Deciphering the regulatory programs of RNA binding proteins in rheumatoid arthritis through single-cell transcriptome analysis by Hongbin Luo, Qunya Zheng, Youzheng Zhou, Weipeng Lai, Nanwen Zhang, Peng Chen

“…One hundred five upregulated and 133 downregulated RBPs were identified in fibroblasts. Y-Box binding protein 3 (YBX3) and splicing factor 3b subunit 6 (SF3B6) were confirmed to be upregulated in RA-FLS and CIA mice, while eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A1 (EIF4A1) and U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 1 (U2AF1) were downregulated in RA-FLS. …”

Aerobic exercise alleviates statin-induced PCSK9 upregulation by increasing epoxyeicosatrienoic acid levels through the FoxO3a–Sirt6 axis by Jiahui Hu, Hao Lei, Jingyuan Chen, Leiling Liu, Yajun Gui, Kaijun Sun, Danyan Xu

“…Further, EETs significantly suppressed PCSK9 expression, subsequently reducing the LDL-C levels (all p < 0.05); this effect was mediated via the activation of the forkhead box O3a–silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 6 (FoxO3a–Sirt6) axis, with no impact on the sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (SREBP2-HMGCR) pathway. …”

Optimization and characterization studies of poultry waste valorization for peptone production using a newly Egyptian Bacillus subtilis strain by Hajar Saeed, Anthony Ragaey, Ziad Samy, Viola Ashraf, Aly ElMostafa, Norhan Ahmad, Enjy Bebawy, Nour ElHoda M. Sorour, Salwa M. El-Sayed, Ashraf Bakry, Naglaa Ebeed, Hesham Elhariry, Thanaa El-Noby, Samah H. Abu-Hussien

“…For screening the most significant factors for peptone production, the Plackett–Burman design identified meat and bone meal concentration as the main significant factor influencing total amino acid reaching 420 mg/mL. BOX-Behnken design optimized peptone production increasing its production level by twofold to reach 2850 U/mL of protease activity and 580 mg/mL of total amino acids. …”
