Abstract
Acetate, a precursor of acetyl-CoA, is instrumental in energy production, lipid synthesis and protein acetylation. However, whether acetate reprogrammes tumour metabolism and plays a role in tumour immune evasion remains unclear. Here, we show that acetate is the most abundant short-chain fatty acid in human non-small cell lung cancer tissues, with increased tumour-enriched acetate uptake. Acetate-derived acetyl-CoA induces c-Myc acetylation, which is mediated by the moonlighting function of the metabolic enzyme dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase. Acetylated c-Myc increases its stability and subsequent transcription of the genes encoding programmed death-ligand 1, glycolytic enzymes, monocarboxylate transporter 1 and cell cycle accelerators. Dietary acetate supplementation promotes tumour growth and inhibits CD8+ T cell infiltration, whereas disruption of acetate uptake inhibits immune evasion, which increases the efficacy of anti-PD-1-based therapy. These findings highlight a critical role of acetate promoting tumour growth beyond its metabolic role as a carbon source by reprogramming tumour metabolism and immune evasion, and underscore the potential of controlling acetate metabolism to curb tumour growth and improve the response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate whole-node histogram parameters of blood flow (BF) maps derived from three-dimensional pseudo-continuous arterial spin-labelled (3D pCASL) imaging in discriminating metastatic from benign upper cervical lymph nodes (UCLNs) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty NPC patients with a total of 170 histologically confirmed UCLNs (67 benign and 103 metastatic) were included retrospectively. Pre-treatment 3D pCASL imaging was performed and whole-node histogram analysis was then applied. Histogram parameters and morphological features, such as minimum axis diameter (MinAD), maximum axis diameter (MaxAD), and location of UCLNs, were assessed and compared between benign and metastatic lesions. Predictors were identified and further applied to establish a combined model by multivariate logistic regression in predicting the probability of metastatic UCLNs. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyse the diagnostic performance. RESULTS Metastatic UCLNs had larger MinAD and MinAD/MaxAD ratio, greater energy and entropy values, and higher incidence of level II (upper jugular group), but lower BF10th value than benign nodes (all p<0.05). MinAD, BF10th, energy, and entropy were validated as independent predictors in diagnosing metastatic UCLNs. The combined model yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.932, accuracy of 84.42 %, sensitivity of 80.6 %, and specificity of 90.29 %. CONCLUSIONS Whole-node histogram analysis on BF maps is a feasible tool to differentiate metastatic from benign UCLNs in NPC patients, and the combined model can further improve the diagnostic efficacy.

Abstract
In recent years, the number of obesity has increased rapidly around the world, and it has become a major public health problem endangering global health [1]. Obesity is caused by excessive calorie intake over a long period of time, and high-fat diet (HFD) is one of the important predisposing factors [2], [3], [4]. Adipose tissue (AT) is an important immune and endocrine organ in the body, and plays an important role in the body [5]. Obesity leads to AT dysfunction, AT dilation and cell hypertrophy. Dysfunctional fat cells are the main source of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which aggravate low-grade systemic inflammation and further promote the development of obesity-related diseases [6], [7], [8]. However, whether AT releases pro-inflammatory cytokines in the early stages of obesity development remains unknown. The AT microenvironment is composed of a variety of cells, including fat cells, immune cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. The immune microenvironment (TIME) and its metabolic imbalance can lead to the secretion or regulation of related hormones, which causes inflammation AT [9]. TIME is very important for maintaining AT homeostasis, which is crucial for the occurrence of obesity [10,11]. This data use single-cell RNA sequencing (sNuc-Seq) to analyze the characteristics of TIME changes in the mouse epididymal adipose tissue during the development of obesity, and the changes of cell types and genes in the tissue.

Abstract
Telomere dysfunction is intricately linked to the aging process and stands out as a prominent cancer hallmark. Here we demonstrate that telomerase activity is differentially regulated in cancer and normal cells depending on the expression status of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase 1 (FBP1). In FBP1-expressing cells, FBP1 directly interacts with and dephosphorylates telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) at Ser227. Dephosphorylated TERT fails to translocate into the nucleus, leading to the inhibition of telomerase activity, reduction in telomere lengths, enhanced senescence and suppressed tumor cell proliferation and growth in mice. Lipid nanoparticle-mediated delivery of FBP1 mRNA inhibits liver tumor growth. Additionally, FBP1 expression levels inversely correlate with TERT pSer227 levels in renal and hepatocellular carcinoma specimens and with poor prognosis of the patients. These findings demonstrate that FBP1 governs cell immortality through its protein phosphatase activity and uncover a unique telomerase regulation in tumor cells attributed to the downregulation or deficiency of FBP1 expression.

Abstract
The Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) protein, which is frequently mutated in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), is a master regulator of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) that is involved in oxidative stresses. However, whether VHL possesses HIF-independent tumor-suppressing activity remains largely unclear. Here, we demonstrate that VHL suppresses nutrient stress-induced autophagy, and its deficiency in sporadic ccRCC specimens is linked to substantially elevated levels of autophagy and correlates with poorer patient prognosis. Mechanistically, VHL directly binds to the autophagy regulator Beclin1, after its PHD1-mediated hydroxylation on Pro54. This binding inhibits the association of Beclin1-VPS34 complexes with ATG14L, thereby inhibiting autophagy initiation in response to nutrient deficiency. Expression of non-hydroxylatable Beclin1 P54A abrogates VHL-mediated autophagy inhibition and significantly reduces the tumor-suppressing effect of VHL. In addition, Beclin1 P54-OH levels are inversely correlated with autophagy levels in wild-type VHL-expressing human ccRCC specimens, and with poor patient prognosis. Furthermore, combined treatment of VHL-deficient mouse tumors with autophagy inhibitors and HIF2α inhibitors suppresses tumor growth. These findings reveal an unexpected mechanism by which VHL suppresses tumor growth, and suggest a potential treatment for ccRCC through combined inhibition of both autophagy and HIF2α.

