Biotransformation of chenodeoxycholic acid by human intestinal fungi and the agonistic effects on FXR.

Bile acids play a vital role in modulating host metabolism, with chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) standing out as a primary bile acid that naturally activates farnesoid X receptor (FXR). In this study, we investigated the microbial transformations of CDCA by seven human intestinal fungal species. Our findings revealed that hydroxylation and dehydrogenation were the most prevalent metabolic pathways. Incubation of CDCA with Rhizopus microspores (PT2906) afforded eight undescribed compounds (6-13) alongside five known analogs (1-5) which were elucidated by HRESI-MS and NMR data. Notably, compounds 8, 12 and 13 exhibited an inhibitory effect on FXR in contrast to the FXR activation observed with CDCA in vitro assays. This study shone a light on the diverse transformations of CDCA by intestinal fungi, unveiling potential modulators of FXR activity with implications for host metabolism.

Research Progress on Strategies for Improving the Enzyme Properties of Bacteriophage Endolysins.

Bacterial resistance to commonly used antibiotics is one of the major challenges to be solved today. Bacteriophage endolysins (Lysins) have become a hot research topic as a new class of antibacterial agents. They have promising applications in bacterial infection prevention and control in multiple fields, such as livestock and poultry farming, food safety, clinical medicine and pathogen detection. However, many phage endolysins display low bactericidal activities, short half-life and narrow lytic spectrums. Therefore, some methods have been used to improve the enzyme properties (bactericidal activity, lysis spectrum, stability and targeting the substrate, etc) of bacteriophage endolysins, including deletion or addition of domains, DNA mutagenesis, chimerization of domains, fusion to the membrane-penetrating peptides, fusion with domains targeting outer membrane transport systems, encapsulation, the usage of outer membrane permeabilizers. In this review, research progress on the strategies for improving their enzyme properties are systematically presented, with a view to provide references for the development of lysins with excellent performances.

Microemulsions based on Acer truncatum seed oil and its fatty acids: fabrication, rheological property, and stability.

AIMS: To construct the microemulsion delivery system (ME) loading ATSO and NA and study their physicochemical characteristics to enhance their stability and water solubility. METHODS: By plotting ternary phase diagrams, the composition and proportions of the MEs were determined. The physicochemical characteristics and stability of MEs were evaluated by mean diameter, polydispersity index (PDI), pH, electrical conductivity, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), rheological behaviour measurement, and phase inversion temperature (PIT). RESULTS: The MEs was composed with EL-40 as a surfactant and specifically with the addition of ethanol as a cosurfactant in NA-loaded ME. The mean diameters of ATSO-loaded ME and NA-loaded ME were 39.65 ± 0.24 nm and 32.90 ± 2.65 nm, and PDI were 0.49 ± 0.01 and 0.28 ± 0.14, respectively. The TEM confirmed the spherical and smooth morphology of MEs. The rheological results indicated that MEs are dilatant fluids with the advantages of low viscosity, high fluidity, and tolerance to temperature fluctuations. The mean diameter and PDI of MEs showed no significant change after storage at 25 °C for 28 days and centrifugation. CONCLUSION: The prepared microemulsions could expand the application prospects of ATSO and NA products in cosmetics, medicine, foods and other fields.

Responses of Protozoan Communities to Multiple Environmental Stresses (Warming, Eutrophication, and Pesticide Pollution).

To explore the impacts of multiple environmental stressors on animal communities in aquatic ecosystems, we selected protozoa-a highly sensitive group of organisms-to assess the effect of environmental change. To conduct this simulation we conducted a three-factor, outdoor, mesocosm experiment from March to November 2021. Changes in the community structure and functional group composition of protozoan communities under the separate and combined effects of these three environmental stressors were investigated by warming and the addition of nitrogen, phosphorus, and pesticides. The results were as follows: (1) Both eutrophication and pesticides had a considerable promotional effect on the abundance and biomass of protozoa; the effect of warming was not considerable. When warming was combined with eutrophication and pesticides, there was a synergistic effect and antagonistic effect, respectively. (2) Eutrophication promoted α diversity of protozoa and affected their species richness and dominant species composition; the combination of warming and pesticides remarkably reduced the α diversity of protozoa. (3) Warming, eutrophication, and pesticides were important factors affecting the functional groups of protozoa. Interaction among different environmental factors could complicate changes in the aquatic ecological environment and its protozoan communities. Indeed, in the context of climate change, it might be more difficult to predict future trends in the protozoan community. Therefore, our results provide a scientific basis for the protection and restoration of shallow lake ecosystems; they also offer valuable insights in predicting changes in shallow lakes.

