A minimal bile salt excretory pump promoter allows bile acid-driven physiological regulation of transgene expression from a gene therapy vector

Cell & Bioscience, 2022
Background Bile acid (BA) homeostasis is mainly regulated by bile salt excretory pump (BSEP), a hepatocyte transporter that transfers BAs to the bile.

Brassinosteroid-Regulated Gene Expression [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2002
Abstract Major brassinosteroid (BR) effects such as BR-induced growth are mediated through genomic pathways because RNA synthesis inhibitors and protein synthesis inhibitors interfere with these processes. A limited number of BR-regulated genes have been identified hitherto. The majority of genes (such as BRU1, CycD3,Lin6, OPR3, and TRIP-

Idiotype vaccines produced with a non-cytopathic alphavirus self-amplifying RNA vector induce antitumor responses in a murine model of B-cell lymphoma

Scientific Reports, 2021
A promising therapy for patients with B-cell lymphoma is based on vaccination with idiotype monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Since idiotypes are different in each tumor, a personalized vaccine has to be produced for each patient.

Gene Therapy for Acquired and Genetic Cholestasis

Biomedicines, 2022
Cholestatic diseases can be caused by the dysfunction of transporters involved in hepatobiliary circulation. Although pharmacological treatments constitute the current standard of care for these diseases, none are curative, with liver transplantation ...

Topoisomerase 1 cleavage complex enables pattern recognition and inflammation during senescence

Nature Communications, 2020
Here, the authors show that the topoisomerase 1-DNA covalent cleavage complex plays a critical role in mediating cytoplasmic chromatin fragments recognition by cyclic GMP-AMP synthase during senescence.

Proximity labeling identifies a repertoire of site-specific R-loop modulators

Nature Communications, 2022
R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures that contribute to genome instability and accumulate in neurological diseases. Here the authors identify R-loop proximal factors, which are enriched for zinc finger and homeodomain proteins, including ...

Disruption of ATRX-RNA interactions uncovers roles in ATRX localization and PRC2 function

Nature Communications, 2020
ATRX is an RNA binding protein that mediates targeting of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) to genomic sites. Here the authors identify the RNA binding region and show that the RNA binding is required for ATRX localization and for its recruitment of ...

Cellular and Extracellular Vesicle RNA Analysis in the Global Threat Fungus Candida auris

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Emerging and reemerging pathogens are a worldwide concern, and it is predicted that these microbes will cause severe outbreaks. Candida auris affects people with weakened immune systems, particularly those who are hospitalized or are in health care ...

Proteome-wide analysis of protein abundance and turnover remodelling during oncogenic transformation of human breast epithelial cells [version 1; referees: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Wellcome Open Research, 2018
Background: Viral oncogenes and mutated proto-oncogenes are potent drivers of cancer malignancy. Downstream of the oncogenic trigger are alterations in protein properties that give rise to cellular transformation and the acquisition of malignant cellular

TNF-alpha inhibition ameliorates HDV-induced liver damage in a mouse model of acute severe infection

JHEP Reports, 2020
Background & Aims: HDV infection induces the most severe form of human viral hepatitis. However, the specific reasons for the severity of the disease remain unknown.
