Current imaging and clinical markers are not fully sufficient in accurate diagnosis and patient risk stratification. Although known cardiac biomarkers in blood are used, they lack specificity for HCM and primarily stratify for death due to heart failure in overt cases. Non-coding RNAs, particularly microRNAs, have emerged as promising biomarkers due to their role in regulating gene expression in both healthy and pathological hearts. Circulating microRNA signatures may dynamically reflect the progression of HCM, offering potential utility in diagnosis and disease monitoring as well as inform biologic pathways for innovative therapeutic strategies. However, studying microRNAs in cardiovascular diseases is still in its early stages and poses many challenges. This review focuses on emerging research perspectives using advanced cardiac magnetic resonance techniques. We presume, that the search for circulating miR signatures associated with specific adverse myocardial features observed on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging - such as fibrosis, disarray, and microvascular disease - represents a promising direction in HCM research.","PeriodicalId":12163,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Biology and Medicine","volume":"249 ","pages":"10334"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11688189/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142914050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And the association between urine albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) and an increased risk of hip fracture in patients with T2DM remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the association between urinary ACR and hip fracture risk in postmenopausal women and aged men with T2DM. The study included 219 postmenopausal women and 216 older men (mean age >60 years) with T2DM. Women and men were divided into control group (ACR<30 mg/g), microalbuminuria group (30 mg/g ≤ ACR<300 mg/g), and macroalbuminuria group (ACR≥300 mg/g) respectively. Demographic characteristics and clinical history were collected in patients. Biochemical indexes and bone turnover-related markers were measured in patients. In the study, we found that several factors, including age, T2DM duration, cerebral infarction history, serum corrected calcium levels and urine ACR were positively associated with hip fracture risk. However, 25-Hydroxyvitamin D and areal BMD were negatively associated with hip fracture risk. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis showed that urinary ACR level (β = 0.003, p = 0.044) and duration of T2DM (β = 0.015, p = 0.018) were positively and independently correlated with hip fracture risk in older men. In contrast, femoral neck BMD (β = -6.765, p < 0.001) was independently and negatively correlated with hip fracture risk in older men. This study indicated that the elevated ACR levels and longer T2DM duration were related to higher hip fracture risk in older men with T2DM, which could be beneficial for developing a predictive model for osteoporotic fractures in patients with type 2 diabetes in the future. However, results were inconsistent in women, hip fracture risk didn't alter by changes in urinary microalbuminuria level in postmenopausal women with T2DM.","PeriodicalId":12163,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Biology and Medicine","volume":"249 ","pages":"10240"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11673217/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142902358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Berberine (BBR), a natural alkaloid, has demonstrated its ability to promote the delayed healing of skin wounds. However, the impact of BBR on AGEs-induced ferroptosis in skin cells and the underlying molecular mechanisms remains unexplored. This study investigated the involvement of ferroptosis in AGEs-induced keratinocyte death, and the impact of BBR on ferroptosis in a db/db mouse model with long-term hyperglycemia was elucidated. A remarkable reduction in cell viability was observed along with increased malondialdehyde (MDA) production in AGEs-induced HaCaT cells. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and iron levels were elevated in cells exposed to AGEs. Meanwhile, the protein expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and ferritin light chain (FTL) was significantly decreased in AGEs-treated cells. However, pretreatment with BBR markedly protected cell viability and inhibited MDA levels, attenuating the intracellular ROS and iron levels and increased expression of GPX4 and FTL in vitro. Significantly diminished antiferroptotic effects of BBR on AGEs-treated keratinocytes were observed upon the knockdown of the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) gene. In vivo, GPX4, FTL, and FTH expression in the epidermis of diabetic mice was significantly reduced, accompanied by enhanced lipid peroxidation. Treatment with BBR effectively rescued lipid peroxidation accumulation and upregulated GPX4, FTL, FTH, and NRF2 levels in diabetic skin. Collectively, the findings indicate that ferroptosis may play a significant role in AGEs-induced keratinocyte death. BBR protects diabetic keratinocytes against ferroptosis, partly by activating NRF2.","PeriodicalId":12163,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Biology and Medicine","volume":"249 ","pages":"10280"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11673220/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142902336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the early stages of GC, there is currently an absence of sensitive and specific biomarkers. The newly-discovered class of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) known as transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) is highly expressed in bodily fluids and neoplastic cells. High-throughput sequencing was initially employed to identify differentially expressed tsRNAs in early GC patients, followed by validation in patient serum, GC tissues, and cell lines by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). We identified dysregulated tsRNAs (the up-regulated tsRNAs included tRF-31-PNR8YP9LON4VD, tRF-30-MIF91SS2P4FI, and tRF-30-IK9NJ4S2I7L7, whereas the down-regulated tsRNAs included tRF-38-W6RM7KYUPRENRHD2, tRF-37-LBRY73W0K5KKOV2, tRF-36-JB59V3WD8YQ84VD, tRF-25-MBQ4NKKQBR, and tRF-36-0KFMNKYUHRF867D) in GC, and we verified that the serum of patients, GC cells and tissues both consistently expressed these tsRNAs. Additionally, GC patients' serum had considerably greater expression levels of the three up-regulated tsRNAs than did healthy controls. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated that the sensitivity and specificity of the three up-regulated tsRNAs were superior to those of CEA, CA199, and CA724 in the process of diagnosing GC, particularly in its early stages. This suggests that tsRNAs have great diagnostic efficacy and potential as new \"liquid biopsy\" biomarkers for the diagnosis of GC.

