The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Oncostatin M receptor (OSMR) subunit gp130 knockdown on insulin-stimulated glucose metabolism-related signaling pathways and glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells. siRNA-mediated gp130 knockdown was conducted in C2C12 muscle cells, and insulin was added and incubated for 1 h. The cells were cultivated to analyze the mRNA levels of gp130, phosphorylation of STAT3, and glucose metabolism-regulated signaling pathways, and OSM levels in the culture medium were analyzed. The phosphorylation of STAT 3 was significantly decreased in gp130 cell. The insulin stimulation was significantly increased in both gp130 and gp130 and the phosphorylation of IRS-1 Ser 1101 was significantly decreased in gp130. PI3-kinase activity and Akt Thr 308 phosphorylation were significantly decreased in gp130. The insulin-stimulated increase in glucose uptake rate was significantly attenuated in gp130. In the culture medium, OSM levels were significantly lower in gp130compared to gp130 cell. In conclusion, the knockdown of gp130 caused a decrease in STAT 3 phosphorylation and resulted in the attenuation of insulin-mediated glucose metabolism signaling in skeletal muscle cells. Thus, an excessive increase in extracellular OSM may induce blunted insulin action in skeletal muscle cells.

Maintenance of organismal function requires tightly regulated biomolecular communication. However, with aging, communication deteriorates, thereby disrupting effective information flow. Using information theory applied to skeletal muscle single cell RNA-seq data from young, middle-aged, and aged animals, we quantified the loss of communication efficiency over time.

B cells located in tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) may undergo clonal expansion, somatic hypermutation, isotype switching, and tumor-specific antibody production, suggesting that antibody-producing plasma cells may be involved in antitumor immunity. This study used a combination of single-cell sequencing (five samples from our center, and four samples from PRJNA662018) and spatial transcriptome (one sample from our center, and four samples from GSE169379) research methods to investigate the relationship between TLSs and the immunoglobulin repertoire in muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). 405 patients with MIBC from TCGA and 348 patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma on PD-L1 inhibitor treatment from the IMvigor210 trial were included in this study.

Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a major downstream nuclear coactivator of the Hippo pathway and is activated during myocardial hypertrophy. Verteporfin, a YAP inhibitor, may serve as a potential treatment for myocardial hypertrophy. This study was aimed at exploring the role and underlying mechanisms of verteporfin in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial hypertrophy both in vivo and in vitro.

Craniofacial muscles are essential for a variety of functions, including fine facial expressions. Severe injuries to these muscles often lead to more devastating consequences than limb muscle injuries, resulting in the loss of critical functions such as mastication and eyelid closure, as well as facial aesthetic impairment. Therefore, the development of targeted repair strategies for craniofacial muscle injuries is crucial.

Background: Inflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of limb injury caused by snakebite. Investigating its regulatory mechanisms and intervention strategies may help identify effective treatments. Recent studies have shown that pyroptosis exacerbates organ damage by amplifying inflammatory responses.
