Current therapeutic approaches have proven largely ineffective in treating this malignancy, resulting in a very low survival rate. Accordingly, finding new therapeutic strategies seems inevitable.

CTSB and CTSD are two important proteins associated with invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis, which are overexpressed in glioblastoma.

Utilizing next-generation sequencing (NGS), Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), Sanger sequencing, 103 FH cases from the Vietnam Familial Hypercholesterolemia (VINAFH) Program were analyzed, identifying 21 low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) variants in 39.8 % of the patients, including 3 novel variants. Advanced computational modeling was used to obtain insights into the biological impact of these mutations. Most variants (81 %) were located in ligand-binding and Epidermal growth factor (EGF) homology domains, critical for LDLR-LDL binding and subsequent clearance. Disruptive mutations in these domains (<em>e.g.</em>, Gln660Ter, Cys104Tyr, Cys318Arg), impaired LDLR function by destabilizing protein structure, reducing solvent-accessible surface area, and increasing root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) values, which weakened receptor-ligand interactions, leading to elevated plasma LDL-C levels. Notably, Asp227Glu enhanced stability without functional impairment, indicating mutation-specific effects. Mutations in transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains, such as Val797Met and Gly844Ser, disrupted intracellular signaling and receptor recycling, further compromising LDL clearance. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed dynamic instabilities in mutants carrying Ser586Pro and His583Tyr, linking structural flexibility and misfolding to impaired LDLR-LDL binding and trafficking (critical processes in cholesterol homeostasis). We established genotype-phenotype relationships, with homozygous FH (HoFH) and compound heterozygous FH (cHeFH) patients exhibiting more severe symptoms, including significantly higher LDL-C levels and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), compared to heterozygous FH (HeFH) patients.

This cancer type frequently spreads to distant organs, including the brain, liver, and bones, contributing to its high mortality rate among lung cancer subtypes. Therefore, effective strategies need to be developed for early detection and prognosis of LUAD. Transcriptomic advancements have helped in better prognosis by analyzing the complex interplay among protein-coding and non-coding genes across various cancers. However, the regulatory mechanisms and the interactions between the coding and non-coding elements involved in LUAD progression is poorly understood. In this quest, we used weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) approach on RNA-Seq data and identified a set of protein-coding genes (PCGs) and lncRNAs that are crucial for the development of LUAD. Further, we derived the networks of PCGs with lncRNAs at the mRNA (i.e., transcriptional) and protein (i.e., post-transcriptional) levels. Our analysis revealed 405 PCGs as the candidate biomarkers among which ADAMTS8, PECAM1, RGCC, and TCF21 were detected as key PCGs. Gene ontology and pathway analysis suggested angiogenesis as the crucial pathway regulated by the candidate biomarkers. BANCR was the only lncRNA among those analyzed that showed both differential expression in tumor tissues and a significant association with better survival, making it a promising candidate for further investigation as a prognostic biomarker in LUAD.
