ObjectiveProtein-protein interactions (PPIs) are fundamental to the execution of biological functions within living cells. However, traditional biochemical methods, such as co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), often fail to capture transient, weak, or membrane-associated interactions due to the stringent detergent requirements for cell lysis. Proximity labeling (PL) has emerged in recent years as a transformative technology for mapping the proteomes of specific subcellular compartments and identifying dynamic interactomes in situ. Golgi protein 73 (GP73, also known as GOLPH2), a resident type II Golgi transmembrane protein, is a well-recognized clinical biomarker for liver diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite its clinical significance, the comprehensive physiological and pathological functions of GP73 remain partially understood. This study aims to establish an APEX2-mediated proximity labeling system specifically targeting GP73 to map its interactome in a living cellular environment, thereby providing new insights into its molecular roles and regulatory mechanisms. MethodsTo achieve spatial specificity, we first constructed a stable cell line expressing a fusion protein consisting of GP73 and the engineered soybean peroxidase APEX2. The localization of the GP73-APEX2 fusion protein was validated to ensure it correctly targeted the Golgi apparatus. The proximity labeling reaction was initiated by incubating the cells with biotin-phenol (BP) for 30 min, followed by a brief (1 min) treatment with1 mmol/L hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). This catalytic reaction converts BP into highly reactive, short-lived biotin-phenoxyl radicals that covalently attach to endogenous proteins within a small labeling radius of the GP73-APEX2 enzyme. Subsequently, the cells were quenched, and biotinylated proteins were enriched using high-affinity streptavidin-coated magnetic beads. The captured “neighbor” proteins were subjected to on-bead digestion and analyzed via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for high-throughput identification. Rigorous bioinformatics analysis, including Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, and protein-protein interaction network mapping, was performed to interpret the biological significance of the identified candidates. ResultsOur results demonstrate the successful establishment of a robust and sensitive APEX2-based proximity labeling system for GP73. We identified a total of 95 high-confidence interacting proteins that were significantly enriched in the GP73 proximity proteome compared to control groups. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that these interactors were predominantly associated with biological processes such as vesicular transport, protein localization, and, most notably, molecular functions related to “ribosome binding” and “translation regulation”. This suggested an unexpected role for the Golgi-resident GP73 in the cellular translation machinery. To validate these findings, we performed targeted biochemical assays which confirmed a direct interaction between GP73 and the subunits of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3) complex, specifically EIF3G and EIF3I. Furthermore, functional validation using the surface sensing of translation (SUnSET) assay—a non-radioactive method to monitor protein synthesis—revealed that the overexpression of GP73 significantly promoted global protein translation levels in the cell, whereas its depletion or inhibition resulted in reduced translation efficiency. ConclusionThis study successfully utilized APEX2-mediated proximity labeling to provide the first systematic map of GP73 interactome in living cells. Our findings uncover a novel, unconventional function of GP73 as a regulator of cellular protein translation, likely mediated through its interaction with the eIF3 complex. This discovery significantly broadens our understanding of the biological roles of GP73 beyond its traditional function in the Golgi apparatus and suggests that it may act as a bridge between Golgi-related trafficking and the protein synthesis machinery. Furthermore, the technical framework established in this study provides a valuable template for investigating other complex organelle-associated protein networks and resolving transient macromolecular interactions in various physiological and pathological contexts.

