STAT3 expression is reduced in cardiac pericytes in HFpEF and its loss reduces cellular adhesion and induces pericyte senescence

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of the heart failure cases. It is characterised by microvascular dysfunction, associated with reduced pericyte coverage and diminished STAT3 expression in pericytes. Loss of STAT3 impairs pericyte adhesion, promotes senescence, and activates a pro‐fibrotic gene program.

Spatiotemporal single-cell architecture of gene expression in the Caenorhabditis elegans germ cells

Cell Discovery
Spermatogenesis is an intricate and tightly controlled process encompassing various layers of gene expression regulation. Despite the advance of our current understanding, the developmental trajectory and regulatory mechanisms dictating spermatogenesis ...

Ion channel function of polycystin‐2/polycystin‐1 heteromer revealed by structure‐guided mutagenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutations in polycystin‐1 (PC1) or polycystin‐2 (PC2) cause autosomal‐dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We generated a novel gain‐of‐function PC2/PC1 heteromeric ion channel by mutating pore‐blocking residues. Moreover, we demonstrated that PC2 will preferentially assemble with PC1 to form heteromeric complexes when PC1 is co‐expressed ...

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...

Enhancer mediated regulation of developmental gene expression

The FASEB Journal, 2012
Cell‐fate transitions involve the integration of genomic information encoded by regulatory elements, such as enhancers, with cellular and signaling environments. Identification of genomic sequences that control human embryonic development represents a formidable challenge, as they are embedded within a vast non‐coding genomic space.

Post-transcriptional gene expression regulation in developmental disorders

, 2021
Gene expression regulation is a set of critical biological processes that give rise to the diversity of cell types across tissues and development stages. Noncoding regions of the genome (intergenic + intronic, >98% of genome) play an important role in these processes, with noncoding genetic variation quantitatively affecting transcriptional activity,

Deep Low-Shot Learning for Biological Image Classification and Visualization from Limited Training Samples [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Predictive modeling is useful but very challenging in biological image analysis due to the high cost of obtaining and labeling training data. For example, in the study of gene interaction and regulation in Drosophila embryogenesis, the analysis is most biologically meaningful when in situ hybridization (ISH) gene expression pattern images from the same

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

B cell mechanobiology in health and disease: emerging techniques and insights into therapeutic responses

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Expression of cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthetase gene is developmentally regulated

Mechanisms of Development, 2002
Acetyl-CoA synthetase (AceCS) provides acetyl-CoA for different physiological processes, such as fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, as well as the citric acid cycle. We show here that the cytosolic isoform of this enzyme, AceCS1, is expressed during mouse development. In the embryonic stage E9.5 AceCS1 transcripts localize in the cephalic region. At
