Abnormal fatty acid metabolism is one of the unique metabolic ways in which malignant cells maintain their growth needs and plays a crucial role in tumor progression.Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is the rate-limiting enzyme in fatty acid synthesis and oxidative metabolism.More and more researches confirm that ACC is highly expressed in many tumors,and is closely related to tumor progression and prognosis of patients,which makes ACC as a potential marker for clinical diagnosis and prognosis.Tumor cell fatty acid synthesis can be blocked and fatty acid β oxidation can be stimulated by inhibiting the activity of ACC,resulting in serious lipid consumption of tumor,and then inhibit tumor growth and proliferation.Investigating the effect and molecular mechanisms of ACC in the genesis and development of tumors can provide a new insight into cancer targeted molecular therapy.

In addition to causing high disability and high fatality rates, ruptured intracranial aneurysms can also cause cognitive impairment. Although preventive surgical treatment can avoid intracranial aneurysm rupture and bleeding, patients may still have a certain degree of cognitive impairment, even in patients with good clinical recovery after surgery. There is no systematic review on the effect of different surgical methods on cognitive function, and the best surgical method is still inconclusive. This article reviews the cognitive impairment in patients with intracranial aneurysm, hoping to provide a basis for clinical treatment decisions.

BACKGROUND:The dysfunction of bladder function caused by spinal cord injury is a difficult point in clinical treatment and a hot spot in research.Repairing the injured spinal cord and remodeling the bladder micturition reflex pathway are the fundamental treatment methods. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the reconstruction of the bladder innervation pathway after spinal cord transection injury and its related influencing factors. METHODS:The relevant literature concerning the reconstruction of bladder micturition reflex,neurogenic bladder and urinary reflex and spinal cord repair was retrieved on CNKI,WanFang Data,PubMed and Web of Science.Chinese and English search terms were"neurogenic bladder;spinal cord injury;micturition reflex;spinal cord repair". RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the process of reconstructing the bladder micturition reflex,there are many factors involved,including the repair and reconstruction of the injured spinal cord,the remodeling of micturition center,the changes of bladder tissue and substances and hormones in and out of the body.In this process,there are mainly the following problems:(1)As a complex process,there are many sites involved in the reconstruction of the micturition reflex,so the main sites of action can be selected for in-depth study,so as to break through the doubts existing in the reconstruction of the micturition reflex pathway.(2)The mechanism of the normal micturition reflex is complex.After spinal cord transection injury,whether the central nucleus mass controlling or participating in the micturition reflex is compensated and the corresponding compensatory mechanism needs to be further investigated.(3)Information communication between the center and the bladder is interrupted after spinal cord transection injury.Whether there is a direct information connection between the center and the bladder remains to be further investigated.(4)The relationship between reconstructing micturition reflex and body fluid after spinal cord transection injury needs further study.In the reconstruction of the bladder micturition reflex,the key treatment is to promote spinal cord repair,nerve reflex reconstruction,substance metabolism and bladder tissue structure adjustment through intervention.Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their methods.

Neuroplastin 65 (Np65) is an immunoglobulin superfamily cell adhesion molecule involved in synaptic formation and plasticity. Our recent study showed that Np65-knockout (KO) mice exhibit abnormal cognition and emotional disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we found 588 differentially-expressed genes in Np65-KO mice by microarray analysis. RT-PCR analysis also revealed the altered expression of genes associated with development and synaptic structure, such as Cdh1, Htr3a, and Kcnj9. In addition, the expression of Wnt-3, a Wnt protein involved in development, was decreased in Np65-KO mice as evidenced by western blotting. Surprisingly, MRI and DAPI staining showed a significant reduction in the lateral ventricular volume of Np65-KO mice. Together, these findings suggest that ablation of Np65 influences gene expression, which may contribute to abnormal brain development. These results provide clues to the mechanisms underlying the altered brain functions of Np65-deficient mice.

ObjectiveTo provide a new idea for exploring the molecular genetic approach to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia via construction of microRNA-messenger RNA (miRNA-mRNA) regulatory network in schizophrenia. MethodsThe microarray datasets of GSE54578 miRNA expression profiles in peripheral blood and GSE145554 mRNA expression in the anterior cingulate in postmortem brain of schizophrenic subjects were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database since July 2021. The GEO2R was used to identify the differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs, screen the miRNA with target differentially expressed mRNA, and predict their potential upstream transcription factors. The overlapping genes from the mRNA targeted by the differentially expressed miRNA and the mRNA differentially expressed in GSE145554 dataset were collected. Then the biological features of hub genes were analyzed via Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and miRNA-mRNA regulatory network of hub genes were constructed. ResultsA total of 8 up-regulated differentially expressed miRNAs with targeted mRNA were screened out in GSE54578 datasets regarding schizophrenia, which involved in the regulation of 10 transcription factors, 247 down-regulated differentially expressed mRNAs were screened out in GSE145554 datasets, and 17 overlapping mRNAs were obtained. GO analysis showed that the target mRNAs were mainly involved in astrocyte differentiation and development. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the target mRNAs were mainly involved in Rap1 and Ras signaling pathways. PPI network analysis showed that the mRNAs (KRAS and CD28) might be key genes in schizophrenia. ConclusionThe integrated bioinformatics analysis based on GEO database can identify potential susceptibility genes in schizophrenia, and it also contributes to the construction of miRNA-mRNA regulatory network in schizophrenia.
