摘要Fat deposition in cattle,influenced by factors such as genetics,age,sex,and nutrition,plays a crucial role in determining growth rates,beef yield,and meat quality.Among these,genetics is the predominant factor(Kim et al.,2020;Xing et al.,2025).Research in-dicates a high heritability for visceral(36%)and sub-cutaneous(57%)fat(Fox et al.,2012).Gene muta-tions that affect adipocyte function are significant con-tributors to variations in fat deposition and meat quality(Mannen,2011;Mwangi et al.,2019;Sun et al.,2023;Dementieva et al.,2024).Therefore,investigat-ing genetic variations in fat-related genes is essential for enhancing cattle performance.

摘要Background Inflammatory bowel disease causes intestinal structural damage,impairs gut function,hinders animal growth and development,and reduces farming efficiency.Previous studies demonstrated that lactate alleviates dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)-induced inflammation and mitigates weight loss by enhancing intestinal barrier functions.However,the mechanisms underlying lactate-mediated protection of the intestinal epithelial barrier remain unclear.This study aimed to explore the protective effect of lactate on intestinal barrier damage in colitis piglets and the possible underlying mechanisms through in vivo and in vitro experiments.Methods A total of 6021-day-old weaned female piglets were randomly assigned into three groups based on weight:the control group(basal diet with physiological saline gavage),the DSS group(basal diet with 5%DSS gavage),and the DSS+LA group(2%lactate diet with 5%DSS gavage).There were 10 replicates per treatment,with 2 piglets per replicate.Jejunal morphology was assessed via hematoxylin and eosin staining,while Western blotting quantified the protein levels of proliferation markers,including cluster of differentiation 24(CD24),cyclin D1,and wingless/integrated(Wnt)/β-catenin signaling components.In vitro,0.08%DSS and 2–32 mmol/L sodium lactate-treated intestinal porcine epithelial cell line-J2(IPEC-J2)cells(n=4)were assessed for viability(Cell Counting Kit-8 assay),apoptosis(flow cytometry),and proliferation parameters,including cell cycle analysis and Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 5(Lgr5+)stem cell quantification.Results In vivo,DSS administration induced jejunal villus shortening(P<0.05),downregulated protein levels of CD24,cyclin D1,casein kinase 1(CK1),and dishevelled-2(DVL2)(P<0.05).In vitro,DSS promoted apoptosis,inhibited proliferation,diminished the Lgr5+cell populations(P<0.05),and reduced S-phase cell proportions(P<0.05).Conversely,lactate supplementation ameliorated DSS-induced villus atrophy(P<0.05),restored CD24,cyclin D1,CK1,and DVL2 protein levels(P<0.05).Furthermore,in vitro,sodium lactate attenuated DSS-induced apoptosis(P<0.05),enhanced IPEC-J2 proliferation(P<0.05),expanded Lgr5+cells(P<0.05),and increased S-phase progression(P<0.05).Conclusions In summary,lactate ameliorated intestinal barrier damage in DSS-induced colitis by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and restoring the balance between epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis.This study provides novel mechanistic evidence supporting lactate's therapeutic potential for IBD management.

摘要Background:In various tumor types,cell division cycle-associated 7(CDCA7)is involved in chromatin remodeling andDNA methylation.However,its biological functions and regulatorymechanisms in gastric cancer(GC)remain unknown.This investigation intended to identify the function of CDCA7 in GC progression and elucidate its epigenetic regulatory mechanisms.Methods:Differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were detected fromthe GSE19826,TCGA-GC,and GSE56807 datasets.Networks of protein-protein interactions(PPI)and hub genes were discovered by the DMNC and Clustering Coefficient algorithms.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)analysis and expression profiling were undertaken to determine diagnostic performance.In vitro assays,including CCK-8 assays,clonogenic assays,flow cytometry,dot blots,co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP),chromatin immunoprecipitation(ChIP),and Western blots,were applied to evaluate the role of CDCA7 and its interaction with helicase,lymphoid-specific(HELLS).Results:169 overlapping genes were discovered,enriched in Cell adhesion molecules and ECM-receptor interaction.CDCA7 is highly expressed in GC and has high clinical diagnostic value.Knockdown of CDCA7 causes apoptosis and suppresses GC cell invasion,migration,and proliferation.Mechanistically,CDCA7 physically interacts with HELLS and promotes HELLS recruitment to chromatin.Knockdown of CDCA7 reduces global 5 hmC/5 mC levels and histone methylation(H3K9me3 and H4K20me3),while HELLS overexpression partially reverses these effects.Functionally,HELLS overexpression also partially reverses the antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects of CDCA7 knockdown.Conclusion:CDCA7 promotesGC progression by interactingwith HELLS to regulateDNAmethylation and chromatin stability,suggesting that the CDCA7-HELLS axis may serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for GC.

