Abstract
Glioma is the most common and fatal primary brain tumor in humans. Myosin binding protein H (MYBPH), which was first identified as an important myofibrillar constituent of vertebrate skeletal and cardiac muscles, reduces cell motility and metastasis. However, its role in gliomas remains unclear. We evaluated the expression of MYBPH in glioma using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis ( http://gepia.cancer-pku.cn/ ) and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas ( https://www.cgga.org.cn/ ). The results showed that MYBPH was highly expressed in glioma tissues. Moreover, MYBPH expression was significantly associated with high tumor aggressiveness and poor outcomes in glioma patients. Mechanistically, the results suggested that MYBPH might promote tumor progression by improving tumor invasion and migration. Our results establish MYBPH as an important prognostic biomarker that could be considered a potential epigenetic and immunotherapeutic target for treatment. We showed that MYBPH is a novel biomarker that is variably expressed in glioblastoma (GBM). The association of high MYBPH expression with poor prognosis in newly diagnosed GBM patients and increased expression in recurrent GBM is indicative of its role in tumor aggressiveness.

Li L, Gao Y, Liu Z, Dong C, Wang W, Wu K, Gu S, Zhou Y. GDF11 alleviates neointimal hyperplasia in a rat model of artery injury by regulating endothelial NLRP3 inflammasome activation and rapid re-endothelialization. J Transl Med 2022; 20:28. [PMID: 35033112 PMCID: PMC8760779 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-022-03229-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2021] [Accepted: 01/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Neointimal hyperplasia induced by interventional surgery can lead to progressive obliteration of the vascular lumen, which has become a major factor affecting prognosis. The rate of re-endothelialization is known to be inversely related to neointima formation. Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) is a secreted protein with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiaging properties. Recent reports have indicated that GDF11 can improve vascular remodeling by maintaining the differentiated phenotypes of vascular smooth muscle cells. However, it is not known whether and how GDF11 promotes re-endothelialization in vascular injury. The present study was performed to clarify the influence of GDF11 on re-endothelialization after vascular injury. Methods An adult Sprague–Dawley rat model of common carotid artery balloon dilatation injury was surgically established. A recombinant adenovirus carrying GDF11 was delivered into the common carotid artery to overexpress GDF11. Vascular re-endothelialization and neointima formation were assessed in harvested carotid arteries through histomolecular analysis. CCK-8 analysis, LDH release and Western blotting were performed to investigate the effects of GDF11 on endothelial NLRP3 inflammasome activation and relevant signaling pathways in vitro. Results GDF11 significantly enhanced re-endothelialization and reduced neointima formation in rats with balloon-dilatation injury by suppressing the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Administration of an endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) inhibitor, 4PBA, attenuated endothelial NLRP3 inflammasome activation induced by lysophosphatidylcholine. In addition, upregulation of LOX-1 expression involved elevated ER stress and could result in endothelial NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Moreover, GDF11 significantly inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated endothelial cell pyroptosis by negatively regulating LOX-1-dependent ER stress. Conclusions We conclude that GDF11 improves re-endothelialization and can attenuate vascular remodeling by reducing endothelial NLRP3 inflammasome activation. These findings shed light on new treatment strategies to promote re-endothelialization based on GDF11 as a future target.

Abstract
Objective With the rapid development of proteomics sequencing and RNA sequencing technology, multi-omics analysis has become a current research hotspot. Our previous study indicated that Xinjiang brown cattle have better meat quality than Kazakh cattle. In this study, Xinjiang brown cattle and Kazakh cattle were used as the research objects. Methods Proteome sequencing and RNA sequencing technology were used to analyze the proteome and transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi muscle of the two breeds of adult steers (n = 3). Results In this project, 22,677 transcripts and 1,874 proteins were identified through quantitative analysis of the transcriptome and proteome. By comparing the identified transcriptome and proteome, we found that 1,737 genes were identified at both the transcriptome and proteome levels. The results of the study revealed 12 differentially expressed genes and proteins: troponin I1, crystallin alpha B, cysteine, and glycine rich protein 3, phosphotriesterase-related, myosin-binding protein H, glutathione s-transferase mu 3, myosin light chain 3, nidogen 2, dihydropyrimidinase like 2, glutamate-oxaloacetic transaminase 1, receptor accessory protein 5, and aspartoacylase. We performed functional enrichment of these differentially expressed genes and proteins. The Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes results showed that these differentially expressed genes and proteins are enriched in the fatty acid degradation and histidine metabolism signaling pathways. We performed parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) verification of the differentially expressed proteins, and the PRM results were consistent with the sequencing results. Conclusion Our study provided and identified the differentially expressed genes and proteins. In addition, identifying functional genes and proteins with important breeding value will provide genetic resources and technical support for the breeding and industrialization of new genetically modified beef cattle breeds.

