Article Abstract

Adducin 1 (Add1) is known as a membrane cytoskeletal protein, but its nuclear function remains unclear. In this study, we generated -deficient zebrafish to investigate its role in hematopoiesis. Lack of impaired both primitive and definitive hematopoiesis, preventing healthy erythrocyte development. RNA sequencing revealed activation of the p53 pathway in -depleted erythroblast cells, leading to apoptosis at the 14-somites stage and 24 hpf. Interestingly, partial rescue of the anemic phenotype and apoptosis was observed with insufficiency. Mechanistically, ADD1 was found to regulate promoter activity. These findings demonstrate that Add1 plays a crucial role in zebrafish erythropoiesis, involving the p53-mediated apoptotic pathway, expanding its regulatory role beyond cytoskeletal functions.

Background: Sarcomas are rare cancer with a heterogeneous group of tumors. They affect both genders across all age groups and present significant heterogeneity, with more than 70 histological subtypes. Despite tailored treatments, the high metastatic potential of sarcomas remains a major factor in poor patient survival, as metastasis is often the leading cause of death.

The MET receptor tyrosine kinase is a pivotal regulator of cellular survival, motility, and proliferation. Mutations leading to skipping of exon 14 (METΔex14) within the juxtamembrane domain of MET impair receptor degradation and prolong oncogenic signaling, contributing significantly to tumor progression across multiple cancer types. METΔex14 mutations are associated with aggressive clinical behavior, therapeutic resistance, and poor outcomes.

BACKGROUND This study reports on 2 cases of cervical melanoma with similar presentations but at different stages, and the treatment strategy varied accordingly, and we review the literature on the characteristics, diagnosis, and management of cervical melanoma. CASE REPORT Case 1: A 69-year-old woman with abnormal vaginal bleeding was diagnosed with advanced cervical melanoma, staged as International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Stage IVB, involving multiple metastases. Despite chemoradiotherapy and immunotherapy (nivolumab), the disease progressed rapidly, and the patient died 4 months after diagnosis.

Pericardial effusion (PCE) represents a significant postoperative complication following congenital heart surgery (CHS), contributing to more complex postoperative care and heightened morbidity. In this study, we aim to elucidate the risk factors contributing to PCE development post-CHS through analysis of data from a nationwide, multi-institutional database. Review of the Pediatric Health Information System Database from January 1, 2004, to December 30, 2023.

All organisms are exposed to various stressors, which can sometimes lead to organismal death, depending on their intensity. While stress-induced organismal death has been observed in many species, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms of stress-induced organismal death in the fruit fly .
