文摘Meniscal injury presents a formidable challenge and often leads to functional impairment and osteoarthritic progression.Meniscus tissue engineering(MTE)is a promising solution,as conventional strategies for modu-lating local immune responses and generating a conducive microenvironment for effective tissue repair are lacking.Recently,magnesium-containing bioactive glass nanospheres(Mg-BGNs)have shown promise in tissue regeneration.However,few studies have explored the ability of Mg-BGNs to promote meniscal regeneration.First,we verified the anti-inflammatory and fibrochondrogenic abilities of Mg-BGNs in vitro.A comprehensive in vivo evaluation of a rabbit critical-size meniscectomy model revealed that Mg-BGNs have multiple effects on meniscal reconstruction and effectively promote fibrochondrogenesis,collagen deposition,and cartilage pro-tection.Multiomics analysis was subsequently performed to further explore the mechanism by which Mg-BGNs regulate the regenerative microenvironment.Mechanistically,Mg-BGNs first activate the TRPM7 ion channel through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to promote the cellular function of synovium-derived mesenchymal stem cells and then activate the PPARγ/NF-κB axis to modulate macrophage polarization and inflammatory reactions.We demonstrated that Mg^(2+)is critical for the crosstalk among biomaterials,immune cells,and effector cells in Mg-BGN-mediated tissue regeneration.This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of Mg-BGNs as nanomedicines to achieve in situ tissue regeneration in complex intrajoint pathological microenvironments.

文摘Background:Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(iCCA)is a highly heteroge-neous and lethal hepatobiliary tumor with few therapeutic strategies.The metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells plays an essential role in the develop-ment of tumors,while the metabolic molecular classification of iCCA is largely unknown.Here,we performed an integrated multiomics analysis and metabolic classification to depict differences in metabolic characteristics of iCCA patients,hoping to provide a novel perspective to understand and treat iCCA.Methods:We performed integrated multiomics analysis in 116 iCCA samples,including whole-exome sequencing,bulk RNA-sequencing and proteome anal-ysis.Based on the non-negative matrix factorization method and the protein abundance of metabolic genes in human genome-scale metabolic models,the metabolic subtype of iCCA was determined.Survival and prognostic gene analy-ses were used to compare overall survival(OS)differences between metabolic subtypes.Cell proliferation analysis,5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine(EdU)assay,colony formation assay,RNA-sequencing and Western blotting were performed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of diacylglycerol kinaseα(DGKA)in iCCA cells.Results:Three metabolic subtypes(S1-S3)with subtype-specific biomarkers of iCCA were identified.These metabolic subtypes presented with distinct prog-noses,metabolic features,immune microenvironments,and genetic alterations.The S2 subtype with the worst survival showed the activation of some special metabolic processes,immune-suppressed microenvironment and Kirsten ratsar-coma viral oncogene homolog(KRAS)/AT-rich interactive domain 1A(ARID1A)mutations.Among the S2 subtype-specific upregulated proteins,DGKA was further identified as a potential drug target for iCCA,which promoted cell proliferation by enhancing phosphatidic acid(PA)metabolism and activating mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signaling.Conclusion:Viamultiomics analyses,we identified three metabolic subtypes of iCCA,revealing that the S2 subtype exhibited the poorest survival outcomes.We further identified DGKA as a potential target for the S2 subtype.

文摘Despite the success of antiretroviral therapy,human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)cannot be cured because of a reservoir of latently infected cells that evades therapy.To understand the mechanisms of HIV latency,we employed an integrated single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)and single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing(scATAC-seq)approach to simultaneously profile the transcriptomic and epigenomic characteristics of~125,000 latently infected primary CD4^(+)T cells after reactivation using three different latency reversing agents.Differentially expressed genes and differentially accessible motifs were used to examine transcriptional pathways and transcription factor(TF)activities across the cell population.We identified cellular transcripts and TFs whose expression/activity was correlated with viral reactivation and demonstrated that a machine learning model trained on these data was 75%-79%accurate at predicting viral reactivation.Finally,we validated the role of two candidate HIV-regulating factors,FOXP1 and GATA3,in viral transcription.These data demonstrate the power of integrated multimodal single-cell analysis to uncover novel relationships between host cell factors and HIV latency.

