Modified Lichong decoction intervenes in colorectal cancer by modulating the intestinal flora and the Wnt/ β-catenin signaling pathway
CONCLUSION: MLCD mitigated the abnormal growth of intestinal epithelial cells and promoted apoptosis, thereby inhibiting the progression of CRC. This inhibition was accomplished by modifying the intestinal microbiota and disrupting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and the EMT. Therefore, MLCD could serve as a potential component of TCM prescriptions for CRC treatment.PMID:38710918 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-024-05763-w (Source: Cell Research)

D-mannose alleviates intervertebral disc degeneration through glutamine metabolism
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, through integrated multiomics analysis, including both in vivo and in vitro experiments, this study demonstrated that mannose primarily exerts its anti-catabolic effects on IVDD through the TXNIP-glutamine axis. These findings provide strong evidence supporting the potential of the use of mannose in clinical applications for alleviating IVDD. Compared to existing clinically invasive or pain-relieving therapies for IVDD, the oral administration of mannose has characteristics that are more advantageous for clinical IVDD treatment.PMID:38711073 | PMC:PMC11071241 | DOI:10.1186/s40779-024-00529-4 (Source: Cell Research)

A Single-Arm Multi-Center Phase II Clinical Trial of Cadonilimab (anti-PD-1/CTLA-4) in Combination with or without Conventional Second-Line Treatment for Patients with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
Technol Cancer Res Treat. 2024 Jan-Dec;23:15330338241249690. doi: 10.1177/15330338241249690.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Cadonilimab (AK104) is a bispecific IgG-single-chain Fv fragment (ScFv) antibody that binds to PD-1 and CTLA-4. Cadonilimab has shown encouraging anti-tumour activity and a favourable safety profile in several tumour types. In second-line treatment, there is no defined standard of care for patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Cadonilimab is expected to show substantial clinical efficacy.OBJECTIVE: To assess the antitumor activity and safety of cadonilimab monotherapy or combination with...

Discovering genetic determinants for cell-to-cell adhesion in two prevalent conjugative lactococcal plasmids
Curr Res Microb Sci. 2024 Apr 23;6:100239. doi: 10.1016/j.crmicr.2024.100239. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTPlasmids pNP40 and pUC11B encode two prevalent yet divergent conjugation systems, which have been characterized in detail recently. Here, we report the elucidation of the putative adhesins of the pNP40 and pUC11B conjugation systems, encoded by traAd and trsAd, respectively. Despite their significant sequence divergence, TraAd and TrsAd represent the most conserved component between the pNP40- and the pUC11B-encoded conjugation systems and share similar peptidoglycan-hydrolase domains. Protein structure prediction using A...

Banana MabHLH28 positively regulates the expression of softening-related genes to mediate fruit ripening independently or via cooperating with MaWRKY49/111
Hortic Res. 2024 Feb 23;11(4):uhae053. doi: 10.1093/hr/uhae053. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTTexture softening is a physiological indicator of fruit ripening, which eventually contributes to fruit quality and the consumer's acceptance. Despite great progress having been made in identification of the genes related to fruit softening, the upstream transcriptional regulatory pathways of these softening-related genes are not fully elucidated. Here, a novel bHLH gene, designated as MabHLH28, was identified because of its significant upregulation in banana fruit ripening. DAP-Seq analysis revealed that MabHLH28 bound to the core...
