Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is one of the most frequent occurring types of leukemia. It typically occurs in elderly patients and has a highly variable clinical course. At present, the molecular mechanism driving the pathogenesis and progression of CLL is not fully understood. The protein Synaptotagmin 7 (SYT7) encoded by the SYT7 gene has been found to be closely related to the development of various solid tumors, but its role in CLL is unclear. In this study, we investigated the function and molecular mechanism of SYT7 in CLL.
Methods: The expression level of SYT7 in CLL was determined by immunohistochemical staining and qPCR. The role of SYT7 in promoting CLL development was verified by in vivo and in vitro experiments. The molecular mechanism of SYT7 in CLL was elucidated by methods such as GeneChip analysis and Co-immunoprecipitation assay.
Results: Malignant behaviors such as proliferation, migration, and anti-apoptosis of CLL cells were significantly inhibited after SYT7 gene knockdown. In contrast, SYT7 overexpression promoted CLL development in vitro. Consistently, the knockdown of SYT7 also inhibited xenograft tumor growth of CLL cells. Mechanistically, SYT7 promoted CLL development by inhibiting SYVN1-mediated KNTC1 ubiquitination. The KNTC1 knockdown also attenuated the effects of SYT7 overexpression on development of CLL.
Conclusions: SYT7 regulates the progression of CLL through SYVN1-mediated KNTC1 ubiquitination, which has potential value for molecular targeted therapy of CLL.

(Mtb) is an intracellular pathogen that can be sensed by T cells, which are essential for the control of infection. In comparison to viral infections, Mtb antigens are relatively rare and hence, challenging to sample. Specialized antigen presentation pathways enable the presentation of such scarce antigens to CD8 T cells, which are, thus, uniquely poised to survey intracellular environments.

Background: LINC00652 plays pivotal roles in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) a heterogeneous hematological malignancy. Here, we investigated the potential regulatory mechanisms of LINC00652 in ALL.
Research Design And Methods: Genome-wide association study data for LINC00652 were obtained for Mendelian randomization and integrated with RNA sequencing data, Bioinformatics analyses, including weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), Spearman or Pearson correlation analysis, function, immune microenvironment, subcellular localization, and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network construction, were employed explore the potential mechanisms of LINC00652 in ALL.

TDP-43 pathology is a defining feature of Limbic-Predominant Age-Related TDP-43 Encephalopathy neuropathologic change (LATE-NC) and is frequently comorbid with Alzheimer's disease neuropathologic change (ADNC). However, the molecular consequences of co-occurring LATE-NC and ADNC pathology (TDP-43, β-amyloid, and tau protein pathologies) remain unclear. Here, we conducted a comparative biochemical, molecular, and proteomic analysis of hippocampal tissue from 90 individuals spanning control, LATE-NC, ADNC, and ADNC+LATE-NC groups to assess the impact of cryptic exon (CE) inclusion, phosphorylated TDP-43 pathology (pTDP-43), and AD-related pathologies (β-amyloid, and tau) on the proteome.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a special histological and ethical type of head and neck cancer with unsatisfactory clinical outcome. Thus, exploring effective molecular targets is critical for NPC treatment. We observed increased expression levels of synaptotagmin-7 (SYT7) in NPC tissues, which correlated with unfavorable prognoses.

Synaptotagmin-7 (Syt7) KO mice show diurnal fluctuations of mania- and depression-like behavioral abnormalities. Although GluN2B-NMDAR hypoactivity has been shown to be involved in the induction of mania-like behaviors of the Syt7 KO mice in the dark phase, the reasons for the depression-like behaviors in the light phase and behavioral fluctuation remain unknown. Here, we show that bipolar I disorder (BDI)-patient-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived islet-like organoids exhibited Syt7-dependent insulin secretion defects; moreover, Syt7-deficiency-induced insulin hyposecretion generated depression-like behaviors in Syt7 KO mice in the light phase.
