Molecular characteristics of human adenovirus isolated from the 2024 influenza-like illness outbreaks in Suzhou City, China.

Background: Human adenoviruses (HAdV) comprises a genetically diverse group of double-stranded DNA viruses strongly associated with influenza-like illness (ILI) and acute respiratory illnesses (ARI) outbreaks. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular characteristics of HAdV implicated during ILI outbreaks in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province in 2024.

Methods: Throat swab samples were gathered from settings with ILI outbreaks in Suzhou between March 2024 and January 2025.

Myristoylation-mediated phase separation of EZH2 compartmentalizes STAT3 to promote lung cancer growth.

N-myristoylation is a crucial signaling and pathogenic modification process that confers hydrophobicity to cytosolic proteins. Although different large-scale approaches have been applied, a large proportion of myristoylated proteins remain to be identified. EZH2 is overexpressed in lung cancer cells and exerts oncogenic effects via its intrinsic methyltransferase activity.

Antiangiogenic effect of arsenic trioxide in HUVECs by FoxO3a-regulated autophagy.

Arsenic trioxide (ATO) has been shown to have antitumor effect in different tumors, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Autophagy plays a critical role in tumorigenesis and cancer therapy and has been found to be activated by ATO in different cells. However, the role of autophagy in the antitumor effect of ATO has not yet been elucidated.

PTEN-knockdown disrupts the morphology, growth pattern and function of Nthy-Ori 3-1 cells by downregulating PAX8 expression.

The incidence of thyroid disorders, which are common endocrine diseases, has rapidly increased in recent years. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of these disorders remain unclear. Phosphatase and tension homolog (PTEN) is a dual-specific phosphatase that is associated with multiple thyroid disorders; however, the role of PTEN in thyroid disorders remains unknown.