Abstract
Rapid phenotypic detection assays, including Carba NP and its variants, are widely applied for clinical diagnosis of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE). However, these tests are based on the acidification of the pH indicator during carbapenem hydrolysis, which limits test sensitivity and speed, especially for the detection of CPE producing low-activity carbapenem (e.g., OXA-48 variants). Herein, we developed a novel rapid and sensitive CPE detection method (Carba PBP) that could measure substrate (meropenem) consumption based on penicillin-binding protein (PBP). Meropenem-specific PBP was used to develop a competitive lateral flow assay (LFA) for meropenem identification. For the detection of carbapenemase activity, meropenem concentration was optimized using a checkerboard assay. The performance of Carba PBP was evaluated and compared with that of Carba NP using a panel of 94 clinical strains characterized by whole-genome sequencing and carbapenem susceptibility test. The limit of detection of PBP-based LFA for meropenem identification was 7 ng mL-1. Using 10 ng mL-1 meropenem as the substrate, Carba PBP and Carba NP could detect 10 ng mL-1 carbapenemase within 25 min and 1,280 ng mL-1 CPE in 2 h, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were 100% (75/75) and 100% (19/19) for Carba PBP and 85.3% (64/75) and 100% (19/19) for Carba NP, respectively. When compared with Carba NP, Carba PBP showed superior performance in detecting all the tested CPE strains (including OXA-48-like variants) within 25 min and presented two orders of magnitude higher analytical sensitivity, demonstrating potential for clinical diagnosis of CPE. IMPORTANCE This study successfully achieved the goal of carbapenemase activity detection with both high sensitivity and convenience, offering a convenient lateral flow assay for clinical diagnosis of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE CSFV infection in pigs causes persistent high fever, hemorrhagic necrotizing multi-organ inflammation, and high mortality, which seriously threatens the global swine industry. Cell death is an essential immune response of the host against pathogen invasion, and lymphopenia is the most typical clinical feature in the acute phase of CSFV infection, which affects the initial host antiviral immunity. As an "old" virus, CSFV has evolved mechanisms to evade host immune response after a long genetic evolution. Here, we show that necroptosis is a limiting host factor for CSFV infection and that CSFV-induced autophagy can subvert this host defense mechanism to promote its sustained replication. Our findings reveal a complex link between necroptosis and autophagy in the process of cell death, provide evidence supporting the important role for CSFV in counteracting host cell necrosis, and enrich our knowledge of pathogens that may subvert and evade this host defense.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer cells undergo cellular adaptation through metabolic reprogramming to sustain survival and rapid growth under various stress conditions. However, how brain tumors modulate their metabolic flexibility in the naturally serine/glycine (S/G)-deficient brain microenvironment remain unknown. METHODS We used a range of primary/stem-like and established glioblastoma (GBM) cell models in vitro and in vivo. To identify the regulatory mechanisms of S/G deprivation-induced metabolic flexibility, we employed high-throughput RNA-sequencing, transcriptomic analysis, metabolic flux analysis, metabolites analysis, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), luciferase reporter, nuclear fractionation, cycloheximide-chase, and glucose consumption. The clinical significances were analyzed in the genomic database (GSE4290) and in human GBM specimens. RESULTS The high-throughput RNA-sequencing and transcriptomic analysis demonstrate that the de novo serine synthesis pathway (SSP) and glycolysis are highly activated in GBM cells under S/G deprivation conditions. Mechanistically, S/G deprivation rapidly induces reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation and AMPK-dependent hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α stabilization and transactivation. Activated HIF-1α in turn promotes the expression of SSP enzymes phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1), and phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH). In addition, the HIF-1α-induced expression of glycolytic genes (GLUT1, GLUT3, HK2, and PFKFB2) promotes glucose uptake, glycolysis, and glycolytic flux to fuel SSP, leading to elevated de novo serine and glycine biosynthesis, NADPH/NADP+ ratio, and the proliferation and survival of GBM cells. Analyses of human GBM specimens reveal that the levels of overexpressed PHGDH, PSAT1, and PSPH are positively correlated with levels of AMPK T172 phosphorylation and HIF-1α expression and the poor prognosis of GBM patients. CONCLUSION Our findings reveal that metabolic stress-enhanced glucose-derived de novo serine biosynthesis is a critical metabolic feature of GBM cells, and highlight the potential to target SSP for treating human GBM.

Abstract
Classical swine fever (CSF) is an infectious disease caused by Classical swine fever virus (CSFV), which is characterized by depression, high fever, extensive skin bleeding, leukopenia, anorexia, alternating constipation, and diarrhea. Hemorrhagic infarction of the spleen is the main characteristic pathological change following CSFV infection. Large-scale outbreaks of CSF are rare in China and are mainly distributed regionally. The clinical symptoms of CSF are not obvious, and show variation from typical to atypical symptoms, which makes diagnosis based on clinical symptoms and pathology challenging. In recent years, the incidence of CSF-immunized pig farms in China has increased and new CSFV gene subtypes have appeared, posing new challenges to the prevention and control of CSF in China. Changes in metabolites caused by viral infection reflect the pathogenic process. Metabonomics can reveal the trace metabolites of organisms; however, plasma metabonomics of CSFV-infected pigs have rarely been investigated. Therefore, we used an established pig CSFV infection model to study changes in plasma metabolites. The results showed significant differences in forty-five plasma metabolites at different time periods after CSFV infection in pigs, with an increase in twenty-five metabolites and a decrease in twenty metabolites. These changed metabolites were mainly attributed to the tricarboxylic acid cycle, amino acid cycle, sugar metabolism, and fat metabolism. Thirteen metabolic pathways changed significantly in CSFV-infected pigs, including tricarboxylic acid cycle, inositol phosphate metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism,lysine degradation, alanine, aspartate and glutamic acid metabolism, pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis, β-alanine metabolism, lysine degradation, arginine and proline metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism. Among these, changes in fatty acid biosynthesis and metabolism occurred at all time periods post-infection. These results indicate that CSFV infection in pigs could seriously alter metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Crosstalk between histone modifications represents a fundamental epigenetic mechanism in gene regulation. During the transcription elongation process, the histone deacetylase complex Rpd3S is recruited to H3K36-methylated nucleosomes to suppress cryptic transcription initiation. However, how subunits of Rpd3S are assembled and coordinated to recognize nucleosomal substrates and exert their deacetylation function remains unclear. Here we report the structure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rpd3S deacetylase bound to H3K36me3-modified nucleosome at 3.1 Å resolution. It shows that Sin3 and Rco1 subunits orchestrate the assembly of the complex and mediate its contact with nucleosome at multiple sites, with the Sin3-DNA interface as a pivotal anchor. The PHD1 domain of Rco1 recognizes the unmodified H3K4 and places the following H3 tail toward the active site of Rpd3, while the chromodomain of Eaf3 subunit recognizes the H3K36me3 mark and contacts both nucleosomal and linker DNA. The second copy of Eaf3-Rco1 is involved in neighboring nucleosome binding. Our work unravels the structural basis of chromatin targeting and deacetylation by the Rpd3S complex.