文摘During the process of carcinogenesis and tumor progression,various molecular alternations occur in different omics levels.In recent years,multiomics approaches including genomics,epigenetics,transcriptomics,proteomics,metabolomics,single-cell omics,and spatial omics have been applied in mapping diverse omics profiles of cancers.The development of high-throughput technologies such as sequencing and mass spectrometry has revealed different omics levels of tumor cells or tissues separately.While focusing on a single omics level results in a lack of accuracy,joining multiple omics approaches together undoubtedly benefits accurate molecular subtyping and precision medicine for cancer patients.With the deepening of tumor research in recent years,taking pathological classification as the only criterion of diagnosis and predicting prognosis and treatment response is found to be not accurate enough.Therefore,identifying precise molecular subtypes by exploring the molecular alternations during tumor occurrence and development is of vital importance.The review provides an overview of the advanced technologies and recent progress in multiomics applied in cancer molecular subtyping and detailedly explains the application of multiomics in identifying cancer driver genes and metastasis-related genes,exploring tumor microenvironment,and selecting liquid biopsy biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets.

文摘Identifying cancer driver genes has paramount significance in elucidating the intricate mechanisms underlying cancer development,progression,and therapeutic interventions.Abundant omics data and interactome networks provided by numerous extensive databases enable the application of graph deep learning techniques that incorporate network structures into the deep learning framework.However,most existing models primarily focus on individual network,inevitably neglecting the incompleteness and noise of interactions.Moreover,samples with imbalanced classes in driver gene identification hamper the performance of models.To address this,we propose a novel deep learning framework MMGN,which integrates multiplex networks and pan-cancer multiomics data using graph neural networks combined with negative sample inference to discover cancer driver genes,which not only enhances gene feature learning based on the mutual information and the consensus regularizer,but also achieves balanced class of positive and negative samples for model training.The reliability of MMGN has been verified by the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curves(AUROC)and the Area Under the Precision-Recall Curves(AUPRC).We believe MMGN has the potential to provide new prospects in precision oncology and may find broader applications in predicting biomarkers for other intricate diseases.

文摘The security of the seed industry is crucial for ensuring national food security.Currently,developed countries in Europe and America,along with international seed industry giants,have entered the Breeding 4.0 era.This era integrates biotechnology,artificial intelligence(AI),and big data information technology.In contrast,China is still in a transition period between stages 2.0 and 3.0,which primarily relies on conventional selection and molecular breeding.In the context of increasingly complex international situations,accurately identifying core issues in China's seed industry innovation and seizing the frontier of international seed technology are strategically important.These efforts are essential for ensuring food security and revitalizing the seed industry.This paper systematically analyzes the characteristics of crop breeding data from artificial selection to intelligent design breeding.It explores the applications and development trends of AI and big data in modern crop breeding from several key perspectives.These include highthroughput phenotype acquisition and analysis,multiomics big data database and management system construction,AI-based multiomics integrated analysis,and the development of intelligent breeding software tools based on biological big data and AI technology.Based on an in-depth analysis of the current status and challenges of China's seed industry technology development,we propose strategic goals and key tasks for China's new generation of AI and big data-driven intelligent design breeding.These suggestions aim to accelerate the development of an intelligent-driven crop breeding engineering system that features large-scale gene mining,efficient gene manipulation,engineered variety design,and systematized biobreeding.This study provides a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the development of China's seed industry technology.
文摘Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD),formerly known as nonalcoho-lic fatty liver disease,is an increasing global health challenge with substantial implications for metabolic and cardiovascular health(CVH).A recent study by Fu et al investigated the relationship between CVH metrics,specifically Life’s Simple 7 and Life’s Essential 8,and the prevalence of MAFLD.While this study offered important insights into the relationship between CVH and MAFLD,several me-thodological limitations,unaddressed confounding factors,and potential biases that could impact the interpretation of their findings should be considered.The study’s cross-sectional nature restricted the ability to draw causal conclusions,and it did not fully account for potential confounding factors such as dietary habits,genetic predispositions,and medication use.Furthermore,relying on tran-sient elastography to diagnose MAFLD introduces certain diagnostic limitations.Longitudinal study designs,advanced statistical modeling techniques,and diverse population groups should be utilized to strengthen future research.Exploring the mechanistic pathways that link CVH metrics to MAFLD through multi-omics approaches and interventional studies will be essential in formulating targeted prevention and treatment strategies.Structural equation modeling and machine learning techniques could provide a more refined analysis of these interrelated factors.Additionally,future research should employ longitudinal study designs and explore genetic and epigenetic influences to enhance our un-derstanding of CVH and MAFLD interactions.