The Effect of Different Substances Embedded in Fullerene Cavity on Surfactant Self-Assembly Behavior through Molecular Dynamics Simulation.

Fullerene-based amphiphiles are new types of monomers that form self-assemblies with profound applications. The conical fullerene amphiphiles (CFAs) have attracted attention for their uniquely self-assembled structures and have opened up a new field for amphiphile research. The CFAs and CFAs with different substances embedded in cavities are designed and their self-assembly behaviors are investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The surface and internal structures of the micelles are analyzed from various perspectives, including micelle size, shape, and solvent-accessible surface area (SASA). The systems studied are all oblate micelles. In comparison, embedding Cl- or embedding Na+ in the cavities results in larger micelles and a larger deviation from the spherical shape. Two typical configurations of fullerene surfactant micelles, quadrilateral plane and tetrahedral structure, are presented. The dipole moments of the fullerene molecules are also calculated, and the results show that the embedded negatively charged Cl- leads to a decrease in the polarity of the pure fullerene molecules, while the embedded positively charged Na+ leads to an increase.

Receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases of different subfamilies differentially regulate SOBIR1/BAK1-mediated immune responses in Nicotiana benthamiana.

Cell-surface receptors form the front line of plant immunity. The leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-receptor-like kinases SOBIR1 and BAK1 are required for the functionality of the tomato LRR-receptor-like protein Cf-4, which detects the secreted effector Avr4 of the pathogenic fungus Fulvia fulva. Here, we show that the kinase domains of SOBIR1 and BAK1 directly phosphorylate each other and that residues Thr522 and Tyr469 of the kinase domain of Nicotiana benthamiana SOBIR1 are required for its kinase activity and for interacting with signalling partners, respectively. By knocking out multiple genes belonging to different receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase (RLCK)-VII subfamilies in N. benthamiana:Cf-4, we show that members of RLCK-VII-6, -7, and -8 differentially regulate the Avr4/Cf-4-triggered biphasic burst of reactive oxygen species. In addition, members of RLCK-VII-7 play an essential role in resistance against the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora palmivora. Our study provides molecular evidence for the specific roles of RLCKs downstream of SOBIR1/BAK1-containing immune complexes.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Self-Incompatibility in Alfalfa.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is an important forage crop worldwide, but molecular genetics and breeding research in this species are hindered by its self-incompatibility (SI). Although the mechanisms underlying SI have been extensively studied in other plant families, SI in legumes, including alfalfa, remains poorly understood. Here, we determined that self-pollinated pollen tubes could germinate on the stigma of alfalfa, grow through the style, and reach the ovarian cavity, but the ovules collapsed ~48 h after self-pollination. A transcriptomic analysis of dissected pistils 24 h after self-pollination identified 941 differently expressed genes (DEGs), including 784 upregulated and 157 downregulated genes. A gene ontology (GO) analysis showed that the DEGs were highly enriched in functions associated with the regulation of pollen tube growth and pollen germination. A Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis indicated that pentose and glucuronate interconversion, plant hormone signal transduction, the spliceosome, and ribosomes might play important roles in SI. Our co-expression analysis showed that F-box proteins, serine/threonine protein kinases, calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs), bHLHs, bZIPs, and MYB-related family proteins were likely involved in the SI response. Our study provides a catalog of candidate genes for further study to understand SI in alfalfa and related legumes.

Understanding community-dwelling older adults' preferences for home- and community-based services: A conjoint analysis.

