Abstract
During follicular development, changes in the composition of the follicular fluid are synchronized with the development of oocytes. Our aim was to screen the key factors affecting oocyte maturation and optimize the in vitro culture protocol by understanding the changes of proteins and metabolites in follicular fluid. Follicles are divided into three groups according to their diameter (small follicle fluid (SFF): 10 mm < d < 20 mm; medium follicle fluid (MFF): 20 mm < d < 30 mm; large follicle fluid (LFF): 30 mm < d). Proteins and metabolites from the follicular fluid were analyzed by mass spectrometry. The results showed that: in LFF vs MFF, 20 differential abundant protein (DAP) and 88 differential abundant metabolites (DAM) were screened out; In SFF vs MFF, 3 DAPs and 65 DAMs were screened out; In MFF vs SFF, 24 DAPs and 35 DAMs were screened out. The analysis of differential proteins and metabolites showed that glycerophosphate hydrolysis decreased during follicular development, and proteins played a major role in metabolism and binding. In addition, DAMs and DAPs are co-enriched in the "linoleic acid metabolism" pathway. Combinatorial analysis reveals the dynamic profile of follicular fluid during follicular development and provides fundation for further exploring the function of follicular fluid in Mongolian horse.

Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) poses a significant and ever-increasing health and economic burden worldwide. Substantial epidemiological evidence shows that MASLD is a multisystem disease that is associated not only with liver-related complications but is also associated with an increased risk of developing cardiometabolic comorbidities and extrahepatic cancers (principally gastrointestinal [GI] cancers). GI cancers account for a quarter of the global cancer incidence and a third of cancer-related deaths. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the literature on (a) the epidemiological data on the risk of non-liver GI cancers in MASLD, (b) the putative mechanisms by which MASLD (and factors linked with MASLD) may increase this risk, and (c) the possible pharmacotherapies beneficially affecting both MASLD and extrahepatic GI cancer risk. There are multiple potential pathophysiological mechanisms by which MASLD may increase extrahepatic GI cancer risk. Although further studies are needed, the current evidence supports a possible extrahepatic carcinogenic role for MASLD, regardless of obesity and diabetes status, thus highlighting the potential role of tailoring cancer screening for individuals with MASLD. Although there are conflicting data in the literature, aspirin, statins and metformin appear to exert some chemo-preventive effects against GI cancer.

Abstract
High-throughput drug screening (HTDS) has significantly reduced the time and cost of new drug development. Nonetheless, contact-dependent cell-cell communication (CDCCC) may impact the chemosensitivity of tumour cells. There is a pressing need for low-cost single-cell HTDS platforms, alongside a deep comprehension of the mechanisms by which CDCCC affects drug efficacy, to fully unveil the efficacy of anticancer drugs. In this study, we develop a microfluidic chip for single-cell HTDS and evaluate the molecular mechanisms impacted by CDCCC using quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics. The chip achieves high-quality drug mixing and single-cell capture, with single-cell drug screening results on the chip showing consistency with those on the 96-well plates under varying concentration gradients. Through quantitative proteomic analysis, we deduce that the absence of CDCCC in single tumour cells can enhance their chemoresistance potential, but simultaneously subject them to stronger proliferation inhibition. Additionally, pathway enrichment analysis suggests that CDCCC could impact several signalling pathways in tumour single cells that regulate vital biological processes such as tumour proliferation, adhesion, and invasion. These results offer valuable insights into the potential connection between CDCCC and the chemosensitivity of tumour cells. This research paves the way for the development of single-cell HTDC platforms and holds the promise of advancing tumour personalized treatment strategies.

Abstract
The inhalation of zinc chloride (ZnCl2) smoke is one of common resources of lung injury, potentially resulting in severe pulmonary complications and even mortality. The influence of ZnCl2 smoke on lysine succinylation (Ksucc) in the lungs remains uncertain. In this study, we used a ZnCl2 smoke inhalation mouse model to perform global proteomic and lysine succinylome analyses. A total of 6781 Ksucc sites were identified in the lungs, with injured lungs demonstrating a reduction to approximately 2000 Ksucc sites, and 91 proteins exhibiting at least five differences in the number of Ksucc sites. Quantitative analysis revealed variations in expression of 384 proteins and 749 Ksucc sites. The analysis of protein-protein interactions was conducted for proteins displaying differential expression and differentially expressed lysine succinylation. Notably, proteins with altered Ksucc exhibited increased connectivity compared with that in differentially expressed proteins. Beyond metabolic pathways, these highly connected proteins were also involved in lung injury-associated pathological reactions, including processes such as focal adhesion, adherens junction, and complement and coagulation cascades. Collectively, our findings contribute to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlaying ZnCl2 smoke-induced lung injury with a specific emphasis on lysine succinylation. These findings could pave the way for targeted interventions and therapeutic strategies to mitigate severe pulmonary complications and mortality associated with such injuries in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bladder cancer (BC) belongs to the most frequent cancer types. The diagnostic process is still long and costly, with a high percentage of false-positive or -negative results. Due to the cost and lack of effectiveness, older methods need to be supplemented or replaced by a newer more reliable method. In this regard, proteins and glycoproteins pose high potential. METHODS We performed an online search in PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases to find relevant studies published in English up until May 2023. If applicable, we set the AUC threshold to 0.90 and sensitivity/specificity (SN/SP) to 90%. FINDINGS Protein and glycoprotein biomarkers are a demonstrably viable option in BC diagnostics. Cholinesterase shows promise in progression-free survival. BLCA-4, ORM-1 along with HTRA1 in the detection of BC. Matrix metallopeptidase 9 exhibits potential for stratification of muscle-invasive subtypes with high negative predictive value for aggressive phenotypes. Distinguishing non-muscle invasive subtypes benefits from Keratin 17. Neu5Gc-modified UMOD glycoproteins pose potential in BC diagnosis, while fibronectin, laminin-5, collagen type IV, and lamprey immunity protein in early detection of BC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The causal association between osteoarthritis (OA) and bladder cancer remains unclear. This Mendelian randomization (MR) study was carried out to assess the potential causal effects of any OA, knee OA and hip OA, and bladder cancer. METHOD Genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data for OA and bladder cancer were obtained in GWAS CATALOG, UK Biobank, and FinnGen Consortium. Inverse-variance weighted (IVW) approach was primarily conducted to evaluate the causal relationships between OA and bladder cancer, and MR-Egger intercept and Cochran's Q test were mainly used to estimate heterogeneity and pleiotropy. MR-PRESSO was used to test the presence of horizontal outliers. Leave-one-out analysis was utilized to ensure the reliability of the results. RESULTS A higher genetic predisposition to any OA has a causal association with bladder cancer risk, while neither knee OA nor hip OA is causally linked to bladder cancer. MR-Egger intercept analysis exhibited that any OA and knee OA had no pleiotropic effect on the risk of bladder cancer, and Cochran's Q test showed that any OA, knee OA and hip OA had no heterogeneity on bladder cancer risk. Neither MR PRESSO analysis nor leave-one-out analysis revealed any outlier SNPs. CONCLUSIONS This MR study exhibited a positive cause-and-effect relationship between any type of OA and bladder cancer risk, but not between site-specific OA, knee OA and hip OA, and bladder cancer. Attention should be paid to the screening and prevention of bladder cancer in OA patients at any site.

