So, urgent needs are required to identify novel therapeutic targets for ED. Hence, in this report, it was the first time for us to integrate single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq), mendelian randomization (MR) analysis with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), and protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) data to find new treatment targets for ED. Disease-causing changes were revealed by MR analysis, and it showed that the OAS1 eQTL/cis-eQTL/cis-pQTL was causally related to ED, significantly reducing its risks (all P < 0.05). Disease-induced changes were revealed by scRNA-Seq, and it suggested that OAS1 mainly played its role in ED via targeting fibroblasts. We further concluded that the positive regulation of OAS1 gene expression could lead to the vicious circle of ED. As a result, drugs targeting OAS1 in the future might provide more potential opportunities and flexibility for treating ED. In conclusion, our study identified OAS1 as a gene of interest in the context of ED via targeting fibroblasts through integrated MR and scRNA-Seq analyses. While these findings highlighted the potential of OAS1 as a therapeutic target, further experimental and clinical studies were still required to validate its functional role and therapeutic relevance in ED pathology.</p>","PeriodicalId":9164,"journal":{"name":"Biology Direct","volume":"19 1","pages":"136"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142880896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its role in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) remains unclear. We measured STEAP3 expression in LUSC cell lines and tissues. LUSC cells with stable STEAP3 overexpression and knockdown were obtained through G418 selection. Multiple assays were used to evaluate the malignant phenotypes of LUSC cells and the activation of the β-catenin signaling. The potential transcriptional regulatory factors of STEAP3 were predicted using the JASPAR database, and the correlation between transcription factor AP-2 gamma (TFAP2C) and STEAP3 was analyzed through the GEPIA database. The study evaluated the regulatory relationship between a potential transcription factor and STEAP3 through ChIP and luciferase reporter assays. Additionally, rescue assays were utilized to ascertain whether TFAP2C serves as the upstream regulatory factor of STEAP3, contributing to LUSC progression. Finally, tumor growth and metastasis were evaluated in vivo. STEAP3 expression was notably higher in LUSC, and its overexpression was linked to a poor prognosis. Moreover, STEAP3 overexpression activated the β-catenin pathway, thereby accelerating cell proliferation and metastasis. Conversely, STEAP3 knockdown had an anti-tumor effect in LUSC. Additionally, TFAP2C bound directly to the STEAP3 promoter and positively regulate its expression in LUSC. The anti-tumor effects of TFAP2C knockdown were partially reversed by STEAP3 overexpression. The study indicates that the TFAP2C/STEAP3 axis may be a therapeutic target for LUSC treatment.

Second, biological signals are not abstract variables, but rather material molecules that may undergo complex turnover processes of synthesis and degradation. We suggest that the particular nature of biological signals may condition the type of information they can convey, and their potential role in shaping the dynamics and the ultimate purpose of homeostatic systems. We show that the dynamic interplay between regulated variables and control signals is a key determinant of biological homeostasis, challenging the necessity and the convenience of strictly extrapolating concepts from engineering control theory in modeling the dynamics of homeostatic systems. This work provides a simple, unified framework for studying biological regulation and identifies general principles that transcend molecular details of particular homeostatic mechanisms.

A competing endogenous RNA microarray was used to analyze circRNA expression in serum exosomes in patients with CRC at early and late stages. circSCP2 expression was evaluated using qRT-PCR. The biological functions of circSCP2 in CRC were assessed through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The molecular mechanism of circSCP2 was explored using western blotting, RNA pulldown, RNA immunoprecipitation, luciferase assays, and relative rescue experiments. circSCP2 expression was significantly elevated in CRC tissues, with higher levels in serum exosomes correlating with advanced TNM stages. circSCP2 knockdown inhibited CRC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, circSCP2 sponged miR-92a-1-5p to increase insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) expression.

This study investigates the effects of taurine and homocysteine on PPARγ, focusing on their roles in osteoclastogenesis and bone health. In-silico analyses, including molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulations, revealed that both taurine and homocysteine bind competitively to the PPARγ ligand-binding domain, exhibiting distinctive antagonistic modes, including destabilization of PPARγ's key helices H3, H4/5, H11, and H12. In-vitro experiments further supported these results, demonstrating that taurine protects against oxidative damage, enhances bone mineralization, and reduces the expression levels of PPARγ, while also downregulating negative regulators of the Wnt signaling pathway, such as SOST and DKK1. Homocysteine, on the other hand, was observed to increase the expression of these regulators and impair bone formation. Vitamin B12 was included in the study due to its known role in mitigating hyperhomocysteinemia, a condition linked to impaired bone health and reduced taurine levels. While vitamin B12 alone demonstrated some beneficial effects, it did not achieve the same level of efficacy as taurine. However, a combination of taurine and vitamin B12 showed greater efficacy in ameliorating hyperhomocysteinemia-induced osteoporosis.
