The mechanism by which long-term exposure to TDCIPP promotes cognitive impairment in 3 ×Tg-AD mice: Insights from multi-omics studies.

Tri(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCIPP) is a commonly used organophosphate ester that has the potential to adversely affect human health. Although previous studies have closely associated TDCIPP with cognitive impairment, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To elucidate the neurotoxic effects of TDCIPP and its mechanistic contribution to cognitive impairment in 3 ×Tg-AD mice, a multi-omics approach incorporating proteomics, untargeted metabolomics, and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing was employed to evaluate the impact of TDCIPP exposure on neurobehavioral function. TDCIPP exposure promoted cognitive impairment in 3 ×Tg-AD mice. Proteomic analyses revealed that this promotion is associated with disturbances in the hippocampal mitochondrial autophagy pathway. Furthermore, TDCIPP may interfere with the PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy pathway at the functional level, without altering PINK1 protein abundance. Untargeted metabolomic analysis of urine samples demonstrated that TDCIPP exposure altered the metabolic profile of 3 ×Tg-AD mice, with 58 metabolites upregulated and 11 downregulated. Additionally, 16S rRNA sequencing revealed substantial modifications in gut microbiome composition following exposure to TDCIPP. Notably, significant correlations were identified between the perturbed bacterial genera and the differential metabolites. In conclusion, exposure to TDCIPP promotes cognitive impairment in 3 ×Tg-AD mice, which is associated with the interference with the PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy pathway, as well as alterations in the urinary metabolome and gut microbiota. These findings suggest the potential to mitigate such cognitive impairment by targeting the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

A genetic signal at 8q12.3 modulates GGT levels via the Runx1-CYP7B1 axis in female ethnic minorities from Guizhou.

Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) regarded as a biomarker of liver dysfunction or excessive alcohol consumption; however, existing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been conducted predominantly in European populations and East Asian populations from Japan and the Taiwan region, with limited investigation in ethnic minorities from Guizhou Province. Previous genetic studies have demonstrated that Guizhou ethnic minorities share an East Asian genetic background while exhibiting specific genetic structures, a pattern that is also confirmed by our principal component analysis (PCA) results. We therefore performed a GWAS in this population and identified a genome-wide significant signal at 8q12.3 in female ethnic minorities from Guizhou. Fine-mapping and functional annotation analyses suggest that a regulatory pathway involving Runt-related transcription factor 1 (Runx1)-Cytochrome P450 family 7 subfamily B member 1 (CYP7B1)-cholesterol-reactive oxygen species (ROS)-glutathione (GSH) may contribute to the regulation of GGT levels. Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses further supported a causal relationship between GGT levels and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). These findings uncover a genetic mechanism underlying GGT variation at 8q12.3 in female ethnic minorities from Guizhou, implicating a pathway linked to cholesterol metabolism and oxidative stress, and providing potential targets and insights for precision prevention and treatment of related diseases.

Genome-wide association and multi-omics functional screens reveal the genetic architecture of foveal development.

Foveal hypoplasia causes visual impairment across congenital eye disorders, yet the genetic programmes governing foveal development remain poorly characterised and no tractable model exists for foveal disease. In the first genome-wide association study of foveal hypoplasia, we identified 42 sentinel variants mapping to 54 effector genes supported by ≥ 2 criteria from a variant-to-gene framework incorporating developmental multi-omics. Disruption of six effector genes using mutant lines and CRISPR knockouts in the zebrafish high acuity zone recapitulates structural, functional, and ultrastructural hallmarks of foveal hypoplasia, establishing the first vertebrate disease model. Integration with human foetal single-cell and spatial transcriptomics reveals two temporal waves of effector gene expression and identifies Müller glia as critical mediators of foveal patterning. Phenome-wide analyses reveal foveal variants are pleiotropic with refractive, lenticular, and metabolic traits, connecting foveal development to anterior segment and systemic disease biology. These findings should inform mechanistic studies of macular disease.

Effects of Sacubitril Valsartan Combined With Vericiguat on NT-proBNP and CK-MB Levels in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure.

This study aims to probe the influence of sacubitril valsartan sodium tablets combined with vericiguat on N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) levels in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). One hundred and twenty CHF patients were enrolled and stratified into a control group (sacubitril valsartan sodium tablets) and a combination group (sacubitril valsartan sodium tablets + vericiguat). Outcome measures included New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class shifts, echocardiographic indices, cardiac injury markers, 6-min walk distance (6MWD), endothelial function parameters, inflammatory mediator levels, and adverse clinical events. Following a 6-month treatment period, patients in the combination group exhibited superior functional improvement, as reflected by greater advancement in NYHA class. Echocardiographic evaluation revealed more favorable ventricular remodeling in this group, with reduced left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic diameters and an elevated ejection fraction. The combination group had a higher 6MWD. Biomarker analysis showed lower NT-proBNP and CK-MB levels in the combination group. Furthermore, improvements in endothelial function were noted, with decreased endothelin and elevated NO, NOS, and CGRP levels in the combination group. Markers of systemic inflammation, including CRP and IL-6, were also attenuated in the combination group. The incidence of adverse reactions and cardiovascular events did not differ significantly between the groups. Co-administration of sacubitril/valsartan and vericiguat enhances cardiac performance, optimizes vascular endothelial responsiveness, modulates heart failure-related biomarkers, and mitigates inflammatory activity in patients with CHF without increasing the risk of adverse events.

Global Evolution and Transmission Dynamics of Enterovirus D68.

Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), a serotype of the enterovirus species D, has garnered significant attention due to outbreaks reported in 2014, 2016, and 2018. In this study, 36 Chinese EV-D68 strains were isolated, sequenced, and combined with all EV-D68 VP1 sequences from GenBank to form a data set of 1679 sequences. This data set served as the basis for phylogenetic, evolutionary dynamics, phylogeographic, and key amino acid site mutation analyses of EV-D68. Based on the VP1 region, EV-D68 is classified into four genotypes (A-D), and seven subgenotypes (B1-B3, D1-D4), with B3 and D3 being the predominant subgenotypes. Bayesian skyline plots indicated that genotypes B and D experienced multiple population expansions, aligning with reported EV-D68 outbreaks. Phylogeographic analyses of the B3 subgenotypes revealed sequences from Europe and North America clustering into a single evolutionary branch, suggesting significant transmission between these regions. Additionally, mutation analysis identified VP1-98 as a high-frequency mutation site, differing significantly between the previously prevalent A and C genotypes and the currently prevalent B and D genotypes. However, the functional implications of this mutation require further investigation. This study provides a solid theoretical basis for epidemiological research, disease surveillance, and prevention efforts related to EV-D68.
