Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) underwent transfection and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD).

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis confirmed the three genes' good diagnostic efficacy. The nomogram integrating these genes, globulin (GLOB), diabetes, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and hypertension performed excellently.

Genetic, molecular, and cellular factors, including oxidative stress, inflammation, neurotransmitter alterations, and amyloid β (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), are associated with the disease. These can be associated with protein and DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, energy shortages, inflammation, and hippocampal neuron death. Circular non-coding RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed and essential to many physiological and pathological processes. CircRNA may be a molecular modulator of neurodegeneration, as it may influence protein transcription and interaction with essential RNA-binding proteins (RBP) in the cortical and hippocampal regions, particularly in photoreceptor neurons and white matter.Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 mRNA-Binding Protein 3. (IGF2BP3), which belongs totheinsulin-like growth factor 2 encoded mRNA-binding protein family, affects neuronal differentiation, synaptic plasticity, translation, localization, mRNA stability, and neurogenesis. Research indicates that IGF2BP3 has been reported to modulate neuron survival and function genes, as well as BACE1 translation, which creates Aβ.

We identified ultra-rare, predicted loss-of-function MELK variants in ASD individuals, prompting this functional investigation. Published human single-cell transcriptomics showed that MELK expression is enriched in neural progenitors and correlates with the G2/M phase. Using in utero electroporation in mouse cortex, we found that Melk knockdown reduced the proportion of progenitors in G2/M phase. Knockdown also caused impaired multipolar-to-bipolar transition and shorter leading processes. Complementing these findings, transcriptomic analysis of FACS-sorted Melk-knockdown cortical cells revealed downregulation of G2/M-related genes and cytoskeletal regulators linked to neuronal morphogenesis. Together, these findings identify MELK as a critical regulator of both G2/M phase progression and neuronal morphogenesis during cortical development, providing a mechanistic link to neurodevelopmental conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":9742,"journal":{"name":"Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147670840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