BACKGROUND: Older adults' preference for home- and community-based service programs has been highlighted as an essential but usually ignored ingredient in current care models. Disentangling how preferences contribute to older adults' decision-making could facilitate finding optimal ways to deliver home- and community-based services in times of increasing scarcity. OBJECTIVE: To identify Chinese community-dwelling older adults' preference structure for home- and community-based services and thus to optimize service provision. METHODS: Conjoint analysis, a preference-based technique, was employed to study older adults' preferences. A stepwise qualitative approach was first adopted to identify the attributes and attribute levels of home- and community-based services. Scenarios were defined through an orthogonal fractional factorial design, and a cross-sectional survey was conducted through a face-to-face, anonymous questionnaire. Conjoint analysis was performed to determine preference weights representing the relative importance of the identified attributes, and cluster analysis was performed to identify clusters of participants with similar preference structures. All data analyses were performed using SAS v9.4 and SPSS 22.0. RESULTS: A total of 321 of 350 invited participants completed the questionnaire. Four attributes were identified and used to create the conjoint scenarios: care-giving attitude, price, technical care-giving skills, and the type of service provider. Care-giving attitude was the most valued attribute for older adults when making decisions (relative importance score = 48.28), followed by price (relative importance score = 21.618), technical care-giving skills (relative importance score = 19.518), and finally, the type of service provider (relative importance score = 10.585). Three preference phenotypes were identified by applying cluster analysis: "price-oriented", "comprehensively balanced", and "attitude-oriented". CONCLUSION: The present study underscored the importance of considering attributes valued by Chinese older adults in the design and delivery of home- and community-based services. The preference structure, including the utility score of the attribute levels, differs among older adults. The findings could inform future research and practice and suggest incorporating flexibility during the service delivery stage.

Inferring the diagnostic potential of 18F-FDG-PET/CT in post-renal transplantation from a unique case harboring multiple rare complications.

Renal transplantation is undoubtedly an effective treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease, but it is certainly not a cure. Patients require lifelong immunosuppression to maintain optimal allograft function, and post-operative risk complications such as cancer in the transplant recipient cannot be ignored. Besides, infection is a silent complication that follows transplantation. Relatedly, herein, we present a report of a 40-year-old patient who underwent renal transplantation and promptly developed a diffuse large B-cell tumor in the liver and Aspergillus infection in the trachea. In addition, an inflammatory necrotizing granuloma was also observed in the muscles. Of importance, we also described the potential of 18F-FDG-PET/CT, which was instrumental in monitoring and evaluating these relevant post-operative complications in this rare case.

Therapeutic effects and molecular mechanisms of natural products in thrombosis.

Thrombotic disorders, such as myocardial infarction and stroke, are the leading cause of death in the global population and have become a health problem worldwide. Drug therapy is one of the main antithrombotic strategies, but antithrombotic drugs are not completely safe, especially the risk of bleeding at therapeutic doses. Recently, natural products have received widespread interest due to their significant efficacy and high safety, and an increasing number of studies have demonstrated their antithrombotic activity. In this review, articles from databases, such as Web of Science, PubMed, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, were filtered and the relevant information was extracted according to predefined criteria. As a result, more than 100 natural products with significant antithrombotic activity were identified, including flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, quinones, terpenoids, steroids, and alkaloids. These compounds exert antithrombotic effects by inhibiting platelet activation, suppressing the coagulation cascade, and promoting fibrinolysis. In addition, several natural products also inhibit thrombosis by regulating miRNA expression, anti-inflammatory, and other pathways. This review systematically summarizes the natural products with antithrombotic activity, including their therapeutic effects, mechanisms, and clinical applications, aiming to provide a reference for the development of new antithrombotic drugs.

