Circ_0001461 has been proven to be closely associated with the occurrence and development of various cancers. This study explored the function and possible mechanism of circ_0001461 in CRC. The RNA expression level was detected using qRT-PCR. The viability, apoptosis or invasion ability of CRC cells were explored by CCK-8, flow cytometry or Transwell experiment, respectively. The protein expression level in cells was analyzed by Western blot (WB). IFN-γ, IL-2 or TNF-α levels were investigated via ELISA experiment. The targeting relationship between circ_0001461, miR-532-3p and AMOTL2 was confirmed via dual-luciferase reporter experiment, RNA pull-down experiment and RIP assay. The protein expression in tissues was explored by IHC staining. Tumor volumes, body weights, tumor weights and apoptosis levels were detected in xenograft mouse model. Circ_0001461 was greatly expressed in CRC samples and was associated with poor prognosis. Silencing circ_0001461 reduced cell proliferation, increased cell apoptosis rate, decreased invasion ability and inhibited immune escape in vitro. Additionally, silencing circ_0001461 prominently shortened the tumor volume and tumor weight in vivo. Circ_0001461 targeted miR-532-3p to regulate AMOTL2 expression. AMOTL2 was the downstream targets of miR-532-3p. Downregulation of miR-532-3p or overexpression of AMOTL2 abolished the effect of silencing circ_0001461. Collectively, our research demonstrated that the circ_0001461 played a certain regulatory role in growth, movement and immune escape of colon cancer via miR-532-3p/AMOTL2 axis.","PeriodicalId":482,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144493323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies have indicated that aberrant expression of NSUN3 may be associated with the development of a range of tumors. UALCAN and GEPIA2 were utilized for bioinformatics analyses, while lentiviral vectors and small interfering RNA techniques were employed to create cell lines with either overexpression or silencing of NSUN3. To assess the impact of NSUN3 on hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vitro, CCK-8 assays, apoptosis assays, and cell cycle analyses were conducted. The accumulation of ROS mediated by NSUN3 was evaluated using fluorescent probes specific for ROS. Additionally, Western blotting was performed to verify transfection efficiency and to analyze the expression levels of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and BCL-2 protein. The findings of the current investigation indicate that NSUN3 is markedly overexpressed in HCC and is associated with a negative prognosis. The role of NSUN3 in modulating mitochondrial energy metabolism implies that its overexpression may facilitate the proliferation of HCC cells through the promotion of ROS accumulation. In contrast, the silencing of NSUN3 has been demonstrated to hinder the proliferation of HCC cells. Furthermore, the results also indicate that NSUN3 has the capacity to activate the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, this resulted in the preliminary clarification of the molecular mechanisms at play. In summary, our research addresses the functional role of NSUN3 in HCC. The initial identification of NSUN3 suggests that it may serve as a promising target for the development of novel therapeutic strategies in the treatment of HCC.","PeriodicalId":482,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144473643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through integrated bioinformatics analysis of clinical datasets, we identified significant upregulation of TMEM44 in HCC tissues, which correlated with adverse prognostic indicators. This overexpression was further validated at both protein and transcriptional levels via Western blotting and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) in HCC-derived cell lines and patient specimens. Functional characterization employing loss-of-function approaches in HCCLM3 and Huh-7 cell models demonstrated that TMEM44 silencing markedly attenuated malignant phenotypes: Transwell migration assays and wound healing analysis revealed impaired cellular motility, while 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation assays showed suppressed proliferation. Furthermore, flow cytometric analysis indicated induced cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase and enhanced apoptotic susceptibility upon TMEM44 knockdown.

