Analysis of a tertiary hospital in Shenzhen (2021-2024) reveals profound alterations in seasonal patterns.

Respiratory syncytial virus demonstrated altered seasonality with substantial warm-season transmission replacing traditional winter patterns. World Health Organization (WHO) global surveillance confirmed parallel worldwide trends. Influenza activity collapsed dramatically in 2021 before resurging with irregular timing and unprecedented intensity through 2025. Respiratory syncytial virus exhibited off-season epidemics across multiple regions before gradually re-establishing modified seasonal patterns at elevated baseline levels. These epidemiological shifts resulted from immunity gaps created by reduced viral exposure, staggered lifting of pandemic restrictions across regions, and viral competition dynamics.

The purity of G1H2GC2 was over 97% in RP-HPLC, and its high purity was further verified by the appearance of a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).

Although phenotypic traits such as morphology and biofilm formation vary among T. asahii strains, the impact of different gene transfer methods on gene-targeting efficiency remains poorly characterized. In this study, we compared the gene-targeting efficiency of Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) and electroporation. In T. asahii JCM2466 (CBS2479), a strain with high hyphal-forming ability, the ku70 gene-deficient mutant exhibited a higher gene-targeting efficiency via ATMT than the wild-type strain when generating a cnb1 gene-deficient mutant. The cnb1 gene encodes the β-subunit of calcineurin. In contrast, in the ku70 gene-deficient background of T. asahii JCM2466, cnb1-deficient mutants could not be generated by electroporation. The gene-targeting efficiencies of ATMT and electroporation in the ku70 gene-deficient mutant of T. asahii JCM2466 were 18% and 0%, respectively. The cnb1 gene-deficient mutants exhibited sensitivity to high temperature and several stress-inducing compounds. These results suggest that ATMT is a suitable gene transfer method for generating gene-deficient mutants in the ku70-deficient T. asahii JCM2466 background.

We comprehensively investigated the relationships between TRPC6 and breast cancer using online databases, including TIMER, cBioPortal, UALCAN, the Kaplan-Meier plotter, the Human Protein Atlas, STRING, and the LinkedOmics, to evaluate the prognostic value of TRPC6. We also tentatively explored the effects of TRPC6 modulation on proliferation and metastasis potential in several breast cancer cell lines by MTT assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry, and scratch wound healing assay. The TCGA data showed lower TRPC6 gene expression in breast tumours versus normal breast tissues. The Human Protein Atlas revealed that the TRPC6 protein was generally expressed at low levels in both normal and breast carcinoma tissue. The Kaplan-Meier plotter showed that the low TRPC6 level is correlated with worse relapse-free survival probability in breast cancer. Moreover, the TRPC6 gene was linked to immune infiltration in breast cancer, and this relationship affected the prognosis of breast cancer. In contrast to published researches, we found that TRPC6 expression was negatively correlated with breast cancer cell proliferation and metastasis abilities, suggesting TRPC6 as a promising prognostic biomarker for breast cancer, where low expression of TRPC6 was related to worse prognoses. This research raises the necessity of rethinking the mechanism perspective and targetability of TRPC6 in breast cancer, which warrants further investigation.</p>","PeriodicalId":520606,"journal":{"name":"Drug discoveries & therapeutics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145305079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
