Article Abstract

Our study aimed to investigate key molecular targets in the pathogenesis of AMI, and provide new strategy for the treatment. In this work, the myocardial ischemia and hypoxia model was constructed by using HL-1 mouse cardiomyocytes. The over-expressing POSTN wild-type, mutant and negative control lentiviruses (GV492-POSTNWT,GV492-POSTN-MUT, GV492-NC) was conducted and transfected. Cardiomyocytes were examined for cell proliferation and apoptosis to explore the effects of POSTN and its alternative splicing. The endoplasmic reticulum stess-related apoptosis proteins were selected and detected. We found that POSTN could promote the proliferation of normal and hypoxic cardiomyocytes and inhibit their apoptosis. The mechanism by which POSTN inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis may be through inhibiting the GRP78-eIF2α-ATF4-CHOP pathway of endoplasmic reticulum stress. Alternative splicing of POSTN could inhibit the apoptosis of ischemic and hypoxic cardiomyocytes, and its mechanism needs to be confirmed by further studies. We drawed the conclusion that POSTN might be a potential therapeutic target for AMI.

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.

Dysfunction of several WD40 family proteins causes diverse endocrine diseases. Until recently, MEP50, a WD40 protein, was considered a Gene of Unknown Significance (GUS) because no inherited diseases had been linked to its function. However, genetic inactivation of MEP50 in mouse models or somatic mutations in humans drive oncogenesis in several endocrine-related cancers, including those of the prostate, breast, and uterus.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and the complex molecular mechanisms underlying its development, particularly the role of alternative splicing (AS) in different subtypes, remain poorly understood. In this study, we performed RNA sequencing of 178 lung cancer patients and conducted a comprehensive analysis of the transcriptomic landscape with a focus on AS. We identified robust lung cancer- and subtype-specific AS biomarkers that were consistently effective in both tissue samples and cancer cell lines.

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness, atrophy and myotonia, with multi-system involvement. Recent studies have highlighted the pathological heterogeneity within the CNS of DM1 patients, particularly significant changes in spinal transcriptome expression and alternative splicing. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive transcriptome analysis of the spinal cord in the muscle-specific DM1 mouse model and their wild-type controls across different life stages: young, adult and old age.
