    Abstract Metastases originate from primary tumors and reach distant organs. Growing evidence suggests that metastases are under the control of primary tumors even outside the primary site; however, the mechanisms by which primary tumors remotely control metastases remain unclear. Here, we discovered a molecular mechanism by which primary tumors suppress metastatic growth. Interestingly, we found that extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from the primary tumor can inhibit the growth of metastases both in vitro and in vivo. miR-1 was particularly enriched in primary tumor-derived EVs (pTDEs) and was found to be responsible for the suppression of metastatic growth. Mechanistically, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and DNA damage were induced, which led to cell cycle arrest. Collectively, our data demonstrate that primary tumors restrict the growth of distant metastases via miR-1 in pTDEs and that miR-1 could potentially be used as an antimetastatic agent.

    Abstract Objective: This study focuses on identifying potential complications following oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) through routine magnetic resonance (MR) scans.
    Methods: From 650 patients who underwent OLIF from April 2018 to April 2022, this study included those with MR scans taken one-week post-operatively, and only for indirect decompression patients. The analysis evaluated postoperative MR images for hematoma, cage insertion angles, and indirect decompression efficiency. Patient demographics, post-operatively symptoms, and complications were also evaluated.
    Results: Out of 401 patients enrolled, most underwent 1- or 2-level OLIF. Common findings included approach site hematoma (65.3%) and contralateral psoas hematoma (19%). The caudal level OLIF was related with less orthogonality and deep insertion of cage. Incomplete indirect decompression occurred in 4.66% of cases but did not require additional surgery. Rare but symptomatic complications included remnant disc rupture (4 cases, 1%) and synovial cyst rupture (4 cases, 1%).
    Conclusion: This study has identified potential complications associated with OLIF, including approach site hematoma, contralateral psoas hematoma, cage malposition risk at caudal levels, and radiologically insufficient indirect decompression. Additionally, it highlights rare, yet symptomatic complications such as remnant disc rupture and synovial cyst rupture. These findings contribute insights into the relatively under-explored area of OLIF complications.

    Abstract Chemokines have been well-documented as a major factor in immune cell migration and the regulation of immune responses. However, recent studies have reported that chemokines have diverse roles, both in immune cells and other cell types, including adipocytes. This study investigated the molecular functions of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5) in white adipose cells using Cxcl5 knock-out (KO) mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). The expression of Cxcl5 decreased by 90% during adipocyte differentiation and remained at a low level in mature adipocytes. Moreover, adipogenesis was enhanced when adipocytes were differentiated from the stromal vascular fraction (SFV) of Cxcl5 KO mice. Feeding an HFD increased the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and promoted abnormal adipogenesis in Cxcl5 KO mice. Oxidative stress and insulin resistance occurred in Cxcl5 KO mice due to decreased antioxidant enzymes and failure to remove ROS. These results indicate the principal roles of CXCL5 in adipogenesis and ROS regulation in adipose tissue, further suggesting that CXCL5 is a valuable chemokine for metabolic disease research.

    Abstract The association of RNA modification in cancer has recently been highlighted. Methyltransferase like 8 (METTL8) is an enzyme and its role in mRNA m3C modification has barely been studied. In this study, we found that METTL8 expression was significantly up-regulated in canine mammary tumor and investigated its functional roles in the tumor process, including cancer cell proliferation and migration. METTL8 expression was up-regulated in most human breast cancer cell lines tested and decreased by Yin Yang 1 (YY1) transcription factor knockdown, suggesting that YY1 is a regulating transcription factor. The knockdown of METTL8 attenuated tumor cell growth and strongly blocked tumor cell migration. AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) was identified as a candidate mRNA by METTL8. ARID1A mRNA binds to METTL8 protein. ARID1A mRNA expression was not changed by METTL8 knockdown, but ARID1A protein level was significantly increased. Collectively, our study indicates that METTL8 up-regulated by YY1 in breast cancer plays an important role in cancer cell migration through the mRNA modification of ARID1A, resulting in the attenuation of its translation.

