Dual-Matrix Platform for Highly Specific Multi-Omics Profiling of Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Multiomics interrogation provides complementary information beyond single-omics approaches for improved disease characterization. To enable such multilayer profiling, we expanded the rapid functionalized mesoporous nanoparticle-coupled laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (fMNPLDI-MS) platform by designing two structurally homologous but functionally tailored fMNPs. This design enables efficient acquisition of both serum metabolic and peptide fingerprints from a total of only 2.05 μL of serum, with an LDI MS analysis time of approximately 90 s per sample, while addressing the limitation of single-matrix systems in simultaneously optimizing analytical performance for different biomolecular species. Through statistical analysis and machine learning-based feature selection, an integrated multiomics biomarker panel was established, comprising 5 peptides and 4 metabolites. Notably, this integrated panel outperformed both single-omics panels across all evaluation metrics in the validation set, improving the area under curve from 0.985 to 1.000 and increasing the classification accuracy from 0.947 (metabolites) and 0.930 (peptides) to 0.965, while showing consistent improvements in F1-score, precision, and recall. Collectively, these results demonstrate the robust performance of the dual-matrix design and multiomics integration for renal cell carcinoma classification, with potential relevance for broader applications in complex disease profiling.

A nucleolar stress gene signature enables quantitative scoring across multi-omics contexts.

The nucleolus is essential for ribosome biogenesis and cellular homeostasis, and its dysfunction can induce nucleolar stress, a process implicated in cancer and other diseases. However, nucleolar stress is commonly inferred from morphological changes or a limited set of functional assays, and quantitative approaches based on gene expression profiles remain lacking. Here, we integrate literature curation with multi-dataset screening to define a nucleolar stress gene signature and develop a nucleolar stress score (NuS) applicable to bulk transcriptomics, single-cell transcriptomics, proteomics, and spatial transcriptomics. Using this framework, we show in colorectal cancer models that oxaliplatin induces nucleolar stress, suppresses nascent rRNA synthesis, and activates p53 signaling, whereas these responses are attenuated in oxaliplatin-resistant cells. Combined with a ribosome biogenesis activity score (RiboSis), NuS captures related but distinct dimensions of nucleolar function and stratifies tumors into functional states associated with clinical outcomes. NuS-based analysis of perturbational transcriptomes further prioritizes compounds with putative nucleolar stress-inducing activity. Collectively, this study provides a quantitative framework for evaluating nucleolar stress and illustrates its applications in disease stratification and drug mechanism discovery.

IL-33 Drives Inflammatory Changes and Extracellular Trap Formation in Eosinophils Involving Oxidised LDL and Complement Pathways.

BACKGROUND: IL-33 levels are elevated in the airways of patients with eosinophilic diseases, and IL-33 receptor expression on eosinophils is upregulated in type 2-high environments. However, the role of IL-33 in the regulation of human eosinophils remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the inflammatory effects of IL-33 on the cellular function of human eosinophils. METHODS: Blood eosinophils were stimulated with IL-33, TNF-α, oxidised low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and complement fragments (C3a and C5a). Multi-omics analyses, including transcriptomics and proteomics, were performed. Extracellular trap formation (ETosis) was assessed by SYTOX nucleic acid staining and was visualised by immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS: Multi-omics analyses revealed an IL-33- and TNF-α-induced inflammatory gene signature characterised by the upregulation of cell surface markers (oxLDL receptor 1, CD22, CD4 and ICAM-1) and inflammatory mediators (C3, CCL3/4 and IL1A/B). CD22 upregulation was specific to IL-33 stimulation. Eosinophils derived from nasal polyps exhibited a gene expression profile similar to that of IL-33-stimulated eosinophils. Functional assays demonstrated that oxLDL and complement fragments differentially prolonged eosinophil survival and altered the expression of adhesion molecules. OxLDL- and complement fragment-induced gene signatures were partly detected in eosinophils derived from nasal polyps. Furthermore, IL-33 triggered ETosis via NADPH oxidase, mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathways. CONCLUSIONS: IL-33, in conjunction with oxLDL and the complement cascade, induces inflammatory changes in eosinophils, promoting an ETosis-prone phenotype. These pathways represent potential therapeutic targets in refractory eosinophilic diseases.