摘要Background:The role of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase-like protein(HPDL)in endometrial cancer(EC)progression remains poorly understood,particularly its involvement in metabolic-epigenetic crosstalk via lactate-driven histone lactylation.This study aimed to investigateHPDL’smechanistic contribution to EC pathogenesis.Methods:Stable HPDL-overexpressing and knockdown EC cell lines(HEC-1-B and AN3CA)were generated using lentiviral vectors.Functional assays(proliferation,migration,invasion),subcutaneous xenograft models in BALB/c nude mice,and molecular analyses were conducted.Lactate levels,Pan-lysine lactylation(pan-kla),histone H3K18 lactylation(H3K18la),and effects of sodium oxamate(lactate modulator)were assessed.Lactate Dehydrogenase A/Lactate Dehydrogenase B(LDHA/LDHB)knockdown,promoter activity assays,and chromatin immunoprecipitation(ChIP)were performed to evaluate H3K18la occupancy at LDHA/LDHB promoters.Results:HPDL knockdown reduced intracellular lactate,Pan-Kla,and H3K18la levels,while overexpression elevated these markers.Sodium oxamate amplified lactate and lactylation in HPDL-overexpressing cells but suppressed histone lactylation independently of HPDL.LDHA/LDHB knockdown diminished lactylation,repressed HPDL expression,and inhibited promoter activity.ChIP revealed H3K18la enrichment at LDHA/LDHB promoters in HPDL-overexpressing cells and reduced occupancy in knockdown models.HPDL enhanced EC cell proliferation,migration,and invasion in vitro.In vivo,HPDLoverexpressing xenografts exhibited accelerated tumor growth and larger volumes compared to controls.Conclusions:HPDL regulates histone lactylation via LDHA/LDHB and promotes the proliferation of EC cells.

摘要Peripheral nerve defect repair is a complex process that involves multiple cell types;perineurial cells play a pivotal role.Hair follicle neural crest stem cells promote perineurial cell proliferation and migration via paracrine signaling;however,their clinical applications are limited by potential risks such as tumorigenesis and xenogeneic immune rejection,which are similar to the risks associated with other stem cell transplantations.The present study therefore focuses on small extracellular vesicles derived from hair follicle neural crest stem cells,which preserve the bioactive properties of the parent cells while avoiding the transplantation-associated risks.In vitro,small extracellular vesicles derived from hair follicle neural crest stem cells significantly enhanced the proliferation,migration,tube formation,and barrier function of perineurial cells,and subsequently upregulated the expression of tight junction proteins.Furthermore,in a rat model of sciatic nerve defects bridged with silicon tubes,treatment with small extracellular vesicles derived from hair follicle neural crest stem cells resulted in higher tight junction protein expression in perineurial cells,thus facilitating neural tissue regeneration.At 10 weeks post-surgery,rats treated with small extracellular vesicles derived from hair follicle neural crest stem cells exhibited improved nerve function recovery and reduced muscle atrophy.Transcriptomic and micro RNA analyses revealed that small extracellular vesicles derived from hair follicle neural crest stem cells deliver mi R-21-5p,which inhibits mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 7 expression,thereby activating the transforming growth factor-β/mothers against decapentaplegic homolog signaling pathway and upregulating hyaluronan synthase 2 expression,and further enhancing tight junction protein expression.Together,our findings indicate that small extracellular vesicles derived from hair follicle neural crest stem cells promote the proliferation,migration,and tight junction protein formation of perineurial cells.These results provide new insights into peripheral nerve regeneration from the perspective of perineurial cells,and present a novel approach for the clinical treatment of peripheral nerve defects.
摘要Objectives:Tumor recurrence is a major determinant of poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),yet its cellular and molecular basis remains incompletely understood.This study aimed to identify recurrenceassociated genes at single-cell resolution and to develop a prognostic model for predicting survival outcomes and immunotherapy responsiveness in HCC.Methods:Single-cell RNA sequencing data from 12 primary and 6 recurrent HCC samples were integrated and analyzed to identify genes characteristic of recurrence.After quality control,principal component analysis,and t-SNE-based clustering were used to identify highly variable genes for cell clustering and annotation.Based on macrophage characteristic genes,a recurrence-related risk score was constructed using a LASSOCox regression model,and a nomogram integrating clinical variables was developed.Prognostic performance was assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis and time-dependent ROC curves.Immune infiltration profiling was performed to compare immune characteristics between risk groups defined by the prognostic model.Multivariate Cox regression was applied to identify independent prognostic biomarkers,which were subsequently validated by cell function experiments.Results:The risk model effectively stratified patients into high-and low-risk groups with distinct survival outcomes,demonstrating high predictive accuracy for 1-,3-,and 5-year survival.High-risk patients showed altered immune profiles and a reduced predicted response to immunotherapy.GRID2,RNF186,and SLC4A10 were identified as independent prognostic genes,with RNF186 promoting HCC cell proliferation in a SESN2-dependent manner.Conclusion:This prognostic model provides new insights into precision medicine and immunotherapy for HCC,highlighting the potential clinical significance of RNF186 as a therapeutic target.

