Genetic Engineering Methods in Primary T Cells

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Primary T cells can be engineered to confer them with novel therapeutic functions, allowing them to treat a variety of conditions. Genetic engineering can be either stable or transient, aiming to either express or inhibit a target gene. This review discusses the various genetic engineering tools available as well as their characteristics and ...

Forkhead proteins control the outcome of transcription factor binding by antiactivation [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 2007
Transcription factors with identical DNA-binding specificity often activate different genes in vivo. Yeast Ace2 and Swi5 are such activators, with targets we classify as Swi5-only, Ace2-only, or both. We define two unique regulatory modes. Ace2 and Swi5 both bind in vitro to Swi5-only genes such as HO, but only Swi5 binds and activates in vivo.

Multiple regulatory intrinsically disordered motifs control FOXO4 transcription factor binding and function

Cell Reports, 2021
Summary: Transcription factors harbor defined regulatory intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), which raises the question of how they mediate binding to structured co-regulators and modulate their activity.

The Morphological, Behavioral, and Transcriptomic Life Cycle of Anthrobots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
DNA is thought to determine shape, behavior, and lifespan, with developmental plasticity reserved for stem cells, embryos, and species like amphibia. How much morphogenetic plasticity do adult somatic human cells exhibit? Anthrobots are a self‐organizing, motile synthetic living construct made of genetically normal human epithelial cells.

Nutritional Programming of Lifespan by FOXO Inhibition on Sugar-Rich Diets

Cell Reports, 2017
Summary: Consumption of unhealthy diets is exacerbating the burden of age-related ill health in aging populations. Such diets can program mammalian physiology to cause long-term, detrimental effects.

Engineered Foxp1high Exosomes Ameliorates Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a dual‐engineering strategy combining mesenchymal stem cell aggregation and Foxp1 overexpression to generate Foxp1high aggregation exosomes with enhanced immunomodulatory properties. These engineered exosomes exhibit immune organ targeting and superior efficacy in systemic lupus erythematosus treatment by promoting Treg ...

Forkhead BoxO transcription factors restrain exercise‐induced angiogenesis [PDF]

The Journal of Physiology, 2014
Key points The growth of new capillaries, angiogenesis, within skeletal muscle occurs only after weeks of repeated aerobic exercise. Paradoxically, large increases in pro‐angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor occur with a single exercise bout.

FOXO transcription factors differ in their dynamics and intra/intermolecular interactions

Current Research in Structural Biology, 2022
Transcription factors play key roles in orchestrating a plethora of cellular mechanisms and controlling cellular homeostasis. Transcription factors share distinct DNA binding domains, which allows to group them into protein families.

Roles of Histone Deacetylase 4 in the Inflammatory and Metabolic Processes [PDF]

Diabetes & Metabolism Journal
Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4), a class IIa HDAC, has gained attention as a potential therapeutic target in treating inflammatory and metabolic processes based on its essential role in various biological pathways by deacetylating non-histone proteins ...

The DEC2‐SCN2A Axis is Essential for the Anticonvulsant Effects of Cannabidiol by Modulating Neuronal Plasticity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies DEC2 as a critical transcriptional repressor of Scn2a that directly binds E‐box motifs in its promoter to regulate neuronal plasticity and epileptogenesis. Functional manipulation of DEC2 alters seizure susceptibility in vivo. Cannabidiol enhances this repression, unveiling a novel DEC2‐SCN2A axis underlying its anticonvulsant ...
