Article Abstract
Objective: Whole human genome oligo microarrays were employed to systematically investigate the mRNA expression profile of 5-HT synthetase, transporter, receptor, and factors in 5-HT signaling pathway in peripheral blood karyocytes from pulmonary embolism (PE) patients.
Methods: A total of 20 PE patients and 20 healthy subjects matched in gender and age were recruited. The human genome microarrays were performed to detect the mRNA expression profile of 5-HT synthetase, transporter, receptor, and factors in 5-HT signal pathway of two groups. The random variance model corrected t-test was used for analysis.
Results: Our results showed (1) tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH1)-related gene expression was markedly down-regulated in PE patients (P < 0.01); (2) monoamine oxidases (MAO)-related gene (MAOB) expression was significantly up-regulated in PE patients (P < 0.01); (3) the expression of 17 genes of 7 5-HT receptors showed a down-regulated tendency in PE patients, and significant difference was observed in the expression of HTR1E, HTR3B, HTR4 and HTR5A between them (P < 0.05); (4) the expression of DalDAG-GEF I, Tubby, PKA and EPAC in 5-HT signal pathways was dramatically up-regulated in PE patients (P < 0.05); the expression of SPA1, RIAM, RAPL, Talin, PKC, PLC and Pyk2 was remarkably up-regulated in PE patients (P < 0.05); (5) the expression of integrin genes ITGA2B, ITGB1 and ITGB3 was significantly up-regulated in PE patients (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: In PE patients, the expression of TPH1 and HTR4 was down-regulated as a negative feedback; the MAOB expression was up-regulated. Consistent with the expression of 5-HTR1E and 5-HTR4 and the abnormally activated Tubby, the expression of integrins in platelets was activated.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Wenzhou TCM Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Wenzhou, China.
The purpose of this study was to investigate potential therapeutic targets for osteosarcoma (OS) and offer hints regarding genetic factors for OS treatment using a bioinformatics method. This study processed 3 OS datasets from the gene expression omnibus database using R software, screening for differentially expressed genes (DEGs). After enrichment analysis, based on expression quantitative trait loci data and the genome-wide association study data of OS, Mendelian randomization analysis was used to screen the genes closely related to OS disease, which intersect with DEGs to obtain co-expressed genes, validation datasets were employed to verify the results.

Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Molecular Biology for Skin Diseases and STIs, Hospital of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Nanjing, 210042, People's Republic of China.
Background: Vitiligo is an acquired depigmentary disorder caused by the loss of functional melanocytes. Increasing evidence suggests that competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) interactions participate in this process, yet their global architecture in vitiligo remains unclear.
Objective: To delineate a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-microRNA (miRNA)-mRNA ceRNA network associated with vitiligo and to identify blood-borne RNA markers with diagnostic potential.
Pathogenic glycosyltransferase genes and potential therapeutic drugs in pressure overload-induced heart failure.

Department of Cardiology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.
Aims: Protein glycosylation regulated by glycosyltransferases is an important type of post-translational modification. The role of the glycosyltransferase genes (GTGs) in heart failure (HF) remains unclear and requires further investigation.
Methods: Differential expression analysis was performed on the transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-related dataset GSE36074 to screen out the differentially expressed GTGs.
