Article Abstract
Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy is a typical autoimmune disease of orbital tissues. Alternative splicing significantly influences many diseases progression, including cancer, age-related macular degeneration, and multiple sclerosis, by modulating the expression of transcripts. However, its role in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy is still unclear. In this study, differential expression transcripts and differential alternative splicing genes in orbital adipose/connective tissues of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy patients were detected using RNA sequencing, Cuffdiff, and replicate multivariate analysis of transcript splicing. Three thousand ninety six differential expression transcripts and 2355 differential alternative splicing genes were screened out, while functional enrichment analysis indicated that differential expression transcript and differential alternative splicing genes were associated with immune modulation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and adipogenesis. The expression of the , , , and gene transcripts was verified by qRT-PCR. In conclusion, prevalent alternative splicing is involved in the disease development in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. More attention should be paid to the mechanism of alternative splicing to explore more potential therapeutic targets in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.

Nuclear paxillin functions as a molecular switch for alternative splicing in neurons during a critical period of brain development.

During a critical period of postnatal brain development, neural circuits undergo significant refinement coincident with widespread alternative splicing of hundreds of genes, which undergo altered splice site selection for the generation of isoforms essential for synaptic plasticity. Here, we reveal that neuronal activity-dependent phosphorylation of paxillin at its serine 119 (p-paxillin) acts as a molecular switch in the nucleus for the control of alternative splicing during this period. We show that following NMDA receptor activation, nuclear p-paxillin is recruited to nuclear speckles, where it interacts with splicing factors, such as U2AFs.

The RbFox RNA binding proteins regulate alternative splicing of genes governing mammalian development and organ function. They bind to the RNA sequence (U)GCAUG with high affinity but also non-canonical secondary motifs in a concentration dependent manner. However, the hierarchical requirement of RbFox motifs, which are widespread in the genome, is still unclear.

Inhibition of cuproptosis contributes to the development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The expression of RNA-binding motif protein 15 (RBM15) is upregulated in NSCLC. Nonetheless, its relationship with cuproptosis remains unclear.

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the principal malignancies threatening human health, and the development of castration resistance often constitutes a major cause of treatment failure in its management.
Methods: To elucidate the potential association between programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and castration resistance in prostate cancer, we analyzed the expression levels of PD-L1 in both primary prostate cancer tissues and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) specimens as well as in corresponding cell lines by using western blots and immunohistochemistry. Then, we explored the specific mechanisms through transcriptomic sequencing technology.

Skeletal muscle atrophy and weakness are major contributors to morbidity, prolonged recovery, and long-term disability across a wide range of diseases. Atrophy is caused by breakdown of sarcomeric proteins resulting in loss of muscle mass and strength. Molecular mechanism underlying the onset of muscle atrophy and its progression have been analysed in patients, mice, and cell culture but the complementarity of these model systems remains to be explored.
