Characterization of Walls Are Thin 1 Family in Cucumis sativus and Functional Identification of CsWAT1-20 in Response to Podosphaera xanthii

Horticulturae
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is an economically important vegetable but powdery mildew (caused by Podosphaera xanthii) limits cucumber production. The WALLS ARE THIN1 (WAT1) gene is crucial for regulating secondary cell wall thickness and is pivotal in ...

COMP–PMEPA1 axis promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. We identify PMEPA1 (protein TMEPAI) as a novel COMP‐binding partner that mediates EMT via binding to the TSP domains of COMP, establishing the COMP–PMEPA1 axis as a key EMT driver in breast cancer.

Pre‐analytical optimization of cell‐free DNA and extracellular vesicle‐derived DNA for mutation detection in liquid biopsies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pre‐analytical handling critically determines liquid biopsy performance. This study defines practical best‐practice conditions for cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicle–derived DNA (evDNA), showing how processing time, storage conditions, tube type, and plasma input volume affect DNA integrity and mutation detection.

Characterization of the Escherichia coli Virulent Myophage ST32

Viruses, 2018
The virulent phage ST32 that infects the Escherichia coli strain ST130 was isolated from a wastewater sample in China and analyzed. Morphological observations showed that phage ST32 belongs to the Myoviridae family, as it has an icosahedral capsid and ...

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated

Characterizing the Cancer Genome in Blood [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2018
Cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be found in the bloodstream of individuals with cancer and are increasingly being explored as biomarkers in various aspects of cancer management. The application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies to ctDNA and CTC analysis are providing new opportunities to ...
