Rhes depletion promotes striatal accumulation and aggregation of mutant huntingtin in a presymptomatic HD mouse model

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionHuntington’s disease (HD) is caused by CAG trinucleotide repeats in the HTT gene. Selective neurodegeneration in the striatum is prominent in HD, despite widespread expression of mutant HTT (mHTT).

Targeting Epilepsy Genes [PDF]

Neuron, 1996
In medieval art it was traditional to show a demon emanating from a suffering epileptic at the conclusion of a seizure, with concern clearly evident regarding its inevitable reappearance. In this century, anticonvulsant drugs have been developed for their ability to control, rather than prevent or reverse, seizure disorders.

Co-targeting RNA Polymerases IV and V Promotes Efficient De Novo DNA Methylation in Arabidopsis. [PDF]

, 2019
The RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway in plants controls gene expression via cytosine DNA methylation. The ability to manipulate RdDM would shed light on the mechanisms and applications of DNA methylation to control gene expression.

RNase P Ribozyme Effectively Inhibits Human CC-Chemokine Receptor 5 Expression and Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 Infection

Zoonotic Diseases, 2023
Developing novel antiviral agents and approaches is essential for the treatment against human and zoonotic viruses. We had previously produced RNase P-based ribozyme variants capable of efficiently cleaving mRNA in vitro.

CRISPR-Cas9-mediated functional dissection of 3'-UTRs. [PDF]

, 2017
Many studies using reporter assays have demonstrated that 3' untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) regulate gene expression by controlling mRNA stability and translation.

Transcriptome Analysis of Targeted Mouse Mutations Reveals the Topography of Local Changes in Gene Expression. [PDF]

, 2016
The unintended consequences of gene targeting in mouse models have not been thoroughly studied and a more systematic analysis is needed to understand the frequency and characteristics of off-target effects.

Kidney lipids in galactosylceramide synthase-deficient mice: absence of galactosylsulfatide and compensatory increase in more polar sulfoglycolipids1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
UDP-galactose:ceramide galactosyltransferase (CGT) catalyzes the final step in the synthesis of galactosylceramide (GalCer). It has previously been shown that CGT-deficient mice do not synthesize GalCer and its sulfated derivative GalCer I3-sulfate ...

Flipping the cyclooxygenase (Ptgs) genes reveals isoform-specific compensatory functions1,2[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2018
Two prostaglandin (PG) H synthases encoded by Ptgs genes, colloquially known as cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2, catalyze the formation of PG endoperoxide H2, the precursor of the major prostanoids.

Design of double-walled carbon nanotubes for biomedical applications [PDF]

, 2012
Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) prepared by catalytic chemical vapour deposition were functionalized in such a way that they were optimally designed as a nano-vector for the delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA), which is of great interest for

Lysyl oxidase drives tumour progression by trapping EGF receptors at the cell surface

Nature Communications, 2017
Lysyl oxidase is able to remodel the extracellular matrix and its expression correlates with poor prognosis. Here the authors show that this protein modulates trapping of the epidermal growth factor receptor at the cell surface, causing persistent ...
