    Abstract Background: Centrosome aberration (CA) plays a vital role in tumorigenesis and metastasis under pathophysiological conditions. The existence of CA was first reported in uveal melanoma (UVM) recently. Our study aimed to investigate the association of centrosome-related genes with UVM prognosis.
    Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-UVM and Gene Expression Omnibus series (GSE) 22138 were included in the study. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and Cox regression were combined to screen out key genes and construct a centrosome-related gene signature. Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival curves were used to evaluate the survival differences between the 2 groups. Gene enrichment, immune infiltration, and mutation profile were used to explore the underlying mechanism.
    Results: A centrosome-related gene signature was constructed: Risk score =-3.27071 × MAP6 - 5.03735 × CCDC40 - 2.68459 × PRKCD + 1.826349 × IGFBP4 + 11.66582 × RAB6C - 4.86899 × CCND3. The survival possibilities of the two groups were significantly different. The high-risk group showed cancer progression, inflammation, and immune restriction characteristics when compared with the low-risk group. BAP1 mutation was associated with high risk and SF3B1 mutation was associated with low risk according to the signature.
    Conclusions: Our study first investigated the role of centrosome-related genes in UVM overall survival (OS). We then constructed a centrosome-related gene signature for UVM, which provides new insights into the role of CA in UVM and identifies novel centrosome-related biomarkers.

    Abstract The global prevalence of breast cancer necessitates the development of innovative prognostic markers and therapeutic strategies. This study investigated the prognostic implications of anoikis-related long non-coding RNAs (ARLs) in invasive breast cancer (IBC), which is an area that has not been extensively explored. By integrating the RNA sequence transcriptome and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and employing advanced regression analyses, we devised a novel prognostic model based on ARL scores. ARL scores correlated with diverse clinicopathological parameters, cellular pathways, distinct mutation patterns, and immune responses, thereby affecting both immune cell infiltration and anticipated responses to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Additionally, the overexpression of a specific lncRNA,

    Abstract Lichens are some of the most unique fungi and are naturally encountered as symbiotic biological organisms that usually consist of fungal partners (mycobionts) and photosynthetic organisms (green algae and cyanobacteria). Due to their distinctive growth environments, including hot deserts, rocky coasts, Arctic tundra, toxic slag piles, etc., they produce a variety of biologically meaningful and structurally novel secondary metabolites to resist external environmental stresses. The endofungi that live in and coevolve with lichens can also generate abundant secondary metabolites with novel structures, diverse skeletons, and intriguing bioactivities due to their mutualistic symbiosis with hosts, and they have been considered as strategically significant medicinal microresources for the discovery of pharmaceutical lead compounds in the medicinal industry. They are also of great importance in the fundamental research field of natural product chemistry. In this work, we conducted a comprehensive review and systematic evaluation of the secondary metabolites of endolichenic fungi regarding their origin, distribution, structural characteristics, and biological activity, as well as recent advances in their medicinal applications, by summarizing research achievements since 2015. Moreover, the current research status and future research trends regarding their chemical components are discussed and predicted. A systematic review covering the fundamental chemical research advances and pharmaceutical potential of the secondary metabolites from endolichenic fungi is urgently required to facilitate our better understanding, and this review could also serve as a critical reference to provide valuable insights for the future research and promotion of natural products from endolichenic fungi.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the effects of finerenone and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and the relative cardiovascular benefits in patients with or without established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease for different outcomes with these classes of drugs.
    Methods: We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase from January 1, 2000, to December 30, 2022, to identify randomized controlled trials. The primary outcomes were the composite of nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, and cardiovascular death (MACE); hospitalization for heart failure (HHF); and a composite of renal outcomes. The results were reported as hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
    Results: In total, we identified 11 trials and 73,927 participants, 13,847 (18.7%) in finerenone trials and 60,080 (81.3%) in GLP1-RA trials. Finerenone reduced the risk of MACE by 13% (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.79-0.95; P = 0.003), while GLP1-RA reduced the risk in a similar magnitude by 13% (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.83-0.92; P < 0.001). For both drug classes, the effect on lowering the risk of MACE was restricted to approximately 14% in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.82-0.90; P < 0.001), whereas no effect was observed in patients without established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (HR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.85-1.02; P = 0.12). GLP1-RA reduced myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular death more than finerenone (which appeared to have no effect). Only finerenone was beneficial for reducing the risk of HHF (HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.66-0.92; P = 0.003). Both finerenone (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.77-0.92; P < 0.001) and GLP1-RA (HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.76-0.86; P < 0.001) reduced the risk of kidney disease progression, including macroalbuminuria, and finerenone was superior to GLP1-RA in delaying deterioration of kidney function.
    Conclusions: Finerenone and GLP1-RA lead to a risk reduction in MACE to a similar degree in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. For both drug classes, the effect on lowering the risk of progression of kidney disease was also in a similar magnitude in patients with T2DM, whereas only finerenone had a significant protective effect against HHF. Treatment decisions for patients with T2DM should consider the clinical benefit profiles of each drug.

