Article Abstract

Polysaccharides from L. fructus (LFPs) serve as important active biomacromolecules for the wide spectrum of bioactivities exhibited by Lycii fructus. However, the influence of ecological environments on the biosynthesis and structural characteristics of LFPs remains largely unexplored. The present research conducted a comprehensive strategy combining physicochemical structural elucidation, stoichiometric analysis, transcriptomic profiling, and proteomic analysis in L. fructus samples collected from typical cultivation regions including Ningxia, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. The results revealed distinct structural variations in LFPs from Ningxia compared to those from other regions in terms of Glc, Ara, GalA composition percentages as well as overall content. The omics data identified 5531 and 8084 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), as well as 3728 and 4732 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in Xinjiang and Qinghai compared to Ningxia, respectively. The integration of transcriptomic and proteomic analyses revealed enrichment of DEGs and DEPs involved in the biosynthesis pathway of LFPs, including UDPs, AXS, and UGDH. Temperature and precipitation were the significant ecological factors affecting LFPs biosynthesis. These comprehensive analyses provide a novel perspective for explaining the important material basis and environmental response mechanism underlying the quality formation of L. fructus.

Background: The proteome is a valuable resource for pinpointing therapeutic targets. Therefore, we conducted a proteome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) study aimed at identifying potential protein markers and therapeutic targets for Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis (NMDAR-E).

Methods: Protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) were obtained from seven published genome-wide association studies (GWASs) focusing on the plasma proteome, resulting in summary-level data for 734 circulating protein markers.

Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common malignant tumor with metabolic reprogramming and immune evasion features. δ-Aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD), a key enzyme in heme biosynthesis, has been implicated in cancer progression and treatment outcomes, but its role in RCC remains unclear.

Methods: This study integrated multi-omics datasets from TCGA, CPTAC, and GEO to analyze ALAD's expression, prognostic value, and functional implications in RCC.

Human myelinated brain organoids with integrated microglia as a model for myelin repair and remyelinating therapies.

Oligodendrocytes, the myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are essential for the formation of myelin sheaths and pivotal for maintaining axonal integrity and conduction. Disruption of these cells and the myelin sheaths they produce is a hallmark of demyelinating conditions like multiple sclerosis or those resulting from certain drug side effects, leading to profound neurological impairments. In this study, we created a human brain organoid comprising neurons, astrocytes, and myelinating oligodendrocytes.

The scorpion Hottentotta judaicus inhabits the Levant region of the Middle East, including Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, and Israel. While previous research focused on its insecticidal properties and sodium-channel-targeting toxins, its venom remains largely unexplored using modern proteomic approaches. We analyzed the venom composition of H.

Introduction: Neonatal sepsis is a dysregulated immune response to bloodstream infection causing serious disease and death. Our review seeks to integrate the knowledge gained from studies of multiple molecular methods- such as genomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and the gut microbiome- in the setting of neonatal sepsis that may improve the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of the disease. Sepsis claims over 200,000 lives annually worldwide and remains a top 10 cause of infant mortality in the US.