Abstract
Cancer cells prefer to utilizing aerobic glycolysis to generate energy and anabolic metabolic intermediates for cell growth. However, whether the activities of glycolytic enzymes can be regulated by specific posttranslational modifications, such as SUMOylation, in response to oncogenic signallings, thereby promoting the Warburg effect, remain largely unclear. Here, we demonstrate that phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3), a key glycolytic enzyme, interacts with SUMO-conjugating enzyme UBC9 and is SUMOylated at K302 in glioblastoma cells. Expression of UBC9, which competitively prevents the binding of ubiquitin E3 ligase APC/C to PFKFB3 and subsequent PFKFB3 polyubiquitination, increases PFKFB3 stability and expression. Importantly, EGFR activation increases the interaction between UBC9 and PFKFB3, leading to increased SUMOylation and expression of PFKFB3. This increase is blocked by inhibition of EGFR-induced AKT activation whereas expression of activate AKT by itself was sufficient to recapitulate EGF-induced effect. Knockout of PFKFB3 expression decreases EGF-enhanced lactate production and GBM cell proliferation and this decrease was fully rescued by reconstituted expression of WT PFKFB3 whereas PFKFB3 K302R mutant expression abrogates EGF- and UBC9-regulated lactate production and GBM cell proliferation. These findings reveal a previously unknown mechanism underlying the regulation of the Warburg effect through the EGFR activation-induced and UBC9-mediated SUMOylation and stabilization of PFKFB3.

Abstract
Transfer RNA-derived fragments (tRFs) are a class of small non-coding regulatory RNAs that are involved in the pathophysiology of many diseases. However, the role of tRFs in cancer progression remains largely elusive. Here, we demonstrate that a pan-cancer 3'-tRF, CAT1 (cancer associated tRF 1), is ubiquitously upregulated in tumors and associated with poor prognosis of a variety of cancers, including lung cancer. The upregulated CAT1 in cancer cells binds to RNA-binding protein with multiple splicing (RBPMS) and displaces NOTCH2 association from RBPMS, thereby inhibiting the subsequent CCR4-NOT deadenylation-complex-mediated NOTCH2 mRNA decay. The CAT1-enhanced NOTCH2 expression promotes lung cancer cell proliferation and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. In addition, plasma CAT1 levels are substantially increased in patients with lung cancer compared to non-cancer control subjects. Our findings reveal an intrinsic connection between cancer-specific upregulation of CAT1 and cancer progression, show the regulation of NOTCH signaling in cancer by a 3'-tRF, and highlight its great clinical potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Base editing has shown great potential for treating human diseases with mutated genes. However, its potential for treating HCC has not yet been explored. APPROACH AND RESULTS We employed adenine base editors (ABEs) to correct a telomerase reverse transcriptase ( TERT ) promoter mutation, which frequently occurs in various human cancers, including HCC. The mutated TERT promoter -124 C>T is corrected to -124 C by a single guide (sg) RNA-guided and deactivated Campylobacter jejuni Cas9 (CjCas9)-fused adenine base editor (CjABE). This edit impairs the binding of the E-twenty six/ternary complex factor transcription factor family, including E-twenty six-1 and GABPA, to the TERT promoter, leading to suppressed TERT promoter and telomerase activity, decreased TERT expression and cell proliferation, and increased cell senescence. Importantly, injection of adeno-associated viruses expressing sgRNA-guided CjABE or employment of lipid nanoparticle-mediated delivery of CjABE mRNA and sgRNA inhibits the growth of liver tumors harboring TERT promoter mutations. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that a sgRNA-guided CjABE efficiently converts the mutated TERT promoter -124 C>T to -124 C in HCC cells and underscore the potential to treat HCC by the base editing-mediated correction of TERT promoter mutations.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the hemostatic efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of recombinant human thrombin in the treatment of liver wounds that still ooze after conventional surgical hemostasis. Methods: A multicenter, stratified randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase Ⅲ trial with a planned enrollment of 510 subjects at 33 centers, with a 2∶1 randomization to the thrombin group versus the placebo group. An interim analysis will be conducted after approximately 70% of the subjects have completed the observation period. The primary efficacy endpoint was the rate of hemostasis within 6 minutes at the point of bleeding that could be evaluated. Safety analysis was performed one month after surgery, and the positive rates of anti-drug antibody (ADA) and neutralizing antibody were evaluated. Results: At the interim analysis, a total of 348 subjects had been randomized and received the study drug (215 were male and 133 were female). They were aged 19-69 (52.9±10.9)years. Among them, 232 were in the thrombin group and 116 were in the placebo group, with balanced and comparable demographics and baseline characteristics between the two groups. The hemostasis rate at 6 minutes was 71.6% (95%CI:65.75%-77.36%) in the thrombin group and 44.0% (95%CI: 34.93%-53.00%) in the placebo group, respectively (P<0.001). No grade≥3 drug-related adverse events and no drug-related deaths were reported from the study.No recombinant human thrombin-induced immunologically-enhanced ADA or immunologically-induced ADA was detected after topical use in subjects. Conclusion: Recombinant human thrombin has shown significant hemostatic efficacy and good safety in controlling bleeding during liver resection surgery, while also demonstrating low immunogenicity characteristics.

Abstract
We present a new measurement of the positive muon magnetic anomaly, a_{μ}≡(g_{μ}-2)/2, from the Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment using data collected in 2019 and 2020. We have analyzed more than 4 times the number of positrons from muon decay than in our previous result from 2018 data. The systematic error is reduced by more than a factor of 2 due to better running conditions, a more stable beam, and improved knowledge of the magnetic field weighted by the muon distribution, ω[over ˜]_{p}^{'}, and of the anomalous precession frequency corrected for beam dynamics effects, ω_{a}. From the ratio ω_{a}/ω[over ˜]_{p}^{'}, together with precisely determined external parameters, we determine a_{μ}=116 592 057(25)×10^{-11} (0.21 ppm). Combining this result with our previous result from the 2018 data, we obtain a_{μ}(FNAL)=116 592 055(24)×10^{-11} (0.20 ppm). The new experimental world average is a_{μ}(exp)=116 592 059(22)×10^{-11} (0.19 ppm), which represents a factor of 2 improvement in precision.

