Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by uncontrolled clonal expansion and differentiation block of immature myeloid cells. Some studies have shown that leukemia stem cells (LSC) are thought to be responsible for the initiation and development of leukemia. Moreover, abnormal O-glycosylation is a key modification in the process of cancer malignancy. In this study, GALNT1 expression was significantly upregulated in LSCs, while knockdown of GALNT1 inhibited cell viability and promoted apoptosis. Importantly, GALNT1 was the direct target of miR-582-5P, and MALAT1 directly interacted with miR-582-5P. In addition, Our investigation corroborated that MALAT1 functioned as an endogenous sponge of miR-582-5P to regulate mucin1 (MUC1) expression, catalyzed by GALNT1, which modulated the activity of JAK2/STAT3 pathway. MALAT1 and MUC1 were targets of transcription factor STAT3 and were regulated by STAT3. In general, these new findings indicated that MALAT1/miR-582-5P/GALNT1 axis is involved in the progression of LSCs, illuminating the possible mechanism mediated by O-glycosylated MUC1 via JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Alstoniaschines A‒I (1‒9), nine previously alkaloids sharing five different skeletons were obtained from the leaves of Alstonia scholaris. The structures and absolute configurations were established by their extensive spectroscopic data analyses, including NMR, HRESIMS, X-ray crystallography data, and theoretical ECD calculations. Compounds 1, 2, 3, and 9 exerted significant protective effect against oxidative stress and inflammatory damage of podocytes induced by high glucose, manifesting as the increase of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, alongside the reductions of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, lactate dehydrogenase.

Aurora kinase A (AURKA) is a serine/threonine kinase that plays a critical role in cell cycle regulation, particularly during mitosis. Recent studies have identified AURKA as an oncogene overexpressed in various cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms by which AURKA contributes to GC pathogenesis, including its roles in cell proliferation, apoptosis inhibition, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and cancer stemness.

Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is one of the most common spinal disorders in elderly people and is often accompanied by neuropathic pain. Although our previous studies have demonstrated that infiltrating macrophage contribute to chronic neuropathic pain in LSS rat model, the molecular mechanisms underlying macrophage activation and infiltration have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we examined the critical role of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) signaling pathway in neuropathic pain associated with macrophage infiltration and activation in LSS rats.

Atherosclerosis (AS), a chronic inflammatory disease and a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Macrophage-mediated lipid uptake and inflammation are central to plaque formation. TREM2, an immunoreceptor expressed in macrophages, has been reported to regulate lipid metabolism and inflammation, yet its role in atherosclerosis remains controversial.

Pseudoautosomal regions (PARs), located at the ends of sex chromosomes, harbor genes that may play a role in tumor pathology by regulating cell proliferation and the immune microenvironment. Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent and molecularly heterogeneous malignancy of the digestive system. However, studies on the role of PARs-related genes in GC are limited.
