Granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells(G-MDSCs)are the principal subsets of myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs),which involved in development and progression of a variety of tumor and non-tumor diseases.G-MDSCs mediated disfunction of immune effector cells(such as T cells and NK cells)through producing Arg-1,ROS,iNOS,etc.is major cause of its immunosuppressive function.To date,a large number of studies have focused on tumor-promoting effects of G-MDSCs.However,their complex immunomodulatory functions,especially their positive effects in diseases such as autoimmune arthritis,are often overlooked.Besides,G-MDSCs share the same origin and phenotype with neutrophils,but their immune functions are heterogeneous.Therefore,precision of G-MDSCs targeted therapy will be largely improved if the two can be accurately distinguished,though this field is still under exploration.At present,there are abundant experimental studies on G-MDSCs at home and abroad,mainly in tumors,but there are no domestic reports on the immunomodulatory function of G-MDSCs in tumors and non-tumor diseases.Therefore,in this review,we summarizes the different roles played by G-MDSCs in tumor and non-tumor diseases,in order to reveal the important and complex functions of G-MDSCs in immune regulation.

In the surgical oncology, the prognosis of patients is mainly dependent on the surgical radicality, with conventional R 0 resection long regarded as the cornerstone of gastric cancer. However, under the precision surgical era, technologies such as genomics, proteomics, and the application of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) have driven the transformation of gastric cancer treatment from the "experience-driven" to the "data-driven" model. This thus poses novel challenges to the conventional R 0 resection, which has prevailed for nearly five decades. The authors combine relevant clinical research to review and anticipate how the classic concept of R 0 resection can adapt to the latest research advancements in molecular pathological diagnosis, imaging analysis, AI-assisted decision-making, and perioperative comprehensive treatment under the AI empowered precision surgical era.

Loss-of-function variants in CSDE1 have been strongly linked to neuropsychiatric disorders, yet the precise role of CSDE1 in neurogenesis remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that knockout of Csde1 during cortical development in mice results in impaired neural progenitor proliferation, leading to abnormal cortical lamination and embryonic lethality. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that Csde1 upregulates the transcription of genes involved in the cell cycle network. Applying a dual thymidine-labelling approach, we further revealed prolonged cell cycle durations of neuronal progenitors in Csde1-knockout mice, with a notable extension of the G1 phase. Intersection with CLIP-seq data demonstrated that Csde1 binds to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of mRNA transcripts encoding cell cycle genes. Particularly, we uncovered that Csde1 directly binds to the 3' UTR of mRNA transcripts encoding Cdk6, a pivotal gene in regulating the transition from the G1 to S phases of the cell cycle, thereby maintaining its stability. Collectively, this study elucidates Csde1 as a novel regulator of Cdk6, sheds new light on its critical roles in orchestrating brain development, and underscores how mutations in Csde1 may contribute to the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Endosomes are characterized by the presence of various phosphoinositides that are essential for defining the membrane properties. However, the interplay between endosomal phosphoinositides metabolism and innate immunity is yet to be fully understood. Here, our findings highlight the evolutionary continuity of RAB-10/Rab10's involvement in regulating innate immunity. Upon infection of Caenorhabditis elegans with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an increase in RAB-10 activity was observed in the intestine. Conversely, when RAB-10 was absent, the intestinal diacylglycerols (DAGs) decreased, and the animal's response to the pathogen was impaired. Further research revealed that UNC-16/JIP3 acts as an RAB-10 effector, facilitating the recruitment of phospholipase EGL-8 to endosomes. This leads to a decrease in endosomal phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) and an elevation of DAGs, as well as the activation of the PMK-1/p38 MAPK innate immune pathway. It is noteworthy that the dimerization of UNC-16 is a prerequisite for its interaction with RAB-10(GTP) and the recruitment of EGL-8. Moreover, we ascertained that the rise in RAB-10 activity, due to infection, was attributed to the augmented expression of LET-413/Erbin, and the nuclear receptor NHR-25/NR5A1/2 was determined to be indispensable for this increase. Hence, this study illuminates the significance of endosomal PI(4,5)P2 catabolism in boosting innate immunity and outlines an NHR-25-mediated mechanism for pathogen detection in intestinal epithelia.

