Article Abstract

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1 (hnRNPA2/B1) is a pivotal player in m6A recognition, RNA metabolism, and antiviral responses. In the context of cancer, overexpression of hnRNPA2/B1, abnormal RNA levels, and m6A depositions are evident. This study focuses on two significant nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) within hnRNPA2/B1, namely, F66L and E92K. Our structural analyses reveal decreased stability in these mutants, with E92K being predicted to undergo destabilizing post-translational methylation. Furthermore, our extensive analysis of 44,239 tumor samples from the COSMIC database uncovers that amino acid position 92 exhibits the second-highest mutation frequency within hnRNPA2/B1, particularly associated with breast and lung cancers. This experimental data aligns with our theoretical studies, highlighting the substantial impact of the nsSNP at position 92 on hnRNPA2/B1's stability and functionality. Given the critical role of pre-mRNA splicing, transcription, and translation regulation in cellular function, it is important to assess the impact of these nsSNPs on the stability and function of the hnRNPA2/B1 protein to design more efficient anticancer therapeutics.

Background: Recent research has increasingly underscored a significant correlation between gut microbiota and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Probiotics have emerged as promising adjunctive interventions for OSA. Metabolites and their related biochemical pathways have emerged as important contributors to the development of OSA.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests vitamin D plays a dual role in immune regulation, yet its interplay with genetic susceptibility in early-life allergy development remains poorly understood. This prospective cohort study investigated whether cord blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels interact with immunoregulatory gene variants to influence childhood food allergy risk.

Methods: A total of 1,049 mother-infant pairs from the Shanghai Allergy Cohort were stratified by cord blood 25(OH)D concentrations (<15, 15-25, >25 ng/mL).

Background And Aim: The () gene plays a pivotal role in regulating growth, metabolism, and fat deposition in cattle. Genetic polymorphisms in this gene can influence phenotypic traits and may serve as molecular markers for selection in breeding programs. However, comprehensive characterization of gene variants in local Indonesian breeds, such as Madura cattle, remains limited.

Background: The progressive legalization and widespread use of cannabis has led to its use as a treatment for certain neuropsychiatric disorders. Traditional epidemiological studies suggest that cannabis use has an effect on some neurocognitive aspects. However, it is unclear whether cannabis use is causally related to common neuropsychiatric disorders.

Background/aims: Drug addiction is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterised by compulsive drug-seeking behaviour notwithstanding adverse consequences. This work seeks to address a deficiency in the literature by comparing drug-addicted and non-addicted individuals within an Iraqi population through the analysis of a 1000-base pair variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) polymorphism of the dopamine receptor gene DRD4. The association of this novel polymorphism with drug addiction has not yet been examined.
