Article Abstract

We describe methods to identify high and low responders in a whole-blood assay of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cytokine responses. Two multivariate measures of the cytokine responses both captured high and low responses for each of the four individual cytokines that were assayed.

The complex interplay between circulating metabolites and immune responses, which is pivotal to disease pathophysiology, remains poorly understood and understudied in systematic research. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis of the immune response and circulating metabolome in two Western European cohorts (534 and 324 healthy individuals) and one from sub-Saharan Africa (323 healthy donors). At the metabolic level, our analysis revealed sex-specific differences in the correlation between phosphatidylcholine and cytokine responses following ex vivo stimulation.

Cancer-associated muscle wasting is associated with poor clinical outcomes, but its underlying biology is largely uncharted in humans. Unbiased analysis of the RNAome (coding and non-coding RNAs) with unsupervised clustering using integrative non-negative matrix factorization provides a means of identifying distinct molecular subtypes and was applied here to muscle of patients with colorectal or pancreatic cancer. Rectus abdominis biopsies from 84 patients were profiled using high-throughput next-generation sequencing.

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) represents approximately 50 % of all chronic kidney disease cases. Given the established involvement of USP22 in DN progression, this study investigated its underlying regulatory mechanisms.

Methods: Mouse podocytes were treated with high glucose (HG), and a diabetic mouse model was established.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe health issue characterized by high morbidity and mortality, driven by excessive inflammatory responses. The traditional Chinese medicine Huashi Baidu Granules (HBG) demonstrated clinical efficacy in treating severe ALI, yet its mechanisms remain unclear.

Aim Of The Study: This research aimed to examine the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of HBG in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI model, identify core herbal constituents, active compounds, and therapeutic targets, providing a foundation for optimizing HBG-based treatments.

In this edition of Gene's "Editor's Corner" we summarize the complex interactions of different molecular mechanisms behind the pathogenesis of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The topic is relevant, as the therapeutic options for HIE are limited, it is important to have as much knowledge as possible about the molecular processes underlying the disease. In the recent issue of Gene (Gene 952, 2025, 149363), Wang et al.
