Oncogenic and immunological roles of RACGAP1 in pan-cancer and its potential value in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

A particular GTPase-activating protein called RACGAP1 is involved in apoptosis, proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance in a variety of malignancies. Nevertheless, the role of RACGAP1 in pan-cancer was less studied, and its value of the expression and prognostic of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has not been explored. Hence, the goal of this study was to investigate the oncogenic and immunological roles of RACGAP1 in various cancers and its potential value in NPC. We comprehensively analyzed RACGAP1 expression, prognostic value, function, methylation levels, relationship with immune cells, immune infiltration, and immunotherapy response in pan-cancer utilizing multiple databases. The results discovered that RACGAP1 expression was elevated in most cancers and suggested poor prognosis, which could be related to the involvement of RACGAP1 in various cancer-related pathways such as the cell cycle and correlated with RACGAP1 methylation levels, immune cell infiltration and reaction to immunotherapy, and chemoresistance. RACGAP1 could inhibit anti-tumor immunity and immunotherapy responses by fostering immune cell infiltration and cytotoxic T lymphocyte dysfunction. Significantly, we validated that RACGAP1 mRNA and protein were highly expressed in NPC. The Gene Expression Omnibus database revealed that elevated RACGAP1 expression was associated with shorter PFS in patients with NPC, and RACGAP1 potentially influenced cell cycle progression, DNA replication, metabolism, and immune-related pathways, resulting in the recurrence and metastasis of NPC. This study indicated that RACGAP1 could be a potential biomarker in pan-cancer and NPC.

Nonreciprocal strong mechanical squeezing based on the Sagnac effect and two-tone driving.

We propose a scheme for generating nonreciprocal strong mechanical squeezing by using two-tone lasers to drive a spinning optomechanical system. For given driving frequencies, strong mechanical squeezing of the breathing mode in the spinning resonator can be achieved in a chosen driving direction but not in the other. The nonreciprocity originates from the Sagnac effect caused by the resonator's spinning. We also find the classical nonreciprocity and the quantum nonreciprocity can be switched by simply changing the angular velocity of the spinning resonator. We show that the scheme is robust to the system's dissipations and the mechanical thermal noise. This work may be meaningful for the study of nonreciprocal device and quantum precision measurement.

Key role of K+ and Ca2+ in high-yield ethanol production by S. Cerevisiae from concentrated sugarcane molasses.

BACKGROUND: Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an important microorganism in ethanol synthesis, and with sugarcane molasses as the feedstock, ethanol is being synthesized sustainably to meet growing demands. However, high-concentration ethanol fermentation based on high-concentration sugarcane molasses-which is needed for reduced energy consumption of ethanol distillation at industrial scale-is yet to be achieved. RESULTS: In the present study, to identify the main limiting factors of this process, adaptive laboratory evolution and high-throughput screening (Py-Fe3+) based on ARTP (atmospheric and room-temperature plasma) mutagenesis were applied. We identified high osmotic pressure, high temperature, high alcohol levels, and high concentrations of K+, Ca2+, K+ and Ca2+ (K+&Ca2+), and sugarcane molasses as the main limiting factors. The robust S. cerevisiae strains of NGT-F1, NGW-F1, NGC-F1, NGK+, NGCa2+ NGK+&Ca2+-F1, and NGTM-F1 exhibited high tolerance to the respective limiting factor and exhibited increased yield. Subsequently, ethanol synthesis, cell morphology, comparative genomics, and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis were performed in a molasses broth containing 250 g/L total fermentable sugars (TFS). Additionally, S. cerevisiae NGTM-F1 was used with 250 g/L (TFS) sugarcane molasses to synthesize ethanol in a 5-L fermenter, giving a yield of 111.65 g/L, the conversion of sugar to alcohol reached 95.53%. It is the highest level of physical mutagenesis yield at present. CONCLUSION: Our results showed that K+ and Ca2+ ions primarily limited the efficient production of ethanol. Then, subsequent comparative transcriptomic GO and pathway analyses showed that the co-presence of K+ and Ca2+ exerted the most prominent limitation on efficient ethanol production. The results of this study might prove useful by promoting the development and utilization of green fuel bio-manufactured from molasses.