Abstract
Rapidly growing tumors often encounter energy stress, such as glutamine deficiency. However, how normal and tumor cells differentially respond to glutamine deficiency remains largely unclear. Here, we demonstrate that glutamine deprivation activates PERK, which phosphorylates FBP1 at S170 and induces nuclear accumulation of FBP1. Nuclear FBP1 inhibits PPARα-mediated β-oxidation gene transcription in normal lung epithelial cells. In contrast, highly expressed OGT in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells promotes FBP1 O-GlcNAcylation, which abrogates FBP1 phosphorylation and enhances β-oxidation gene transcription to support cell proliferation under glutamine deficiency. In addition, FBP1 pS170 is negatively correlated with OGT expression in human NSCLC specimens, and low expression of FBP1 pS170 is associated with poor prognosis in NSCLC patients. These findings highlight the differential regulation of FBP1 in normal and NSCLC cells under glutamine deprivation and underscore the potential to target nuclear FBP1 for NSCLC treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Survival rates for women with metastatic cervical cancer (CC) are low, with limited management options. Radiation therapy (RT) for metastatic disease has led to prolonged survival in other malignancies, however, the data are scarce in CC. Herein, we evaluated the effect of RT for metastatic CC. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 58 patients with metastatic CC between September 2019 and January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were treated with platinum-based chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy or immunotherapy followed with or without RT (NRT). The recent efficacy, survival status and prognostic factors were analyzed statistically. RESULTS Objective response rate (ORR) was 63.6% with one complete and twenty partial responses in RT group (n = 33) and 40.0% with two complete and eight partial responses in NRT group (n = 25), respectively (p = 0.074). Disease control rate (DCR) of the RT and NRT groups were 79.4% vs 80.0%, respectively (p = 0.861). Median follow-up time was 17 months (3-39months). In RT group, 11(33.3%) patients experienced local regional or distant failure and 9 (27.3%) patients were dead. In NRT group, 15(60%) patients had progression and 8 (32%) patients dead. There was no significant difference between the two groups in overall survival (OS); however, RT group displayed superior progression-free survival (PFS) (1-year OS: 72.7% vs. 68.0%, p = 0.460; 1-year PFS: 66.7% vs. 40.0%, p = 0.039). The multivariate analysis showed that RT, immunotherapy, lymph node metastasis only relevant predictor of superior PFS but not OS. In subgroup analysis, patients treated with RT appeared to have a better PFS in some specific cohorts, such as age>45 years (72.0% vs 36.4% P = 0.015), squamous carcinoma histology (71.0% vs 40.9% P = 0.017), metastatic at diagnosis (75.0% vs 47.6% P = 0.012), non-targeted therapy (72.4% vs 43.8% P = 0.040). No significant increase in treatment-related toxicity was observed in the RT group compared with the NRT group. CONCLUSION RT provided superior PFS in metastatic CC patients compared to NRT, and well tolerated. Moreover, RT, immunotherapy, lymph node metastasis only were independent significant prognostic factors for PFS. Subgroup analysis showed that combination of RT and chemotherapy obtained favorable PFS in metastatic CC patients with age>45 years, squamous carcinoma histology, metastatic at diagnosis, non-targeted therapy. Studies with a larger sample size and longer follow-up are warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Deep inspiratory breath holding (DIBH) has been widely used during the radiotherapy of thoracic tumors. The main disadvantage of voluntary DIBH is the short duration of each breath hold. The hypocapnia induced by hyperoxia (oxygen concentration > 50%) pre-oxygenation (PreO2) combined with mechanical hyperventilation has been reported to prolong the duration of single breath hold, but its safety remains controversial, especially the sensitivity of lung tissue to radiation damage under hyperoxia exposure has not been elucidated. In this study, we aim to investigate the changes of radiation induced lung injury in rats after PreO2 radiation. MATERIALS/METHODS We evaluated the lung tissue of rats at different time points (48h, 2w, 4w, 8w, 12w) after thoracic radiation (15Gy single fraction to the right lung), and sequenced the transcriptome of lung tissue at 48 hours after irradiation. Rat cohorts (n = 7/group): 1. Control (Con); 2. Radiation group (RT); 3. Pre-oxygenation (oxygen concentration > 90%) for 8 hours before thoracic radiation (PreO2). RESULTS The inflammatory exudation emerged in the pulmonary interstitium at 48 hours, and reached the most serious alveolitis after four weeks of irradiation (the comparison of alveolitis scores in RT4w vs Con4w and PreO2(4w) vs Con4w, P<0.001) on hematoxylin-eosin staining. While the alveolitis scores in RT group and PreO2 group were not statistically different at each time point. Masson staining showed that the pulmonary fibrosis in the RT group and the PreO2 group reached an obvious pathological change at 12 weeks after irradiation, but the difference between the two groups was not significant. Transcriptome sequencing showed that the number of differential genes in PreO2 vs Con was 559 (302 up-regulated genes and 257 down-regulated genes). The GO enrichment analysis indicated that chromosome segregation was the most significant functional item with P value in the comparative analysis, and the KEGG enrichment analysis suggested that cell division was the most significant enrichment pathway of these differential genes. While there was a small quantity of differential genes in PreO2 vs RT group (3 up-regulated genes and 12 down-regulated genes). Pentose and glucuronate conversions were the most significant enrichment pathway of these differential genes. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that PreO2 radiotherapy did not increase the severity of radiation induced lung injury in rats compared to conventional radiotherapy. Further study should be conducted to confirm these results and to investigate the regulatory mechanism of pneumonia caused by PreO2 radiotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The delineation of primary gross tumor volume (GTV) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an essential step for radiotherapy planning. In clinical practice, radiation oncologists manually delineate the GTV in planning CT with the help of diagnostic MRI. This is because NPC tumors are closely adjacent to many important anatomic structures, and CT and MRI provide complementary strength to accurately determine the tumor extension boundary. Manual delineation is time-consuming with the potential registration errors between MRI and CT decreasing the delineation accuracy. In this study, we propose a fully automated GTV segmentation method based on CT and MRI by first aligning MRI to CT, and then, segmenting the GTV using a multi-modality deep learning model. MATERIALS/METHODS We collected 104 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with both planning CT and diagnostic MRI scans (T1 & T2 phases). An experienced radiation oncologists manually delineated the GTV, which was further examined by another senior radiation oncologist. Then, a coarse to fine cross-modality registration from MRI to CT was conducted as follows: (1) A rigid transformation was performed on MRI to roughly align MRI to CT with similar anatomic position. (2) Then, the region of interest (RoI) on both CT and rigid-transformed MRI were cropped. (3) A leading cross-modality deformable registration algorithm, named DEEDS, was applied on the cropped MRI and CT RoIs to find an accurate local alignment. Next, using CT and registered MRI as the combined input, a multi-modality deep segmentation network based on nnUNet was trained to generate the GTV prediction. 20% patients were randomly selected as the unseen testing set to quantitatively evaluate the performance. RESULTS The quantitative NPC GTV segmentation performance is summarized in Table 1. The deep segmentation model using CT alone achieved reasonable high performance with 76.6% Dice score and 1.34mm average surface distance (ASD). When both CT and registered MRI were used, the segmentation model further improved the performance by 0.9% Dice score increase and 11% relative ASD error reduction, demonstrating the complementary strength of CT and MRI in determining NPC GTV. Notably, the achieved 77.5% Dice score and 1.19mm ASD by the multimodality model is among the top performing results reported in recent automatic NPC GTV segmentation using either CT or MRI modality. CONCLUSION We developed a fully automated multi-modal deep-learning model for NPC GTV segmentation. The developed model can segment the NPC GTV in high accuracy. With further optimization and validation, this automated model has potential to standardize the NPC GTV segmentation and significantly decrease the workload of radiation oncologists in clinical practice.

