Role of sex in immune response and epigenetic mechanisms

Epigenetics & Chromatin
The functioning of the human immune system is highly dependent on the sex of the individual, which comes by virtue of sex chromosomes and hormonal differences. Epigenetic mechanisms such as X chromosome inactivation, mosaicism, skewing, and dimorphism in

The Challenges of Chromosome Y Analysis and the Implications for Chronic Kidney Disease

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
The role of chromosome Y in chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unknown, as chromosome Y is typically excluded from genetic analysis in CKD. The complex, sex-specific presentation of CKD could be influenced by chromosome Y genetic variation, but there ...

RSPO2 Coordinates with GDF9:BMP15 Heterodimers to Promote Granulosa Cell and Oocyte Development in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
RSPO2 and GDF9:BMP15 heterodimers—core components of oocyte‐secreted factors (OSFs)—coordinate to shape the molecular architecture of preantral granulosa cells via gene‐specific synergistic and antagonistic regulation, mediated through CTNNB1–SMAD2 signaling crosstalk.

Epigenetics and autoimmune diseases: The X chromosome-nucleolus nexus

Frontiers in Genetics, 2015
Autoimmune diseases occur more often in females, suggesting a key role for the X chromosome. X chromosome inactivation, a major epigenetic feature in female cells that provides dosage compensation of X-linked genes to avoid overexpression, presents ...

A Prion‐Like Domain in EBV EBNA1 Promotes Phase Separation and Enables SRRM1 Splicing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study discoveries that EBV EBNA1 behaves as a prion‐like protein, verified using cell‐based assays and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sup35p prion identification system. The prion‐like domain of EBNA1 drives liquid–liquid phase separation. EBNA1 interacts with the splicing factor SRSF1 to regulate the expression of the SRRM1 splicing isoforms ...

Histone Demethylase UTX Suppresses Tumor Cell Proliferation by Regulating Stress Granules

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
These findings indicate that cytoplasmic UTX forms puncta and co‐localizes in stress granules (SGs) upon various stresses. UTX TPR‐domain‐dependently and demethylase‐activity‐independently destabilize SGs by binding G3BP1, the SG hub protein, to disrupt SG network, thus affects tumorigenesis.

Molecular genetic analysis for malignant hyperthermia : a thesis presented to Massey University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry [PDF]

, 2004
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare pharmacogenetic disorder in humans caused by inhalational general anaesthetics and depolarising muscle relaxants. An MH reaction shows abnormal calcium homeostasis in skeletal muscle leading to a hypermetabolic state

Long Term High‐Salt Diet Induces Cognitive Impairments via Down‐Regulating SHANK1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study identifies a novel mechanistic link between long‐term HS diet and cognitive impairment, wherein PKA/CREB axis inactivation leads to SHANK1 reduction, synaptic damage, and cognitive deficits. Abstract High‐salt (HS) diet is an established risk factor for cognitive impairment, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Radiation Exposure Induced Blood–Brain Barrier Injury via Mitochondria‐Mediated Sterile Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work describes a blood–brain barrier (BBB) microphysiological system (MPS) to explore the responses of BBB to radiation exposure. Following radiation exposure, obvious BBB comprise and brain endothelial injuries are detected. Mechanism study shows radiation induced significant sterile inflammation via mitochondrial dysfunction and cGAS‐STING ...