Objective:To investigate the factors associated with chromosomal abnormalities in embryos of patients with recurrent miscarriage in the in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) population, and to establish a prediction model for chromosomal abnormalities. Methods:This was a retrospective case-control study, aborted tissues were collected from 349 patients who attended the Reproductive and Genetic Laboratory Sports New Town Ward of Dalian Women's and Children's Medical Center (Group) after IVF/ICSI from September 2019 to October 2024, and the samples were examined by copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) combined with short tandem repeat (STR) technology. According to the test results, the aborted tissues were divided into chromosome normal and chromosome abnormal groups. Factors affecting the occurrence of chromosomal abnormalities were analyzed by univariate analysis and multifactorial logistic regression.Results:1) By CNV-seq combined with STR method, a total of 252 cases (72.21%, 252/349) of chromosomal abnormalities were detected, while 97 cases had normal chromosomes. 2) The results of univariate analysis showed that the differences in female age, female body mass index (BMI), gestational week, number of miscarriages, progesterone level after 14 d post-transplantation, ovarian reserve function, male age, and male BMI were statistically significant between the chromosome normal group and the chromosome abnormal group (all P<0.05). 3) The results of the multifactorial logistic regression model showed that female age ( OR=1.261, 95% CI: 1.137-1.398, P<0.001), female BMI ( OR=1.121, 95% CI: 1.038-1.227, P=0.004), gestational week ( OR=1.406, 95% CI: 1.155-1.711, P=0.001), progesterone level 14 d after transplantation ( OR=1.016, 95% CI: 1.000-1.031, P=0.043), and BMI of the male partner ( OR=1.132, 95% CI: 1.050-1.220, P=0.001) were the independent risk factors of chromosomal abnormalities. 4) There were statistically significant differences in female age, female BMI, gestational week, progesterone level 14 d after transplantation, and male BMI between patients with normal chromosomes and those with trisomy chromosomes in aborted tissues (all P<0.05).Advanced female age was correlated with the occurrence of trisomy 22 ( P<0.05), and there was a correlation between advanced female age and increased male BMI and the occurrence of trisomy 16 (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The increase in maternal age, BMI, gestational age, progesterone levels 14 d after transplantation, and male BMI can all lead to an increase in the rate of chromosomal abnormalities and an increase in the incidence of trisomy. The advanced age of the female, can lead to the occurrence of trisomy 22. The age of the female and the BMI of the male are positively correlated with the abnormality rate of trisomy 16.

Objective:To explore the guiding significance of Expanded Carrier Screening (ECS) for the fertility process of individuals undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) in Dalian.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the ECS results of patients who visited the Dalian Maternal and Child Health Care Center (Group) from January 2023 to June 2024. The study included the screening of 155 monogenic diseases and the ART status of carrier couples.Results:Among the 1 384 patient samples, 490 carriers were identified, yielding a detection rate of 35.41% (490/1 384). A total of 100 diseases and 91 pathogenic genes were detected. The most frequently identified disease was autosomal recessive hearing loss type 4 (SLC26A4), with a carrier rate of 3.54% (49/1384). For the 490 carriers, their partners were recalled for testing and, 322 partners participated. Eight high-risk couples were identified, accounting for 2.48% (8/322). Among the 322 couples, 4 used artificial insemination by husband (AIH, 1.24%, 4/322), 166 used in vitro fertilization (IVF, 51.55%, 166/322), 139 used intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI, 43.17%, 139/322), and 1 underwent preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic diseases (PGT-M, 0.31%, 1/322). Twelve couples (3.73%, 12/322) did not undergo ART, were not pregnant, or chose gamete donation. Among the eight high-risk couples, three underwent IVF, four underwent ICSI, and one underwent PGT-M. One couple conceived through ICSI, and the fetus was followed up. Amniotic fluid Sanger sequencing revealed that the fetus had compound heterozygous mutations in the PAH gene, with two suspected pathogenic variants at c.532G>A and c.1174T>A. One couple undergoing PGT-M currently has one retrieved oocyte and zero usable blastocysts. The embryo carries a paternal mutation and is aneuploid.Conclusions:This study not only identified the common pathogenic diseases in Dalian, providing a reference for clinical treatment, but also validated the critical significance of ECS for individuals undergoing ART.