Abstract
Classical swine fever (CSF) is a severe infectious disease caused by the classical swine fever virus (CSFV) that poses significant challenges to the swine industry. α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH), the first rate-limiting enzyme of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, catalyzes α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) to succinyl-CoA, playing a crucial role in glycometabolism. Our previous studies showed that CSFV disrupts the TCA cycle, resulting in α-KG accumulation. However, the interplay between CSFV and OGDH remains unclear. In this study, we found that CSFV significantly reduces OGDH protein levels and promotes α-KG secretion through OGDH in PK-15 cells. Furthermore, we observed CSFV C protein interacts with OGDH and revealed that CSFV utilizes NDP52/NBR1 to target OGDH protein degradation in the autophagy-lysosome pathway. We also unveiled that OGDH overexpression inhibits CSFV proliferation, whereas OGDH knockdown increases CSFV proliferation. Further investigation into the mechanisms of OGDH on CSFV replication revealed that OGDH regulates the AMPK-mTOR-autophagy pathway. Additionally, using the autophagy agonist/inhibitor, rapamycin/3-MA, we observed that OGDH modulates autophagy to regulate the IRF3-IFN-β network and CSFV replication. These findings shed light on the role of OGDH in CSFV infection and host metabolism, promoting the development of innovative strategies for combating CSFV and other viral infections via targeting metabolic pathways.

The mechanism of copper death gene regulating immune infiltration in diabetes has not been studied. METHODS Download microarray data from healthy normal and diabetic patients from the GEO database. The identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was analyzed by gene enrichment. Using String online database and Cytoscape software to interact with the protein interaction network and make visual analysis. Using Wilcox analyze the correlation between the copoer death gene and diabetic mellitus. Analysis of the correlation between immune penetration cells and functions, and the difference between the diabetes group and the control group, screening the copper death gene associated with diabetes, and predicting the upper top of microRNA (miRNA) through the Funrich software. RESULTS According to the identification of differential genes in 25 samples of GSE25724 and GSE95849 data sets, 328 differential genes were identified by consensus, including 190 up-regulated genes and 138 down-regulated genes (log2FC = 2, P < .01). KEGG results showed that neurodegeneration-multiple disease pathways were most significantly upregulated, followed by Huntington disease. According to Cytohubba, the TOP10 genes HCK, FPR1, MNDA, AQP9, TLR8, CXCR1, CSF3R, VNN2, TLR4, and CCR5 are down-regulated genes, which are mostly enriched in neutrophils. Immunoinfiltration-related heat maps show that Macrophage was strongly positively correlated with Activated dendritic cell, Mast cell, Neutrophil, and Regulatory T cell showed a strong positive correlation. Neutrophil was strongly positively correlated with Activated dendritic cell, Mast cell, and Regulatory T cell. Differential analysis of immune infiltration showed that Neutroph, Mast cell, Activated B cell, Macrophage and Eosinophil were significantly increased in the diabetic group. Central memory CD4 T cell (P < .001), Plasmacytoid dendritic cell, Immature dendritic cell, and Central memory CD8 T cell, etal were significantly decreased. DBT, SLC31A1, ATP7A, LIAS, ATP7B, PDHA1, DLST, PDHB, GCSH, LIPT1, DLD, FDX1, and DLAT genes were significantly associated with one or more cells and their functions in immune invasion. Forty-one miRNA. CONCLUSIONS Copper death is closely related to the occurrence of diabetes. Copper death genes may play an important role in the immune infiltration of diabetes.

Abstract
Temozolomide (TMZ) is a standard treatment for glioblastoma (GBM) patients. However, TMZ has moderate therapeutic effects due to chemoresistance of GBM cells through less clarified mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that TMZ-derived 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide (AICA) is converted to AICA ribosyl-5-phosphate (AICAR) in GBM cells. This conversion is catalyzed by hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase 1 (HPRT1), which is highly expressed in human GBMs. As the bona fide activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), TMZ-derived AICAR activates AMPK to phosphorylate threonine 52 (T52) of RRM1, the catalytic subunit of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), leading to RNR activation and increased production of dNTPs to fuel the repairment of TMZ-induced-DNA damage. RRM1 T52A expression, genetic interruption of HPRT1-mediated AICAR production, or administration of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), a clinically approved inhibitor of HPRT1, blocks TMZ-induced AMPK activation and sensitizes brain tumor cells to TMZ treatment in mice. In addition, HPRT1 expression levels are positively correlated with poor prognosis in GBM patients who received TMZ treatment. These results uncover a critical bifunctional role of TMZ in GBM treatment that leads to chemoresistance. Our findings underscore the potential of combined administration of clinically available 6-MP to overcome TMZ chemoresistance and improve GBM treatment.

