However, necroptosis is known to regulate a number of physiological and pathological events. This study investigated the role of RIPK1/RIPK3 and MLKL, the main regulators of necroptosis, against different heat stresses in testis tissue. Forty-two Wistar albino rats were divided into seven groups: six experimental exposed to heat stress and one control. Heat stress was induced by causing the rats to swim for 30 min daily for 60 days in a water bath at temperatures of 39 °C and 43 °C. Testis tissues were collected while the animals were under anesthesia on the 1st, 7th, and 14th days after 60 days of heat application. The tissues were first fixed in Bouin's solution. After routine histological procedures, immunohistochemical staining was performed on one-half of the tissues using RIPK1/RIPK3 and MLKL primary antibodies on serially collected 5 μm-thick sections. Immunoblotting analysis was performed on the other half. Analyses revealed an increase in the expression of RIPK1/RIPK3 and MLKL proteins, regulators of necroptosis, in both the 39 °C and 43 °C groups, although this was greater in the tissue exposed to 43 °C heat stress. These molecules were also especially affected by round and elongated spermatids, and reactivity was observed in Leydig cells. In conclusion, exposure to increased temperature may cause RIPK1/RIPK3 and MLKL-mediated cellular changes in the testis.</p>","PeriodicalId":650,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Histology","volume":"56 1","pages":"74"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143035752","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}

Among these, long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 02418 (LINC02418), a recently identified lncRNA, has been linked to endometrial cancer (EC), although its function and operational mechanisms are largely unclear. The present investigation aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism through which LINC02418 influences EC pathogenesis. We employed Western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR to analyze Ras protein specific guanine nucleotide releasing factor 1 (RASGRF1) and LINC02418 expression profiles in EC tissues and cell lines. Functional analyses, including cell proliferation, migration, and invasion assays, were conducted to evaluate the impact of LINC02418 overexpression on EC cells. Xenograft mouse models were established for in vivo validation. The molecular interactions between LINC02418, miR-494-3p, and RASGRF1 were characterized using luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. LINC02418 expression was significantly downregulated in EC tissues and cell lines compared to their normal counterparts. Forced expression of LINC02418 significantly suppressed EC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. In xenograft models, LINC02418 overexpression resulted in reduced tumor burden and enhanced cell death. Mechanistically, LINC02418 enhanced RASGRF1 expression by sequestering miR-494-3p, a finding substantiated by RNA pull-down assays. The tumor-suppressive effects of LINC02418 were partially reversed by RASGRF1 silencing and miR-494-3p overexpression. Clinical analyses revealed that reduced RASGRF1 expression correlated with poor histological differentiation, advanced tumor stages, and decreased overall survival in EC patients. Our findings establish LINC02418 as a tumor suppressor that regulates EC progression through modulation of the miR-494-3p/RASGRF1 axis, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in EC treatment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":650,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Histology","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142995764","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}

The day-28 bacterial colony formation unit (CFU) in vertebral bone and circulatory WBC counts at the time points of days 7/14/28, and the protein expressions of upstream (TRL-2/TLR-4/MYD88/TRAF6/IKKα/IKKβ /IKBβ/p-NF-κB) and downstream (IL-1β/IL-6/TNF-α/IFN-γ/iNOS) inflammatory signalings displayed a similar pattern of inflammatory biomarkers in spinal fluid among the groups (all <i>p</i> &lt; 0.0001). By day 28, the bone injury score/bone marrow density/ratio of bone volume (BV) to the bone tissue volume (TV)/ratio of bone surface (BS) to BV/ratio of BS to bone TV/trabecular number exhibited an opposite, whereas the trabecular space exhibited an alike pattern of inflammatory biomarkers among the groups (all <i>p</i> &lt; 0.0001). Combined ceftriaxone and ADMSCs therapy offered an additional benefit on protecting the vertebral bone/spinal cord against ASI damage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":650,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Histology","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10735-024-10344-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142925740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
