    Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a high incidence, and current treatments are ineffective. We aimed to explore potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for HCC by conducting bioinformatics analysis on genomic and proteomic data.
    Methods: Genome and proteome data were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and ProteomeXchange databases, respectively. Differentially expressed genes was determined using limma package. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted by Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). Protein-protein analysis was established by STRING dataset. Using Cytoscope for network visualization and CytoHubba for hub gene identification. The gene mRNA and protein levels were validated using GEPIA and HPA, as well as RT-qPCR and Western blot.
    Results: A total of 127 up-regulated and 80 down-regulated common DEGPs were identified between the genomic and proteomic data, Mining 10 key genes/proteins(ACLY, ACACB, EPRS, CAD, HSPA4, ACACA, MTHFD1, DMGDH, ALDH2, and GLDC) through protein interaction networks. in addition, Glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase (EPRS) was highlighted as an HCC biomarker that is negatively correlated with survival. Differential EPRS expression analysis in HCC and paracancerous tissues showed that EPRS expression was elevated in HCC. RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis results showed that EPRS expression was upregulated in HCC cells.
    Conclusions: Our results suggest that EPRS is a potential therapeutic target for inhibiting HCC tumorigenesis and progression.

    Abstract Diseases, such as bone nonunion with bone defects, osteoporosis, etc, seriously endanger people's quality of life, and bone tissue engineering based on mesenchymal stem cells is an effective method to solve such problems. Several studies have shown that BMP9 can effectively promote osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unclear. Gli1 and Gli2 were important transcription factors and play an important role in the Hedgehog signaling pathway. In this study, we investigated the role of Gli1 and Gli2 in BMP9-induced osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. We found that inhibition of Gli1 and Gli2 weakened BMP9-induced osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, and early osteogenic markers (alkaline phosphatase, ALP), late osteogenic markers (calcium salt deposition), the expression of pivotal osteogenic markers were attenuated, and inhibition of Gli1 and Gli2 weakened the expression of p-Smad1/5/8 and p-p38 induced by BMP9. In conclusion, our study shows that Gli1 and Gli2 play an important role in BMP9-induced osteogenic differentiation.

    Abstract Exosomal microRNAs (exomiRNAs) have emerged as promising biomarkers for the early clinical diagnosis of osteoporosis. However, their limited abundance and short length in peripheral blood present significant challenges for the accurate detection of exomiRNAs. Herein, we have designed and implemented an efficacious fluorescence-based biosensor for the highly sensitive detection of exomiRNA associated with osteoporosis, leveraging the enhancing 3D DNA walker-induced CRISPR/Cas12a technology. The engineered DNA walker is capable of efficiently transforming target exomiRNA into amplifying DNA strands, thereby enhancing the sensitivity of the developed biosensor. Concurrently, the liberated DNA strands serve as activators to trigger Cas12a

    Abstract Diversified noise sources pose great challenges in the engineering of an ANC (active noise control) system design. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an ANC method based on VMD (variational mode decomposition) and Ensemble Learning. VMD is used to extract IMFs (Intrinsic Model Functions) of different types of noise and obtain the approximate entropy of each IMF. Clustering analysis on the output of VMD is conducted based on the PCA (principal component analysis) dimension reduction method and k-means++ method to get classification results for different noises. On the basis of the clustering results, different GBDT (gradient boosting decision tree) regressors are constructed for different noise types, in order to create a high-performance ANC system for multiple noise sources. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, this paper designed four simulation schemes for the ANC: obstacle-free rectangular enclosed space, rectangular enclosed space with obstacle, obstacle-free trapezoidal enclosed space and trapezoidal enclosed space with obstacle. When machine gun noise is used as an example, noise attenuation by the proposed method in four simulation schemes is −23.27 dB, −21.6 dB, −19.08 dB and −15.48 dB respectively.