Biological characteristics of a new long-chain fatty acid transport protein 1 from Trichinella spiralis and its participation in lipid metabolism, larval moulting, and development.

Long-chain fatty acid transport protein 1 (FATP1) is a member of the fatty acid transporter family. It facilitates transmembrane transport of fatty acids and participates in lipid metabolism. Lipids are essential components of the cell and organelle membranes of Trichinella spiralis. The nematode has lost the capacity to synthesise the necessary lipids de novo and has instead evolved to obtain fatty acids and their derivatives from its host. This study aims to ascertain the primary biological characteristics and roles of T. spiralis FATP1 (TsFATP1) in lipid metabolism, larval moulting, and the development of this nematode. The results show that TsFATP1 is highly expressed at enteral T. spiralis stages, mainly localised at the cuticle, the stichosome and the intrauterine embryos of the parasite. The silencing of the TsFATP1 gene by TsFATP1-specific dsRNA significantly decreases the expression levels of TsFATP1 in the worm. It reduces the contents of ATP, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and phospholipids both in vitro and in vivo. RNAi inhibits lipid metabolism, moulting, and the growth of this nematode. The results demonstrate that TsFATP1 plays an essential role in lipid metabolism, moulting, and the development of T. spiralis. It could also be a target candidate for the anti-Trichinella vaccine and drugs.

Photoelectrochemical detection of copper ions based on a covalent organic framework with tunable properties.

Copper ions (Cu2+) play an essential role in various cellular functions, including respiration, nerve conduction, tissue maturation, oxidative stress defense, and iron metabolism. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of porous crystalline materials with directed structural designability and high stability due to the combination of different monomers through covalent bonds. In this study, we synthesized a porphyrin-tetrathiazole COF (TT-COF(Zn)) with Zn-porphyrin and tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) as monomers and used it as a photoactive material. The strong light absorption of metalloporphyrin and the electron-rich properties of supplied TTF contribute to its photoelectrochemical performance. Additionally, the sulfur (S) in the TTF can coordinate with Cu2+. Based on these properties, we constructed a highly sensitive photoelectrochemical sensor for detecting Cu2+. The sensor exhibited a linear range from 0.5 nM to 500 nM (R2 = 0.9983) and a detection limit of 0.15 nM for Cu2+. Notably, the sensor performed well when detecting Cu2+ in water samples.

Supramolecular Interactions Induce Dynamics in Metal-Organic Layers to Selectively Separate Acetylene from Carbon Dioxide.

We report the synthesis and structural characterization of a 2D metal-organic framework with AB-packing layers, [Co2(pybz)2(CH3COO)2]·DMF (Co2, pybz= 4-(4-pyridyl)benzoate), containing a stable (4,4)-grid network fabricated by paddle-wheel nodes, ditopic pybz, and acetate ligands. After removal of the guest, the layer structure is retained but reorganized into an ABCD packing mode in the activated phase (Co2a). Consequently, the intralayer square windows (7.2 × 5.0 Å2) close, while the interlayer separation is decreased slightly from 3.69 to 3.45 Å, leaving a narrow gap. Importantly, the dangling methyl group of the acetate with H-bonds to the adjacent layers and also the well-distributed π-π interactions between the aromatic rings of neighboring layers facilitate the structural stability. These weak supramolecular interactions further allow for favorable dynamic exfoliation of the layers, which promotes efficient adsorption of C2H2 (41.6 cm3 g-1) over CO2 with an adsorption ratio of 6.3 (0.5 bar, 298 K). The effective separation performance of equimolar C2H2/CO2 was verified by cycling breakthrough experiments and was even tolerable to moisture (R.H = 52%). DFT calculations, in situ PXRD, and PDF characterization reveal that the favorable retention of C2H2 rather than that of CO2 is due to its H-bond formation with the paddle-wheel oxygen atoms that triggers the increase in interlayer separation during C2H2 adsorption.

