RESUMO

Proliferation is a critical characteristic of the progression of gastric cancer (GC). Receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 2 (ROR2), the orphan receptor tyrosine kinase-like receptor, exhibits effects on tumor growth due to its abnormal expression in cancer. The goal of our study was to assess the potential regulatory role exerted by the ROR2 on GC cells. Through previous bioinformatics analysis, we discovered an association between ROR2 and the G2/M phase of the GC cell cycle. However, little is known about the link between ROR2 and the G2/M phase cell cycle in GC. Here, the findings of our study indicate that ROR2, after transcribed expression by Twist1, activates the PI3K/AKT/mTOR/S6K signal transduction pathway, thus leading to the acceleration of the G2/M phase and subsequent promotion of cell proliferation in GC. Furthermore, the functional link among ROR2, Twist1, and G2/M phase of cell cycle was also confirmed in mouse xenograft tissues and human tissues. ROR2 expression was correlated with Twist expression and lower survival in vivo. Notably, our suggestion is that focusing on ROR2 as a potential therapeutic approach could show potential for the management of GC.

RESUMO

Water-soluble inorganic ions (WSIIs, primarily NH4+, SO42-, and NO3-) are major components in ambient PM2.5, but their reproductive toxicity remains largely unknown. An animal study was conducted where parental mice were exposed to PM2.5 WSIIs or clean air during preconception and the gestational period. After delivery, all maternal and offspring mice lived in a clean air environment. We assessed reproductive organs, gestation outcome, birth weight, and growth trajectory of the offspring mice. In parallel, we collected birth weight and placenta transcriptome data from 150 mother-infant pairs from the Rhode Island Child Health Study. We found that PM2.5 WSIIs induced a broad range of adverse reproductive outcomes in mice. PM2.5 NH4+, SO42-, and NO3- exposure reduced ovary weight by 24.22% (p = 0.005), 14.45% (p = 0.048), and 16.64% (p = 0.022) relative to the clean air controls. PM2.5 SO42- exposure reduced the weight of testicle by 5.24% (p = 0.025); further, mice in the PM2.5 SO42- exposure group had 1.81 (p = 0.027) fewer offspring than the control group. PM2.5 NH4+, SO42-, and NO3- exposure all led to lower birth than controls. In mice, 557 placenta genes were perturbed by exposure. Integrative analysis of mouse and human data suggested hypoxia response in placenta as an etiological mechanism underlying PM2.5 WSII exposure's reproductive toxicity.

RESUMO

Background: The causal relationship between juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and primary ovarian failure (POF) remains uncertain. To elucidate this relationship, we employed a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis. Methods: The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with JIA were obtained from a previously published genome-wide association study (GWAS), while the pooled data for POF originated from the FinnGen consortium. The study populations consisted exclusively of individuals of European descent. In our Mendelian randomization analysis, we performed inverse-variance weighted analysis, weighted-median analysis, weighted-mode analysis and Mendelian randomization-Egger regression analysis, supplemented by sensitivity analyses to validate the accuracy and robustness of the findings. Results: The IVW (OR = 1.23, 95% CI 1.06-1.43; P = 0.007) and weighted median (OR = 1.25, 95% CI 1.06-1.47; P = 0.009), along with sensitivity analysis validation, provide compelling evidence of a significant causal association between JIA and POF. Conclusion: The study revealed a significant causal association between genetically predicted JIA and POF, indicating that JIA significantly elevates the risk of developing POF. Therefore, it is recommended to implement screening for premature ovarian failure in women diagnosed with JIA.