    Abstract Background: Genome-wide dysregulation of CpG methylation accompanies tumor progression and characteristic states of cancer cells, prompting a rationale for biomarker development. Understanding how the archetypic epigenetic modification determines systemic contributions of immune cell types is the key to further clinical benefits.
    Results: In this study, we characterized the differential DNA methylome landscapes of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 76 canines using methylated CpG-binding domain sequencing (MBD-seq). Through gene set enrichment analysis, we discovered that genes involved in the growth and differentiation of T- and B-cells are highly methylated in tumor PBMCs. We also revealed the increased methylation at single CpG resolution and reversed expression in representative marker genes regulating immune cell proliferation (BACH2, SH2D1A, TXK, UHRF1). Furthermore, we utilized the PBMC methylome to effectively differentiate between benign and malignant tumors and the presence of mammary gland tumors through a machine-learning approach.
    Conclusions: This research contributes to a better knowledge of the comprehensive epigenetic regulation of circulating immune cells responding to tumors and suggests a new framework for identifying benign and malignant cancers using genome-wide methylome.

    Abstract Quantum-dot (QDs) polymer composite films, which are key components in recent display applications, require improved photoluminescence (PL) intensity and color conversion efficiency for better display quality and low power consumption. In this study, we developed a novel approach to improve the photoluminescence (PL) of quantum dot (QDs)–polymer nanocomposite films. This was achieved by incorporating CO₂ micropores and scattering particles into QD-embedded photopolymerizable polymer films. CO₂ micropores were generated by the decomposition of KHCO₃ in the film. The CO₂ micropores, along with the partially decomposed KHCO₃ microparticles, act as a scattering medium that increases the photon absorbance and improves the PL intensity. The effect of KHCO₃ annealing temperature on various optical properties is investigated, and it is found that a large number of uniform micropores are created in the film at an optimal temperature, 110 ℃. Compared to an ordinary QD-polymer film, the PL of the QD-hybrid-foamed polymer film increases by 4.2 times. This method is fast and economically efficient, and provides insights into the design of high-performance optoelectronic devices.

    Abstract Injured tissue triggers complex interactions through biological process associated with keratins. Rapid recovery is most important for protection against secondary infection and inflammatory pain. For rapid wound healing with minimal pain and side effects, shilajit has been used as an ayurvedic medicine. However, the mechanisms of rapid wound closure are unknown. Here, we found that shilajit induced wound closure in an acute wound model and induced migration in skin explant cultures through evaluation of transcriptomics via microarray testing. In addition, ferulic acid (FA), as a bioactive compound, induced migration via modulation of keratin 6α (K6α) and inhibition of β-catenin in primary keratinocytes of skin explant culture and injured full-thickness skin, because accumulation of β-catenin into the nucleus acts as a negative regulator and disturbs migration in human epidermal keratinocytes. Furthermore, FA alleviated wound-induced inflammation via activation of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) at the wound edge. These findings show that FA is a novel therapeutic agent for wound healing that acts via inhibition of β-catenin in keratinocytes and by activation of Nrf2 in wound-induced inflammation.

    Abstract The effects of benzalkonium chloride (BC) as a cationic surfactant on the mechanical, water barrier, microstructural, and thermal properties of adlay millet starch (AS) films were investigated in this study. With increasing BC concentration, tensile strength (from 5.93 to 6.15 MPa) and elongation at break (from 41.39 to 45.48%) of AS-BC films significantly increased, whereas their moisture content, water solubility, and water vapor permeability were reduced, indicating water resistance improvement. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that BC at concentrations below 1% did not cause noticeable changes in the microstructure of AS-BC films. In addition, the thermal stability of AS-BC films was not affected by BC, indicating good miscibility between AS and BC. Therefore, BC could improve the physicochemical properties of starch films, and AS-BC films developed in this study can be applied as novel biodegradable packaging materials in the food packaging industry.
