GRM8 (Glutamate Metabotropic Receptor 8)

ISL demonstrates multi-scale radiation mitigation activities in vitro and in vivo by modulating synaptic and inflammatory pathways, with glutamate receptors as core targets. This work nominates ISL as an important natural product for mitigating radiotherapy-induced neural damage.

Importantly, genetic ablation and molecular studies identify microtubule affinity regulating kinase 1 (MARK1) and glutamate metabotropic receptor 8 (GRM8) as critical modulators of the resistance phenomenon, potentially by impairing spatiotemporal signaling dynamics of Smad activity. Our findings unveil a novel phenomenon wherein epithelial HCC cells may exploit senescence plasticity as a mechanism to oppose TGF-β anti-tumor responses and progress towards more aggressive HCC phenotypes.

Additionally, administration of VU0155041 or AZ12216052 to the RN at 2 weeks post-SNI inhibited the overexpressions of TNF-α and IL-1β induced by SNI. These findings suggest that red nucleus mGluR4 and mGluR8 instead of mGluR7 inhibit nociception and the development of neuropathic pain by restraining the expressions of TNF-α and IL-1β.

Our region-based approach identified 11 genomic regions that suggest association with glioma risk of which two regions, 16p13.3 and 1p36.21, warrant further investigation as genetic susceptibility regions for female and male risk respectively. Our analyses suggest that genetic susceptibility to glioma may differ by sex and highlights the possibility that synapse-related genes play a role in glioma susceptibility.

Areas under the curves (AUC) corresponding to one-, three- and five-year survival were 0.731, 0.765 and 0.731, respectively. In this study, an efficient HCC prognostic prediction model was constructed by only GPCR-related genes, which are all potential targets for HCC treatment.

ASR exhibits intervention efficacy and favorable binding characteristics, positioning it as a promising candidate for treating GERD-related IPF. The potential regulatory mechanisms may involve cell responses to fibroblast growth factor stimulation and steroidal hormone-mediated signaling pathways.

Among the genes of fibrogenesis or DNA repair, cg14143055 (ADAMDEC1) is located in the binding region of the HOX gene family transcription factors (TFs), while cg05921699 (CD79A), cg06196379 (TREM1) and cg10990993 (MLH1) are located in the binding region of the ZNF protein family transcription factor (TF). Thus, the DNA methylation profile in the liver in HCV-induced HCC is unique and differs depending on the degree of surrounding tissue lesion - liver fibrosis or liver cirrhosis.

This study confirms differential expression of the five genes analysed between the four main molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma, furthermore, help to differentiate amongst groups 3 and 4. Outputs provide continued support for group 3 and group 4 dis-tinction. Next step is to validate the set of genes by methylation or with an independent validation cohort of medulloblastomas.

The cross-validation root-mean-square errors (RMSEs) are much smaller than those by the endpoint methods, and the correlation coefficients are comparable to the best endpoint methods for both mGluRs. Thus, machine learning-based IPSF can be applied to guide lead optimization, albeit the total number of actives/inactives are not big, a typical scenario in drug discovery projects.

Finally, we demonstrated the efficacy of the AF-risk model in HCC patients following sorafenib adjuvant chemotherapy...Based on a large population, we established a novel prognostic model based on 6 AFs to help identify HCC patients with a greater risk of death. The model may provide a reference for better clinical management of HCC patients in the era of cancer precision medicine.

Moreover, overexpression of GRM8 abrogated the inhibitive role of miR-33a-5p played in breast cancer. Collectively, this study reveals that GRM8 functions as an oncogene in breast cancer and is regulated by miR-33a-5p.

Tumor-neuron interactions allow for CNS-adaptation early in the course of brain metastasis.
