Article Abstract
Background: Endometriosis is a common and complex syndrome characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Chinese medicine has been recently found to show good efficacy in treating endometriosis. Our previous results revealed that Maqian fruit essential oil (MQEO) could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of ectopic endometrial stromal cells (EESCs), but the mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we aim to explore the molecular mechanism of MQEO's specific effects in EESCs.
Methods: We conducted a quantitative proteomics analysis by iTRAQ on EESCs treated with MQEO or DMSO. Then deep analysis was performed based on differentially expressed proteins, including Gene Ontology enrichment analysis, pathway enrichment analysis and protein interaction analysis. Candidate protein targets were subsequently verified by western blotting.
Results: Among 6575 identified proteins, 435 proteins exhibited altered expression levels in MQEO-treated EESCs. Of these proteins, most were distributed in signal transduction as well as immune system and the most significantly altered pathway was complement and coagulation cascades. Moreover, two differentially expressed proteins (Heme oxygenase 1 and Acyl-CoA 6-desaturase) were verified and they can be potential biomarkers for endometriosis treatment.
Conclusions: Our proteomic analysis revealed distinct protein expression patterns induced by MQEO treatment in EESCs, highlighting the potential of MQEO for endometriosis treatment and biomarker discovery.

Clostridium thermocellum is an increasingly well-studied organism with considerable advantages for consolidated bioprocessing towards ethanol production. Here, a genome-scale resource balance analysis (RBA) model of C. thermocellum, ctRBA, is reconstructed based on a recently published stoichiometric model (iCTH669), global proteomics, and C MFA datasets to analyze proteome allocation and the burden imposed on metabolism with regard to ethanol yield and titer.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Curcuma wenyujin was first recorded in the Tang Dynasty's Xinxiu Bencao and has been traditionally used to treat blood stasis syndrome. Its active component curdione exhibits antiplatelet effects, though its anticoagulant mechanisms remain unclear and require further investigation.
Aim Of The Study: To investigate the anticoagulant activity of curdione, identify potential targets through integrated screening, and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Background: The proteome is a valuable resource for pinpointing therapeutic targets. Therefore, we conducted a proteome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) study aimed at identifying potential protein markers and therapeutic targets for Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis (NMDAR-E).
Methods: Protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) were obtained from seven published genome-wide association studies (GWASs) focusing on the plasma proteome, resulting in summary-level data for 734 circulating protein markers.

Phosphorylation of histone lysine demethylases is an important mechanism by which the cell modulates chromatin dynamics to regulate its response to stress. There is evidence that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae H3K36me2/3 demethylase, Rph1p, is an integrator of many signalling events. However, the regulatory function of most Rph1p phosphosites in stress response pathways remains unknown.
