In the past decade, the availability of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has facilitated a shift in focus, toward identifying common risk variants conferring increased risk of developing PD across the population. A recent mitophagy screening assay of GWAS candidates has functionally implicated the non-specific lethal (NSL) complex in the regulation of PINK1-mitophagy. Here, a bioinformatics approach has been taken to investigate the proteome of the NSL complex, to unpick its relevance to PD pathogenesis. The NSL interactome has been built, using 3 online tools: PINOT, HIPPIE and MIST, to mine curated, literature-derived protein–protein interaction (PPI) data. We built (i) the ‘mitochondrial’ NSL interactome exploring its relevance to PD genetics and (ii) the PD-oriented NSL interactome to uncover biological pathways underpinning the NSL/PD association. In this study, we find the mitochondrial NSL interactome to be significantly enriched for the protein products of PD-associated genes, including the Mendelian PD genes <em>LRRK2</em> and <em>VPS35</em>. In addition, we find nuclear processes to be amongst those most significantly enriched within the PD-associated NSL interactome. These findings strengthen the role of the NSL complex in sporadic and familial PD, mediated by both its mitochondrial and nuclear functions.</p>","PeriodicalId":19065,"journal":{"name":"Molecular omics","volume":" 8","pages":" 668-679"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2023/mo/d2mo00325b?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49995153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we investigated whether the persistent secretion of inflammatory factors in HIV-positive patients on antiretroviral therapy could enhance cancer signaling in HPV-infected cervical cells <em>via</em> endocrine mechanisms. We integrated previously reported HIV-induced secreted inflammatory factors (Hi-SIFs), HIV and HPV virus–human protein interactions, and cervical cancer patient genomic data using network propagation to understand the pathways underlying disease development in HPV/HIV coinfection.

Furthermore, we experimentally stimulated cervical cells with 14 Hi-SIFs to assess their ability to activate PI3K-AKT signaling.

The levels of bile acid metabolism-related targets were assessed by ELISA, western blotting, and RT-qPCR. The relative abundances of gut microbes and biomarkers were determined using 16S rRNA sequencing analysis. Bile acid levels in the liver and ileum were examined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The relationship between gut microbes and bile acids was assessed by Spearman's correlation analysis. <em>Results</em>: 3-AB significantly reduced the formation of aortic plaques in <em>apoE</em><small><sup>−/−</sup></small> mice, according to gross oil red staining.
