Doublecortin (DCX) is a microtubule-associated protein critical for brain development. Although most highly expressed in the developing central nervous system, molecular function of DCX neuron morphogenesis remains unknown and controversial. We demonstrate that intimately linked to its microtubule-binding activity. By using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)- derived cortical i

Purpose TUBB can encode a beta-tubulin protein. At present, the role of has not been ascertained in cancers. Hence, importance further systematic pan-cancer analyses is stressed to explore its value diagnosis, prognosis, and immune function Methods By collecting handling integrative data from TCGA, Firehose, UCSC Xena, cBioPortal, GEO, CPTAC, TIMER2.0, TISCH, CellMiner, GDSC, CTRP databases, we explored potential diagnostic prognostic roles pan-cancers multiple angles. Moreover, GSEA analysis was conducted excavate biological functions pan-cancers. In addition, survival profiles were described, differential expressions different molecular subtypes discussed. Also, utilized cMAP search drugs or micro-molecules that have an impact on expressions. Results Based TCGA data, found differentially expressed variety tumors showed early-diagnostic value. Mutations, somatic copy number alterations, DNA methylation would lead abnormal expression. had relations with many clinical features. What’s more, validated be related metabolism-related, metastasis-related, immune-related pathways. High proved great prognosis various types cancers affect sensitivity some drugs. We also demonstrated expression significantly correlated immunoregulator molecules biomarkers lymphocyte subpopulation infiltration. Conclusion regulatory genes systemically analyzed this study, showing satisfying performances disease diagnosing predicting It could remodel tumor microenvironment play integral guiding cancer therapies forecasting responses chemotherapy.

Neurons are highly polarized cells with elaborate shapes that allow them to perform their function. In neurons, microtubule organization—length, density, and dynamics—are essential for the establishment of polarity, growth, transport. A mounting body evidence shows modulation cytoskeleton by microtubule-associated proteins fine tunes key aspects neuronal cell biology. this respect, severing enzymes—spastin, katanin fidgetin—a group bind generate internal breaks in lattice, emerging as modulators different model systems. review, we provide an integrative view on latest research demonstrating role spastin specifically context axonal We focus function regulation organization, transport, underlie its importance intricate control axon branching regeneration.
