Reduced Circulating Levels of miR-491-5p and miR-485-3p Are Associated with the Occurrence of Vertebral Fractures in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis by Jixi Xu, Mingbo Li, Wei Pei, Jinyong Ding, Yueran Pan, Huifeng Peng, Shiman Lin, Yanbo Huang

“…Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the relative expression level of miR-491-5p was negatively correlated with the level of 25-(OH)VitD (r = -0.518, < 0.001) but positively correlated with the levels of PINP (r = 0.547, < 0.001) and β-CTx (r = 0.380, < 0.001). We also observed a negative correlation between the relative expression level of miR-485-3p and 25-(OH)VitD (r = -0.388, < 0.001), a positive correlation between miR-485-3p and PINP (r = 0.422,< 0.001). …”

Carbohydrate ligand engagement with CD11b enhances differentiation of tumor-associated myeloid cells for immunotherapy of solid cancers by Mei Zhang, Veronique Roche, Victor Sandoval, Claire Wolford, Zachary Senders, Julian Anthony Kim, Susan Pereira Ribeiro, Alex Yicheng Huang, Rafick-Pierre Sekaly, Joshua Lyons

“…This engagement significantly impacts the biological function of tumor-associated inflammatory monocytes (TAIMs) in osteosarcoma, advanced melanoma, and PDAC backgrounds. Importantly, we observed that the BG34-200-CD11b engagement triggered endocytosis of the binding complexes in TAIMs, which induced intracellular F-actin cytoskeletal rearrangement, effective phagocytosis, and intrinsic ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule I) clustering. …”

Pseudovibriamides from Pseudovibrio marine sponge bacteria promote flagellar motility via transcriptional modulation by Yitao Dai, Vitor Lourenzon, Laura P. Ióca, Dua Al-Smadi, Lydia Arnold, Ian McIntire, Roberto G. S. Berlinck, Alessandra S. Eustáquio

“…The data gathered suggest that pseudovibriamides A and B have opposite roles in modulating a subset of genes, with pseudovibriamide B having a primary effect in gene activation, and pseudovibriamide A on inhibition. Finally, we observed many differentially expressed genes (up to 29% of the total gene number) indicating that pseudovibriamides have a global effect on transcription that goes beyond motility.IMPORTANCEMarine sponges are found throughout the oceans from tropical coral reefs to polar sea floors, playing crucial roles in marine ecosystems. …”