摘要Objectives:B-cell lymphoma 6(BCL6)is a transcriptional repressor whose overexpression is closely linked to the progression of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL),making it a promising therapeutic target.This study aims to identify a novel small molecule,synthesized via proteolysis-targeting chimeras(PROTACs),capable of degrading BCL6,thereby inhibiting DLBCL growth and providing a foundation for future preclinical studies.Methods:The expression of BCL6 in DLBCL was analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database and the Human Protein Atlas.Western blotting assays confirmed BCL6 expression in tumor cell lines,leading to the identification of the small molecule compound DZ-865B.To evaluate DZ-865B’s in vitro efficacy,multiple assays were performed,including protein immunoblotting,immunofluorescence,reverse transcription quantitative PCR,EDU proliferation,and soft agar cloning assays.Results:TCGA analysis revealed significant overexpression of BCL6 in DLBCL(p<0.05),corroborated by immunohistological staining and western blotting.DZ-865B induced BCL6 degradation in DLBCL cell lines(OCI-LY-1 and SU-DHL-4)in a concentration-and time-dependent manner,and induced the degradation of nuclear BCL6 through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.Notably,DZ-865B did not alter BCL6 mRNA levels but modulated downstream gene expression,leading to the activation of apoptosis pathway proteins and inhibition of DNA synthesis,effectively suppressing DLBCL cell growth.Conclusion:This study demonstrates that the small molecule DZ-865B targets and degrades BCL6 in DLBCL cells,promoting apoptosis and inhibiting cellular proliferation.These findings highlight DZ-865B as a potential therapeutic agent for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

摘要Myostatin(MSTN)is principally expressed in skeletal muscle and negatively regulates muscle growth and development.MSTN mutation can induce muscle overgrowth in cattle by activating cell proliferation,presenting a“double-muscle”phenotype.However,the specific regulatory mechanism is still unclear.Here,we found that Ca2+content in muscle tissue and muscle satellite cells of MSTN mutated(MSTN–/–)cattle were significantly increased compared to wild-type(WT).Furthermore,transcriptome analysis of muscle satellite cells revealed that TRPC4 was significantly increased in MSTN–/–cattle.And the expression of TRPC4 in muscle tissue of MSTN–/–cattle was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot,which was significantly higher than that of WT.These results suggested that MSTN mutation promoted muscle satellite cells proliferation through activation of TRPC4 channel.To further verify,ML204,a specific inhibitor of TRPC4,was used to treat MSTN–/–muscle satellite cells.We found that cell proliferation was inhibited,calcineurin expression was downregulated,and the entry of NFATc3 into nuclei was reduced,which was similar to WT group.Thus,MSTN mutation leads to the activation of TRPC4 channel,which increases intracellular Ca2+content,further activates calcineurin/NFATc3 pathway,and ultimately promotes the proliferation of muscle satellite cells.

摘要Background The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of L-tryptophan(L-Trp)and its metabolite kynurenine(Kyn)on the regulation of porcine intestinal epithelial cell proliferation.Results Dietary supplementation of L-Trp significantly increased villus height and decreased crypt depth in the jejunum and ileum of weaned pigs.mRNA sequencing data and qPCR analysis found that L-Trp activated the expression of cell proliferative genes and the AHR(aryl hydrocarbon receptor)-MST1(mammalian STE20-like kinase 1)-YAP1(Yesassociated protein 1)axis in the ileum.Further in vitro analysis revealed that L-Trp treatment significantly enhanced cell proliferation of intestinal porcine epithelial cells-jejunum 2(IPEC-J2)cells by activating the MST1-YAP1 signaling pathway.Further targeted metabolomics analysis identified Kyn as the core Trp metabolite involved in promoting IPEC-J2 cell proliferation.Mechanistically,Kyn interacted with AHR,which in turn bound to the upstream promote region of MST1 to initiate the transcription of downstream target gene YAP1 to activate intestinal epithelial cell proliferation.Furthermore,porcine intestinal organoid model also demonstrated that Kyn promoted intestinal organoidbudding efficiency and intestinal stem cell proliferation.Importantly,by using the AHR-or YAP1-specific inhibitors,the data confirmed that the Kyn-induced intestinal epithelial cell proliferation in IPEC-J2 cells and intestinal organoids was dependent on the activation of the AHR-MST1-YAP1 axis.Conclusions Together,this study has revealed a regulatory mechanism of Trp metabolism-derived Kyn in promoting porcine intestinal epithelial cell proliferation,offering insights into the connection between nutrient metabolism and intestinal epithelial homeostasis.

