Abstract
ATP-binding cassette subfamily A (ABCA) has received wide recognition because it possesses the capacity to translocate its derivatives, xenobiotics, vitamins, and cholesterol across biological membranes. Some ABCA members have causative relevance to inborn diseases, and a number of studies have explored their functions in cancer progression and metastasis. Here, we explored the interrelation between ABCA genes and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). We specified the expression and functions of ABCA members in LUAD using the GEPIA, GEO, Human Protein Atlas, UALCAN, TIMER, and Kaplan-Meier Plotter databases. ABCA5, ABCA6, ABCA8, ABCA9, and ABCA10 were found to be significantly less expressed in LUAD and correlated with TP53 mutation in patients with LUAD. Furthermore, ABCA5, ABCA6, and ABCA8 were relevant to overall survival of patients with LUAD. In conclusion, this study showed that ABCA members may be related to the TP53 mutation of LUAD. Moreover, it may serve as a potential marker for the prognosis of LUAD.

Identification of novel heavy metal detoxification proteins in Solanum tuberosum: Insights to improve food security protection from metal ion stress. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 779:146197. [PMID: 33744586 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.146197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2021] [Revised: 02/07/2021] [Accepted: 02/25/2021] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
With increasingly serious environmental pollution problems, research has focused on identifying functional genes within plants that can help ensure food security and soil governance. In particular, plants seem to have been able to evolve specific functional genes to respond to environmental changes by losing partial gene functions, thereby representing a novel adaptation mechanism. Herein, a new category of functional genes was identified and investigated, providing new directions for understanding heavy metal detoxification mechanisms. Interestingly, this category of proteins appears to exhibit specific complexing functions for heavy metals. Further, a new approach was established to evaluate ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family functions using microRNA targeted inhibition. Moreover, mutant and functional genes were identified for future research targets. Expression profiling under five heavy metal stress treatments provided an important framework to further study defense responses of plants to metal exposure. In conclusion, the new insights identified here provide a theoretical basis and reference to better understand the mechanisms of heavy metal tolerance in potato plants. Further, these new data provide additional directions and foundations for mining gene resources for heavy metal tolerance genes to improve safe, green crop production and plant treatment of heavy metal soil pollution.
