Mitochondrial stress in advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis associated with chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Adaptive mitochondrial mechanisms allow mitochondrial resilience and prevent the worsening of fibrosis, while deregulation of these mechanisms promotes the progression from no/minimal‐mild (F0‐F2) fibrosis to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis (F3‐F4). Abstract Background and Aims Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection causes oxidative stress (OS) and alters ...

Sunflower centromeres consist of a centromere-specific LINE and a chromosome-specific tandem repeat

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
The kinetochore is a protein complex including kinetochore-specific proteins that plays a role in chromatid segregation during mitosis and meiosis. The complex associates with centromeric DNA sequences that are usually species-specific. In plant species,

Embryo culture in presence of oviductal fluid induces DNA methylation changes in bovine blastocysts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
During the transit through the oviduct, the early embryo initiates an extensive DNA methylation reprogramming of its genome. Given that these epigenetic modifications are susceptible to environmental factors, components present in the oviductal milieu ...

Methylation levels of the "long interspersed nucleotide element-1" repetitive sequences predict survival of melanoma patients

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2011
Background The prognosis of cutaneous melanoma (CM) differs for patients with identical clinico-pathological stage, and no molecular markers discriminating the prognosis of stage III individuals have been established.

Comprehensive In Silico Analysis of Retrotransposon Insertions within the Survival Motor Neuron Genes Involved in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Transposable elements (TEs) are interspersed repetitive and mobile DNA sequences within the genome. Better tools for evaluating TE-derived sequences have provided insights into the contribution of TEs to human development and disease.

Higher Alu methylation levels in catch-up growth in twenty-year-old offsprings. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Alu elements and long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) are two major human intersperse repetitive sequences. Lower Alu methylation, but not LINE-1, has been observed in blood cells of people in old age, and in menopausal women having lower bone mass

Complete mitochondrial genome of the endangered Prunus pedunculata (Prunoideae, Rosaceae) in China: characterization and phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionPrunus pedunculata (Prunoideae: Rosaceae), a relic shrub with strong resistance and multiple application values, is endangered in China. Extensive research had been devoted to gene expression, molecular markers, plastid genome analysis, and ...
