Abstract Background Skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSCs) played an important role in maintaining the proper function of tissues. In adults, they normally remained a quiescent state and activated upon stimulation to undergo self‐renewal or myogenic differentiation. This process was complexly regulated by cytokines, molecular mechanisms that promoted MuSCs activation largely unknown. Results Here, we analyzed transcriptome data from different stimuli using weighted gene co‐expression network analysis (WGCNA) identified key long non‐coding RNA SNHG1 (lncSNHG1), which promotes transition MuSCs. Overexpression lncSNHG1 able promote proliferation differentiation MuSCs, whereas knockdown resulted opposite results. Mechanistically, disruption Wnt/β‐catenin pathway blocked quiescence exit induced lncSNHG1. Conclusions We conclude is factor cell through pathway.

Abstract Alternative splicing (AS) serves as a pivotal mechanism in transcriptional regulation, engendering transcript diversity, and modifications protein structure functionality. Across varying tissues, developmental stages, or under specific conditions, AS gives rise to distinct splice isoforms. This implies that these isoforms possess unique temporal spatial roles, thereby associating with standard biological activities diseases. Among these, AS-related RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play an instrumental role regulating alternative events. Under physiological the diversity of mediated by influences structure, function, interaction, localization proteins, participating differentiation development array tissues organs. pathological alterations are linked various diseases, particularly cancer. These changes can lead gene patterns, culminating loss For instance, cancer, abnormalities RBPs may result aberrant expression cancer-associated genes, promoting onset progression tumors. also associated numerous neurodegenerative diseases autoimmune Consequently, study across different holds significant value. review provides detailed account recent advancements tissue which aids deepening understanding complexity offers new insights methodologies for precision medicine.

All adult tissues experience wear and tear. Most can compensate for cell loss through the activity of resident stem cells. Although cellular maintenance strategies vary greatly between different (read: postnatal) tissues, function cells is best defined by their capacity to replace lost tissue division. We discuss a set six complementary hallmarks that are key enabling features this basic function. These include longevity self-renewal, multipotency, transplantability, plasticity, dependence on niche signals, genome integrity. these in context some best-understood niches.

Redox signaling acts as a critical mediator in the dynamic interactions between organisms and their external environment, profoundly influencing both onset progression of various diseases. Under physiological conditions, oxidative free radicals generated by mitochondrial respiratory chain, endoplasmic reticulum, NADPH oxidases can be effectively neutralized NRF2-mediated antioxidant responses. These responses elevate synthesis superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, well key molecules like nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) glutathione (GSH), thereby maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. Disruption this finely tuned equilibrium is closely linked to pathogenesis wide range Recent advances have broadened our understanding molecular mechanisms underpinning dysregulation, highlighting pivotal roles genomic instability, epigenetic modifications, protein degradation, metabolic reprogramming. findings provide foundation for exploring regulation mechanistic basis improving therapeutic strategies. While antioxidant-based therapies shown early promise conditions where stress plays primary pathological role, efficacy diseases characterized complex, multifactorial etiologies remains controversial. A deeper, context-specific signaling, particularly redox-sensitive proteins, designing targeted aimed at re-establishing balance. Emerging small molecule inhibitors that target specific cysteine residues proteins demonstrated promising preclinical outcomes, setting stage forthcoming clinical trials. In review, we summarize current intricate relationship disease also discuss how these insights leveraged optimize strategies practice.
