Bone metastasis (BM) is a major contributor to poor prognosis of prostate cancer (PCa); however, the underlying mechanisms of PCa BM remain poorly understood. A better understanding of these processes may provide critical insights for developing effective preventive and therapeutic strategies for PCa BM. In this study, significant upregulation of CCDC183-AS1 in PCa BM is identified, which is associated with disease progression.

Virtual try-on technology seeks to seamlessly integrate an image of a specified garment onto the target person, generating a synthesized image that realistically depicts the person wearing the clothing. Existing methods based on generative adversarial network (GAN) for clothing warping in the generation process usually use human pose- and body parsing-based features to guide the distortion of a flattened clothing item. However, it is hard using these approaches to accurately capture the spatial characteristics of the distorted clothing (e.

Background: The vesicular nucleotide transporter Solute Carrier Family 17 Member 9 (SLC17A9) has recently been recognized as a significant modulator of oncogenic pathways, with its elevated expression levels being closely linked to the aggressiveness of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). A comprehensive understanding of the role of SLC17A9 and its associated protein markers presents substantial potential for the advancement of targeted therapeutic interventions.

Methods: Our study commenced with a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis to identify differentially expressed genes potentially associated with ccRCC.

Aggressive behaviors are one of the most important negative behaviors that seriously endangers human health. Also, the central para-inflammation of microglia triggered by stress can affect neurological function, plasticity, and behavior. NLRP3 integrates stress-related signals and is a key driver of this neural para-inflammation.

Background: PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs originally reported in the reproductive system of mammals and later found to be aberrantly expressed in tumors. However, the function and mechanism of piRNAs in testicular cancer are not very clear.

Methods: The expression level and distribution of piR-36249 were detected by RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence staining assay.

Article Synopsis
  • Nodular goiter is becoming more common, raising concerns due to its potential progression to thyroid cancer, which has led to increased interest in its treatment.
  • This review summarizes how Chinese medicine (CM) works against nodular goiter by targeting multiple pathways, including the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis, oxidative stress, and cell processes like proliferation and apoptosis.
  • The findings support the use of CM for treating nodular goiter, but more research is needed to uncover additional genes and pathways for improved treatment strategies.

Objectives: Radix ranunculi ternati (RRT) is widely used as traditional and folk medicine distributed in China, as well as in Kyushu and Shikoku in Japan. Although RRT has a short history of use as medicine, it has a high medicinal value. This study summarizes the research progress on the chemical constituents, pharmacological activity, quality control measures and clinical applications to provide a valuable and exhaustive reference for the development and application of RRT.

It is known that the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) MALAT1 is associated with tumorigenesis and progression in various cancers; however, its functions and mechanisms in prostate cancer (PCa) initiation and progression are still unknown. In the present study, our findings revealed that MALAT1 plays a critical part in regulating PCa proliferation and glucose metabolism. Knockdown of MALAT1 affects the protein and mRNA levels of MYBL2.

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) is nuclear-located and transcribed from chromatin 11. To date, little is known about the cellular functions and regulatory mechanisms of NEAT1 in prostate cancer (PCa). In this study, whole-genome RNA sequencing data were downloaded from TCGA and GEO databases.

Neuroinflammatory response is the immune response mechanism of the innate immune system of the central nervous system. Both primary and secondary injury can activate neuroinflammatory response. Among them, the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome plays a key role in the inflammatory response of the central system.
