Article Abstract

Objectives: Lung adenocarcinomas have different prognoses depending on their histological growth patterns. Micropapillary growth within lung adenocarcinoma, particularly metastasis, is related to dismal prognostic outcome. Metastasis accounts for a major factor leading to mortality among lung cancer patients. Understanding the mechanisms underlying early stage metastasis can help develop novel treatments for improving patient survival.

Methods: Here, quantitative mass spectrometry was conducted for comparing protein expression profiles among various histological subtypes, including adenocarcinoma in situ, minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, and invasive adenocarcinoma (including acinar and micropapillary [MIP] types). To determine the mechanism of MIP-associated metastasis, we identified a protein that was highly expressed in MIP. The expression of the selected highly expressed MIP protein was verified via immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis and its function was validated by an in migration assay.

Results: Proteomic data revealed that low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-associated protein 1 (LRPAP1) was highly expressed in MIP group, which was confirmed by IHC. The co-expressed proteins in this study, PSMD1 and HSP90AB1, have been reported to be highly expressed in different cancers and play an essential role in metastasis. We observed that LRPAP1 promoted lung cancer progression, including metastasis, invasion and proliferation and .

Conclusion: LRPAP1 is necessary for MIP-associated metastasis and is the candidate novel anti-metastasis therapeutic target.

Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease with diverse outcomes, and intra-tumoral heterogeneity plays a significant role in both diagnosis and treatment. Despite its importance, the spatial distribution of intra-tumoral heterogeneity is not fully elucidated. Spatial transcriptomics has emerged as a promising tool to study the molecular mechanisms behind many diseases.

Background: The H5N1 avian influenza A virus represents a serious threat to both animal and human health, with the potential to escalate into a global pandemic. Effective monitoring of social media during H5N1 avian influenza outbreaks could potentially offer critical insights to guide public health strategies. Social media platforms like Reddit, with their diverse and region-specific communities, provide a rich source of data that can reveal collective attitudes, concerns, and behavioral trends in real time.

Ribonucleotide reductase (RR) is the rate-limiting enzyme for NTPs conversion into dNTPs, playing a central role in genome replication and maintenance. It is composed by two catalytic (RRM1) and two regulatory (alternatively RRM2 and p53R2) subunits, of which RRM2's functionality depends on a diferric center in the active site and is one of the most expressed genes in many tumors, among which Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a rare and aggressive pediatric tumor. Didox (3,4-dihydroxy-benzohydroxamic acid) is a highly effective RRM2 inhibitor with iron chelating properties which shows fewer in vivo side effects than classical RR inhibitors.

Peaches are highly susceptible to chilling injury (CI) during cold storage, which significantly compromises their postharvest quality. While α-lipoic acid (α-LA) shows promise in extending the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, its role in mitigating CI in peaches remains unexplored. In this study, postharvest peaches were treated with 0.
