Genome Editing of the Octoploid Fragaria x ananassa Using the CRISPR/Cas9 System [PDF]

, 2017
Due to its octoploid nature, gene functional analyses in the cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) are commonly carried out via gene silencing using self-complementary “hairpin” double-stranded RNA (RNAi) constructs.

CCDC80 suppresses high‐grade serous ovarian cancer migration via negative regulation of B7‐H3

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PAX8 is a lineage‐specific master regulator of transcription in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) progression. We show for the first time that PAX8 facilitates proliferation and metastasis by repressing the cell autonomous tumor suppressor CCDC80 and inducing B7‐H3 expression.

Targeted gene modification in Fragaria vesca mediated by CRISPR/Cas9 system [PDF]

, 2016
Genome editing is becoming an important biotechnological tool for gene function analysis and crop improvement, being the CRISPR-Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat-CRISPR associated protein 9) system the most widely used.

E2A selectively regulates TGF‐β–induced apoptosis in KRAS‐mutant non‐small cell lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Ability to induce apoptosis by TGF‐β is frequently lost in advanced lung adenocarcinoma despite intact TGF‐β signaling. We identify E2A as a mutant KRAS–dependent mediator of resistance to TGF‐β–induced apoptosis. TGF‐β induces E2A via SMAD3 in mutant KRAS cells, and E2A silencing restores apoptosis and enhances radiation response in cell lines ...

BnaMYB73, a Brassica napus L. R2R3-MYB Transcription Factor, Enhances Plant Salt and Osmotic Stress Tolerance

Plants
MYB transcription factors (TFs) are crucial for plant growth, development, and response to abiotic stress. However, their exact functions in abiotic stress responses in rapeseed remain largely unexplored.

CD47 promotes mitogen‐activated protein kinase and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition molecular programs to drive prometastatic phenotypes in non‐small cell lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Beyond its role in immune evasion, this study identified that CD47 drives tumor‐intrinsic signaling in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Transcriptomic profiling and functional studies revealed that CD47 regulates cell adhesion, migration, and metastasis through an ERK–EMT signaling axis.

KDM7A and KDM1A inhibition suppresses tumour promoting pathways in prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Treatment resistance is a major challenge for patients with advanced prostate cancer. This study examined an alternative approach to target the major prostate cancer‐promoting pathway by targeting epigenetic factors, whose levels are higher in tumours.

Iron metabolism dysregulation and ferroptosis: Emerging drivers in pulmonary fibrosis pathogenesis and therapy

Molecules and Cells
: Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent and regulated form of cell death, characterized by lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress. The progressive development of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is closely linked to the ferroptosis pathway.

Cell‐cycle‐specific lesion evolution rather than inhibition of double‐strand‐break repair underpins cisplatin radiosensitization

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We analyze cisplatin–DNA adducts (CDAs) and double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in a cell‐cycle‐dependent manner. We find that CDAs form similarly across all cell cycle phases. DSBs arise only in S‐phase. CDAs might not directly impair DSB repair, but S‐phase DSB lesions evolve in the presence of CDAs and disrupt repair in G2, also causing radiosensitization ...