Abstract
Tumor cells often overexpress immune checkpoint proteins, including CD47, for immune evasion. However, whether or how oncogenic activation of receptor tyrosine kinases, which are crucial drivers in tumor development, regulates CD47 expression is unknown. Here, it is demonstrated that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation induces CD47 expression by increasing the binding of c-Src to CD47, leading to c-Src-mediated CD47 Y288 phosphorylation. This phosphorylation inhibits the interaction between the ubiquitin E3 ligase TRIM21 and CD47, thereby abrogating TRIM21-mediated CD47 K99/102 polyubiquitylation and CD47 degradation. Knock-in expression of CD47 Y288F reduces CD47 expression, increases macrophage phagocytosis of tumor cells, and inhibits brain tumor growth in mice. In contrast, knock-in expression of CD47 K99/102R elicits the opposite effects compared to CD47 Y288F expression. Importantly, CD47-SIRPα blockade with an anti-CD47 antibody treatment significantly enhances EGFR-targeted cancer therapy. In addition, CD47 expression levels in human glioblastoma (GBM) specimens correlate with EGFR and c-Src activation and aggravation of human GBM. These findings elucidate a novel mechanism underlying CD47 upregulation in EGFR-activated tumor cells and underscore the role of the EGFR-c-Src-TRIM21-CD47 signaling axis in tumor evasion and the potential to improve the current cancer therapy with a combination of CD47 blockade with EGFR-targeted remedy.

Abstract
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a kind of lymphocytes that reside in the tissue and have an essential function in the immune microenvironment. However, the relationship between endometriosis (EMS) and ILCs is complex and not fully understood. This study examines several groups of ILCs in the peripheral blood (PB), peritoneal fluid (PF) and endometrium of patients with EMS via flow cytometry. The study observed an increase in PB ILCs, particularly ILC2s and ILCregs subsets and Arg1+ILC2s in the EMS patients were highly activated. EMS patients had significantly higher levels of serum interleukin (IL)-10/33/25 compared to controls. We also found an elevation of Arg1+ILC2s in the PF and higher levels of ILC2s and ILCregs in ectopic endometrium compared with eutopic. Importantly, a positive correlation was observed between the enrichment of Arg1+ILC2s and ILCregs in the PB of EMS patients. The findings indicate that the involvement of Arg1+ILC2s and ILCregs fosters potentially endometriosis progression.

Abstract
IscU2 is a scaffold protein that is critical for the assembly of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters and the functions of Fe-S-containing mitochondrial proteins. However, the role of IscU2 in tumor development remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated that IscU2 expression is much higher in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tissues than in adjacent normal pancreatic tissues. In PDAC cells, activated KRAS enhances the c-Myc-mediated IscU2 transcription. The upregulated IscU2 stabilizes Fe-S cluster and regulates the activity of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzymes α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) dehydrogenase and aconitase 2, which promote α-KG catabolism through oxidative and reductive TCA cycling, respectively. In addition to promoting mitochondrial functions, activated KRAS-induced and IscU2-dependent acceleration of α-KG catabolism results in reduced α-KG levels in the cytosol and nucleus, leading to an increase in DNA 5mC due to Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 3 (TET3) inhibition and subsequent expression of genes including DNA polymerase alpha 1 catalytic subunit for PDAC cell proliferation and tumor growth in mice. These findings underscore a critical role of IscU2 in KRAS-promoted α-KG catabolism, 5mC-dependent gene expression, and PDAC growth and highlight the instrumental and integrated regulation of mitochondrial functions and gene expression by IscU2 in PDAC cells.

Abstract
Automatic coronary artery stenosis grading plays an important role in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Due to the difficulty of learning the informative features from varying grades of stenosis, it is still a challenging task to identify coronary artery stenosis from coronary CT angiography (CCTA). In this paper, we propose a context-aware deep network (CADN) for coronary artery stenosis classification. The proposed method integrates 3D CNN with Transformer to improve the feature representation of coronary artery stenosis in CCTA. We evaluate the proposed method on a multicenter dataset (APOLLO study with NCT05509010). Experimental results show that our proposed method can achieve the accuracy of 0.84, 0.83, and 0.86 for stenosis diagnosis on the lesion, artery, and patient levels, respectively.

Abstract
Immune therapies targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway have been employed in the treatment of breast cancer, which requires aerobic glycolysis to sustain breast cancer cells growth. However, whether PD-L1 expression is regulated by glycolysis in breast cancer cells remains to be further elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that glycolytic enzyme hexokinase 2 (HK2) plays a crucial role in upregulating PD-L1 expression. Under high glucose conditions, HK2 acts as a protein kinase and phosphorylates IκBα at T291 in breast cancer cells, leading to the rapid degradation of IκBα and activation of NF-κB, which enters the nucleus and promotes PD-L1 expression. Immunohistochemistry staining of human breast cancer specimens and bioinformatics analyses reveals a positive correlation between HK2 and PD-L1 expression levels, which are inversely correlated with immune cell infiltration and survival time of breast cancer patients. These findings uncover the intrinsic and instrumental connection between aerobic glycolysis and PD-L1 expression-mediated tumor cell immune evasion and underscore the potential to target the protein kinase activity of HK2 for breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Activation of receptor protein kinases is prevalent in various cancers with unknown impact on ferroptosis. Here we demonstrated that AKT activated by insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor signalling phosphorylates creatine kinase B (CKB) T133, reduces metabolic activity of CKB and increases CKB binding to glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Importantly, CKB acts as a protein kinase and phosphorylates GPX4 S104. This phosphorylation prevents HSC70 binding to GPX4, thereby abrogating the GPX4 degradation regulated by chaperone-mediated autophagy, alleviating ferroptosis and promoting tumour growth in mice. In addition, the levels of GPX4 are positively correlated with the phosphorylation levels of CKB T133 and GPX4 S104 in human hepatocellular carcinoma specimens and associated with poor prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. These findings reveal a critical mechanism by which tumour cells counteract ferroptosis by non-metabolic function of CKB-enhanced GPX4 stability and underscore the potential to target the protein kinase activity of CKB for cancer treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE We explored risk variables associated with cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) and created a network dynamic nomogram model to predict patient survival time. METHODS A total of 7750 patients with PNENs were included in this analysis, including 134 with functional PNENs and 7616 with nonfunctional PNENs. Clinical feature and prognosis differences between functional and nonfunctional PNENs were compared. Independent prognostic factors affecting CSS were analyzed by univariate and multifactorial Cox regression. Nomogram and web-based prognosis prediction of PNENs were developed and validated by C indices, decision curve analysis, and calibration plots. RESULTS Patients with functional PNENs were younger at diagnosis than those with nonfunctional PNENs. Functional PNENs had better prognoses than nonfunctional PNENs (5-year survival rates: 78.55% and 71.10%, respectively). Univariate and multifactorial Cox regression analyses showed that tumor infiltration (T), nodal metastasis (N), metastasis (M), tumor site, differentiation grade, age, marital status, and surgical treatment were independent prognostic risk factors for CSS, which were included in the prognostic nomogram and web-based prognosis calculator. The calibration plots and decision curve analysis showed that the nomogram had excellent prediction and clinical practical ability. The C indices for CSS in the training and validation cohorts were 0.848 (95% CI 0.838-0.8578) and 0.823 (95% CI 0.807-0.839), respectively. We scored all patients according to the nomogram and divided patients into three different risk groups. The prognosis of the low-risk population was significantly better than those of the middle- and high-risk populations based on Kaplan-Meier survival curve. CONCLUSION We analyzed the clinical features of PNENs and developed a convenient and web dynamic nomogram to predict CSS.