Abstract
Supporting healthy pregnancy outcomes requires a comprehensive understanding of the cellular hierarchy and underlying molecular mechanisms during peri-implantation development. Here, we present a single-cell transcriptome-wide view of the bovine peri-implantation embryo development at day 12, 14, 16 and 18, when most of the pregnancy failure occurs in cattle. We defined the development and dynamic progression of cellular composition and gene expression of embryonic disc, hypoblast, and trophoblast lineages during bovine peri-implantation development. Notably, the comprehensive transcriptomic mapping of trophoblast development revealed a previously unrecognized primitive trophoblast cell lineage that is responsible for pregnancy maintenance in bovine prior to the time when binucleate cells emerge. We analyzed novel markers for the cell lineage development during bovine early development. We also identified cell-cell communication signaling underling embryonic and extraembryonic cell interaction to ensure proper early development. Collectively, our work provides foundational information to discover essential biological pathways underpinning bovine peri-implantation development and the molecular causes of the early pregnancy failure during this critical period. Significance Statement Peri-implantation development is essential for successful reproduction in mammalian species, and cattle have a unique process of elongation that proceeds for two weeks prior to implantation and represents a period when many pregnancies fail. Although the bovine embryo elongation has been studied histologically, the essential cellular and molecular factors governing lineage differentiation remain unexplored. This study profiled the transcriptome of single cells in the bovine peri-implantation development throughout day 12, 14, 16, and 18, and identified peri-implantation stage-related features of cell lineages. The candidate regulatory genes, factors, pathways and embryonic and extraembryonic cell interactions were also prioritized to ensure proper embryo elongation in cattle.

[PMID: 37324462 PMCID: PMC10267389 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1144955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Yiwei decoction (YWD) is a formula of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that is clinically effective for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer recurrence and metastasis. According to the theory of TCM, YWD tonifies the body and strengthens the body's resistance to gastric cancer recurrence and metastasis potentially via the immune regulation of the spleen. The aims of the present study were to investigate whether YWD-treated spleen-derived exosomes in rats inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells, to elucidate the anticancer effects of YWD, and to provide evidence supporting the use of YWD as a new clinical treatment for gastric cancer. Spleen-derived exosomes were obtained by ultracentrifugation and identified by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and western blot analysis. The location of the exosomes in tumor cells was then determined by immunofluorescence staining. After tumor cells were treated with different concentrations of exosomes, the effect of exosomes on cell proliferation was determined by cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) and colony formation assays. Tumor cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Particle analysis and western blot analysis identified the material extracted from spleen tissue supernatant as exosomes. Immunofluorescence staining showed that spleen-derived exosomes were taken up by HGC-27 cells, and the CCK8 assay confirmed that the relative tumor inhibition rate of YWD-treated spleen-derived exosomes in the 30 μg/mL reached 70.78% compared to control exosomes in the 30 μg/mL (p < 0.05). Compared to control exosomes in the 30 μg/mL, the colony formation assay indicated that YWD-treated spleen-derived exosomes in the 30 μg/mL colonies have decreased by 99.03% (p < 0.01). Moreover, flow cytometry analysis showed that treatment with YWD-treated exosomes in the 30 μg/mL increased the apoptosis rate to 43.27%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group in the 30 μg/mL (25.91%) (p < 0.05). In conclusion, spleen-derived exosomes from YWD-treated animals inhibit the proliferation of HGC-27 cells via inducing apoptosis, suggesting that spleen-derived exosomes are involved in mediating the antitumor effect of YWD. These results demonstrated a novel exosome-mediated anticancer effect of YWD as a TCM formula, thereby supporting the use of YWD-treated exosomes as a new approach for the clinical treatment of gastric cancer.
