Benzo[a]pyrene-induced METTL3 overexpression accelerates renal cell carcinoma progression via m6A modification of LTB4R mRNA and enhanced Treg infiltration

Benzo[ a ]pyrene (BaP) is a widespread environmental pollutant and a representative polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with well-established carcinogenic properties. However, the molecular mechanisms through which BaP promotes renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progression, particularly tho...

Value of spectral CT in differentiating post-treatment recurrence/residual tumor from inflammatory fibrosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

This prospective, single-center pilot study aims to investigate the potential value of spectral computed tomography (CT) in differentiating post-treatment recurrence/residual tumor from inflammatory fibrosis in patients with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC). This prospective study...

Integrated proteomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic profiling identifies SRA1 as a novel therapeutic target for postpartum depression

Postpartum depression (PPD) is among the most common complications of childbirth, and identifying novel treatments is vital. We aimed to identify potential drug targets for PPD by integrating the plasma proteome, transcriptome and epigenome. We designed a comprehensive analysis p...

Senkyunolide I Inhibits mtDNA‐cGAS‐STING Signaling in Macrophages via Targeting VDAC1 Oligomerization to Attenuate Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with limited therapeutic options. The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway, activated by cytosolic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), has been increasingly implicated in UC. Through p...

Macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition-derived itaconate promotes bone metastasis in lung cancer through targeting of HSPA8

Abstract Lung cancer bone metastasis carries a poor prognosis, yet the metabolic determinants driving tumour–stroma crosstalk remain largely elusive. Despite extensive investigations into itaconate, a prominent immunometabolite implicated in macrophage polarization, the precise m...

2-Ethylhexyl Diphenyl Phosphate (EHDPP) Induces Hepatic Expression of Cytochrome P450s, Liver Damage, and Genotoxicity in Mice

As a commonly present organophosphorus flame retardant and persistent organic pollutant, 2-ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPP) has been observed to be genotoxic in cultured human hepatoma (HepG2) cells which depends on CYP activities. Yet, its impacts on hepatic Cyp expression,...

Cardiac MR Characterization of Infarct‐Related and Remote Myocardial Injury in Multivessel Disease After Acute Myocardial Infarction

BACKGROUND: Patients with multivessel disease (MVD) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have worse outcomes than those with single-vessel disease (SVD), but whether MVD is associated with diffuse myocardial injury beyond the infarct zone (IZ) remains unclear. PURPOSE: To char...

Thyroid function and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: Insights from a sex‐specific cohort study, Mendelian randomization, and experimental validation

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease using a sex-specific cohort study, bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR), and in vitro experiments. METHODS: Multivariab...

Methylation-sensitive restriction endonuclease-based amplification assay for detecting DNA methylation in colorectal cancer: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background This study evaluates the clinical utility of combined SDC2 and ADHFE1 methylation analysis for colorectal cancer (CRC) detection using a methylation-sensitive restriction endonuclease (MSRE)-based assay. Methods Leveraging the specificity of MSRE, we developed...
