However, existing techniques suffer from a very low number of experimentally verified labels as well as the complexity of modeling sequence context. Previous work only focuses on semi-supervised learning (SSL) or pre-trained language models (PLMs) individually and does not consider their complementarity: whereas PLMs capture syntactic conservatism and long-range dependency from huge unlabeled sequence data as features, SSL updates label-level certainty via confidence-weighted pseudo-label selection. To realize integrating these benefits, we make a creative use of PLMs as strong feature extractors to make the sequence semantics extracted, and meanwhile leverage the SSL to constrain the decision boundary by selecting reliable pseudo-labels. We show that our framework achieves competitive performance compared to full supervision while using far fewer labeled samples, on two biological prediction tasks: DNA-binding protein (DBP) and non-coding RNA (ncRNA) detection. In general, our approach, developed here, not only offers an efficient solution for discovering new DBP and ncRNA in low-resource settings where experimental verification is infeasible, but also lays a solid methodological foundation for biological sequence classification in computational biology. Key points Unlabeled data significantly improves model accuracy in semi-supervised learning. The language model-based self-training method outperforms traditional semi-supervised approaches like TSVM. It achieves competitive performance against state-of-the-art fully supervised methods, requiring only 1% labeled data for effective classification and accurately identifying novel biomolecules.</p>","PeriodicalId":55323,"journal":{"name":"Briefings in Functional Genomics","volume":"25 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13267906/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148260677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AGRN expression and its prognostic significance were analyzed in cervical cancer using TCGA and GTEx data. In vitro, AGRN levels were measured in HeLa, CaSki, and Ect1/E6E7 cells via qRT-PCR. mRNA and protein expression levels of AGRN, beta-catenin, and ferroptosis-related markers were evaluated by qRT-PCR and western blot (WB). Cell viability, RSL3 sensitivity (IC50), and lipid ROS were assessed via CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry. In a xenograft model, RSL3's effect on tumor growth was examined. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and molecular analyses (qRT-PCR, WB, and flow cytometry) were performed on tumor tissues to evaluate AGRN, beta-catenin, Ki-67, ferroptosis-related genes, and lipid ROS.

Its overexpression activated Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, resulting in elevated GPX4 and SLC7A11 levels and reduced CHAC1 and PTGS2 expression levels.

Unlike conventional biomarker discovery approaches, our strategy integrates multi-cohort transcriptomic and clinical datasets, enhancing robustness and reliability of findings. Initially, differentially expressed genes were identified from three Gene Expression Omnibus datasets for LC and its RFs. Next, using shared biomarkers, we constructed a gene-disease association (diseasome) network, revealing 230 unique genes, including 126 shared between LC and liver cirrhosis. Subsequently, RNA-seq and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were analyzed through combined and multivariate Cox survival models, identifying 70 prognostic genes. Among these, we identified RGS5, SULT1C2, CSM3, and CXCL14 as consistent survival-associated markers.

Migrasomes were isolated from ESCC cells under normoxia/hypoxia, with TSPAN4-GFP labeling, transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and western blot for validation. Whole-transcriptome sequencing analyzed hypoxic migrasome RNA profiles, and ceRNA networks were predicted via RNAhybrid and Miranda.

ESCC cells produced migrasomes. Although hypoxia did not alter their quantity or structure, it significantly altered their RNA cargo, changing the composition of mRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA.

From the NCBI-Genome database, we investigated 12 strains of M. catarrhalis.

Moreover, to elucidate the molecular mechanism of the AMR system, clustering and the functional enrichment analysis were assessed employing AMR gene interactions networks. According to the findings of our assessment, the majority of the genes in the network were involved in antibiotic inactivation; antibiotic target replacement, alteration and antibiotic efflux pump processes. Additionally, rpoB, atpA, fusA, groEL and rpoL have the highest frequency of relevant interactors in the interaction network and are therefore regarded as the hub nodes. These hub genes only reflects their centrality in cellular function, rather than direct or selective targets for antimicrobial development without reservation.
