In this study, we propose the obesity and cancer edge connectivity based on expanded modular disease genes and expanded modular networks (OCEC_eDMN) algorithm, which based on the disease-related genes, Biological Process (BP) genes, and Protein-Potein Interaction (PPI) network. The algorithm utilizes Random Walk with Restart (RWR) to expand BP genes and disease genes to generate the expanded modular networks (eMNs) and disease genes (eMDs). Finally, this algorithm calculates the average interaction number between eMDs on eMNs. We utilize OCEC_eDMN to predict the ranking of 12 cancers related to obesity/morbid obesity and obtain an AUC of 0.93/0.84. Additionally, OCEC_eDMN reveals the significant BPs associated with obesity-cancer connections. For instance, \"gluconeogenesis\" plays a critical role in the connections between obesity and cancers. Through key driver analysis (KDA) on eMDs, we identify the key connectors in obesity-cancer connections.

Although SIRT2 regulates fibrosis, its mechanisms of action remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of SIRT2 inhibition on myofibroblast transition in human renal cells under quiescent conditions. HK-2 kidney proximal tubular epithelial cells were starved of serum, resulting in the formation of primary cilia. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) stimulation reduced both the number of ciliated cells and ciliary length. The ciliary defects resulted from a failure in autophagy termination, leading to the accumulation of OFD1, a negative regulator of ciliogenesis, at centriolar satellites. This phenomenon was correlated with the upregulation of fibrosis-related proteins. To elucidate the role of SIRT2 in the autophagy−ciliogenesis−fibrosis axis, cells were treated with AGK2, a specific inhibitor of SIRT2. AGK2 treatment promoted the formation of both autophagosomes and autolysosomes and facilitated OFD1 degradation at the centriolar satellites, resulting in the lengthening of primary cilia. Restoration of primary cilia by AGK2 was associated with the suppression of myofibroblast transition. In conclusion, SIRT2 inhibition attenuates TGF-β-induced fibrosis by promoting autophagy-mediated ciliogenesis.

In worst scenarios, DFU can lead to severe amputation or even death. DFUs are an easy target for microbial pathogens and their effective healing is hampered by the galloping increase of microbial resistance to antibiotics, including from the most prevalent pathogens in DFU, <em>e.g. Staphylococcus aureus</em>. As such, available antibiotics show poor efficacy in the treatment of DFU, leading to a chronic condition that is exacerbated by poor healing rates due to the persistent inflammation, poor oxygenation and low angiogenesis, leading to high risk of ischemia, among other conditions that typically affect patients with diabetes. Our group has recently designed new peptide-based strategies towards the topical treatment of DFU, whereby peptide-ionic liquid conjugates emerged as highly promising agents. One of the best such conjugates, C₁₆-Im-PP4, results from coupling an imidazolium-based ionic liquid with intrinsic antimicrobial activity to the <em>N</em>-terminus of a collagen boosting peptide used in cosmetics, the pentapeptide-4. C₁₆-Im-PP4 showed excellent <em>in vitro</em> properties, namely, wide-spectrum antimicrobial action and collagen-boosting effect on human dermal fibroblasts, prompting the <em>in vivo</em> study here reported. The peptide-ionic liquid conjugate was applied topically on wounds of mice with diabetes. The results show multitargeted actions, at a dose of 1 µg/wound including: i) anti-inflammatory; ii) antioxidant; iii) pro-collagenic; vi) pro-angiogenic; v) antimicrobial; and vi) improved wound maturation effects.

Although the role of molecular chaperones in PD and other protein aggregation diseases has been extensively investigated, the in vivo investigation of disaggregation chaperones, including HSP70, HSP105, and co-chaperone DNAJBs, remains relatively limited. The present study aims to elucidate the expression dynamics of the disaggregation molecular chaperones within the substantia nigra pars compacta of the rotenone-induced Parkinsonian rat model and its association with α-syn aggregation. The rotenone-treated rats exhibited significant behavioural symptoms, α-syn aggregation and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, confirming the development of Parkinsonism. Significant upregulation of α-syn expression/phosphorylation and co-localization in TH+ve neurons in the SNpc of treated rats was observed. Further, the gene and protein analysis of HSP70, DNAJB6, and HSP105 were found to be upregulated and TH+ve neurons showed their co-localization with p-α-syn^ser129 expression. The total proteomic analysis of SNpc correlated the altered cellular processes with cellular homeostasis imbalance. The observations of the present study provide an in vivo analysis of disaggregation-associated molecular chaperones in Parkinsonian or α-syn related conditions.

Patients with NAFLD were classified using the 11-hub gene signature. Integrated analysis of signaling pathway enrichment, gene set enrichment, nearest template prediction, infiltration by hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and pseudotime trajectories was performed on three bulk and one single-cell transcriptomes from NAFLD patients. Molecular features were compared between high-risk and low-risk groups, and associations were explored between hub gene signature expression and activation of HSCs. It was found that the high-risk group was characterized by advanced fibrosis stage, elevated risk for hepatocellular carcinoma, more significant infiltration by activated HSCs, as well as enrichment in signaling pathways related to fibrogenesis and NAFLD progression. Moreover, the 11-hub gene signature at the single-cell transcriptome level correlated with HSCs activation. <em>In vitro</em> experiments were conducted to evaluate the expression levels of hub genes, and <em>IL6</em> was found to be up-regulated in activated LX-2 cells showing lipid accumulation.