Decoding Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: A Multi-Omics Approach to Identify Druggable Effector Genes.

PURPOSE: Genomewide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) risk loci, yet most reside in non-coding regions with unclear function. Mapping these loci to effector genes can elucidate disease mechanisms, identify functionally conserved variants, improve cross-ancestry risk prediction by reducing population-specific noise, and uncover shared therapeutic targets. METHODS: Here, we integrate European POAG GWAS with six types of multi-omics molecular Quantitative Trait Locis (xQTLs) using multi-trait colocalization to identify candidate effector variants and evaluate their cross-population relevance using genetic risk score (GRS) analysis, and their therapeutic potential through drug target prioritization. RESULTS: We identified 25 POAG effector variants colocalized with at least one xQTLs. In non-European populations, effector variants showed stronger effect size correlations with Europeans than non-colocalized variants (Pearson r2 = African 0.85 vs. 0.71; East Asian 0.81 vs. 0.69; and Latin American 0.91 vs. 0.75). Effector variants also had smaller allele frequency variations across populations (average interquartile range [IQR] = 0.15 vs. 0.20). The genetic risk score based on effector variants performed comparably to the genome-wide significant single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based GRS in non-European populations. Drug prioritization identified zinc, copper, sunitinib, probucol, and astemizole as potential common therapeutic agents for POAG and its subtypes. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings offer deeper insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying glaucoma and effector variants for developing more robust GRS models and broadly effective therapeutic strategies for POAG.

Integrative Multi-Omics Deciphering of Gu Shu Kang Granules: A Comprehensive Systems Biology Approach to Unraveling Molecular Mechanisms in Sarcopenia-Osteoporosis Intervention.

INTRODUCTION: Sarcopenia is a degenerative musculoskeletal disease affecting the elderly, significantly impairing patients' quality of life and challenging modern medicine. This study innovatively combines Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theories with modern medical research to explore the mechanisms by which Gushukang granules address sarcopenia. METHODS: The research integrated multi-dimensional research methods, including network pharmacology, metabolomics, and animal experiments, to comprehensively investigate the scientific mechanisms of Gushukang granules' intervention in sarcopenia. RESULTS: Network pharmacology analysis identified multiple potential targets related to muscle growth and repair. UPLC-Q-TOF MS technology tracked metabolic pathways, while animal experiments verified that Gushukang granules precisely regulate muscle metabolic balance by modulating key signaling pathways involved in protein synthesis and degradation. DISCUSSION: The findings demonstrate the potential of integrating traditional and modern medical approaches in addressing age-related muscle degradation, providing scientific validation for TCM treatment of sarcopenia. CONCLUSION: This study establishes a model for modernizing TCM research, offering solid scientific evidence for comprehensive intervention of chronic diseases in the elderly and highlighting the TCM concept of "preventing disease before its onset" in modern medical translation.

Genetic Analysis of Genomic and Methylomic Variation and Identification of Multi-Trait Mutants in Rice Carried on Chang'e-5.

Global food security is facing challenges from population growth to diminishing arable land. Space mutation breeding holds promise for overcoming the variation limitations in conventional breeding; however, the mutagenic effects of the deep-space environment on rice and the transgenerational inheritance patterns of induced variations remain unclear. In this study, rice seeds carried by the Chang'e-5 spacecraft were used as materials. Whole-genome sequencing and whole-genome bisulfite sequencing were performed on the first (SP1) and second generations (SP2) of space-mutagenized plants after their return to Earth. The results showed that the number of genomic variants in the SP2 generation increased significantly compared with SP1, and SNPs, homozygous sites, and variants in coding regions were more heritable. The genome-wide methylation level was elevated in the SP2 generation, and among differentially methylated cytosines, those in the CG context exhibited the highest heritability. Furthermore, large-scale screening for nitrogen efficiency, tolerance to PEG-induced stress, and germination-stage cold resistant mutants was conducted in the SP2 generation, and phenotypic validation was performed in the third generation (SP3). By integrating multi-omics analyses of representative mutants to mine candidate genes, a number of heritable elite mutants were obtained, and seven candidate genes for key traits were identified. This study systematically elucidates the transgenerational inheritance patterns of deep-space-induced variation in rice. The multi-trait mutants obtained provide valuable germplasm resources for gene cloning and breeding applications in rice.
