Abstract Virus-human protein-protein interactions (VHPPI) are key to understanding how viruses manipulate host cellular functions. This study constructed a retroviral-human PPI network by integrating multiple public databases, resulting in 1,387 between 29 retroviral and 1,026 human genes. Using minimal sequence similarity, we generated pseudo-negative dataset for model reliability. Five machine learning models—Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayes (NB), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF)—were evaluated using accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV. LR KNN models demonstrated the strongest predictive performance, with sensitivities up 77% specificities of 52%. Feature importance analysis identified GC content semantic similarity as influential predictors. Models trained on selected features showed enhanced accuracy reduced complexity. Our approach highlights potential computational VHPPI predictions, offering valuable insights into viral-host interaction networks guiding therapeutic target identification. Significance addresses crucial gap antiviral research focusing prediction virus-host retroviruses, which linked serious diseases, including certain cancers autoimmune disorders. By leveraging models, essential host-pathogen that underlie survival pathogenesis. These were optimized predict accurately, complex mechanisms retroviruses use processes. viral proteins, such ENV_HV1H2 CD4, play pivotal roles infection persistence. Targeting these specific can potentially disrupt lifecycle while minimizing toxicity cells. thus opens avenues development selective strategies, contributing more effective targeted interventions fewer side effects, marking significant step forward virology drug discovery.

Abstract Background Thyroid cancer (TC) is the predominant malignancy within endocrine system. However, standard method for TC diagnosis lacks capability to identify pathological condition of all thyroid lesions. The metabolomics approach has potential manage this problem by identifying differential metabolites. Aims This study conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis NMR‐based studies in order significant altered metabolites associated with TC. Methods A search published literature any language three databases including Embase, PubMed, Scopus was conducted. Out 353 primary articles, 12 met criteria inclusion review. Among these, five reports belonging articles were eligible meta‐analysis. correlation coefficient orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis, popular model multivariate statistical analysis metabolomic data, chosen based on fact that they had been found at studies.

Deregulation of E3 ubiquitin ligases drives the proliferation and metastasis various cancers; however, underlying mechanisms remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate role tripartite motif-containing 22 (TRIM22), a poorly investigated ligase in TRIM family, as tumor suppressor breast cancer. High expression TRIM22 cancer correlated with better prognosis. Functional experiments demonstrated that significantly inhibited invasion cells. Label-free proteomics biochemical analyses revealed copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase (CCS), an oncoprotein is upregulated promotes growth cells, was target degradation via K27-linked ubiquitination. Notably, ability coiled-coil domain-defective mutants induce CCS ubiquitination diminished, lysine 76 serving site. Moreover, TRIM22-mediated inhibition cells restored by ectopic expression.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) encompass a diverse group of chemically reactive molecules or ions distinguished by their substantial oxidative potential. Empirical studies have shown that the targeted administration high toxic concentrations ROS can effectively induce tumor cell death in various types. Numerous bioactive ingredients derived from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), recognized for ROS-inducing properties, demonstrated significant anti-tumor activity. Nonetheless, clinical application has been hindered challenges such as low solubility, limited bioavailability, and poor selectivity. Multifunctional nanoformulations possess potential to overcome these enhance anticancer efficacy active compounds. Through extensive searches academic databases thorough review screening relevant literature, this study aims systematically summarize generalize multiple TCM generation, along with multifunctional nanoformulations, perspectives. The objective is provide new insights references fundamental cancer research treatments. Furthermore, we acknowledge although numerous potentials, potentially offering novel strategies therapy, underlying mechanisms require further comprehensive investigation.

To date, more than 20 forms of cell have been identified, each defined by unique molecular pathways. Understanding these different essential investigating the pathogenesis diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmune conditions developing appropriate therapies. Paraptosis distinct form regulated characterized cytoplasmic vacuolation dilatation cellular organelles like mitochondria endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It several signaling pathways, instance, those associated with ER stress, calcium overload, oxidative specific cascades insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) its downstream pathways comprising mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). has observed in diverse contexts, including development stress responses neuronal, retinal, endothelial, muscle cells.
