Abnormal expression of long non ‑coding RNA LINC01270 in glioma and its correlation with X‑ray computed tomography signs
This study focused on the association of LINC01270 and computed tomography (CT) signs with glioma development, to evaluate their potential in the early detection of glioma. Serum LINC01270 was evaluated in glioma patients and healthy individuals using PCR. The involvement of LINC01270 in glioma onset and development was evaluated by ROC and chi‑square test. The association of LINC01270 with the CT signs and their combined effects in the diagnosis in glioma were also estimated. Serum LINC01270 was significantly elevated in glioma patients, which was closely associated with patients' advanced WHO grades and lower KPS. Both...

Layer-by-layer assembly of quercetin-loaded zein/ γPGA/low-molecular-weight chitosan/fucoidan nanosystem for targeting inflamed blood vessels
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Apr 3:131369. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131369. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChitosan acts as a versatile carrier in polymeric nanoparticle (NP) for diverse drug administration routes. Delivery of antioxidants, such as quercetin (Qu) showcases potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for reduction of various cardiovascular diseases, but low water solubility limits uptake. To address this, we developed a novel layer-by-layer zein/gamma-polyglutamic acid (γPGA)/low-molecular-weight chitosan (LC)/fucoidan NP for encapsulating Qu and targeting inflamed vessel endothelial cells. We used...

Telomere dysfunction alters intestinal stem cell dynamics to promote cancer
Dev Cell. 2024 Mar 28:S1534-5807(24)00188-6. doi: 10.1016/j.devcel.2024.03.020. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTelomere dynamics are linked to aging hallmarks, and age-associated telomere loss fuels the development of epithelial cancers. In Apc-mutant mice, the onset of DNA damage associated with telomere dysfunction has been shown to accelerate adenoma initiation via unknown mechanisms. Here, we observed that Apc-mutant mice engineered to experience telomere dysfunction show accelerated adenoma formation resulting from augmented cell competition and clonal expansion. Mechanistically, telomere dysfunction induces the repres...
