Relative importance of the epistatic components of genotypic variance in non-inbred populations

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2004
There are theoretical approaches about genic interaction in polygenic systems and methodologies to confirm its occurrence. However, some relevant aspects as the relative importance of the epistatic components of genotypic variance deserve further ...

Deafness gene expression patterns in the mouse cochlea found by microarray analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundTonotopy is one of the most fundamental principles of auditory function. While gradients in various morphological and physiological characteristics of the cochlea have been reported, little information is available on gradient patterns of gene ...

Insights into a long life without cancer: The case of the bowhead whale

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Long‐lived, large‐bodied organisms have evolved powerful anticancer mechanisms that preserve cellular and tissue integrity across extended lifespans. A recent study by Firsanov et al. shows that greater genome stability is a key factor underlying the remarkable longevity and cancer resistance of one such species, the bowhead whale.

Proteasome inhibitor, ixazomib prevents topoisomerase‐I degradation and reverses irinotecan resistance in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Ixazomib inhibits proteasome‐mediated degradation of topoisomerase I induced by irinotecan, thereby restoring drug sensitivity and promoting tumor cell death in colorectal cancer. Irinotecan, a topoisomerase I (topoI) inhibitor, is widely used for colorectal cancer, but resistance remains a major clinical challenge.

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Targeting TNBC: core–shell polycationic polyurea dendrimers with inherent anticancer activity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Core–shell polycationic PURE dendrimers were tested in TNBC‐derived tumor models. Both formulations selectively targeted TNBC and effectively reduced tumor volume. PUREG4‐OEI48 suppressed tumor growth without detectable toxicity, whereas PUREG4‐OCEI24, despite showing efficacy, induced hepatic toxicity.

Down‐regulation of Shh in the hair follicles of mice during chemotherapy‐induced hair loss is mediated by the JAK/STAT1 signaling pathway

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We found that during chemotherapy‐induced alopecia (CIA), Sonic hedgehog (Shh) expression significantly decreased in hair follicle Shh+ cells, whereas the Janus‐activated kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (JAK/STAT1) signaling pathway was markedly activated.

Dominant Gα mutations in human disease: unifying mechanisms and treatment strategies

EMBO Molecular Medicine
Sixteen Gα-subunits transduce hundreds of G protein-coupled receptors and control countless cellular activities. Mutations in respective GNA genes underlie developmental, oncological, metabolic, neurological, and other pathologies.

Identification of a New Chromosomal Region Involved in the Genetic Control of Resistance to Anthracnose in Common Bean

The Plant Genome, 2015
Anthracnose caused by (Sacc. & Magnus) Lams.-Scrib. is a major disease affecting common bean ( L.) crops worldwide. Response to five isolates, classified as races 3, 6, 7, 38, and 73, were analyzed in 156 F families derived from the cross between line ...

SIRT4 positively regulates autophagy via ULK1, but independently of HDAC6 and OPA1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cells expressing SIRT4 (H161Y), a catalytically inactive mutant of the sirtuin SIRT4, fail to upregulate LC3B‐II and exhibit a reduced autophagic flux under stress conditions. Interestingly, SIRT4(H161Y) promotes phosphorylation of ULK1 at S638 and S758 that are associated with inhibition of autophagy initiation.