A dual mechanism with H2S inhibition and membrane damage of morusin from Morus alba Linn. against MDR-MRSA.

It's urgent to discover new antibiotics along with the increasing emergence and dissemination of multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens. In the present investigation, morusin exhibited rapid bactericidal activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) by targeting the phospholipid of bacterial inner membrane, increasing membrane rigidity and disrupting bacterial homeostasis together with the membrane permeability, which caused fundamental metabolic disorders. Furthermore, morusin can also accumulate ROS, suppress H2S production, and aggravate oxidative damage in bacteria. Importantly, morusin also inhibited the spread of wounds and reduced the bacterial burden in the mouse model of skin infection caused by MRSA. It's a chance to meet the challenge of existing antibiotic resistance and avoid the development of bacterial resistance, given the multiple targets of morusin.

Activity of the Caged Xanthone Morellic Acid against Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus Infection by Targeting the Bacterial Membrane.

Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) is an important nosocomial opportunistic pathogen that is associated with multidrug resistance. Here, we demonstrate that morellic acid inhibits VRE by restoring its sensitivity to vancomycin and ampicillin with low drug resistance and efficient biofilm clearance effects. Morellic acid binds to inner membrane phospholipids, such as phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and cardiolipin (CL) of VRE, such that the fluidity and proton-motive force (PMF) interfere with the damaged inner membrane, causing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and bacterial death. Transcriptional analyses supported this effect on inner membrane-related pathways such as fatty acid biosynthesis and glycerophospholipid metabolism. Moreover, morellic acid significantly eliminated residual bacteria in the spleen, liver, kidneys, and abdominal effusion in mice. Our findings indicate the potential applications of morellic acid as an antibacterial agent or adjuvant for treating VRE infections.

Formononetin Derivative for Osteoporosis by Simultaneous Regulating Osteoblast and Osteoclast.

Seven new formononetin derivatives (1-7) were designed and prepared from formononetin (phase II phytoestrogen). The derivatives 9-butyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-chromeno[8,7-e][1,3]oxazin-4-one (2) and 9-(furan-3-ylmethyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-chromeno[8,7-e][1,3]oxazin-4-one (7) promoted significant osteoblast formation by modulating the BMP/Smad pathway. Compound 7 exhibited potent antiosteoclastogenesis activity in RANKL-induced RAW264.7 cells and ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis in mice by regulation of the RANK/RANKL/OPG pathway. Compound 7 regulated osteoblast and osteoclast simultaneously and showed better effect than the well-known drug ipriflavone in vivo, suggesting 7 as a patented antiosteoporosis candidate.

Correlation analysis of cofilin-1 with renal prognosis in primary IgA nephropathy.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between podocyte related biomarker cofilin-1 and renal function, and explore the value of cofilin-1 in predicting the risk of renal adverse prognosis in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). METHODS: Patients with primary IgAN diagnosed by initial renal biopsy performed in our hospital from January 2019 to February 2022 were included. This study was a prospective cohort study. All IgAN patients were detected the expression of cofilin-1 and other related biomarkers (RhoA, NGAL) in urine by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and follow-up at least 6 months. We also collected baseline clinicopathologial data of IgAN. The decreased renal function group was defined as baseline eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2. Logistic and Cox regression model were used to analyze the correlation among cofilin-1 and renal prognosis. RESULTS: 133 IgAN patients were included, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.25:1 and an age of 37.67 ± 13.78 years, as well as an average of eGFR was 71.63 (40.42,109.33) ml/min/1.73m2. 56 patients (42.1%) had decreased renal function at baseline, with the average of eGFR was 34.07 (16.72, 49.21) ml/min/1.73 m2. 12 of which developed to renal adverse prognosis. The average of follow-up time was 22.035 ± 8.992 months. The multivariate regression analysis showed that increased urinary cofilin-1 was an independent risk factor associated with baseline renal function decline and renal adverse prognosis in IgAN patients (P < 0.05). ROC curves showed great efficacy of urinary cofilin-1 levels in diagnosing baseline renal function decline and predicting renal adverse prognosis (the area under the ROC curve was 0.708 and 0.803). CONCLUSION: Cofilin-1 as a novel biomarker of podocyte lesion is closely related to renal function decline in IgAN. Cofilin-1 has certain clinical value in predicting the risk of renal adverse prognosis. Podocyte fusion affects the renal prognosis of IgAN.