    Abstract Pathological retinal angiogenesis is not only the hallmark of retinopathies, but also a major cause of blindness. Guanylate binding protein 2 (GBP2) has been reported to be associated with retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and hypoxic retinopathy. However, GBP2-mediated pathological retinal angiogenesis remains largely unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the role of GBP2 in pathological retinal angiogenesis and its underlying molecular mechanism. In this study, we established oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mice model for in vivo study and hypoxia-induced angiogenesis in ARPE-19 cells for in vitro study. We demonstrated that GBP2 expression was markedly downregulated in the retina of mice with OIR and ARPE-19 cells treated with hypoxia, which was associated with pathological retinal angiogenesis. The regulatory mechanism of GBP2 in ARPE-19 cells was studied by GBP2 silencing and overexpression. The regulatory mechanism of GBP2 in the retina was investigated by overexpressing GBP2 in the retina of OIR mice. Mechanistically, GBP2 downregulated the expression and secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA) in ARPE-19 cells and retina of OIR mice. Interestingly, overexpression of GBP2 significantly inhibited neovascularization in OIR mice, conditioned medium of GBP2 overexpressing ARPE-19 cells inhibited angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Furthermore, we confirmed that GBP2 downregulated VEGFA expression and angiogenesis by inhibiting the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Taken together, we concluded that GBP2 inhibited pathological retinal angiogenesis via the AKT/mTOR/VEGFA axis, thereby suggesting that GBP2 may be a therapeutic target for pathological retinal angiogenesis.

    Abstract Background: Duloxetine has been reported to significantly relieve the pain of persistent idiopathic dentoalveolar pain (PIDP); however, the number of studies available is scarce and no study has identified the predictors of response of duloxetine for the treatment of PIDP.
    Objective: To report the efficacy, safety, and identification of positive predictors of duloxetine for PIDP patients through a retrospective multicenter observational study.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical database of PIDP patients who were prescribed duloxetine at 3 hospitals between January 2018 and November 2021. Demographic and pain-related baseline data, efficacy of patients after 3 months of medication by visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain and adverse events were extracted and analyzed. The predictors of pain-relieving effect of duloxetine were identified by logistic regression analysis.
    Results: A total of 135 patients were included in this study. Side effects occurred immediately after taking duloxetine in 24 (17.8%) patients, and the treatment with duloxetine was discontinued on 13 of them because they could not tolerate the side effects. Other 11 (8.1%) patients gradually tolerated the side effects within 2 weeks. Ninety-four out of 122 (77.0%) patients obtained pain relief with VAS significantly decreased (p < 0.01) and the other 28 (23.0%) patients stopped taking the drug because of weak efficacy. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that short disease duration (OR = 1.017, 95% CI = 1.004-1.030, P = 0.012) was an independent predictor of the positive response of duloxetine.
    Conclusion: This study confirmed that duloxetine can significantly improve chronic pain of PIDP patients, and the safety was tolerable. Patients with shorter disease duration had more benefit from duloxetine.
    Limitations: This is a retrospective observational study. Long-term efficacy and safety of duloxetine in the treatment of PIDP patients were not evaluated.

    Abstract Osteosarcoma (OS) is a highly aggressive malignant bone tumor that mainly occurs in adolescents. At present, chemotherapy is the most commonly used method in clinical practice to treat OS. However, due to drug resistance, toxicity and long-term side effects, chemotherapy can't always provide sufficient benefits for OS patients, especially those with metastasis and recurrence. Natural products have long been an excellent source of anti-tumor drug development. In the current study, we evaluated the anti-OS activity of Echinatin (Ecn), a natural active component from the roots and rhizomes of licorice, and explored the possible mechanism. We found that Ecn inhibited the proliferation of human OS cells and blocked cell cycle at S phase. In addition, Ecn suppressed the migration and invasion, while induced the apoptosis of human OS cells. However, Ecn had less cytotoxicity against normal cells. Moreover, Ecn inhibited the xenograft tumor growth of OS cells in vivo. Mechanistically, Ecn inactivated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway while activated p38 signaling pathway. β-catenin over-expression and the p38 inhibitor SB203580 both attenuated the inhibitory effect of Ecn on OS cells. Notably, we demonstrated that Ecn exhibited synergistic inhibitory effect with cisplatin (DDP) on OS cells in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, our results suggest that Ecn may exert anti-OS effects at least partly through regulating Wnt/β-catenin and p38 signaling pathways. Most meaningfully, the results obtained suggest a potential strategy to improve the DDP-induced tumor-killing effect on OS cells by combining with Ecn.
