Article Abstract
Human spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) have significant applications in reproductive medicine and regenerative medicine because of their great plasticity. Nevertheless, it remains unknown about the functions and mechanisms of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) in regulating the fate determinations of human SSCs. Here we have demonstrated that LncRNA ACVR2B-as1 (activin A receptor type 2B antisense RNA 1) controls the self-renewal and apoptosis of human SSCs by interaction with ALDOA via glycolysis activity. LncRNA ACVR2B-as1 is highly expressed in human SSCs. LncRNA ACVR2B-as1 silencing suppresses the proliferation and DNA synthesis and enhances the apoptosis of human SSCs. Mechanistically, our ChIRP-MS and RIP assays revealed that ACVR2B-as1 interacted with ALDOA in human SSCs. High expression of ACVR2B-as1 enhanced the proliferation, DNA synthesis, and glycolysis of human SSCs but inhibited their apoptosis through up-regulation of ALDOA. Importantly, overexpression of ALDOA counteracted the effect of ACVR2B-as1 knockdown on the aforementioned biological processes. Collectively, these results indicate that ACVR2B-as1 interacts with ALDOA to control the self-renewal and apoptosis of human SSCs by enhancing glycolysis activity. This study is of great significance because it sheds a novel insight into molecular mechanisms underlying the fate decisions of human SSCs and it may offer innovative approaches to address the etiology of male infertility.

Background: Critical size bone defects represent a clinical challenge, associated with considerable morbidity, and frequently trigger the requirement of secondary procedure. To fill osseous gaps, multiple steps are required, such as proliferation and differentiation on the cellular level and the building of extracellular matrix. In addition, the osteogenic potential of cell-derived extracellular matrices (CD-ECM) is known to enhance bone healing.

On high-risk construction sites, frontline workers are constantly exposed to dual channels of safety communication: supervisory safety communication (SSC) and coworker safety communication (CSC). While existing research has emphasized the general importance of safety communication in promoting safety performance, the differentiated effects and psychological mechanisms of SSC and CSC remain underexplored. To address this gap, this study aims to adopt a Conservation of Resources (COR) theory framework to examine how SSC and CSC influence construction workers' safety behavior (SB) through psychological mechanisms, and how these effects vary under different levels of work pressure (WP).

Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is a leading cause of male infertility, characterized by impaired spermatogenesis. Recent studies suggest that ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, may contribute to testicular dysfunction, however, its role in NOA remains underexplored. In this study, we investigated the roles of NUPR1 and MYC in regulating ferroptosis in human spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) and evaluated their potential as therapeutic targets for NOA.

Background: Oxidative stress is a critical factor contributing to male infertility, impairing spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) and disrupting normal spermatogenesis. This study aimed to isolate and characterize human SSCs and to investigate oxidative stress-related gene expression, protein interaction networks, and developmental trajectories involved in SSC function.
Methods: SSCs were enriched from human orchiectomy samples using CD49f-based magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) and laminin-binding matrix selection.

This case report encompasses three patients who had worked in the construction industry. All three patients had significant silica dust exposure and were subsequently diagnosed with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Despite variations in clinical presentation, including Raynaud's phenomenon, small bowel involvement and skin thickening, commonalities in occupational history and smoking status underscore the potential role of silica exposure as a trigger for autoimmune diseases.