The value of synthetic MRI for quantitative analysis in the diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastasis in thyroid cancer.

BACKGROUND: Preoperative effective assessment of cervical lymph node metastasis in thyroid cancer plays an important role in formulating the surgical plan. PURPOSE: To investigate the significance of synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for quantitatively analyzing cervical lymph node metastasis in thyroid cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 30 patients with thyroid cancer, consisting of 19 thyroid cancer nodules, 45 metastatic lymph nodes, and 47 non-metastatic lymph nodes. Regions of interest (ROIs) for each type of nodule were manually delineated using a workstation. Quantitative parameters, such as T1, T2, and proton density (PD) values, were automatically extracted from synthetic MRI scans. Statistical tests and regression analysis were performed to assess differences and correlations among the quantitative parameters. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the quantitative parameter values between the primary tumor and metastatic lymph node tissues (P > 0.05). However, significant differences were observed in the quantitative parameters between the primary tumor and non-metastatic lymph node tissues and between the metastatic and non-metastatic lymph node tissues (P < 0.05). The diagnostic accuracy for cervical lymph node metastasis in thyroid cancer was 94.4% for the T1 and T2 combined index, 91.9% for T2, 86.8% for T1, and 71.7% for PD values. CONCLUSION: The application of quantitative parameters from synthetic MRI can assist clinicians in accurately planning surgical interventions for thyroid cancer patients before surgery.

Study on the Anti-Mycobacterium marinum Activity of a Series of Marine-Derived 14-Membered Resorcylic Acid Lactone Derivatives.

With the emergence of drug-resistant strains, the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) is becoming more difficult and there is an urgent need to find new anti-TB drugs. Mycobacterium marinum, as a model organism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, can be used for the rapid and efficient screening of bioactive compounds. The 14-membered resorcylic acid lactones (RALs) have a wide range of bioactivities such as antibacterial, antifouling and antimalarial activity. In order to further study their bioactivities, we initially constructed a 14-membered RALs library, which contains 16 new derivatives. The anti-M. marinum activity was evaluated in vitro. Derivatives 12, 19, 20 and 22 exhibited promising activity with MIC90 values of 80, 90, 80 and 80 µM, respectively. The preliminary structure-activity relationships showed that the presence of a chlorine atom at C-5 was a key factor to improve activity. Further studies showed that 12 markedly inhibited the survival of M. marinum and significantly reduced the dosage of positive drugs isoniazid and rifampicin when combined with them. These results suggest that 12 is a bioactive compound capable of enhancing the potency of existing positive drugs, and its effective properties make it a very useful leads for future drug development in combating TB resistance.

Semisynthesis, Structure Elucidation and Anti-Mycobacterium marinum Activity of a Series of Marine-Derived 14-Membered Resorcylic Acid Lactones with Interesting Ketal Groups.

The incidence of Mycobacterium marinum infection is on the rise; however, the existing drug treatment cycle is lengthy and often requires multi-drug combination. Therefore, there is a need to develop new and effective anti-M. marinum drugs. Cochliomycin A, a 14-membered resorcylic acid lactone with an acetonide group at C-5' and C-6', exhibits a wide range of antimicrobial, antimalarial, and antifouling activities. To further explore the effect of this structural change at C-5' and C-6' on this compound's activity, we synthesized a series of compounds with a structure similar to that of cochliomycin A, bearing ketal groups at C-5' and C-6'. The R/S configuration of the diastereoisomer at C-13' was further determined through an NOE correlation analysis of CH3 or CH2 at the derivative C-13' position and the H-5' and H-6' by means of a 1D NOE experiment. Further comparative 1H NMR analysis of diastereoisomers showed the difference in the chemical shift (δ) value of the diastereoisomers. The synthetic compounds were screened for their anti-microbial activities in vitro. Compounds 15-24 and 28-35 demonstrated promising activity against M. marinum, with MIC90 values ranging from 70 to 90 µM, closely approaching the MIC90 of isoniazid. The preliminary structure-activity relationships showed that the ketal groups with aromatic rings at C-5' and C-6' could enhance the inhibition of M. marinum. Further study demonstrated that compounds 23, 24, 29, and 30 had significant inhibitory effects on M. marinum and addictive effects with isoniazid and rifampicin. Its effective properties make it an important clue for future drug development toward combatting M. marinum resistance.