Aim To study whether intravenous injec-tion of miR-129-3p mimetic(agomir)can resist bone loss caused by hind limb disuse,and to provide new i-deas for preventing bone loss in microgravity environ-ment.Methods Forty-eight C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into the control group(CON),tail suspension model group(TS),tail suspension+miR-129-3p agomir administration group(miRNA)and tail suspension+miR-129-3p negative sequence agomir control group(NC).The miRNA group was given 4 mg·kg-1 miR-129-3p agomir by intravenous injection into the medial canthus twice a week.The NC agomir group were consistent with those in the miR-129-3p agomir group,and the CON and TS groups were given only equal volumes of normal saline.After four weeks,all mice were sacrificed and samples were collected.Micro-CT scan of femur,three-point femur bending test,serum bone metabolism index detection,oxidative stress index detection and osteogenesis-related protein expression analysis in bone tissue were per-formed.Results After four weeks,the number of tra-becular bone in the TS group was significantly re-duced,and Tb.BMD,Tb.Th,Tb.N,Tb.BS/TV and Tb.BV/TV were significantly lower than those in the CON group(P＜0.01).While Tb.Sp TS group was significantly higher than the CON group(P＜0.05),the maximum load and flexural strength of the femur significantly decreased(P＜0.01),the content of ser-um bone formation index PINP was significantly lower than that of the CON group(P＜0.01),and the con-tent of bone resorption index CTX-I was significantly higher than that of the CON group(P＜0.01),the content of serum oxidative damage indexes 8-iso-PGF2α and 8-OHdG significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the expression of osteogenesis-related pro-teins in bone tissue markedly decreased(P＜0.01).However,the increase or decrease of all indexes in miRNA group was significantly lower than that in TS group.Conclusions miR-129-3p mimetic can signifi-cantly reduce bone loss caused by hind limb disuse.This experiment provides a new idea and method for preventing bone loss in microgravity environment.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of Doxycycline in the treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP). Methods:Case series study.A retrospective observational study was conducted on 202 patients diagnosed with MPP in Beijing United Family Hospital from January 2022 to January 2024.The patients were divided into 3 groups according to antibiotics used: Azithromycin group which enrolled 93 cases, 60 cases (Azithromycin alone group) were included after excluding 33 cases with adding steroids; Doxycycline group which enrolled 32 case, 31 cases (Doxycycline alone group) were included after excluding 1 case with adding steroids; Azithromycin switch to Doxycycline when diagnosed Macrolides-unresponsive MPP(MUMPP). Azithromycin switch to Doxycycline group which enrolled 77 cases, 73 cases (switch group) were included after excluding 4 cases with adding steroids.Results used the Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test or exact test analyse, comparing the differences in defervescene time, hospitalization day, outcomes and side effects in each group. Results:The fever duration in the Doxycycline alone group was 48(36, 48) h, which was significantly shorter than that in the Azithromycin alone group[120(120, 144) h] ( Z=-7.646, P<0.001). The hospitalization time in the Doxycycline alone group was [3(3, 4) d], which was significantly shorter than that in the Azithromycin alone group [4(3, 5) d] ( Z=-3.368, P=0.002). The medium fever duration in the switch group after Azithromycin was changed to Doxycycline was 48 h, which was not statistically significantly different from that in the Doxycycline alone group ( Z=-0.571, P=0.849). The medium hospitalization time in the switch group after Azithromycin changed to Doxycycline was 4 d, which was significantly longer than that in the Doxycycline alone group (3 d) ( Z=-2.759, P=0.008). Among 93 cases enrolled in the Azithromycin group, 33 cases (35.5%) converted to unresponsive MPP(UMPP), 23 cases (24.7%) progressed to refractory MPP (RMPP), and 33 cases (35.5%) added steroids.Among 32 cases included in the Doxycycline group, 1 case (3.1%) converted to UMPP, no case developed to RMPP, and 1 case (3.1%) added steroids.The above-mentioned 3 proportions were significantly different between the two groups (all P<0.001). Among 93 cases enrolled in the Azithromycin group, 11 cases (11.8%) progressed to severe MPP (SMPP), and 13 cases (14.0%) developed complications.In 32 cases included in the Doxycycline group, 1 case (3.1%) progressed to SMPP, and 3 cases (9.4%) developed complications.The difference in these 2 proportions was not statistically significant between the two groups ( P=0.294, 0.760). In 77 patients included in the Azithromycin switch to Doxycycline group, there were 4 cases converting to UMPP, 4 cases converting to RMPP and 4 cases adding steroids, which were not statistically significantly different from those in the Doxycycline group (all P=0.540). In the Azithromycin switch to Doxycycline group, there were 3 cases progressing to SMPP, and 7 cases developed complications, which were not statistically significantly different from those in the Doxycycline group (all P=1.000). Conclusions:Doxycycline can improve the fever symptom, shorten illness duration and hospitalization time, and reduce steroid usage and the proportions of UMPP and RMPP in pediatric MPP.Switching to Doxycycline is recommended for MUMPP patients as Doxycycline is effective for the treatment of pediatric MPP and no tetracycline pigmentation teeth now.
