However, since little is known about the underlying etiology, additional in vitro studies are crucial to defining the underlying molecular mechanisms. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of HCM associated with a polymorphic variant (D389V) in <i>MYBPC3</i> by using isogenic human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiac organoids (hCOs). The hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) and hCOs were generated from human subjects to define the molecular, cellular, functional, and energetic changes caused by the <i>MYBPC3</i><sup>D389V</sup> variant, which is associated with increased fractional shortening and highly prevalent in South Asian descendants. Recombinant C0-C2, N' region of cMyBP-C (wild-type and D389V), and myosin S2 proteins were also utilized to perform binding and motility assays in vitro. Confocal and electron microscopic analyses of hCOs generated from noncarriers (NC) and carriers of the <i>MYBPC3</i><sup>D389V</sup> variant revealed the presence of highly organized sarcomeres. Furthermore, functional experiments showed hypercontractility, faster calcium cycling, and faster contractile kinetics in hCOs expressing <i>MYBPC3</i><sup>D389V</sup> than NC hCOs. Interestingly, significantly increased cMyBP-C phosphorylation in <i>MYBPC3</i><sup>D389V</sup> hCOs was observed, but without changes in total protein levels, in addition to higher oxidative stress and lower mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). Next, spatial mapping revealed the presence of endothelial cells, fibroblasts, macrophages, immune cells, and cardiomyocytes in the hCOs. The hypercontractile function was significantly improved after the treatment of the myosin inhibitor mavacamten (CAMZYOS<sup>®</sup>) in <i>MYBPC3</i><sup>D389V</sup> hCOs. Lastly, various vitro binding assays revealed a significant loss of affinity in the presence of <i>MYBPC3</i><sup>D389V</sup> with myosin S2 region as a likely mechanism for hypercontraction.

The sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway is indispensable for the normal development of the cerebellum, and MB is often caused by persistent SHH activation owing to mutations in pathway components. Patched1 (<i>PTCH1</i>) is the primary receptor for the SHH ligand and a negative regulator of the SHH signal transduction pathway. Mice heterozygous for the <i>Ptch1</i> gene (<i>Ptch1</i><sup>+/-</sup>) are predisposed to MB development.

A genetic background carrying the <i>Ptch1</i> mutation significantly influences the risk of developing MB. This study aims to investigate the genetic background-related mechanisms that regulate radiation-induced cellular response and oncogenesis in the cerebellum. We employed multiple approaches, including: (a) analysis of cellular radiosensitivity in granule cell precursors (GCPs), the MB cells of origin, derived from <i>Ptch1</i> mice with a genetic background that is sensitive (CD1) or resistant (C57Bl/6) to the induction of radiogenic MB; (b) identification of genes differentially expressed in spontaneous and radiation-induced MBs from these two mouse strains; (c) bioinformatic analysis to correlate the expression of radiation-induced genes with survival in MB patients; and (d) examining the expression of these genes in ex vivo MBs induced by single or repeated radiation doses.

In ex vivo cultured spontaneous MBs, the expression levels of these genes increase after irradiation in CD1 mice, but not in mice with a C57Bl/6 genetic background, suggesting that this signature could predict tumor response to radiation therapy and help develop strategies for targeting DNA damage repair in tumors.

Although a few disease-modifying treatments, such as lecanemab and donanemab, have been developed, current therapies can only delay disease progression rather than halt it entirely. Therefore, the early detection of MCI and the identification of MCI patients at high risk of progression to AD remain urgent unmet needs in the super-aged era. This study utilized transcriptomics data from cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals, MCI, and AD patients in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort and leveraged machine learning models to identify biomarkers that differentiate MCI from CU and also distinguish AD from MCI individuals. Furthermore, Cox proportional hazards analysis was conducted to identify biomarkers predictive of the progression from MCI to AD. Our machine learning models identified a unique set of gene expression profiles capable of achieving an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.98 in distinguishing those with MCI from CU individuals. A subset of these biomarkers was also found to be significantly associated with the risk of progression from MCI to AD. A linear mixed model demonstrated that plasma tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (pTau181) and neurofilament light chain (NFL) exhibit the prognostic value in predicting cognitive decline longitudinally. These findings underscore the potential of integrating machine learning (ML) with transcriptomic profiling in the early detection and prognostication of AD. This integrated approach could facilitate the development of novel diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies aimed at delaying or preventing the onset of AD in at-risk individuals. Future studies should focus on validating these biomarkers in larger, independent cohorts and further investigating their roles in AD pathogenesis.</p>","PeriodicalId":9743,"journal":{"name":"Cells","volume":"13 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142726414","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}

After 14 days of smg, the osteopotential and osteodifferentiation of bone marrow stromal progenitor cells, the expression of Hippo cascade genes and the immunocytochemical status of the adherent fraction of bone marrow cells, as well as the paracrine profile in the conditioned medium and the localization of Yap1 and Runx2 in mechanosensitive cells of the bone marrow were obtained. Simulated microgravity negatively affects stromal and hematopoietic cells when interacting in a heterotypic murine bone marrow cell culture. This is evidenced by the decrease in cell proliferation and osteopotential. Changes in the production of pleiotropic cytokines IL-6, GROβ and MCP-1 were revealed. Fourteen days of simulated microgravity induced a decrease in the nuclear translocation of Yap1 and the transcription factor Runx2 in the stromal cells of the intact group.

In T1D, autoimmune destruction of beta cells results in insulin deficiency, which in turn may dysregulate alpha cell function, leading to elevated glucagon levels and impaired glucose homeostasis. This dysfunction is characterized by inappropriate glucagon secretion, augmenting the risk of life-threatening hypoglycemia. Moreover, insulin deficiency and autoimmunity alter alpha cell physiological responses, further exacerbating T1D pathophysiology. Recent studies suggest that alpha cells undergo transdifferentiation and interact with beta cells through mechanisms involving gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) signaling. Despite these advances, the exact pathways and interactions remain poorly understood and are often debated. Understanding the precise role of alpha cells in T1D is crucial, as it opens up avenues for developing new therapeutic strategies for T1D. Potential strategies include targeting alpha cells to normalize glucagon secretion, utilizing glucagon receptor antagonists, enhancing GABA signaling, and employing glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists.

Recent emergence of competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks has highlighted how long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRs), and mRNA orchestrate a complex interplay meticulously modulating mRNA functionality. Focusing on TNBC, this study aimed to construct a ceRNA network using differentially expressed lncRNAs, miRs, and mRNAs. We queried the differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) between TNBC and luminal samples and found 389 upregulated and 386 downregulated lncRNAs, including novel transcripts in TNBC. DElncRNAs were further evaluated for their clinical, functional, and mechanistic relevance to TNBCs using the lnc2cancer 3.0 database, which presented LUCAT1 (lung cancer-associated transcript 1) as a putative node. Next, the ceRNA network (lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA) of LUCAT1 was established. Several miRNA-mRNA connections of LUCAT1 implicated in regulating stemness (LUCAT1-miR-375-Yap1, LUCAT1-miR181-5p-Wnt, LUCAT1-miR-199a-5p-ZEB1), apoptosis (LUCAT1-miR-181c-5p-Bcl2), drug efflux (LUCAT1-miR-200c-ABCB1, LRP1, MRP5, MDR1), and sheddase activities (LUCAT1-miR-493-5p-ADAM10) were identified, indicating an intricate regulatory mechanism of LUCAT1 in TNBC.
