP in acute GN; AFM, CFHR5, and EPHB2 in chronic GN; IL6R, MBL2, and PRSS3 in IgA nephropathy; and TIMP4, HCK, and PEAR1 in membranous nephropathy. Bayesian colocalization analysis provided strong support for shared causal variants (PPH4 > 0.8) for HCK, CD302, TIMP4, PEAR1, PARP1, and FHIT. Replication and meta-analysis in the FinnGen cohort provided additional consistency across datasets, while downstream translational annotations highlighted IL6R, MBL2, C5, and CD55 as potential hub targets within immune and complement-related pathways. This integrative multi-omics study provides novel insights into the genetic architecture and therapeutic landscape of GN, identifying potential therapeutic targets that may inform precision nephrology and drug repurposing. Notably, most targets supported by colocalization, mouse knockout phenotypes, and drug repurposing evidence were predominantly identified in membranous nephropathy, suggesting a particularly tractable genetic and therapeutic architecture for this subtype. - Source: PubMed

Lee Shin-KyuOh Jung-MinLee Sae-AJoo Ji-YoungKim Hyun-Joo - Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a mitochondrial NAD-dependent deacetylase, plays a central role in regulating mitochondrial metabolism, oxidative stress, and cell survival. Although SIRT3 has been implicated in angiogenesis, apoptosis, and inflammation, its global proteomic impact on the brain remains unclear. This study aimed to systematically characterize alterations in angiogenesis-, apoptosis-, chemokine-, and cytokine-related proteins in the brains of SIRT3 knockout (SIRT3 KO aka SIRT3/) mice compared with wild-type (WT) controls. - Source: PubMed
