The direction of your DNA may be as important as which parent it came from
Fig. 1: H19 gene expression was derepressed on the paternally inherited inverted-ICR allele in fetal livers but not in placentas. a Breeding scheme. In order to distinguish parental origin of the alleles by using SNPs between inbred mouse strains, inverted-ICR heterozygous male mice (WT/INV; C57BL/6J [B6] background) were mated with…
Phospholipase A2 inhibitor and LY6/PLAUR domain-containing protein PINLYP regulates type I interferon innate immunity
Significance Interferon (IFN)-mediated antiviral responses serve as the first line of the host innate immune defense against viral infection. Here we identify a previously uncharacterized protein designated phospholipase A2 inhibitor and LY6/PLAUR domain-containing protein (PINLYP), which is essential for embryonic development and plays an important role in type I IFN…
Nanotechnology for genome editing in multiple muscles simultaneously
Fig. 1: LNP-mediated Luc-mRNA or CRISPR-Cas9 mRNA/sgRNA delivery into muscle tissue. a Schematic illustration of LNP-CRISPR. Either Luc mRNA or Cas9 mRNA/sgRNA is encapsulated into LNP that consists of TCL053, DPPC (Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine), PEG-DMG (Polyethylene glycol-dimyristoyl glycerol), and cholesterol. b Chemical structure of the newly synthesized ionizable lipid, TCL053. c Representative…
Frontiers | The cGAS-STING Pathway: A Promising Immunotherapy Target
Introduction Invaded by exogenous or endogenous pathogens, the host immune system will be activated accordingly to resist harm and maintain homeostasis, which includes innate immunity and adaptive immunity. As the first line of host immune defense, innate immunity plays a critical role in recognizing extracellular and intracellular pathogens (1, 2)….
MicroRNA-181a Deficiency Results in Transcriptome-Wide Cell-Specific Changes in The Kidney and Increases Blood Pressure
The micro ribonucleic acid (microRNA) [MiR-181a] is downregulated in the kidneys of rodents and patients suffering from high blood pressure (BP). The miR-181a is a posttranslational inhibitor of renin articulation in vitro, yet pleiotropic systems by which miR-181a may impact BP are unclear. Whether cancellation of miR-181a/b-1 in vivo changes…
Single-cell DNA and RNA sequencing reveals the dynamics of intra-tumor heterogeneity in a colorectal cancer model | BMC Biology
Organoid culture of small intestinal cells and lentiviral transduction C57BL/6J mice and BALB/cAnu/nu immune-deficient nude mice were purchased from CLEA Japan (Tokyo, Japan). The small intestine was harvested from wild-type male C57BL/6J mice at 3–5 weeks of age (Additional file 1: Figure S9A). Crypts were purified and dissociated into single cells,…
Characterization and expression of DNA sequences encoding the growth hormone gene in African Pygmy Mouse (Mus minutoides)
Abstract We determined the nucleotide sequence of the growth hormone (Gh) gene in Mus minutoides, one of the smallest mammals, where was predicted to be distinct in the functional regions between M. minutoides and Mus musculus. To investigate the evolutionary characteristics of Gh in M. minutoides, we constructed a phylogenetic…
MYO10 drives genomic instability and inflammation in cancer
INTRODUCTION Genomic instability often refers to the existence of a variety of DNA alterations, ranging from single nucleotide changes (such as base substitution, deletion, and insertion) to chromosomal rearrangements (e.g., gain or loss of a segment or the whole chromosome) (1). Loss of genome stability can lead to early onset…
