Article Abstract

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluated the expression profiles of the Hydrogen sulfide (HS)-synthesizing enzymes cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) expression and attempted to establish its relationship to ovarian cancer (OV) drug resistance and prognosis.

Methods: The expression levels of cystathionine β-synthase () and cystathionine γ-lyase () were analyzed in OV from GSE26193 and GSE14764 datasets, and OVCAR8 cisplatin resistant cell line from GSE45553 datasets. The correlation between prognosis with and expression levels were analyzed in OV from GSE26193 dataset. Immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of and expression, meanwhile Kaplan-Meier analyzed of corresponding prognosis in OV patients. The relative drug sensitivity of and genes via gene set cancer analysis. Ultimately, the correlations among OV immune cells, , and . The and expression levels, and pan-cancer prognosis using TCGA database.

Results: and were significantly overexpressed in the OV and OVCAR8 cisplatin resistant cell line (GSE26193: p < 0.001 and p < 0.0001; GSE14764: p < 0.001 and p < 0.0001 IHC: p<0.0001 and p<0.0001; GSE45553: p < 0.0001 and p < 0.0001, respectively). Interestingly, is closely associated with OS and PFS in GSE26193 dataset and OV patients (GSE26193: PFS, p = 0.0391; OS, p = 0.0328. OV patients: PFS, p= 0.017; OS, p=0.030). The and expression levels were correlated with immune cells, CD4 T cells, neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells (DC) and their respective infiltration scores significantly differed. Both and expression levels influenced pan-cancer prognosis.

Conclusion: HS overexpression affected the OS and PFS and could also have an impact on the drug resistance of OV. Pan cancer prognosis may vary with HS expression.

Background: The expression and clinical correlation of BRAFV600E mutation and programmed cell death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) in children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) have been reported, but the conclusions of previous studies are inconsistent. In addition, it has been reported that elevated cathepsin S (CTSS) expression is associated with various cancers. However, there is currently no research on the correlation between CTSS and LCH.

Salt stress impairs photosynthetic efficiency and consequently reduces the growth, development, and grain yield of crop plants. The formation of hydrophobic barriers in the root endodermis, including the suberin lamellae and Casparian strips, is a key adaptive strategy for salt stress tolerance. In this study, we identified the role of the rice NAC transcription factor, ONAC005, in salt stress tolerance.

Plant thermomorphogenesis is a critical adaptive response to elevated ambient temperatures. The transcription factor PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4) integrates diverse environmental and phytohormone signals to coordinate thermoresponsive growth. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying plant thermomorphogenic growth remain poorly understood.

20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 can reduce the effects of oxidative stress and cell death in cerebral ischemia‒reperfusion injury (CIRI). Neuroinflammation is crucial post-CIRI, but how 20(R)-Rg3 affects ischemia‒reperfusion-induced neuroinflammation is unclear. To study 20(R)-Rg3's effects on neuroinflammation and neuronal preservation in stroke models and explore toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor-88/nuclear factor kappa B (TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB) pathway mechanisms.

Sleep deprivation (SD) is a major contributor to cognitive impairment, often accompanied by central neuroinflammation and gut microbiota dysbiosis. The tryptophan (TRP) pathway, activated via indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), serves as a critical link between immune activation and neuronal damage. Umbelliferone (UMB), a naturally occurring coumarin compound, possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and microbiota-modulating properties.