HNF4A as a potential target of PFOA and PFOS leading to hepatic steatosis: Integrated molecular docking, molecular dynamic and transcriptomic analyses.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) are indeed among the most well known and extensively studied Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), and increasing evidence confirm their effects on human health, especially liver steatosis. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms of their initiation of hepatic steatosis is still elusive. Therefore, potential targets of PFOA/PFOS must be explored to ameliorate its adverse consequences. This research aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms of PFOA and PFOS-induced liver steatosis, with emphasis on identifying a potential target that links these PFASs to liver steatosis. The potential target that causes PFOA and PFOS-induced liver steatosis have been explored and determined based on molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and transcriptomics analysis. In silico results show that PFOA/PFOS can form a stable binding conformation with HNF4A, and PFOA/PFOS may interact with HNF4A to affect the downstream conduction mechanism. Transcriptome data from PFOA/PFOS-induced human stem cell spheres showed that HNF4A was inhibited, suggesting that PFOA/PFOS may constrain its function. PFOS mainly down-regulated genes related to cholesterol synthesis while PFOA mainly up-regulated genes related to fatty acid ß-oxidation. This study explored the toxicological mechanism of liver steatosis caused by PFOA/PFOS. These compounds might inhibit and down-regulate HNF4A, which is the molecular initiation events (MIE) that induces liver steatosis.

Refine localizations of functional variants affecting eggshell color of Lueyang black-boned chicken in the SLCO1B3.

Table eggs with color-uniformity shell are visually attractive for consumers. Lueyang black-boned chicken (LBC) lays colorful eggs, which is undesirable for sale of table eggs, but provides a segregating population for mapping functional variants affecting eggshell color. SLCO1B3 was identified as the causative gene for blue eggs in the Dongxiang and Araucana chickens. The aim of this study is to map functional variants associated with chicken eggshell color in the SLCO1B3. Eggshell color of LBC (n = 383) was measured using the L*a*b color space. SLCO1B3 was resequencing using a subset (n = 30) of 383 samples. Linkage disequilibrium among 139 SNP was analyzed. Association of 16 SNP in the SLCO1B3 and 8 in CPOX, ALAS1, and ABCG2 genes with L*a*b were tested by a polygenic model (LMM) and a polygenic/oligogenic mixed model (BSLMM). Chromatin state annotations were retrieved from the UCSC database. Effect of SLCO1B3 variants distributed in mapping and upstream 1.6-kb regions on promoter activities were analyzed using dual-luciferase reporter assay. One hundred and thirty-nine variants maintained low linkage disequilibrium with 80% of r2 less than 0.226. Fifteen SLCO1B3 variants were significantly associated with a*, of which 1B3_SNP108 was showed the strongest association and the largest effect on a*. In the BSLMM, 1B3_SNP108 alone appeared in the Markov chain Monte Carlo as major variants in 100% of posterior inclusion probability. None of variants in CPOX, ALAS1, and ABCG2 were significantly associated with color indexes except that 2 ALAS1 variants were associated with L*. 1B3_SNP108 distributes in the Intron4 where 6 active enhancers and 1 ATAC island were enriched. However, 1B3_SNP108-containing constructs showed negligible activities in the reporter assay. No significant differences of activities between haplotypes were found for five 5'-deleted promoter constructs. The data recognizes 1B3_SNP108 as a valuable marker for breeding of eggshell color. Functional variants are localized in the region adjacent to the 1B3_SNP108 due to low linkage disequilibrium in the LBC. Our findings extend the role of SLCO1B3 from a causative gene for blue eggs to a major regulator driving continuous variation of LBC eggshell color.

Methane Oxidation Coupled to Selenate Reduction in a Membrane Bioreactor under Oxygen-Limiting Conditions.

Microbial methane oxidation coupled to a selenate reduction process has been proposed as a promising solution to treat contaminated water, yet the underlying microbial mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, a novel methane-based membrane bioreactor system integrating hollow fiber membranes for efficient gas delivery and ultrafiltration membranes for biomass retention was established to successfully enrich abundant suspended cultures able to perform methane-dependent selenate reduction under oxygen-limiting conditions. The microbial metabolic mechanisms were then systematically investigated through a combination of short-term batch tests, DNA-based stable isotope probing (SIP) microcosm incubation, and high-throughput sequencing analyses of 16S rRNA gene and functional genes (pmoA and narG). We confirmed that the methane-supported selenate reduction process was accomplished by a microbial consortia consisting of type-II aerobic methanotrophs and several heterotrophic selenate reducers. The mass balance and validation tests on possible intermediates suggested that methane was partially oxidized into acetate under oxygen-limiting conditions, which was consumed as a carbon source for selenate-reducing bacteria. High-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing, DNA-SIP incubation with 13CH4, and subsequent functional gene (pmoA and narG) sequencing results collectively proved that Methylocystis actively executed partial methane oxidation and Acidovorax and Denitratisoma were dominant selenate-reducing bacteria, thus forming a syntrophic partnership to drive selenate reduction. The findings not only advance our understanding of methane oxidation coupled to selenate reduction under oxygen-limiting conditions but also offer useful information on developing methane-based biotechnology for bioremediation of selenate-contaminated water.

