Metabolic reprogramming refers to the transformation of the whole metabolic network covering glycolysis and mitochondrial metabolism, which is primarily manifested as the Warburg effect and mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming. Propofol (Pro) has been testified to suppress the malignancy of diversified human cancers. Nevertheless, its role in glycolysis is still uncertain. The purpose of this study was to determine whether Pro modulated glycolysis in ovarian cancer (OC) cells. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were tested via CCK-8, flow cytometry, and Transwell assays, respectively, and glucose intake, lactic acid, and ATP production were also determined. Pro restrained glycolysis via mediating the circular RNA-zinc finger RNA-binding protein (ZFR)/microRNA (miR)-212-5p/superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) axis. Additionally, Pro restrained cancer cell advancement via modulating circ-ZFR/miR-212-5p/SOD2 axis. In short, Pro restrained glycolysis via mediating the circ-ZFR/miR-212-5p/SOD2 axis. These results offered a better theoretical foundation for comprehending the molecular pathology of OC and provided a novel target for OC diagnosis and treatment.

Objectives: Proteasomes, multi-subunit proteases, are key actors of cellular protein catabolism and a number of regulatory processes. The detection of subtle proteasome functioning in tumors may contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms of cancer development. The current study aimed to identify the role of low molecular mass protein 2 (LMP2), a proteasome immune subunit, in the development of mouse colon 26 (C26) adenocarcinoma.

Background: After spinal cord injury (SCI), pro-inflammatory microglia accumulate and impede axonal regeneration. We explored whether secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (Sparc) restrains microglial inflammation and fosters neurite outgrowth.
Methods: Mouse microglial BV2 cells were polarized to a pro-inflammatory phenotype with lipopolysaccharides (LPSs).

Ferroptosis is a novel type of programmed cell death caused by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Targeted induction of ferroptosis holds great promise for cancer treatment. SNHG, a newly recognized lncRNA family, has been reported to implicate in the proliferation, invasion, migration or drug resistance of cancer cells.

Preclinical models are essential for understanding the pathophysiology of intermittent explosive disorder (IED) in rodents. However, current models fail to fully uncover the molecular mechanisms behind restraint stress-induced aggression. We introduced a restrainer combined with a biting rod to measure IED-associated symptoms in stressed rats.

Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) remains one of the most lethal malignancies with limited early diagnostic and therapeutic options. Although receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) is an evolutionarily conserved scaffold protein, its functional role and mechanistic involvement in PDA pathogenesis remain elusive.
Methods: Using multimodal approaches including: (1) genetically engineered mouse models of pancreatitis and carcinogenesis, (2) patient-derived PDA tissues with matched normal specimens, (3) primary acinar cell 3D cultures, and (4) orthogonal gain/loss-of-function assays in PDA cell lines, we systematically investigated RACK1's spatiotemporal expression patterns and functional impacts.
