Article Abstract

The initiation of atopic dermatitis (AD) typically happens very early in life, but most of our understanding of AD is derived from studies on AD patients in adult. The aim of the present study was to identify gene signature speficic to pediatric AD comapred with adult AD. The gene expression profiles of four datasets (GSE32924, GSE36842, GSE58558, and GSE107361) were downloaded from the GEO database. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed by Cytoscape software. Total 654 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (394 up-regulated and 260 down-regulated) were identified in pediatric AD samples with adult AD samples as control. The up-regulated DEGs were significantly enriched in the migration and chemotaxis of granulocyte and neutrophil, while down-regulated DEGs were significantly enriched in biological adhesion. KEGG pathway analysis showed that up-regulated DEGs participated in chemokine signaling pathway while down-regulated DEGs participated in adherens junction, focal adhesion, and regulation of actin cytoskeleton. The top 10 hub genes GAPDH, EGFR, ACTB, ESR1, CDK1, CXCL8, CD44, KRAS, PTGS2, and SMC3 were involved in chemokine signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, interleukin-17 signaling pathway, and regulation of actin cytoskeleton. In conclusion, we identified DEGs and hub genes involved in pediatric AD, which might be used as therapeutic targets and diagnostic biomarkers for pediatric AD.

Despite the promise of electrochemical biosensors in amplified nucleic acid diagnostics, existing high-sensitivity platforms often rely on a multilayer surface assembly and cascade amplification confined to the electrode interface. These stepwise strategies suffer from inefficient enzyme activity, poor mass transport, and inconsistent probe orientation, which compromise the amplification efficiency, reproducibility, and practical applicability. To address these limitations, we report a programmable dual-phase electrochemical biosensing system that decouples amplification from signal transduction.

Plant thermomorphogenesis is a critical adaptive response to elevated ambient temperatures. The transcription factor PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4) integrates diverse environmental and phytohormone signals to coordinate thermoresponsive growth. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying plant thermomorphogenic growth remain poorly understood.

20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 can reduce the effects of oxidative stress and cell death in cerebral ischemia‒reperfusion injury (CIRI). Neuroinflammation is crucial post-CIRI, but how 20(R)-Rg3 affects ischemia‒reperfusion-induced neuroinflammation is unclear. To study 20(R)-Rg3's effects on neuroinflammation and neuronal preservation in stroke models and explore toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor-88/nuclear factor kappa B (TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB) pathway mechanisms.

RNA cap formation on RNA polymerase II transcripts is regulated by cellular signalling pathways during development and differentiation, adaptive and innate immune responses, during the cell cycle and in response to oncogene deregulation. Here, we discuss how the RNA cap methyltransferase, RNA guanine-7 methyltransferase (RNMT), functions to complete the 7-methyl-guanosine or m7G cap. The mechanisms by which RNMT is regulated by signalling pathways, co-factors and other enzymes are explored.

The prevalence of AGA is continuously rising, with an earlier age of onset. Currently, only minoxidil and finasteride have received FDA approval for the treatment of AGA, inadequately addressing the pressing clinical needs. Recently, the involvement of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in AGA has attracted increased research interest.
