NGF-TrkA Axis Enhances PDGF-C-Mediated Angiogenesis in Osteosarcoma via miR-29b-3p Suppression: A Potential Therapeutic Strategy Using Larotrectinib by Sheng-Mou Hou, Ching-Yuan Cheng, Wei-Li Chen, En-Ming Chang, Chih-Yang Lin

“…Furthermore, larotrectinib, a TrkA inhibitor, effectively reduced the migration and invasion abilities of MG63/NGF cells in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that the NGF-TrkA axis promotes PDGF-C-mediated angiogenesis by inhibiting miR-29b-3p signaling. …”

A Conceptual Approach to Complex Model Management with Generalized Modelling Patterns and Evolutionary Identification by Sergey V. Kovalchuk, Oleg G. Metsker, Anastasia A. Funkner, Ilia O. Kisliakovskii, Nikolay O. Nikitin, Anna V. Kalyuzhnaya, Danila A. Vaganov, Klavdiya O. Bochenina

“…In the situation where a system being modeled, or modeling requirements change over time, specific methods and tools are needed to make modeling and application procedures (metamodeling operations) in an automatic manner. To support automatic building and management of complex models we propose a general evolutionary computation approach which enables managing of complexity and uncertainty of various kinds. …”

R-loops acted on by RNase H1 influence DNA replication timing and genome stability in Leishmania by Jeziel D. Damasceno, Emma M. Briggs, Marija Krasilnikova, Catarina A. Marques, Craig Lapsley, Richard McCulloch

“…Using conditional gene excision, we show that loss of RNase H1 leads to transient growth perturbation and permanently abrogates the differences in DNA replication timing across chromosomes, as well as altering levels of aneuploidy and increasing chromosome instability in a size-dependent manner. This work provides a link between R-loop homeostasis and DNA replication timing in a eukaryotic parasite and demonstrates that orchestration of DNA replication dictates levels of genome plasticity in Leishmania.…”

The Peroxisomal 3-keto-acyl-CoA thiolase B Gene Expression Is under the Dual Control of PPARα and HNF4α in the Liver by J. Chamouton, F. Hansmannel, J. A. Bonzo, M. C. Clémencet, G. Chevillard, M. Battle, P. Martin, T. Pineau, S. Duncan, F. J. Gonzalez, N. Latruffe, S. Mandard, V. Nicolas-Francès

“…Intriguingly, we found that HNF4α enhanced PPARα/RXRα transactivation from TB PPRE3 in a DNA-binding independent manner. Coimmunoprecipitation assays supported the hypothesis that HNF4α was physically interacting with RXRα. …”

SaaS sRNA promotes the interfering effect of Salmonella on hepatic iron metabolism via modulating ferroportin 1 by Linlin Cai, Yunting Xie, Haijing Hu, Chongyang Lv, Liangting Shao, Huhu Wang, Xinglian Xu, Guanghong Zhou

“…Concurrently, SaaS activates the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway in a triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM1)-interleukin (IL)-6-dependent manner, intensifying the inflammatory response. Collectively, these results provide evidence that sRNAs serve as crucial regulators of Salmonella pathogenesis and underscore the potential of targeting sRNAs for the prevention of salmonellosis.…”

in vitro evaluation of the efficiency of Artemisia judaica leaf extract on sporulation of Eimeria papillate oocysts and its cytotoxicity by M.A. Esam, N.M. Saleh, A.G. Rewaida, A.Q.H. Waleed, A. Afaf, A.A. Sarah, Al-Q. Saleh

“…The sporulation of oocysts was significantly decreased by AJLE, reaching 12.6% at 300mg/mL, and the effect of inhibition on the oocyst sporulation percentages of E. papillata was observed in a dosage-dependent manner in comparison to the control group. Our results revealed that A. judaica has cytotoxic activity against breast and lung cancer cell line with a promising IC50 of 480.3 and 359.2µg/mL, respectively compared to doxorubicin as a standard.…”