    Abstract The role of the microbiome in immunotherapy has recently garnered substantial attention, with molecular studies and clinical trials providing emerging evidence on the pivotal influence of the microbiota in enhancing therapeutic outcomes via immune response modulation. However, the impact of microbial communities can considerably vary across individuals and different immunotherapeutic approaches, posing prominent challenges in harnessing their potential. In this comprehensive review, we outline the current research applications in tumor immunotherapy and delve into the possible mechanisms through which immune function is influenced by microbial communities in various body sites, encompassing those in the gut, extraintestinal barrier, and intratumoral environment. Furthermore, we discuss the effects of diverse microbiome-based strategies, including probiotics, prebiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and the targeted modulation of specific microbial taxa, and antibiotic treatments on cancer immunotherapy. All these strategies potentially have a profound impact on immunotherapy and pave the way for personalized therapeutic approaches and predictive biomarkers.

    Abstract Introduction: Jujube is one of an important crop in Xinjiang, China, a area suffered by water scarcity and DI has been proven as a suitable mode for jujube cultivation. Soil bacterial community play a vital role in biogeochemical cycles to support the crop growth, and water content is considered as one of the important factors for them. However, limited research has explored the optimum irrigation strategies, such as water volume of DI, to maximize the benefits of jujube cultivation by regulating the soil bacterial communities.
    Methods: Therefore, in this study, we conducted DI experiments on jujube fields in Xinjiang with three different water volume levels, and measured the soil properties and bacterial communities of the flowering and fruit setting (FFS) and end of growth (EG) stages.
    Results and discussion: Significant lower jujube yield and soil available nutrients were observed in samples with low water amount. In addition, we discovered significant effects of the water amount of DI and jujube growth stages on soil bacterial communities. Based on the compare of samples among different growth stages and water amounts some growth stage related bacterial genera (

    Abstract Abstract Bladder cancer, a prevalent and heterogeneous malignancy, necessitates the discovery of pertinent biomarkers to enable personalized treatment. The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), a pivotal regulator of cellular growth, metabolism, and immune response, exhibits activation in a subset of bladder cancer tumors. In this study, we explore the prognostic significance of mTORC1 signaling in bladder cancer through the utilization of bioinformatics analysis. Our investigation incorporates transcriptomic, somatic mutation, and clinical data, examining the mTORC1 score of each sample, as well as the enrichment of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), differentiation characteristics, immunological infiltration, and metabolic activity. Our findings reveal that elevated mTORC1 levels serve as an adverse prognostic indicator for bladder cancer patients, exhibiting a significant association with Basal-type bladder cancer. Patients with heightened mTORC1 activation display heightened levels of pro-carcinogenic metabolism. Additionally, these individuals demonstrate enhanced response to immunotherapy. Finally, we develop an mTORC1-related signature capable of predicting the prognosis of bladder cancer patients.The signature offers novel mTORC1-related biomarkers and provides fresh insights into the involvement of mTORC1 in the pathogenesis of bladder cancer.
