Article Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the expression of RSPO3 and ß-catenin in preeclampsia and the relationship between RSPO3 and b-catenin levels and maternal-fetal outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS We enrolled 60 pregnant women with preeclampsia and 60 pregnant women without preeclampsia. We collected peripheral blood from the patients upon admission; placenta and cord blood were collected after delivery. The expression of RSPO3 and ß-catenin in maternal blood, cord blood, and placenta was measured. We used the Spearman method to examine the correlations between clinical characteristics and RSPO3. Logistic regression modeling was used to identify the independent risk factors for preeclampsia. RESULTS RSPO3 and ß-catenin levels were decreased in the peripheral blood, cord blood, and placentas of women with preeclampsia, with significant differences (P<0.05). The preeclampsia group had more adverse pregnancy outcomes. RSPO3 level of the preeclampsia group was negatively correlated with systolic blood pressure (r=-0.4654, P<0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (r=-0.4617, P<0.001) in cord blood, and systolic blood pressure (r=-0.5373, P<0.05) and diastolic blood pressure (r=-0.4898, P<0.05) in maternal blood. CONCLUSIONS RSPO3 and ß-catenin were decreased in preeclampsia, RSPO3 was negatively correlated with blood pressure, and RSPO3 could be a risk factor for the development of preeclampsia.

Introduction: Current osteoporosis medications often prove ineffective for various reasons. Alongside optimizing available agents, new genetic targets should be proposed for drug development. Mendelian randomization (MR) may resolve throughput and confounding issues in traditional observational studies for druggable targets.

Introduction: Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecological condition that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide.
Methods: This study utilized large-scale genome-wide association study data and explored the causal relationship between blood metabolites, plasma proteins, and endometriosis via Mendelian randomization and colocalization analysis methods. Clinical pathological data were collected, and hypotheses were validated through experiments such as ELISA, RT-qPCR, and Western blotting.

Background: Obesity is recognized as a prominent contributing factor for pancreatic diseases; however, the mechanisms remain elusive. We aimed to identify the mediating role of circulating proteins in these associations.
Methods: A two-step Mendelian randomization (MR) was conducted to investigate associations between nine obesity indicators, thousands of circulating proteins, with three pancreatic diseases (acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic carcinoma).

Background And Purpose: Liver fibrosis, a progressive liver disease arising from viral or metabolic causes, poses a major global health challenge due to its potential progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Due to the complex aetiology and epidemiology of liver fibrosis, most therapies fail in the clinic, and very few drugs have been approved by the US FDA.
Approach: This review highlights the pathophysiological features of liver fibrosis, with a focus on novel targets in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), key players in the fibrogenesis process, to develop successful therapeutic approaches using both pharmacological agents and active targeting strategies.

Morphogenesis and development of hair follicle fundamentally depend on the interaction between the epidermis and dermis, with dermal papilla cells (DPCs) playing a critical role in these processes. H3K4me3, one of the key histone modifications, is essential for coordinating gene expression. However, the epigenetic modification profile of H3K4me3 in cashmere goat DPCs and its mechanism of action in hair follicle development remain unexplored.
