ZBTB7A overexpressed in many human cancers is a major oncogenic driver. ZBTB7A promotes tumorigenesis by regulating transcription of the genes involved in cell survival and proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration/metastasis. One unresolved issue is the mechanism underlying the aberrant overexpression of ZBTB7A in cancer cells. Interestingly, inhibition of HSP90 decreased ZBTB7A expression in a variety of human cancer cells. ZBTB7A interacts with and is stabilized by HSP90. Inhibition of HSP90 by 17-AAG resulted in p53-dependent proteolysis of ZBTB7A via increased p53 expression and upregulation of the CUL3-dependent E3 ubiquitin ligase, KLHL20. Down-regulation of ZBTB7A resulted in the derepression of a major negative regulator of cell cycle progression, p21/CDKN1A. We discovered a new function of p53 regulating ZBTB7A expression through KLHL20-E3 ligase and proteasomal protein degradation system.

Developmental stuttering is a common childhood condition characterized by disfluencies in speech, such as blocks, prolongations, and repetitions. While most children who stutter do so only transiently, there are some for whom stuttering persists into adulthood. Rare-variant screens in families including multiple relatives with persistent stuttering have so far identified six genes carrying putative pathogenic variants hypothesized to act in a monogenic fashion.

Introduction: Skeletal muscle possesses a significant regenerative capacity, which is largely mediated by myogenic satellite stem cells. MicroRNAs are known regulators of muscle development. miR-182-5p plays important roles in cell proliferation and migration in various cell types and pathologies.

Background: Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are the most common craniofacial birth defects, affecting 1 in 700 births, and have a strong genetic basis with a high recurrence risk within families.
Aims: While many of the previous studies have associated common, noncoding genetic loci with OFCs, previous studies on de novo variants (DNVs) in OFC cases have focused on coding variants that could have a functional impact on protein structure, and the contribution of noncoding DNVs to the formation of OFCs has largely been ignored and is not well understood.
Materials And Methods: We reanalyzed an existing dataset of DNVs from 1409 trios with OFCs that had undergone targeted sequencing of known OFC-associated loci.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is highly malignant with a poor prognosis. Exploring new therapeutic targets in GBM is an effective strategy for the prognosis of GBM patients. The Transmembrane emp24 domain-containing protein 3 (TMED3) gene has been found to play a role in the development of various cancers, but its mechanism in GBM remains unclear.

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a chronic disease due to nerve injury, viral infections, etc. Inflammatory factors are a key part of its pathological mechanism, and NLRP3 has been widely studied in other diseases; however, its study in NP is still scarce. We analyzed genes differentially expressed in NP and normal samples using public databases.