Abstract
Aberrantly upregulated choline phospholipid metabolism is a novel emerging hallmark of cancer, and choline kinase α (CHKα), a key enzyme for phosphatidylcholine production, is overexpressed in many types of human cancer through undefined mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that the expression levels of the glycolytic enzyme enolase-1 (ENO1) are positively correlated with CHKα expression levels in human glioblastoma specimens and that ENO1 tightly governs CHKα expression via posttranslational regulation. Mechanistically, we reveal that both ENO1 and the ubiquitin E3 ligase TRIM25 are associated with CHKα. Highly expressed ENO1 in tumor cells binds to I199/F200 of CHKα, thereby abrogating the interaction between CHKα and TRIM25. This abrogation leads to the inhibition of TRIM25-mediated polyubiquitylation of CHKα at K195, increased stability of CHKα, enhanced choline metabolism in glioblastoma cells, and accelerated brain tumor growth. In addition, the expression levels of both ENO1 and CHKα are associated with poor prognosis in glioblastoma patients. These findings highlight a critical moonlighting function of ENO1 in choline phospholipid metabolism and provide unprecedented insight into the integrated regulation of cancer metabolism by crosstalk between glycolytic and lipidic enzymes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The underlying mechanisms of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have not been fully investigated, and effective biomarkers for HCC are still needed to be explored. Therefore, our study sought to thoroughly examine the clinical significance and biological functions of the ribosomal protein L32 (RPL32) in HCC by coupling bioinformatic methods with experimental analysis. METHODS To determine the clinical significance of RPL32, bioinformatic analyses were performed to examine RPL32 expression in HCC patient samples and to correlate RPL32 expression and HCC patient survival rates, genetic alterations, and immune cell infiltration. Cell counting kit-8 assays, colony formation, flow cytometry, and transwell assays were performed to examine the effects of RPL32 on HCC cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion in HCC cell lines (SMMC-7721 and SK-HEP-1) where RPL32 was silenced using small interfering ribonucleic acid. RESULTS In the current study, we show that RPL32 was highly expressed in HCC samples. Moreover, high levels of RPL32 were associated with unfavorable outcomes in patients with HCC. Promoter methylation and copy number variation of RPL32 were associated with RPL32 mRNA expression. Results from the RPL32 silencing experiments indicated that the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of SMMC-7721 and SK-HEP-1 cells were attenuated upon RPL32 depletion. CONCLUSION RPL32 correlates with a favorable prognosis in patients with HCC and promotes the survival, migration, and invasion of HCC cells.

Abstract
Emerging discoveries about undocumented acyltransferase activities of known histone acetyltransferases (HATs) advance our understandings in the regulation of histone modifications. However, the molecular basis of HATs selecting acyl coenzyme A (acyl-CoA) substrates for histone modification is less known. We here report that lysine acetyltransferase 2A (KAT2A) as an illustrative instance of HATs can selectively utilize acetyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, butyryl-CoA, and succinyl-CoA to directly deposit 18 histone acylation hallmarks in nucleosome. By analyzing the co-crystal structures of the catalytic domain of KAT2A in complex with acetyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, butyryl-CoA, malonyl-CoA, succinyl-CoA, and glutaryl-CoA, we conclude that the alternative substrate-binding pocket of KAT2A and the length and electrostatic features of the acyl chain cooperatively determine the selection of the acyl-CoA substrates by KAT2A. This study reveals the molecular basis underlying the pluripotency of HATs that selectively install acylation hallmarks in nucleosomes, which might serve as instrumental mechanism to precisely regulate histone acylation profiles in cells.

Abstract
The protection of DNA replication forks under stress is essential for genome maintenance and cancer suppression. One mechanism of fork protection involves an elevation in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), which in turn activates CaMKK2 and AMPK to prevent uncontrolled fork processing by Exo1. How replication stress triggers [Ca2+]i elevation is unclear. Here, we report a role of cytosolic self-DNA (cytosDNA) and the ion channel TRPV2 in [Ca2+]i induction and fork protection. Replication stress leads to the generation of ssDNA and dsDNA species that, upon translocation into cytoplasm, trigger the activation of the sensor protein cGAS and the production of cGAMP. The subsequent binding of cGAMP to STING causes its dissociation from TRPV2, leading to TRPV2 derepression and Ca2+ release from the ER, which in turn activates the downstream signaling cascade to prevent fork degradation. This Ca2+-dependent genome protection pathway is also activated in response to replication stress caused by oncogene activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) reflect the carbon supply status and affect the construction and development of plants. Previous studies have focused on the dynamics of NSCs among plant organs, however, few studies have paid attention to the synergistic variations between fine root traits and NSCs under drought based on the perspective of branch order roots. This study aims to explore the responses of fine root traits and NSCs among root orders of Juglans mandshurica seedlings under different drought intensities and soil substrates. The 2-year-old J. mandshurica potted seedlings were planted in three different soil substrates (humus, loam and sandy-loam soil) and subjected to four drought intensities (CK, mild drought T1, moderate drought T2 and severe drought T3) for 60 days. RESULTS The root biomass of seedlings in sandy-loam soil under the same drought intensity was higher than that of seedlings in humus soil. With an increase in drought, the root biomass, average diameter, root tissue density and cortex thickness decreased significantly, and the specific root length, stele diameter and conduit density increased. The root NSC contents in humus soil were higher than those in sandy-loam soil. The fine root soluble sugar content in all soil substrates decreased with increasing drought intensity, while the root starch and total NSC contents varied among the different soil substrates. Compared with transportive roots, the morphological and anatomical traits jointly explained the higher variation in NSC contents of the absorptive roots. The anatomical traits explained the higher variation in the NSC content of first five order roots. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that coordinated adaptation of the root traits and NSCs of Manchurian walnut seedlings exposed to water gradients in different soil substrates.

