Transcriptional regulatory network analysis identifies GRN as a key regulator bridging chemotherapy and immunotherapy response in small cell lung cancer by Seungyeul Yoo, Ayushi S. Patel, Sarah Karam, Yi Zhong, Li Wang, Feng Jiang, Ranran Kong, Sharon Bikvan, Wenhui Wang, Abhilasha Sinha, Charles A. Powell, Jun Zhu, Hideo Watanabe

“…GRN-high tumors, associated with non-neuroendocrine (non-NE) subtypes, had a higher level of macrophage infiltration, potentially contributing to immunotherapy resistance. These results highlight GRN as a critical regulator of chemo-resistance and a potential biomarker for immunotherapy resistance in SCLC. …”

Elevated POSTN expression predicts poor prognosis and is associated with radioresistance in cervical cancer patients treated with radical radiotherapy by Cui-qin Huang, Wen-tao Xiao, Xiang-rong Yao, Zhi-min Li, Jun-yan He

“…Drug sensitivity analysis suggested that high POSTN expression may be linked to resistance to multiple chemotherapeutic agents. Furthermore, weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) identified EMT as a top enriched pathway in patients with high POSTN expression, suggesting it may play a critical role in radiotherapy resistance. …”

Construction of “Biomigration – Regional Cooling” Multi-functional Ecological Network in Wuhan Urban Agglomeration by Jiajie LI, Yuanyuan GU, Zhong XING

“…Based on the land cover and land surface temperature (LST) of Wuhan urban agglomeration, the research screens the biodiversity source sites and regional cold island source sites by morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) and landscape connectivity. 2) Construction of two types of resistance surfaces. Based on land use type, elevation, slope, distance from road, distance from construction land, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and other data, the resistance values of biomigration and cold island diffusion are calculated respectively, and raster resistance surfaces are generated in ArcGIS. 3) Based on minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) and circuit theory, biomigration corridors and regional cooling corridors are generated respectively by using the Linkage Mapper toolbox. 4) Two kinds of corridors are overlapped to form a multifunctional ecological network pattern, based on which the key areas for ecological protection and restoration are identified in Wuhan urban agglomeration.ResultsIn this research, Wuhan urban agglomeration is taken as the research area. …”
