Modeling hepatic fibrosis in TP53 knockout iPSC‐derived human liver organoids

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study developed iPSC‐derived human liver organoids with TP53 gene knockout to model human liver fibrosis. These organoids showed elevated myofibroblast activation, early disease markers, and advanced fibrotic hallmarks. The use of profibrotic differentiation medium further amplified the fibrotic signature seen in the organoids.

Uncovering the expression patterns of chimeric transcripts using surveys of affymetrix GeneChips. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: A chimeric transcript is a single RNA sequence which results from the transcription of two adjacent genes. Recent studies estimate that at least 4% of tandem human gene pairs may form chimeric transcripts. Affymetrix GeneChip data are used to

A diverse epigenetic landscape at human exons with implication for expression

Nucleic Acids Research, 2015
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic marker associated with gene expression regulation in eukaryotes. While promoter methylation is relatively well characterized, the role of intragenic DNA methylation remains unclear.

Patient‐specific pharmacogenomics demonstrates xCT as predictive therapeutic target in colon cancer with possible implications in tumor connectivity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates transcriptomic profiling of matched tumor and healthy tissues from 32 colorectal cancer patients with functional validation in patient‐derived organoids, revealing dysregulated metabolic programs driven by overexpressed xCT (SLC7A11) and SLC3A2, identifying an oncogenic cystine/glutamate transporter signature linked to ...

Approaches to Evaluate Whole Exome Sequencing Data That Incorporate Genetic Intolerance Scores for Congenital Anomalies, Including Intronic Regions Adjacent to Exons

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine
Background Whole exome sequencing (WES) aids in diagnosing monogenic diseases, yet > 50% of all cases remain undiagnosed. We aimed to improve diagnostic precision by developing an effective WES‐based strategy for detecting congenital anomalies.

Predictors of response and rational combinations for the novel MCL‐1 inhibitor MIK665 in acute myeloid leukemia

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study characterizes the responses of primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient samples to the MCL‐1 inhibitor MIK665. The results revealed that monocytic differentiation is associated with MIK665 sensitivity. Conversely, elevated ABCB1 expression is a potential biomarker of resistance to the treatment, which can be overcome by the combination ...

Screening of the transcriptional regulatory regions of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]

, 2007
Background Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has neurotrophic activity which is mediated by its main agonist receptor, VEGFR2. Dysregulation of VEGF causes motor neurone degeneration in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and

Rodent-specific alternative exons are more frequent in rapidly evolving genes and in paralogs

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background Alternative splicing is an important mechanism for generating functional and evolutionary diversity of proteins in eukaryotes. Here, we studied the frequency and functionality of recently gained, rodent-specific alternative exons.

The identification of switch-like alternative splicing exons among multiple samples with RNA-Seq data. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Alternative splicing is an ubiquitous phenomenon in most human genes and has important functions. The switch-like exon is the type of exon that has a high level of usage in some tissues, but has a low level of usage in the other tissues.

ExPrimer: to design primers from exon--exon junctions [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2005
ExPrimer is a web-based computer program to design primers mainly from a specified exon-exon junction (E-E-jn) of a gene of interest. The tool suggests the optimum primer-pair(s) of which the right (reverse) primer represents a particular E-E-jn of the mRNA. The 'product length' decides the location of the left primer.