However, the current landscape of PGx research is hindered by fragmented data sources, time-consuming manual data extraction processes, and the need for comprehensive and up-to-date information. This study aims to address these challenges by evaluating the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically Llama3.1-70B, to automate and improve the accuracy of PGx information extraction from the FDA Table of Pharmacogenomic Biomarkers in Drug Labeling (FDA PGx Biomarker table), which is well-structured with drug names, biomarkers, therapeutic area, and related labeling texts. Our primary goal was to test the feasibility of LLMs in streamlining PGx data extraction, as an alternative to traditional, labor-intensive approaches. Llama3.1-70B achieved 91.4% accuracy in identifying drug-biomarker pairs from single labeling texts and 82% from mixed texts, with over 85% consistency in aligning extracted PGx categories from FDA PGx Biomarker table and relevant scientific abstracts, demonstrating its effectiveness for PGx data extraction. By integrating data from diverse sources, including scientific abstracts, this approach can support pharmacologists, regulatory bodies, and healthcare researchers in updating PGx resources more efficiently, making critical information more accessible for applications in personalized medicine. In addition, this approach shows potential of discovering novel PGx information, particularly of underrepresented minority ethnic groups. This study highlights the ability of LLMs to enhance the efficiency and completeness of PGx research, thus laying a foundation for advancements in personalized medicine by ensuring that drug therapies are tailored to the genetic profiles of diverse populations.","PeriodicalId":12163,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Biology and Medicine","volume":"249 ","pages":"10393"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11650518/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142846286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, 644 Lebanese individuals, including 127 AD patients and 250 controls, were genotyped, by KASP assay, for six SNPs selected from the largest GWAS study in 2021. Logistic regression analysis assessed the association between SNP genotypes and AD risk, adjusting for potential confounders. Among the six SNPs analyzed, rs1846190G>A in HLA-DRB1 and rs1354106T>G in CD33 showed significant associations with AD risk in the Lebanese population (p < 0.05). Carriers of the AG and AA genotypes of rs1846190 in HLA-DRB1 exhibited a protective effect against AD (AG: OR = 0.042, p = 0.026; AA: OR = 0.052, p = 0.031). The GT genotype of rs1354106T>G in CD33 was also associated with reduced risk (OR = 0.173, p = 0.005).

We examined the YAP expression in a mouse tail lymphedema model, and found that transplanted ADSCs exhibited high expression level of YAP and a large number of YAP positive cells existed in lymphedema environment. In vitro, the downregulation of YAP in ADSCs resulted in higher expression levels of genes related to lymphangiogenesis such as Lyve-1, VEGFR-3 and Prox-1.

Additionally, compared to SS mice exposed to RSD with treatment, SS mice exposed to RSD without treatment had significantly more cellular evidence of neuroinflammation coupled with a significant shift in the differentiation of neural progenitor cells towards astrogliogenesis. Additionally, brain tissue from SS mice exposed to RSD was significantly enriched for genes associated with blood-brain barrier dysfunction, neuron excitotoxicity, inflammation, and significant dysregulation in sphingolipids important to neuronal cell processes.