[Huangdi Anxiao Capsules-containing serum protects cell model from cognitive dysfunction in diabetes via inhibiting NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis].

This study aims to investigate the effects and the molecular mechanism of Huangdi Anxiao Capsules(HDAX)-containing serum in protecting the rat adrenal pheochromocytoma(PC12) cells from diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction induced by high glucose and whether the mechanism is related to the regulation of NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3)-mediated pyroptosis. The PC12 cell model of diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction induced by high glucose was established and mcc950 was used to inhibit NLRP3. PC12 cells were randomized into control, model, HDAX-containing serum, mcc950, and HDAX-containing serum+mcc950 groups. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay was employed to determine the viability, and Hoechst 33258/PI staining to detect pyroptosis of PC12 cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was employed to measure the levels of interleukin-1 beta(IL-1ß) and IL-18. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of postsynaptic density protein 95(PSD-95), NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD(ASC), gasdermin D(GSDMD), GSDMD-N, and cleaved cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1(caspase-1), and RT-PCR to determine the mRNA levels of NLRP3, ASC, GSDMD, and caspase-1. The immunofluorescence assay was adopted to measure the levels and distribution of NLRP3 and GSDMD-N in PC12 cells. Compared with the control group, the model group showed decreased cell proliferation, increased PI positive rate, down-regulated protein level of PSD-95, up-regulated protein levels of NLRP3, ASC, GSDMD-N, GSDMD, and cleaved caspase-1, up-regulated mRNA levels of NLRP3, ASC, GSDMD, and caspase-1, and elevated levels of IL-1ß and IL-18. Compared with the model group, HDAX-containing serum, mcc950, and the combination of them improved cell survival rate and morphology, decreased the PI positive rate, down-regulated the protein levels of NLRP3, ASC, GSDMD-N, GSDMD, and cleaved caspase-1 and the mRNA levels of NLRP3, ASC, GSDMD, and caspase-1, and promoted the secretion of IL-1ß and IL-18. The findings demonstrated that HDAX-containing serum can inhibit the pyroptosis-mediated by NLRP3 and protect PC12 cells from the cognitive dysfunction induced by high glucose.

Systematic integration of m6A regulators and autophagy-related genes in combination with long non-coding RNAs predicts survival in glioblastoma multiforme.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is probably the only tumor in which a unique epigenetic alteration, namely methylation of the MGMT gene, possesses direct clinical relevance. Now with the emergence of aberrant N6 methyladenosine (m6A) modifications (the most common epigenetic modification of mRNA, closely linked to the autophagy process) in cancer, the epi-transcriptomic landscape of GBM pathobiology has been expanded. Considering this, herein, we systematically analyzed m6A regulators, assessed their correlation with autophagy-related genes (ATG), and established a long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA)-dependent prognostic signature (m6A-autophagy-lncRNAs) for GBM. Our analysis identified a novel signature of five long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs: ITGA6-AS1, AC124248.1, NFYC-AS1, AC025171.1, and AC005229.3) associated with survival of GBM patients, and four among them clearly showed cancer-associated potential. We further validated and confirmed the altered expression of two lncRNAs (AC124248.1, AC005229.3) in GBM associated clinical samples using RT-PCR. Concerning the prognostic ability, the obtained signature determined high-/low-risk groups in GBM patients and showed sensitivity to anticancer drugs. Collectively, the m6A-autophagy-lncRNAs signature presented in the study is clinically relevant and is the first attempt to systematically predict the potential interaction between the three key determinants (m6A, autophagy, lncRNA) in cancer, particularly in GBM.

Glycosylation Contributes to Thermostability and Proteolytic Resistance of rFIP-nha (Nectria haematococca).

