    Abstract Background: Observational studies have indicated the association of alteration of adipokines with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it remains unclear whether the associations are causal.
    Objective: To determine the causal associations between adipokines and AD.
    Methods: A Mendelian randomization (MR) method was applied to investigate the causal relationships of adipokines, including adiponectin and resistin, with risk of AD. Genetic proxies from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of adiponectin and resistin were selected as instrumental variables. GWAS summary statistics for AD were extracted as outcome.
    Results: In this study, we found evidence of the causal effects of adiponectin on AD (OR: 0.850, 95% CI: 0.731-0.990,
    Conclusions: This study provides evidence of causality between adiponectin and risk of AD. However, no genetic susceptibility of resistin was discovered for AD.

    Abstract Because of the heterogeneity of lower-grade gliomas (LGGs), patients show various survival outcomes that are not reliably predicted by histological classification. The tumour microenvironment (TME) contributes to the initiation and progression of brain LGGs. Identifying potential prognostic markers based on the immune and stromal components in the TME will provide new insights into the dynamic modulation of these two components of the TME in LGGs. We applied ESTIMATE to calculate the ratio of immune and stromal components from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. After combined differential gene expression analysis, protein-protein interaction network construction and survival analysis, CD44 was screened as an independent prognostic factor and subsequently validated utilizing data from the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas database. To decipher the association of glioma cell CD44 expression with stromal cells in the TME and tumour progression, RT-qPCR, cell viability and wound healing assays were employed to determine whether astrocytes enhance glioma cell viability and migration by upregulating CD44 expression. Surprisingly, M1 macrophages were identified as positively correlated with CD44 expression by CIBERSORT analysis. CD44

    Abstract Because of the heterogeneity of lower-grade gliomas (LGGs), patients show various survival outcomes that are not reliably predicted by histological classification. The tumour microenvironment (TME) contributes to the initiation and progression of brain LGGs. Identifying potential prognostic markers based on the immune and stromal components in the TME will provide new insights into the dynamic modulation of these two components of the TME in LGGs. We applied ESTIMATE to calculate the ratio of immune and stromal components from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. After combined differential gene expression analysis, protein–protein interaction network construction and survival analysis, CD44 was screened as an independent prognostic factor and subsequently validated utilizing data from the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas database. To decipher the association of glioma cell CD44 expression with stromal cells in the TME and tumour progression, RT–qPCR, cell viability and wound healing assays were employed to determine whether astrocytes enhance glioma cell viability and migration by upregulating CD44 expression. Surprisingly, M1 macrophages were identified as positively correlated with CD44 expression by CIBERSORT analysis. CD44⁺ glioma cells were further suggested to interact with microglia-derived macrophages (M1 phenotype) via osteopontin signalling on the basis of single-cell sequencing data. Overall, we found that astrocytes could elevate the CD44 expression level of glioma cells, enhancing the recruitment of M1 macrophages that may promote glioma stemness via osteopontin-CD44 signalling. Thus, glioma CD44 expression might coordinate with glial activities in the TME and serve as a potential therapeutic target and prognostic marker for LGGs.

    Abstract Recent years, biobased polymer packaging film in food packaging has witnessed great developments. However, it is still a challenge to develop biodegradable packaging films with antimicrobial property and mechanical strength. Herein, agar and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/Chitosan (CS) packaging films with ε-polylysine/ZIF-L nanocomposites (ε-PL@ZIF-L) were developed for the first time. Due to the incorporation of the nanocomposite, UV/visible light barrier properties (the transmittance decreased by 10.9%) of the films were improved, and the elongation at break of the composite agar films were increased by 43.0%. In the antimicrobial assays, with 4% ε-PL@ZIF-L, the inhibition zone diameters against Bacillus subtilis were 10 times as compared with the pure PVA/CS film. Furthermore, compared with commercial PE film, agar films and PVA/CS films with 4% ε-PL@ZIF-L nanocomposites could provide long-term protection for strawberry to avoid the microbial infection and prolong the shelf life of the fruit at 25 °C. The results suggested that the agar and PVA/CS packaging films with ε-PL@ZIF-L nanocomposites could significantly behave as potent antibacterial material in food packaging and preservation systems.
