From inactivation to intervention: X chromosome silencing in disease pathogenesis and emerging therapeutic strategies

X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a crucial epigenetic mechanism that balances X-linked gene expression in females via random silencing of one X chromosome. Skewed XCI—non-random inactivation favoring...

Current progress and role of lncRNAs in HBV infection and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma

Infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a severe concern to public health, with roughly 292 million people worldwide suffering from the chronic form of the disease, for which there is no cure....

Pan-cancer analysis and mechanistic insights of tuft cell-like tumors

Tuft cells are rare, chemosensory epithelial cells present in various tissues, including the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Recent studies have revealed their significant role in cancer biology,...

Pathophysiological mechanisms of organ injury in Fabry disease: Update via multi-omics

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in GLA gene, which result in deficient α-galactosidase A activity, leading to intralysosomal accumulation of metabolic...

Piezo ion channels in the digestive system: Mechanotransduction pathways and therapeutic targeting strategies

Piezo ion channels, notably Piezo1 and Piezo2, are key mechanosensors that transduce mechanical forces into intracellular signals, playing indispensable roles in digestive physiology. These channels...

Interaction between N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification and toxicant-related neurodegeneration: From neural development to pathophysiology

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is a crucial epigenetic mechanism that is widely expressed across various tissues and biological systems. It regulates gene expression by influencing the stability...

CXorf67 in malignancies: Deciphering epigenetic landscapes and clinical implications for precision oncology

The emerging focus on epigenetic regulation in cancer biology has unveiled the significant role of CXorf67, a protein encoded by a gene on the X chromosome. CXorf67 interacts with core components of...

Research progress on the mechanisms and animal models of Ménière’s disease

Ménière’s disease is a prevalent chronic condition that triggers a range of vestibular and auditory symptoms. Despite significant advances in mechanisms such as genetic susceptibility, immunity, and...

Unraveling the role of PIWI/piRNAs in stem cell therapy: Epigenetic mechanisms and therapeutic potentials

The therapeutic potential of stem cell therapy critically depends on precise epigenetic regulation mediated by PIWI/piRNA complexes. This review synthesizes current literature to analyze the structure,...

IRP1/ARID3A complex promotes pancreatic cancer chemoresistance by suppressing CYGB-related ferroptosis

Ferroptosis, a unique modality of regulated cell death, has become an emerging strategy for tumor therapy. Multiple cellular pathways, including redox homeostasis, iron handling, epigenetic regulation,...

CUDC-907 inhibits glioblastoma and enhances glioblastoma sensitivity to temozolomide by inhibiting DNA damage repair

CUDC-907, referred to as Fimepinostat, functions as a dual inhibitor of PI3K and HDAC, exhibiting significant anti-tumor efficacy in a range of cancer types. However, its specific role in glioblastoma...

SIRT5 mediates the pro-osteogenic effects of estrogen through FDX1 demalonylation and cuproptosis inhibition in mesenchymal stem cells

Osteoporosis, a common orthopedic disease predominantly caused by estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women, continues to pose a significant public health challenge due to the poorly understood molecular...

CXCR4 reduces aldosterone synthesis via regulating CYP11B2 expression

C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is highly expressed in aldosterone-producing adenoma, and gallium-68 pentixafor PET-CT imaging targeting CXCR4 has been utilized for subtype diagnosis in primary...

A parallel-risk framework accurately predicts hematopoietic stem cell transplantation outcomes and identifies benefiting patients in pediatric AML

Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (pAML) has a poorer prognosis than acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers curative potential in high-risk or relapsed...

Type III interferons attenuates Th1/Th17 cell pathogenicity and regulates retinal pigment epithelium cells via NLRP1/NLRP3 signaling axis in autoimmune uveitis

Accumulating data implicate Type III interferons (IFN-λs) in autoimmune disorders, prompting our exploration of their role in uveitis pathogenesis. Serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)...

The therapeutic effect of nicotinamide riboside chloride on ameliorating alcohol-induced neuronal damage with a focus on mitochondrial unfolded protein response and mitophagy

Excessive alcohol consumption leads to neurodegeneration, driven primarily by oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, yet no specific treatment exists. Nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRC),...

Potential oncogenic role of occult hepatitis B virus pre-S mutations: Activation of Akt/mTOR/Cyclin D1 signaling drives cell cycle dysregulation and proliferation in hepatocellular carcinogenesis

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a severe global public health challenge, with hepatocellular carcinoma being a primary cause of HBV-related mortality. Occult HBV infection (OBI) represents...

Identification of the homozygous truncating mutation in CNTD1 as a novel genetic cause of diminished ovarian reserve

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is one of the leading causes of infertility, which accounts for approximately 10% of women seeking fertility treatment. However, their genetic etiology and pathogenesis...

The multifaceted landscape of T cell exhaustion in organ transplantation: From molecular mechanisms (epigenetics, transcription, metabolism) to induction strategies

T cell exhaustion is a state of T cell dysfunction resulting from persistent antigenic stimulation, characterized primarily by the high expression of inhibitory receptors, metabolic reprogramming, and...

SERTAD4-AS1 suppresses pancreatic cancer progression by stabilizing SERTAD4 and inhibiting the Notch1 pathway

Transcription cofactor Hes6 interacts with Twist1 to facilitate EMT and promote gastric carcinogenesis by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling

Advanced gastric cancer (GC) poses a significant threat to public health, leading to substantial consumption of healthcare resources due to its aggressive nature and poor prognosis. Hairy and enhancer...