The pathogenesis and progression of depression are closely associated with functional dysregula-tion in the brain's reward and emotion-modulating circuits.As the central hub of the reward system,the nucleus accumbens(NAc)forms aberrant neural circuits with multiple brain regions-including the ventral tegmental area(VTA),medial prefrontal cortex(mPFC),amygdala(AMY),hippocampus(HIP),and paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus(PVT)-which have been empirically linked to depressive symptomatology.Acupuncture,with its multi-target therapeutic profile,aligns well with the multifactorial and multisystem dysregulation characteristic of depressive disorders.This review systematically examines the functional alterations of the NAc-centered neural circuitry in depression and explores the potential mechanisms of acupuncture intervention.Evidence suggests that acupuncture holistically ameliorates depression by:modulating dopaminergic transmission in the VTA-NAc pathway,enhancing neurotransmitter equilibrium in the mPFC-NAc circuit,bidirectionally regulating emotional stability via the AMY-NAc loop,attenuating HIP-NAc glutamatergic hyperactivity,and optimizing excitatory signaling in the thalamus-NAc circuit.Furthermore,this synthesis emphasizes a systems-level integration of circuit mechanisms,highlighting both the clinical applicability of acupuncture in depression treatment and recent advances in mechanistic research.The findings provide robust theoretical foundations and practical guidance for clinical practice,bridging translational neuroscience with therapeutic innovation.

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death modality triggered by the accumulation of lipid peroxides and is closely linked to tumor pathogenesis. Ferritinophagy refers to the selective autophagic degradation of ferritin, releasing intracellular stored iron to maintain iron metabolic homeostasis. This process is also significantly associated with tumor-targeted interventions. This review systematically elucidates the mechanisms of ferroptosis and ferritinophagy, their roles in tumor progression, and the therapeutic potential of pharmacologically induced ferritinophagy in anticancer strategies.

Objective:To construct a deep learning model based on YOLOV8-Seg algorithm to conduct automatic segmentation for the central gland(CG)and peripheral zone(PZ)of prostate,so as to provide a reliable basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The sequence data of T2-weighted imaging(T2WI)of horizontal relaxation time of 158 patients were selected from a public data set of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)for prostate MRI,which was provided by the Charité University Hospital in Berlin,were selected.The all data were divided into a training set(109 cases),a validation set(16 cases),and a test set(33 cases)as the ratio of 7 to1 to 2.A lightweight asymmetric decoupled head(LADH)structure and the large kernel UniRepLKNetBlock module were integrated into the YOLOV8-Seg algorithm to enhance the capabilities of model's extraction feature,and the new model was named as YOLOV8-URLK.The assessment model with mean Average Precision(mAP),Dice Similarity Coefficient(DSC),95%Hausdorff Distance(HD95),and Average Surface Distance(ASD)was adopted to segment performance of the detection at prostate CG and PZ.Comparative experiments were conducted among that and YOLOV8-Seg,TransU-Net,and U-Net network,so as to validate the effectiveness of YOLOV8-URLK for detection and segmentation at prostate zone.Results:On the test set,the mAP@0.5(box)of YOLOV8-URLK model was 0.878,and the mean Dice coefficients,the mean HD95 values and the ASD values of that at CG and PZ were respectively(0.867,17.123 and 1.461)and(14.902,0.898 and 1.112).On the test set,the mAP@0.5(box)of YOLOV8-Seg model was 0.860,and the mean Dice coefficients of that at CG and PZ were 0.851 and 0.884,the mean HD95 values of that at them were 19.174 and 15.298,and ASD values of that at them were 1.781 and 1.219,respectively.On test set,the mean Dice coefficients of TransU-Net model at CG and PZ were 0.864 and 0.824,and the mean HD95 values of that at them were 18.134 and 19.402,and ASD values of that at them were 1.698 and 1.717,respectively.On the test set,the mean Dice coefficients of the U-Net model at CG and PZ were 0.857 and 0.690,and the mean HD95 values of that at them were 18.976 and 26.934,and ASD values of that at them were 1.753 and 2.135.The YOLOV8-URLK model can better reappear the segmentation trend of manual annotations.Conclusion:The YOLOV8-URLK model demonstrates higher precision in the detection and segmentation of MRI images of prostate,which were superior to YOLOV8-Seg,TransU-Net and U-Net.It can enhance the efficiency of the detection and segmentation.