Chemical profiling and quality evaluation of Liuweizhiji Gegen-Sangshen oral liquid by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS and HPLC-diode array detector fingerprinting.

INTRODUCTION: Liuweizhiji Gegen-Sangshen (LGS) oral liquid is a Chinese patent medicine that is widely used for the prevention and treatment of alcoholic liver disease in clinical practice. However, the chemical complexity of LGS has not yet been investigated. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to rapidly identify chemical constituents of LGS and establish a quality control method based on fingerprint and quantitative analysis. METHODOLOGY: A comprehensive strategy was used by combining qualitative analysis by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and fingerprint analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). RESULTS: A total of 162 chemical components in LGS, including 91 flavonoids, 31 organic acids, and 20 phenolic compounds, were identified or preliminarily characterized in both positive and negative ion modes based on the UPLC-Q-TOF-MS results. Of these, 37 were confirmed with the reference standards. In fingerprint analysis, 23 peaks were chosen as common peaks and used to evaluate the similarity of different batches of LGS. Subsequently, a rapid quantification method was optimized and validated for the simultaneous determination of multiple chemical markers in LGS. The validated quantitative method was successfully used to analyze different batches of LGS samples. CONCLUSION: The proposed comprehensive strategy combining HPLC-DAD fingerprinting and multi-component quantification demonstrated satisfactory results with high efficiency, accuracy, and reliability. This can be used as a reference for the overall quality consistency evaluation of Chinese patent medicines.

Changes in wound symptoms and quality of life of patients with newly diagnosed malignant fungating wounds.

OBJECTIVE: This study examined changes in wound symptoms and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with newly diagnosed malignant fungating wounds, and explored the factors that impacted the changes in HRQoL. METHOD: This prospective longitudinal study included patients from three hospitals in China who had been diagnosed with malignant fungating wounds. Questionnaires were used to assess patients' HRQoL and their wound symptoms at the time of diagnosis (T0), as well as at one, three and six (T1, T2 and T3, respectively) months following the treatment period. Factors related to changes in HRQoL were analysed using generalised estimating equation models. RESULTS: A total of 162 patients were included in the study. The patients reported low overall HRQoL. In three health-related dimensions (functional status, social relations and mental health), patients reported lower functional status at the time of wound diagnosis (T0), which then increased slowly with treatment over time. A lower QoL was associated with odour, exudate, bleeding, pruritus, a low performance status and the need for the dressing of wounds. CONCLUSION: The HRQoL of patients with malignant fungating wounds exhibited significant changes across different periods. It is thus of great importance to formulate pragmatic, patient and family-centred palliative wound care management strategies.

Three New Ent-Kaurane Diterpenes with Antibacterial Activity from Sigesbeckia orientalis.

Three novel ent-kaurane diterpenes, namely sigesbeckin A-C (1-3), in conjunction with eight previously identified analogues (4-11), were isolated from Sigesbeckia orientalis. Their chemical structures were resolved through multiple spectroscopic analyses. All compounds were assessed for antimicrobial bioactivity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) strains. In particular, compounds 1 and 5 demonstrated moderate efficacy, with MIC values of 64 µg/mL. Moreover, compounds 3, 5, and 11 were found to synergize with doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and vancomycin (VAN) against MRSA and VRE. The aforementioned findings offer valuable insights for the development of novel alternatives to antibiotics, which can effectively tackle the escalating issue of antibiotic resistance.

