Article Abstract
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most prevalent digestive tract malignancies, with metastasis being a major contributor to poor prognosis in patients. Fibronectin type III domain-containing 3B (FNDC3B) plays pivotal roles in various tumors, yet its role in GC remains unknown.
Methods: We utilized a GC immunohistochemistry (IHC) chip and specimens to identify high expression of FNDC3B in GC. In vitro cellular experiments and in vivo nude mouse models were constructed to validate the biological functions of FNDC3B. Truncated mutants of FNDC3B and immunofluorescence (IF) assays were conducted to explore the critical domains of FNDC3B. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) were employed to screen and identify target proteins interacting with FNDC3B. Rescue experiments were performed to uncover interactions between FNDC3B and the binding protein.
Results: FNDC3B was found to function as an oncogene in GC. Clinically, FNDC3B was significantly upregulated in GC specimens and associated with poor survival in patients with GC. Functionally, elevated FNDC3B promoted GC metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. Structurally, the proline-rich N-terminus and a transmembrane (TM) domain at the C-terminus were crucial for maintaining the metastasis function of FNDC3B. Mechanistically, FNDC3B interacted with FAM83H, inhibiting the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of FAM83H, which in turn enhanced GC progression through the FNDC3B/FAM83H/Snail/EMT axis.
Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that FNDC3B promotes GC metastasis and has the potential to serve as a therapeutic target for GC.

To investigate the genetic relationships and domestication status of Hainan meat pigeon populations, whole-genome sequencing was performed on 70 individuals across seven breeds: Shiqi (SQ), Silver King (SK), Shenwang (SW), Dabao (DB), Tianxiang No.1 (TX), Hybrid King (HK), and White Carneau (WC), with each breed represented by 10 individuals (5 males and 5 females). From 824 Gb of high-quality sequencing data, we identified 13,347,452 high-confidence single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

Background: Efferocytosis (ER) plays a crucial role in the programmed clearance of dead cells, a process that is mediated by phagocytic immune cells. However, further exploration is needed to determine the full extent of its impact on the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), particularly through interactions among tumor cells, stromal cells, and immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME).
Methodology And Results: In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, as well as additional databases from multiple bioinformatics websites, utilizing 167 ER features derived from the integration of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and bulk transcriptomic data.

Unlabelled: Cervix cancer is a major health concern globally, being the fourth most prevalent type of cancer among females across the globe. Despite existing preventive measures like cytology and HPV testing, more precise diagnostic and treatment strategies are needed. This study leverages single-cell sequencing and transcriptome analysis to identify LLPS-linked therapeutic targets in cervical cancer.

Objective: Effective solutions to obesity remain elusive, partly owing to its root in a positive energy balance (EB), which stems from the interplay of numerous traits spanning body size and composition, diet, physical activity, and metabolic profile. Nevertheless, EB-contributing traits are typically studied in isolation. We integrate numerous EB-related traits measured in the UK Biobank to uncover the underlying patterns of EB and associated genes in study participants.