Abstract
Our and other researchers' previous studies found that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) were increased, and these MDSCs, supposed to play immunosuppressive roles, showed significant pro-inflammatory effects in Sjögren's syndrome (SS). However, the key factors and potential mechanisms leading MDSCs to be inflammatory remain unclear. In this study, we found that MDSCs from SS patients were positively correlated with the percentages of Th17 cells, disease activity and serum autoantibodies, and showed higher levels of Fc gamma receptor (FcγR) IIIA and glycolysis. Most importantly, SS MDSCs or heat-aggregated IgG (HAIG)-treated MDSCs down-regulated Th1/Th2 ratio and up-regulated Th17/Treg ratio, which could be obviously rescued by IgG monomer or glycolysis inhibitor 2-DG. As well, the levels of FcγRIV and glycolysis in MDSCs and the ratio of Th17/Treg were increased, and the ratio of Th1/Th2 was decreased in SS-like NOD mice. Our study indicated that MDSCs showed pro-inflammatory phenotypes by disturbing CD4+ T-cell balances in SS. The pro-inflammatory effects of MDSCs might be directly linked to the enhanced glycolysis mediated by FcγRIIIA activation.

Abstract
Glucose metabolism is indispensable for cell growth and survival. Hexokinases play pivotal roles in glucose metabolism through canonical functions of hexokinases as well as in immune response, cell stemness, autophagy, and other cellular activities through noncanonical functions. The aberrant regulation of hexokinases contributes to the development and progression of pathologies, including cancer and immune diseases.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to investigate the association between residential greenness and MetS in older Chinese adults. METHODS Longitudinal data on sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle were collected from the Shenzhen Healthy Ageing Research (SHARE) cohort. Greenness exposure was assessed through satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values in the 250-m, 500-m, and 1250-m radius around the residential address for each participant. MetS was defined by standard guidelines for the Chinese population. RESULTS A total of 49,893 older Chinese adults with a mean age of 70.96 (SD = 5.26) years were included in the study. In the fully adjusted models, participants who lived in the highest quartile of NDVI250-m, NDVI500-m, and NDVI1250-m had a 15% (odds ratio, OR = 0.85, 95% confidence interval, CI: 0.80-0.90), 12% (OR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.83-0.93), and 11% (OR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.85-0.95) lower incidence of MetS, respectively, than those living in the lowest quartile (all p-trend < 0.01). Interactions and subgroup analyses showed that age, sex, smoking status, and drinking status were significant effect modifiers (p-interaction for all NDVI < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Residential greenness is associated with a lower risk of MetS in Chinese older adults, especially for young older adults, females, non-smokers, and non-drinkers.

Abstract
Impairment of the circadian clock is linked to cancer development. However, whether the circadian clock is modulated by oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases remains unclear. Here we demonstrated that receptor tyrosine kinase activation promotes CK2-mediated CLOCK S106 phosphorylation and subsequent disassembly of the CLOCK-BMAL1 dimer and suppression of the downstream gene expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. In addition, CLOCK S106 phosphorylation exposes its nuclear export signal to bind Exportin1 for nuclear exportation. Cytosolic CLOCK acetylates PRPS1/2 K29 and blocks HSC70-mediated and lysosome-dependent PRPS1/2 degradation. Stabilized PRPS1/2 promote de novo nucleotide synthesis and HCC cell proliferation and liver tumour growth. Furthermore, CLOCK S106 phosphorylation and PRPS1/2 K29 acetylation are positively correlated in human HCC specimens and with HCC poor prognosis. These findings delineate a critical mechanism by which oncogenic signalling inhibits canonical CLOCK transcriptional activity and simultaneously confers CLOCK with instrumental moonlighting functions to promote nucleotide synthesis and tumour growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Excision repair cross-complementation group 6 like (ERCC6L), a polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1)-interacting checkpoint helicase, confers a high risk of cancer and enhances the progression of a variety of cancers. The present investigation aimed to elucidate the pan-cancer expression patterns of ERCC6L and to examine the possibility of using this gene for patient diagnosis and prognosis. METHODS The expression patterns of ERCC6L in normal and cancer patients at various clinical stages were explored based on TCGA datasets. Subsequently, Bioinformatics techniques were then used to analyze patient's survival probabilities, Cox multivariate clinical parameters, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) terms related to ERCC6L, the correlation between mRNA expression levels and patient survival, genetic alterations or somatic mutations of ERCC6L, and immune infiltration. RESULTS Most cancer types had higher ERCC6L mRNA levels than normal tissue. Higher ERCC6L expression levels were correlated with poor prognosis for cancer patients. Thus, ERCC6L may serve as an effective diagnostic and prognostic marker for multiple cancers. Moreover, ERCC6L expression levels were higher in patients with higher clinical tumor grades and were associated with poor prognoses at these stages. GO and KEGG analyses revealed a correlation between ERCC6L expression levels and chromatin and cell cycle events. We also found that the mRNA expression level of the ERCC6L promoter and a favorable prognosis was negatively correlated with the promoter's methylation but not with copy number variation. A quantitative analysis of immune infiltration suggested a positive correlation between ERCC6L levels and the infiltration of Th2 immune cells in main cancer types. Finally, we examined the ERCC6L somatic mutations, especially single-nucleotide variants, and ERCC6L expression-related drug sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS Herein, we reported a comprehensive investigation of the tumor-promoting role of ERCC6L in various cancer types. ERCC6L is a candidate biomarker for diagnosing and unfavorable prognosis of specific cancers.