Identification of Novel -Glucosidase Inhibitors from Syzygium jambos (L.) Using Spectroscopy and Molecular Docking.

Fruits of Syzygium jambos (L.) are recognized as a "food", exhibiting significant antidiabetic activities. However, the α-glucosidase inhibition of the components from Syzygium jambos (L.) have not yet been investigated. In this study, a total of 14 compounds were isolated from Syzygium jambos (L.) Alston, eight of which showed significant inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase, with IC50 values in the range of 0.011-0.665 mM. Notably, compounds 1-3 (IC50: 0.013, 0.011 and 0.030 mM, respectively) exhibited much stronger activity than acarbose (IC50: 2.329 ± 0.109 mM). The enzyme kinetics study indicated that compound 1 was an uncompetitive inhibitor, and compounds 2-8 were mixed-type inhibitors. Moreover, the interactions between compounds and α-glucosidase were investigated by molecular docking, which further revealed that the number of olefin double bonds and 2-COOH of heptadeca-phenols had a notable effect on the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. This study demonstrated that Syzygium jambos (L.) fruit might serve as a functional food for the prevention of diabetes mellitus.

Multiple Structural and Phase Transformations of MOF and Selective Hydrocarbon Gas Separation in its Amorphous, Glass Phase States.

The first wide-view image of multiple structural and phase transformations for MOFs from crystal state transformations further to the extreme limit approaching liquid/glass phase, was presented based on a square-layer framework of [Co2(pybz)2(CH3COO)2]·DMF (Co2). The process involves i) an initial crystalline transformation brings to a 3-fold interpenetrated and ordered vacancies contained framework [Co(pybz)2(CH3OH)2]·2CH3OH (CoM) due to in-situ disassemble-reassemble, ii) thermal induced departure of a pair of cis-form coordinated methanol in CoM leads to amorphous framework (a-dCoM), iii) glass transition (Tg = 566 K) to super-cooled liquid (scl-dCoM, spanning 38 K), iv) obtaining MOF glass g-dCoM upon quenching the super-cooled liquid, and v) re-crystallization of super-cooled liquid to six-fold interpenetrated dia-net framework [Co(pybz)2]6n (rec-dCoM) under heating above 604 K. The access to glass from CoM, provides a new self-perturbation strategy to create more MOF glasses without melting. The wider pore size distribution in amorphous/glassy MOFs than crystalline precursor realized the first time selective hydrocarbon gas separation by breakthrough experiments, which bring efficient separation of 1:99 C2H2/C2H4 by either a-dCoM or g-dCoM and produce polymer grade C2H4 with purity ≥ 99.5% after a single adsorption process. Furthermore, the mixture of 50:50 C3H6/C3H8 can be separated by a-dCoM.

Potential diagnostic biomarkers: 6 cuproptosis- and ferroptosis-related genes linking immune infiltration in acute myocardial infarction.

The current diagnostic biomarkers of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), troponins, lack specificity and exist as false positives in other non-cardiac diseases. Previous studies revealed that cuproptosis, ferroptosis, and immune infiltration are all involved in the development of AMI. We hypothesize that combining the analysis of cuproptosis, ferroptosis, and immune infiltration in AMI will help identify more precise diagnostic biomarkers. The results showed that a total of 19 cuproptosis- and ferroptosis-related genes (CFRGs) were differentially expressed between the healthy and AMI groups. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the differential CFRGs were mostly enriched in biological processes related to oxidative stress and the inflammatory response. The immune infiltration status analyzed by ssGSEA found elevated levels of macrophages, neutrophils, and CCR in AMI. Then, we screened 6 immune-related CFRGs (CXCL2, DDIT3, DUSP1, CDKN1A, TLR4, STAT3) to construct a nomogram for predicting AMI and validated it in the GSE109048 dataset. Moreover, we also identified 5 pivotal miRNAs and 10 candidate drugs that target the 6 feature genes. Finally, RT-qPCR analysis verified that all 6 feature genes were upregulated in both animals and patients. In conclusion, our study reveals the significance of immune-related CFRGs in AMI and provides new insights for AMI diagnosis and treatment.