摘要Residing at the outermost layer of the skin,the epidermis is composed of stratified squamous epithelial cells.Regular renewal of the epidermis is essential for maintaining its barrier function,which is dependent on the orchestrated proliferation and differentiation of stem cells located in the basal epidermis.This process necessitates precise dual regulation through the intrinsic control of cell division orientation and external microenvironmental influences.In this comprehensive review,we delve into the critical processes underlying epidermis renewal,emphasizing the balance between symmetric and asymmetric cell fate and the integration of differentiated cells into the suprabasal layer.Our paper highlights the pivotal roles of single-cell omics,live imaging,and artificial intelligence(AI)-driven modeling techniques in elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing cell proliferation and differentiation during epidermis renewal.

摘要Objectives Therapeutic strategies for enhancing bone regeneration and combating osteoporosis remain a significant unmet medical need.This study aims to elucidate Lithospermic acid(LA)’s regulatory effects on osteoblast proliferation and differentiation,investigating its viability as a bone-healing agent.Methods This study employed various cellular and molecular biology experiments to assess the effects of LA on the viability,proliferation,cell cycle,apoptosis,differentiation,mineralization,and migration of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts.Immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses were conducted to detect the expression of proteins related to the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,investigating the regulatory mechanisms by which LA promotes osteoblast proliferation and differentiation.Additionally,Wnt inhibitor dickkopf-1(DKK-1)andβ-catenin-silenced cell models were used to further validate the role of LA in modulating this signaling pathway.Results LA significantly promoted osteoblast proliferation without apparent cytotoxicity.Flow cytometry showed that LA regulated the cell cycle by reducing G0/G1 phase arrest and promoting G2/M phase progression.Western blot results indicated that LA upregulated the expression of proteins associated with cell proliferation and enhanced osteoblast differentiation and mineralization.Immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses further confirmed that LA markedly increased the expression of Wnt andβ-catenin,facilitatingβ-catenin nuclear translocation.Treatment with the DKK-1 inhibitor significantly diminished the proliferative and differentiation-promoting effects of LA,confirming the critical role of this pathway.β-catenin knockdown experiments further substantiated its central role in LA-mediated regulation.Conclusion This study confirms that LA promotes osteoblast proliferation,differentiation,mineralization,and migration by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
摘要Breast cancer(BRCA)is characterized by high heterogeneity,with aggressive subtypes frequently showing poor prognosis and resistance to conventional therapies,making the discovery of new therapeutic targets and strategies imperative.Although elevated expression of discs large homolog 3(DLG3)has been reported in BRCA,its functional role in disease progression remains unclear.We performed bioinformatic analyses of clinical datasets to evaluate the prognostic significance of DLG3 expression in BRCA patients.In vitro gain-and loss-of-function experiments were conducted to assess the impact of DLG3 on BRCA cell proliferation,migration,and colony formation.Transcriptomic profiling,coupled with pharmacological inhibition,was employed to identify and validate downstream signaling pathways.Additionally,we extended our validation to an in vivo model to assess the role of DLG3 in tumor progression.We found that elevated DLG3 levels correlated with poor prognosis in breast cancer patients.Functionally,DLG3 overexpression significantly promoted cell proliferation and migration in estrogen receptor-positive MCF7 and triple-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells,whereas its knockdown suppressed these effects.Transcriptomic analyses revealed that DLG3 activates signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)signaling,a finding further corroborated by Western blot.Critically,treatment with the STAT3 inhibitor Stattic attenuated DLG3-driven proliferation and migration,supporting a DLG3-STAT3 oncogenic axis.Furthermore,in vivo studies validated the role of DLG3 in promoting tumor growth and its correlation with elevated STAT3 signaling,consistent with our in vitro findings.Our findings establish DLG3 as a novel driver of breast cancer progression that directly activates STAT3 signaling.DLG3 thus represents both a potential prognostic biomarker and a promising therapeutic target for aggressive breast cancer subtypes,including triple-negative breast cancer.
