We have developed a robust metric derived from splicing quantification in the RNA-seq data to measure NMD efficiency at a sample level. We demonstrate that NMD efficiency varies substantially both between and within tissues, with the magnitude of the variation comparable to that observed upon knockdown of the core NMD factor UPF1. By analyzing TCGA cancer cohorts, we further show that, in many tumors, unproductive splicing events undergo coordinated changes towards either collective suppression or collective activation of NMD isoforms, which is indicative of global deregulation of the activity of the NMD pathway. Consistently, we observed a striking divergence of NMD efficiency in cancers from the tissue-specific baseline level, suggesting that tumors partially erase the NMD signature of their tissue of origin. The application of the developed metric to RNA-binding protein knockdowns made it possible to identify several novel potential regulators of NMD efficiency.

The evolution of the pathogenic potential of Klebsiella pneumoniae has led to the emergence of strains simultaneously characterized by increased aggressiveness (virulence) and prolonged survival in the host organism. This combination of properties contributes to the emergence of \"superbugs,\" necessitating the search for specific markers that would make it possible to prevent the spread of highly adaptive clones. Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKp) strains represent a growing global health threat, since they combine high invasiveness and antibiotic resistance. An analysis of 92 K. pneumoniae clinical isolates was conducted to assess the prevalence of the key hypervirulence genes (iroB, peg-344, rmpA, rmpA2, and iucA) and investigate their association with the bacterial persister formation gene ptsH. It was found that 64.1% (59/92) of the isolates carried at least one hvKp gene, iucA being the most frequent one (62.0%). The full set of five hvKp genes was identified in only one case (1%). The strains of sequence types ST23, ST268, ST86, ST534, ST219, ST101, and ST395 accumulated virulence genes, whereas ST512 and ST14 rarely harbored hvKp genes. A key finding was the detection of a significant association between the presence of the ptsH gene (found in 50% of the strains) and the accumulation of hvKp genes: the ptsH-positive strains were statistically more likely to harbor the complete aerobactin operon (iucABCD), in combination with one or more additional hypervirulence genes, compared to the ptsH-negative strains (p < 0.05). Our findings indicate that the ptsH gene is crucial in the formation of polygenically determined hypervirulence, and that its role in controlling bacterial persistence creates evolutionary advantages under stress induced by antibiotics or immune factors, thus promoting evasion of their actions.

Two competing hypotheses exist regarding the origin of Maria Vsevolozha, attributing it to either Ossetian or Czech nobility. Maria Shvarnovna was buried in the Knyaginin Monastery in Vladimir, Russia. Although her remains were reinterred several times, they were never moved from the original burial location. During the 2015 restoration works, skeletal remains, presumably belonging to Maria Shvarnovna, were sampled for paleogenetic analysis in order to determine their origin. More than 144,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified. Their analysis demonstrated that the remains belong to a female carrying mitochondrial haplogroup U4b1a4 and unambiguously confirmed a third-degree biological relationship (great-grandmother-great-grandson) with Prince Dmitry Alexandrovich, the son of Grand Prince Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky. This result fully corresponds to the genealogical relationships described in medieval chronicles. A multivariate statistical analysis of the genome revealed the two most probable proximal genetic sources of her origin: an Alan component, understood here in a broad cultural-historical sense encompassing populations of the Early and High Middle Ages, and an East Eurasian component. Among medieval populations, the genome of Maria Shvarnovna shows the closest genetic affinity to individuals associated with the SaltovoMayaki archaeological culture, characteristic of the Don forest-steppe region and resulting from the migration of Alan tribes, as well as to individuals from the Kara-Zhygach necropolis (14<sup>th</sup> century), whose genomes also consist of a dominant Alan and a minor East Eurasian component.

PD is characterized by the dysfunction of multiple body functions caused by changes in the expression of a large number of genes. Current evidence suggests that changes in the innate immunity and neuroinflammation may play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease. However, the exact mechanism through which immune dysfunction develops in the context of PD pathogenesis remains unclear. In this study, with the use of transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq), followed by quantitative PCR, we managed to detect a differential expression of the genes involved in the immune activity in neural progenitors (NPs) and glial cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells from healthy donors (HDs) and PD patients carrying mutations in the <i>PARK2</i> gene. Expression of many of the genes involved in a number of innate immune signaling pathways (in particular, in the canonical NFκB, non-canonical NFκB, the TNFα/NFκB, IL6/STAT3, IL2/STAT5 pathways, as well as the IFNγ and IFNα response) in cells from PD patients was found to be reduced compared to that in the cells from healthy donors. A mechanism for regulating these signaling pathways in the neural precursors of PD patients carrying mutations in the <i>PARK2</i> gene is proposed.</p>","PeriodicalId":6989,"journal":{"name":"Acta Naturae","volume":"18 1","pages":"104-113"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13135831/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147831459","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}