Glycosylation is an important post-translational modification of proteins, contributing to protein function, stability and subcellular localization. Fungal immunomodulatory proteins (FIPs) are a group of small proteins with notable immunomodulatory activity, some of which are glycoproteins. In this study, the impact of glycosylation on the bioactivity and biochemical characteristics of FIP-nha (from Nectria haematococca) is described. Three rFIP-nha glycan mutants (N5A, N39A, N5+39A) were constructed and expressed in Pichia pastoris to study the functionality of the specific N-glycosylation on amino acid N5 and N39. Their protein characteristics, structure, stability and activity were tested. WT and mutants all formed tetramers, with no obvious difference in crystal structures. Their melting temperatures were 82.2 °C (WT), 81.4 °C (N5A), 80.7 °C (N39A) and 80.1 °C (N5+39A), indicating that glycosylation improves thermostability of rFIP-nha. Digestion assays showed that glycosylation on either site improved pepsin resistance, while 39N-glycosylation was important for trypsin resistance. Based on the 3D structure and analysis of enzyme cleavage sites, we conclude that glycosylation might interfere with hydrolysis via increasing steric hindrance. WT and mutants exerted similar bioactivity on tumor cell metabolism and red blood cells hemagglutination. Taken together, these findings indicate that glycosylation of FIP-nha impacts its thermostability and digestion resistance.

A rare imaging presentation with multisystemic clinicopathological features of Langerhans cell histiocytosis: Case report and literature review.

RATIONALE: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a kind of rare disease in which dendritic cells proliferate abnormally. It often occurs in children and can involve any tissue and organ. The affected sites usually include bone, skin, pituitary gland, and lungs, while the thyroid gland and external auditory canal are rarely observed. The perineal and labial involvement of this disease has not been reported yet. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 47-year-old female patient experienced a swelling of the anterior neck area without an obvious inducement. She noticed a quail egg-like mass on the left side, and the mass increased progressively within 3 months. The anterior neck area was found to be swollen, and some flaky red rashes were seen on the scalp and bilateral external auditory canals. DIAGNOSES: Imaging examination showed enlarged thyroid and cervical lymph nodes, multiple low-density nodules in the liver, and reduced signal in the posterior pituitary gland. The biopsy pathological result of the increased left cervical lymph node indicated that LCH was detected. INTERVENTIONS: VP regimen (vincristine, dexamethasone per os) and related supportive treatments were given as inducing chemotherapy for 6 weeks. OUTCOMES: After the second chemotherapy, the rash on the scalp and external auditory canal improved, and the neck mass was significantly reduced. After the third chemotherapy, the rash was mostly disappeared, while the neck lumps increased during chemotherapy. Thus, clatribine chemotherapy was recommended as the follow-up. LESSONS: Imaging examinations played an important role in the diagnosis and follow-up of the disease, especially 18F-FDG PET/CT, which could show multiple involving organs at the same time. When a patient suffering from diabetes insipidus, skin rash, or fever, has a high FDG uptake PET/CT result in multiple tissues and organs throughout the body, it is necessary to consider the possibility of LCH.

Computational analysis of heat shock proteins and ferroptosis-associated lncRNAs to predict prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia patients.

Owing to their functional diversity in many cancers, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are receiving special attention. LncRNAs not only function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors by participating in various signaling pathways but also serve as predictive markers for various types of cancer, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Considering this, we investigated lncRNAs that may act as a mediator between two processes, i.e., heat shock proteins and ferroptosis, which appear to be closely related in tumorigenesis. Using a comprehensive bioinformatics approach, we identified four lncRNAs (AL138716.1, AC000120.1, AC004947.1, and LINC01547) with prognostic value in AML patients. Of interest, two of them (AC000120.1 and LINC01547) have already been reported to be AML-related, and AC004947.1 is considered to have oncogenic potential. In particular, the signature obtained showed a lower survival probability with high-risk patients, and vice versa. To our knowledge, this is the first predictive model of lncRNA that may correlate with the processes of heat shock proteins and ferroptosis in AML. Nevertheless, validation using patient samples is warranted.
