Ferredoxin 1 (FDX1) functions by transferring electrons from NADPH to mitochondrial cytochrome P450 via the ferredoxin reductase and is key regulator in copper-dependent cell death. Although mounting evidence supports a vital role for FDX1 tumorigenesis of some cancers, no pan-cancer analysis has been reported. Therefore, we aimed explore prognostic value investigate its potential immune function. Based on data The Cancer Genome Atlas, Cell Line Encyclopedia, Genotype Tissue-Expression,...

Prostate cancer was the fourth most diagnosed worldwide in 2022. Radical treatments and androgen deprivation therapy benefit newly patients but impact quality of life, often leading to castration-resistant prostate cancer. Short-term dietary changes significantly affect gut microbiota, which differs markedly between healthy individuals, impacting both progression treatment response. A high-choline diet increases risk fatal cancer, potentially mediated by conversion choline trimethylamine...

Liver fibrosis, one of the main histological determinants various chronic liver diseases, currently lacks effective treatment. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are pivotal in production extracellular matrix and amplify fibrogenic response. Inhibiting activation HSCs or promoting senescence activated is crucial for regression fibrosis. The ATPase p97, also known as valosin-containing protein (VCP), a central component ubiquitin-proteasome system, it regulates numerous cellular processes by...

Abstract Background Kidney stone disease (KSD) is more common in individuals with hypertension (HTN) than normotension (NTN). Urinary dysbiosis associated urinary tract and systemic diseases. However, the role of microbiome KSD complicated HTN remains unclear. Methods This study investigated relationship between pelvis blood pressure (BP) patients co-occurring (KSD-HTN) healthy controls (HC) by conducting 16S rRNA gene sequencing bacteria urine samples. The samples were collected (after...

Abstract Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been demonstrated to play vital roles in cancer development and progression. However, studies on the association between circRNAs prostate (PCa) are still lacking. CircRNA sequencing of two pairs PCa tissues adjacent normal was conducted present study, qRT–PCR performed verify results. Functional experiments were investigate cellular functions after specific changes. Mass spectrometry analysis RNA pull-down Co-IP assays further conducted. Downstream...

Kidney fibrosis is accompanied by vascular dysfunction. Discovering new ways to ameliorate dysfunctional angiogenesis may bypass kidney fibrosis. YAP (Yes-associated protein) plays a multifaceted role during angiogenesis. Here, we found that selectively targeting signaling in the endothelium ameliorates unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO)-induced Genetic deletion of Yap1, encoding protein, VE-cadherin+ endothelial cells inhibited endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) and improved...

A close relationship exists between castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and histidine metabolism by gut microbes. However, the effects of metabolite imidazole propionate (IMP) on (PCa) its underlying mechanisms are not well understood. We first assessed IMP cell proliferation migration at cellular level. Subsequently, we investigated mechanism action using transcriptome sequencing, qPCR, Western blot analysis. Finally, validated our findings in vivo a mouse model. Histidine had no...

Abstract Background The long-held notion that, without urinary tract or circulatory infection, bladder urine and blood are sterile biofluids has been disproven. There have no previous reports on the kidney pelvis microbiome after disinfection in stone patients. This study aimed to determine whether a is present eliminating influence of microbiome, composition different patients with (SKP) non-stone (NSKP), correlation between SKP patient clinical characteristics.
