Background/Aims: Recent studies have shown that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as promising biomarkers for cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to determine whether miR-19b-3p, miR-134-5p and miR-186-5p can be used novel indicators acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: To investigate the kinetic expression of three selected miRNAs, we enrolled 18 patients with AMI 20 matched controls. Plasma samples were collected from each participant, total RNA was extracted....

Significance Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) using sequencing of fetal cell-free DNA from maternal plasma has allowed accurate diagnosis aneuploidy without requirement an invasive procedure; this approach gained increasing clinical acceptance. In manuscript, we evaluate whether NIPT semiconductor platform (SSP) could reliably detect subchromosomal deletions/duplications in women carrying a high-risk fetus. We show that detection abnormalities is viable extension SSP. Given the recent...

Background/Aims: Hypoxia is a basic pathological challenge that associated with numerous cardiovascular disorders including aberrant cardiac remodeling. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway plays pivotal role in mediating fibroblast (CF) function and fibrosis. Recent data suggested microRNA-101a (miR-101a) exerted anti-fibrotic effects post-infarct remodeling improved function. This study aimed to investigate the potential relationship between hypoxia, miR-101a TGF-β...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been explored in epilepsy with limited samples, varied parameters, and inconclusive results. We aimed to study the efficacy of tDCS for patients refractory focal epilepsy.We conducted a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, three-arm (Group 1 (sham), Group 2 (20-min), 3 (2 × 20-min)) parallel multicenter study. The primary outcome measurement was seizure frequencies (SFs). consisted 28-days baseline, 14-days treatment, 56-days...

An aneuploid-immune paradox encompasses somatic copy-number alterations (SCNAs), unleashing a cytotoxic response in experimental precancer systems, while conversely being associated with immune suppression and cytotoxic-cell depletion human tumors, especially head neck cancer (HNSC). We present evidence from patient samples cell lines that chromosome dosage contribute to an hot-to-cold switch during papillomavirus-negative (HPV

Abstract Human cancer cell lines have long served as tools for research and drug discovery, but the presence source of intra-cell-line heterogeneity remain elusive. Here, we perform single-cell RNA-sequencing ATAC-sequencing on 42 39 human lines, respectively, to illustrate both transcriptomic epigenetic within individual lines. Our data reveal that is frequently observed in different tissue origins, often driven by multiple common transcriptional programs. Copy number variation, well...

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major problem worldwide. As an endothelium-enriched microRNA (miRNA), miR-126 has been reported to serve as potential biomarker of acute myocardial infarction. However, the relationship between and severity CAD remains unknown. This study was designed test whether circulating levels are associated with CAD. Methods: The present enrolled 40 patients who had risk factors for without angiographically significant CAD, 110 presenting stable angina...

Abstract Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is among the most common dose-limiting adverse effects of cancer treatment, leading to dose reduction and discontinuation life-saving chemotherapy a permanently impaired quality life for patients. Currently, no effective treatment or prevention available. Senescence induced during has been shown promote effects. Here, we show that cisplatin induces senescent-like neuronal cells in primary culture mouse dorsal root ganglia (DRG), as...

Background: Recent studies show that microRNA-145 (miRNA-145) might be an attractive tumor biomarker of considerable prognostic value, but little is known about their relationship with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study investigated the correlation between level miR-145 and AMI. Methods: One-hundred patients were divided into three groups: no coronary artery disease (CAD) group, non-ST segment elevation ST group. The plasma levels quantified using real-time quantitative polymerase...

Somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs), generally ( 1 ) losses containing interferons and interferon-pathway genes, many on chromosome 9p, predict immune-cold, immune checkpoint therapy (ICT)-resistant tumors 2 ); however, genomic regions mediating these effects are unclear probably tissue specific. Previously, 9p21.3 loss was found to be an early genetic driver of human papillomavirus–negative (HPV – head neck squamous cancer (HNSC), associated with immune-cold tumor microenvironment (TME)...

How cells control gene expression is a fundamental question. The relative contribution of protein-level and RNA-level regulation to this process remains unclear. Here, we perform proteogenomic analysis tumors untransformed containing somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs). By revealing how regulate RNA protein abundances genes with SCNAs, provide insights into the rules regulation. Protein complex have strong while non-complex Notable exceptions are plasma membrane genes, which show weak...
