RAC3 is closely linked to chemoresistance in cancer cells, but its specific role in cisplatin resistance within BCa is still elusive. RAC3 expression in BCa was analyzed using bioinformatics and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) identified RAC3-enriched pathways and the correlation between RAC3 and fatty acid synthase (FASN), a gene involved in fatty acid synthesis. Potential upstream transcription factors of RAC3 were predicted and their interaction with RAC3 was confirmed via dual-luciferase and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays. T24/DDP, a cisplatin-resistant BCa cell line, was established to probe into the regulatory role of RAC3 in cisplatin resistance. Cell proliferation was evaluated by colony formation and the IC<sub>50</sub> values after cisplatin treatment were determined using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). The levels of free fatty acids and triglycerides (TGs), as well as the expression of DGAT2 and FASN proteins, were measured to gauge the extent of fatty acid synthesis in cells. Elevated expression of RAC3 was observed in BCa and the cisplatin-resistant BCa cells (T24/DDP). The knockdown of RAC3 within T24/DDP cells was demonstrated to counteract cisplatin resistance. Subsequent analyses identified RAC3 as being notably enriched in the fatty acid synthesis pathway, with Kruppel-like factor 1 (KLF1) emerging as a key upstream regulator. The overexpression of RAC3 was correlated with increased cisplatin resistance in T24/DDP cells, an effect that was mitigated by the addition of the FASN inhibitor, Orlistat. Furthermore, the downregulation of KLF1 suppressed RAC3 expression, disrupted fatty acid synthesis, and attenuated cisplatin resistance in T24/DDP cells. Conversely, the co-overexpression of RAC3 counteracted the effects conferred by KLF1 knockdown. Our study has validated that KLF1 activates RAC3 to mediate fatty acid synthesis and promote cisplatin resistance in BCa, suggesting the KLF1/RAC3 axis as a potential target for combating cisplatin-resistant BCa.</p>","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"18 5","pages":"15579883241273305"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11459471/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142387236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to review studies examining associations between characteristics of Black fathers and adverse pregnancy outcomes in the United States. A systematic narrative synthesis was conducted of research studies examining paternal characteristics of Black fathers in association with adverse pregnancy outcomes: preterm birth, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes, spontaneous abortion, and maternal mortality. Seven databases (Academic Search Premier, CINHAL, CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials.gov, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science) were searched for original research articles from inception to February 2023. Articles were excluded if they (a) were in a language other than English, (b) did not describe original research, (c) included a geographic region outside of the United States, (d) did not include adverse maternal outcomes as a study outcome, (e) did not describe race of fathers in the study sample, and (f) did not describe a paternal characteristic of Black fathers. The search resulted in 210 articles. Six studies were included in the final review; five studies examined associations between paternal characteristics of Black fathers and preterm birth, finding significantly increased odds of preterm birth among births with Black fathers. Among births with non-Hispanic Black paternity, the odds of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were reduced or not significantly associated. Researchers should continue to explore paternal factors that influence pregnancy outcomes in racial/ethnic-specific models to identify optimal intervention strategies to improve disparities in maternal and child health outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"18 4","pages":"15579883241266466"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11282517/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141764750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The MANifest Health Theory (MHT) offers a comprehensive framework to address cis-gender men's unique health needs by considering the complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors. Rooted in four interconnected core concepts-Biopsychosocial Model, Health Optimization, Health Synchronicity, and Ethnocultural Expression-MHT provides a holistic understanding of men's health. This article explores how MHT integrates inductive and deductive reasoning, describing, explaining, predicting, and controlling aspects of men's health. Key components such as Gender-Sensitive Care, Health Empowerment, Supportive Environments, and Interdisciplinary Collaboration are discussed in relation to practical strategies for health care delivery. The limitations of MHT, including its developmental status, cultural applicability, and inclusivity of diverse gender identities, are acknowledged. Future steps for validating and refining the theory through empirical research, cultural adaptation, and inclusion of diverse gender experiences are outlined. By applying MHT, health care professionals can deliver more holistic and culturally competent care, promoting healthier lifestyles and reducing health care disparities among men.</p>","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"18 4","pages":"15579883241274616"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11363041/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142091411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
