Structure, expression, and mutation of the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase gene. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1984
The wild-type mouse hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT; IMP:pyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase, EC 2.4.2.8) gene has been isolated from genomic libraries and its structure has been determined. This X chromosome-linked gene is greater than 33 kilobases long and is split into nine exons.

Falling from grace: HPRT is not suitable as an endogenous control for cancer-related studies

Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2019
HPRT is a housekeeping enzyme involved in recycling guanine and inosine in the purine salvage pathway. As a housekeeping gene, HPRT has been widely used as an endogenous control for molecular studies evaluating changes in gene expression.

Postprandial Metabolism, Inflammation, and Plasma Bile Acid Kinetics in a Rat Model: Implications for Translational Research

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Sprague‐Dawley rats were used to investigate postprandial metabolic and inflammatory responses following the consumption of an energy‐dense meal. Time‐resolved plasma and liver analyses revealed fluctuations in bile acid levels, particularly cholic acid, along with changes in metabolic intermediates, oxylipins, and inflammatory markers.

The housekeeping gene hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) regulates multiple developmental and metabolic pathways of murine embryonic stem cell neuronal differentiation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The mechanisms by which mutations of the purinergic housekeeping gene hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) cause the severe neurodevelopmental Lesch Nyhan Disease (LND) are poorly understood.

Cardioprotective effects of the extracellular chaperone clusterin in acute myocardial infarction

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.
In vivo, CLU−/− mice were more susceptible to acute myocardial infarction than CLU+/+ mice. Moreover, inflammation and histone levels were significantly increased in CLU−/− mice compared to CLU+/+ mice following ischemia/reperfusion. In vitro, CLU protects cardiomyocytes from histone‐ and/or hypoxia‐induced cell death.

Nucleosided derived antibiotics to fight microbial drug resistance: New utilities for an established class of drugs? [PDF]

, 2016
Novel antibiotics are urgently needed to combat the rise of infections due to drug-resistant microorganisms. Numerous natural nucleosides and their synthetically modified analogues have been reported to have moderate to good antibiotic activity against ...

Modulation of host glutamine anabolism enhances the sensitivity of small cell lung cancer to chemotherapy

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the deadliest human cancers, with a 5-year survival rate of ∼7%. Here, we performed a targeted proteomics analysis of human SCLC samples and thereby identified hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 ...

Achilles tenocytes from diabetic and non diabetic donors exposed to hyperglycemia respond differentially to inflammatory stimuli and stretch

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Scheme depicting the experimental set up of the study. Achilles tendons and tenocytes were isolated from heterozygous (fa/+, non diabetic: non DMT2) and homozygous (fa/fa, diabetic: DMT2) Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats. Tendon degeneration, collagen type 1 alpha 1 chain (COL1A1) and alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA) expression was determined in rat ...

PLK4 is a potential therapeutic target in nonmelanoma skin cancers: Evidence from molecular and in vivo studies

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation is the main etiologic driver of nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), including basal cell (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC), which are the most prevalent types of cancers in the US. In this study, we demonstrate that the serine/threonine kinase Polo‐like kinase 4 (PLK4) is overexpressed in NMSCs ...

Expand+Functional selection and systematic analysis of intronic splicing elements identify active sequence motifs and associated splicing factors [PDF]

, 2010
Despite the critical role of pre-mRNA splicing in generating proteomic diversity and regulating gene expression, the sequence composition and function of intronic splicing regulatory elements (ISREs) have not been well elucidated.