Chronic inflammation is a risk factor for various cancers, including CRC. However, the specific mechanisms by which inflammation contributes to cancer development are not fully understood. Our study assessed PARP1 and NF-κB mRNA expression in different stages of CRC, aiming to elucidate their roles in inflammation-driven CRC pathogenesis and define their stage-specific expression patterns. The study involved 35 CRC tissue samples and a control group of 25 samples from the healthy margins of colon cancer. PARP1 and NF-κB mRNA levels were determined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in tumor tissue samples, as well as the adjacent part of normal tissue. Our results revealed that PARP1 and NF-κB/p50 gene expression was significantly higher in CRC vs. control. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between PARP1 and NF-κB/p50 mRNA expression levels. PARP1 was found to be responsible for 14.5% of the change in NF-κB/p50. Both PARP1 and NF-κB/p50 had high accuracy in the diagnosis of CRC with AUC = 0.905 and 0.956, respectively. This study revealed the overexpression of PARP1 and NF-κB genes in CRC cases, which suggests that the use of PARP1 inhibitors and anti-inflammatory drugs could be effective in CRC treatment. PARP1/NF-κB showed preliminary associations with CRC that merit diagnostic evaluation in larger studies. Our data suggest that PARP1 and NF-κB expression may complement CEA in characterizing CRC biology though future studies must determine whether these markers have independent prognostic value.","PeriodicalId":482,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144332153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study validated reproducible DNA markers for early selection in Indian cannabis germplasm. For sex determination, i.e., three Sequence Characterized Amplified Region (SCAR) markers-SCAR119, SCAR323, and the Male-Associated DNA Clone 2 (MADC2), were evaluated. The MADC2 marker reliably amplified a 390 bp fragment in male plants, whereas most female plants exhibited 560 bp and 870 bp bands. This strong correlation between MADC2 genotypes and phenotypic sex underscores its utility for early sex identification, which is critical for maximizing cannabinoid yield by preventing unwanted pollination. In parallel, chemotype-specific markers were assessed to predict cannabinoid profiles. Using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), plants were classified into three chemotypes based on THCA: CBDA ratios: THC-dominant, intermediate, and CBD-dominant. The dominant marker D589 was associated with THC biosynthesis, while the co-dominant marker B1080/B1192 provided refined differentiation between chemotypes by detecting allelic variations in cannabinoid synthase genes. Cloning and sequence analysis of these markers revealed significant similarity to known genomic regions involved in cannabinoid production. In summary, the validated SCAR markers enable early and accurate identification of sex and cannabinoid chemotype in Cannabis sativa. These tools offer substantial benefits for marker-assisted breeding, regulatory compliance (e.g., maintaining THC levels below 0.3% for hemp), and optimizing cultivation practices for both industrial and pharmaceutical applications in India.","PeriodicalId":482,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144323995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their complexity and genetic variety show how adaptable they are to different environmental settings and shed light on their evolutionary history. To delve into the genetic intricacies of the genus Channa, we analyzed mitochondrial genetic diversity using 1372 COI sequences obtained from the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD) database. The metadata and phylogenetic analysis revealed the presence of species complex within C. gachua and C. marulius, suggesting the potential existence of intra and inter-clades within one species group. Further, we selected four ecologically and economically important taxonomic groups to study their haplotype diversity and genetic differentiation. These species/taxonomic groups include C. striata, C. punctata, gachua species complex, and marulius species complex. The analysis indicated a substantial level of genetic differentiation and haplotype diversity in species groups indicating high gene flow within populations. Mitochondrial introgression and species complexes account for a significant section of errors in DNA barcodes, which are two of the primary challenges associated with employing DNA barcoding to identify species. Highlighting these challenges and ongoing uncertainties in specific taxonomic groups of genus Channa, the study argues that the efficacy of DNA barcoding and the genetic integrity of wild variation may be weakened when speciation results in the establishment of numerous cryptic taxa in a species complex.","PeriodicalId":482,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144323996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Little is known about the species' genetic and population dynamics, despite the economic importance in the region. The study aimed to use microsatellites to gather baseline genetic and population data and assess the effect of water management practices on population structure. The study revealed low-to-moderate genetic diversity within sample localities but significantly high differentiation among populations. Findings indicated significant inbreeding within populations and strong evidence of recent bottlenecks. Genetic relatedness analysis, a UPGMA dendrogram and Bayesian clustering, clearly divided the populations into two clusters, which suggests a significant genetic divergence. Anthropogenic activities and water management strategies significantly influenced the genetic population structure in the studied regions. To ensure the long-term survival of this vulnerable species, conservation-oriented management should prioritize preserving current genetic diversity, given its distinct genetic patterns.","PeriodicalId":482,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144273888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
