    Abstract Aberrant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling is the core signaling commonly activated in glioma. The transmembrane emp24 protein transport domain protein 2 (TMED2) interacts with cargo proteins involved in protein sorting and transport between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus. In this study, we found the correlation between TMED2 with glioma progression and EGFR signaling through database analysis. Moreover, we demonstrated that TMED2 is essential for glioma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion at the cellular levels, as well as tumor formation in mouse models, underscoring its significance in the pathobiology of gliomas. Mechanistically, TMED2 was found to enhance EGFR-AKT signaling by facilitating EGFR recycling, thereby providing the initial evidence of TMED2's involvement in the membrane protein recycling process. In summary, our findings shed light on the roles and underlying mechanisms of TMED2 in the regulation of glioma tumorigenesis and EGFR signaling, suggesting that targeting TMED2 could emerge as a promising therapeutic strategy for gliomas and other tumors associated with aberrant EGFR signaling.

    Abstract Several Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) Collaborations have recently provided strong evidence for a nHz Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background (SGWB). Here we investigate the implications of a first-order phase transition occurring within the early Universe's dark quantum chromodynamics epoch, specifically within the framework of the mirror twin Higgs dark sector model. Our analysis indicates a distinguishable SGWB signal originating from this phase transition, which can explain the measurements obtained by PTAs. Remarkably, a significant portion of the parameter space for the SGWB signal also effectively resolves the existing tensions in both the H

    Abstract Objective To prepare rabbit polyclonal antibody specifically against human glutamine fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase 1(GFPT1). Methods The protein sequences of GFPT1 and its highly homologous isozyme GFPT2 were compared. Two peptides for the specific sequence of GFPT1 were designed and synthesized. New Zealand rabbits were immunized by peptide coupled with Keyhole Limpet hemocyanin (KLH) as antigen. Antiserum was obtained after 3 booster immunizations. The titer of the antiserum against GFPT1 were detected by ELISA. The E.coli expression vectors of GFPT1 and GFPT2 were constructed, and the recombinant proteins of GFPT1 and GFPT2 were obtained by induced expression. GFPT1 and GFPT2 recombinant proteins were analyzed by Western blot to verify the specificity of the antiserum. Immuno-fluorescence cytochemical staining for GFPT1 expression in 786-O cells was verified as for whether the obtained antiserum could recognize the endogenously expressed GFPT1. Results Polyclonal antibody specifically recognizing GFPT1 was obtained and the titer of polyclonal antibody reached 1:1 458 000. Conclusion The experiment successfully prepared the specific rabbit polyclonal antibody against GFPT1.

    Abstract SARS-CoV-2 continues to threaten human health, antibody therapy is one way to control the infection. Because new SARS-CoV-2 mutations are constantly emerging, there is an urgent need to develop broadly neutralizing antibodies to block the viral entry into host cells. VNAR from sharks is the smallest natural antigen binding domain, with the advantages of small size, flexible paratopes, good stability, and low manufacturing cost. Here, we used recombinant SARS-CoV-2 Spike-RBD to immunize sharks and constructed a VNAR phage display library. VNAR R1C2, selected from the library, efficiently binds to the RBD domain and blocks the infection of ACE2-positive cells by pseudovirus. Next, homologous bivalent VNARs were constructed through the tandem fusion of two R1C2 units, which enhanced both the affinity and neutralizing activity of R1C2. R1C2 was predicted to bind to a relatively conserved region within the RBD. By introducing mutations at four key binding sites within the CDR3 and HV2 regions of R1C2, the affinity and neutralizing activity of R1C2 were significantly improved. Furthermore, R1C2 also exhibits an effective capacity of binding to the Omicron variants (BA.2 and XBB.1). Together, these results suggest that R1C2 could serve as a valuable candidate for preventing and treating SARS-CoV-2 infections.

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complication of a wide range of serious illnesses for which there is still no better therapeutic agent. We demonstrated that M-18C has a favorable inhibitory effect on monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), and several studies have demonstrated that nerve inflammation could be effectively alleviated by inhibiting MAGL, suggesting that M-18C has good anti-inflammatory activity. In this study, we investigated the effect of M-18C on LPS-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), both in vivo and in vitro, by using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), 16S rRNA gene sequencing, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. The results showed that both in vivo and in vitro M-18C reduced the release of TNF-α and IL-1β by inhibiting the expression of NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain-associated protein 3 (NLRP3) and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) protein; in addition, M-18C was able to intervene in LPS-induced AKI by ameliorating renal pathological injury, repairing the intestinal barrier, and regulating gut bacterial flora and serum metabolism. In conclusion, this study suggests that M-18C has the potential to be a new drug for the treatment of AKI.

    Abstract The high computational cost of neural networks has prevented recent successes in RGB-D salient object detection (SOD) from benefiting real-world applications. Hence, this article introduces a novel network, MobileSal, which focuses on efficient RGB-D SOD using mobile networks for deep feature extraction. However, mobile networks are less powerful in feature representation than cumbersome networks. To this end, we observe that the depth information of color images can strengthen the feature representation related to SOD if leveraged properly. Therefore, we propose an implicit depth restoration (IDR) technique to strengthen the mobile networks' feature representation capability for RGB-D SOD. IDR is only adopted in the training phase and is omitted during testing, so it is computationally free. Besides, we propose compact pyramid refinement (CPR) for efficient multi-level feature aggregation to derive salient objects with clear boundaries. With IDR and CPR incorporated, MobileSal performs favorably against state-of-the-art methods on six challenging RGB-D SOD datasets with much faster speed (450fps for the input size of 320×320) and fewer parameters (6.5M).

    Abstract Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide, and over-diagnosis causes various unnecessary losses in patients' lives and health. How to more effectively screen lung cancer patients and their potential prognostic risk become the focus of our current study. By analyzing the LUAD expression profile in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we constructed a weighted gene co-expression network using differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to find the key modules and pivotal genes. A COX proportional risk regression model based on the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was used to assess the predictive value of the model for the prognosis of LUAD patients. A total of 4107 up-regulated DEGs and 2022 down-regulated DEGs were identified in this study, and enrichment analysis showed that these analyzes were associated with the extracellular matrix of cells and adhesion. Ten gene markers consisting of LDHA, TOP2A, UBE2C, TYMS, TRIP13, EXO1, TTK, TPX2, ZWINT, and UHRF1 were established by extracting the central genes in the key modules, and the upregulation of these genes was accompanied by an increased prognostic risk of patients. Among them, high expression of LDHA, TRIP13, and TTK in LUAD was associated with shorter overall survival and could be used as independent prognostic factors to participate in metabolic processes such as tumor NAD. The present study provides a powerful molecular target for the study of LUAD prognosis and provides a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of LUAD and the development of targeted inhibitors.
