Article Abstract
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cause of death in cardiovascular patients. SOCS3's protective role in cardiac I/R-I is being explored, and miRNAs, particularly miRNA-148a-3p, are suspected to target SOCS3. To elucidate the role of miRNA-148a-3p targeting lipid metabolism gene SOCS3 in cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R-I) in rats.
Methods: Derived mRNA expression data GSE59867 from GEO, identified 558 lipid metabolism genes from KEGG and GSEA, and screened for differentially expressed genes in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Predicted miRNA-148a-3p targeting SOCS3 using TargetScanHuman, validated binding via luciferase assay and 3'UTR mutation. Established a rat I/R-I model to assess miRNA-148a-3p and SOCS3 expression, and investigated SOCS3 regulation by miRNA-148a-3p overexpression. Analyzed expression of NF-κB p65, IL-1β, and TNF-α-related proteins, and evaluated cardiac hemodynamics post-SOCS3 regulation by miRNA-148a-3p.
Results: In GSE59867, TSPO, SOCS3, LRP1, PLB1, CYP1B1, PPARG, ACSL1, and CYP27A1 were identified as differentially expressed lipid metabolism genes in AMI. The results of immune infiltration showed a close relationship between the differential lipid metabolism genes and the infiltration of immune cells such as macrophages and monocytes. The random forest algorithm identified SOCS3 as the key gene. The luciferase reporter gene demonstrated the participation of miRNA-148a-3p in the regulation of SOCS3 by binding to its 3'UTR. In vivo experiments revealed low expression of miRNA-148a-3p in myocardial I/R, while SOCS3 was highly expressed. Elevated miRNA-148a-3p expression led to a decrease in SOCS3, NF-κB p65, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels during cardiac I/R-I. Overexpression of miRNA-148a-3p enhanced the cardiac performance in rats experiencing cardiac I/R-I.
Conclusions: Overexpression of miRNA-148a-3p regulates NF-κB signaling pathway by targeting lipid metabolism gene SOCS3, reduces inflammatory response, and then reduces cardiac I/R-I in rats.

Multivalent binding and the resulting dynamical clustering of receptors and ligands are known to be key features in biological interactions. For optimizing biomaterials capable of similar dynamical features, it is essential to understand the first step of these interactions, namely the multivalent molecular recognition between ligands and cell receptors. Here, we present the reciprocal cooperation between dynamic ligands in supramolecular polymers and dynamic receptors in model cell membranes, determining molecular recognition and multivalent binding via receptor clustering.

Microglia regulate neuronal circuit plasticity. Disrupting their homeostatic function has detrimental effects on neuronal circuit health. Neuroinflammation contributes to the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), with several microglial activation genes linked to increased risk for these conditions.

Although clinical research has revealed microglia-related inflammatory and immune responses in bipolar disorder (BD) patient brains, it remains unclear how microglia contribute to the pathogenesis of BD. Here, we demonstrated that Serinc2 is associated with susceptibility to BD and showed a reduced expression in BDII patient plasma, which correlated with the disease severity. Using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models of sporadic and familial BDII patients, we found that Serinc2 expression showed deficits in iPSC-derived microglia-like cells, resulting in decreased synaptic pruning.

The A20 binding inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)-1 (ABIN-1) serves as a ubiquitin sensor and autophagy receptor, crucial for modulating inflammation and cell death. Our previous in vitro investigation identified the LC3-interacting region (LIR) motifs 1 and 2 of ABIN-1 as key mitophagy regulators. This study aimed to explore the in vivo biological significance of ABIN1-LIR domains using a novel CRISPR-engineered ABIN1-ΔLIR1/2 mouse model, which lacks both LIR motifs.

Background: Women are disproportionately affected by neuropsychiatric symptoms following recovery from acute COVID-19. However, whether there are central nervous system-specific changes in gene expression in women with neuropsychiatric Long COVID (NP-Long COVID) remains unknown.
Methods: Twenty-two women with and ten women without NP-Long COVID were enrolled from New Haven, CT, and the surrounding region and consented to a blood draw and large volume lumbar puncture.