文摘Pu-erh tea,a traditional Chinese beverage,performs an anti-obesity function,but the correlation between its components and efficacy remains unknown.Here,we screened two Pu-erh teas with significant anti-obesity efficacies from 11 teas.In vitro experiments revealed that lipid accumulation in L02 cells and lipid synthesis in 3T3-L1 cells were significantly better inhibited by Tea-B than Tea-A.Further in vivo experiments using model mice revealed that the differences in chemical components generated two pathways in the anti-obesity efficacy and mechanism of Pu-erh teas.Tea-A changes the histomorphology of brown adipose tissue(BAT)and increases the abundance of Coriobacteriaceae_UCG_002 and cyclic AMP in guts through high chemical contents of cyclopentasiloxane,decamethyl,tridecane and 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene,eventually increasing BAT activation and fat browning gene expression;the high content of hexadecane and 1,2-dimethoxybenzene in Tea-B reduces white adipose tissue(WAT)accumulation and the process of fatty liver,increases the abundance of Odoribacter and sphinganine 1-phosphate,inhibits the expression of lipid synthesis and transport genes.These mechanistic findings on the association of the representative bioactive components in Pu-erh teas with the anti-obesity phenotypes,gut microbes,gut metabolite structure and anti-obesity pathways,which were obtained for the first time,provide foundations for developing functional Pu-erh tea.
文摘Alcohol-related liver disease(ARLD)remains a major public health concern,often diagnosed at advanced stages with limited treatment options.Early identification of high-risk individuals is crucial for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.Artificial intelligence(AI)has emerged as a powerful tool for predicting ARLD,leveraging multi-omics data,machine learning algorithms,and non-invasive biomarkers.This review explores the current advancements in AIdriven ARLD prediction,highlighting key methodologies such as multi-omics data integration,gut microbiome-based modeling,and predictive analytics using machine learning techniques.AI models incorporating transcriptomics,proteomics,and clinical data have demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy,with some achieving an area under the curve exceeding 0.90.Furthermore,non-invasive biomarkers,including liver stiffness measurements and circulating proteomic panels,have been successfully integrated into AI frameworks for early detection and risk stratification.Despite these advancements,challenges such as data heterogeneity,model generalizability,and ethical considerations remain.Future directions include the development of advanced biomarker discovery,wearable and point-of-care AI-integrated technologies,and precision medicine approaches tailored to individual risk profiles.AI-driven models hold significant potential in transforming ARLD prediction and management,ultimately contributing to early diagnosis and improved clinical outcomes.

文摘BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is notorious for its aggressive progression and dismal prognosis,with chromatin accessibility dynamics emerging as pivotal yet poorly understood drivers.AIM To dissect how multilayered chromatin regulation sustains oncogenic transcription and tumor-stroma crosstalk in HCC,we combined multiomics single cell analysis.METHODS We integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and paired single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing data of HCC samples,complemented by bulk RNA sequencing validation across The Cancer Genome Atlas,Liver Cancer Institute,and GSE25907 cohorts.Cell type-specific chromatin architectures were resolved via ArchR,with regulatory hubs identified through peak-to-gene linkages and coaccessibility networks.Functional validation employed A485-mediated histone 3 lysine 27 acetylation suppression and small interfering RNA targeting DGAT1.RESULTS Malignant hepatocytes exhibited expanded chromatin accessibility profiles,characterized by increased numbers of accessible peaks and larger physical regions despite reduced peak intensity.Enhancer-like peaks enriched in malignant regulation,forming long-range hubs.Eighteen enhancer-like peak-related genes showed tumor-specific overexpression and diagnostic accuracy,correlating with poor prognosis.Intercellular coaccessibility analysis revealed tumor-stroma symbiosis via shared chromatin states.Pharmacological histone 3 lysine 27 acetylation inhibition paradoxically downregulated DGAT1,the hub gene most strongly regulated by chromatin accessibility.DGAT1 knockdown suppressed cell proliferation.CONCLUSION Multilayered chromatin reprogramming sustains HCC progression through tumor-stroma crosstalk and DGAT1-related oncogenic transcription,defining targetable epigenetic vulnerabilities.