Abstract
Stem cells are nurtured and regulated by a specialized microenvironment known as stem cell niche. While the functions of the niches are well defined, their structure and location remain unclear. We have identified, in rat bone marrow, the seat of hematopoietic stem cells—extensively vascularized node-like compartments that fit the requirements for stem cell niche and that we called hemmules. Hemmules are round or oval structures of about one millimeter in diameter that are surrounded by a fine capsule, have afferent and efferent vessels, are filled with the extracellular matrix and mesenchymal, hematopoietic, endothelial stem cells, and contain cells of the megakaryocyte family, which are known for homeostatic quiescence and contribution to the bone marrow environment. We propose that hemmules are the long sought hematopoietic stem cell niches and that they are prototypical of stem cell niches in other organs.

Abstract
The early diagnosis of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is difficult, causing an unsatisfactory prognosis. Therefore, the 5-year survival rate of LUSC is poor. This study aimed at screening the potential diagnostic and prognostic markers for LUSC. The data of LUSC gene expression profiles and DNA methylation were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database; the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and the differentially methylated genes (DMGs) were screened out by an independent t-test and Benjamini/Hochberg methods. Further, the classifiers of the gene expression and DNA methylation markers in LUSC were constructed. After that, diagnostic and prognostic markers in LUSC were analyzed by the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. The DEGs and the DMGs from TCGA database of LUSC were screened out. After strict filtration, we identified three potential DMGs (POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 2 [POU4F2], EN1, single-minded homolog 1 [SIM1]) for early diagnosis and seven potential DEGs (G-protein coupled receptor 78 [GPR78], PCDHA5, myosin binding protein H [MYBPH], RTL3, KIAA0408, HSD3B2, PCDHA12) for prognosis of LUSC. The tumor-normal tissue classification model and prognosis model were validated in two independent datasets. In addition, the PPI network was constructed, including three DMGs and the five DEGs (GPR78, MYBPH, KIAA0408, HSD3B2, PCDHA12) of the seven DEGs. The potential DMGs (POU4F2, EN1, SIM1) and DEGs (GPR78, MYBPH, KIAA0408, HSD3B2, PCDHA12) for the diagnosis and prognosis of LUSC identified in this article are expected to be further applied in clinical practice of the treatment of LUSC.

Abstract
MYH9 was first discovered due to thrombocytopenia caused by MYH9 mutation-related abnormalities. In recent years, researchers have increasingly found that MYH9 plays an important role in cancer as a cytokine involved in cytoskeletal reorganization, cellular pseudopodia formation, and migration. MYH9 is closely related to the progress and poor prognosis of most solid tumors, and it is now accepted that MYH9 is a suppressor gene and plays an important role on the re-Rho pathway. Recent research has been limited to the study of tissues. However, it would be more direct and informative to be able to use hematology to assess tumor prognosis and changes in MYH9 levels and NMMHC-IIA. This article summarizes recent research on MYH9 and provides a reference for future clinical research.

Abstract
The MYH9 gene encodes the heavy chain of non-muscle myosin IIA, a widely expressed cytoplasmic myosin that participates in a variety of processes requiring the generation of intracellular chemomechanical force and translocation of the actin cytoskeleton. Non-muscle myosin IIA functions are regulated by phosphorylation of its 20 kDa light chain, of the heavy chain, and by interactions with other proteins. Variants of MYH9 cause an autosomal-dominant disorder, termed MYH9-related disease, and may be involved in other conditions, such as chronic kidney disease, non-syndromic deafness, and cancer. This review discusses the structure of the MYH9 gene and its protein, as well as the regulation and physiologic functions of non-muscle myosin IIA with particular reference to embryonic development. Moreover, the review focuses on current knowledge about the role of MYH9 variants in human disease.
