A Fokker-Planck approach to the study of robustness in gene expression [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
We study several Fokker-Planck equations arising from a stochastic chemical kinetic system modeling a gene regulatory network in biology. The densities solving the Fokker-Planck equations describe the joint distribution of the messenger RNA and micro RNA content in a cell.

Obesity alters the fitness of peritumoral adipose tissue, exacerbating tumor invasiveness in renal cancer through the induction of ADAM12 and CYP1B1

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor microenvironment drives cancer formation and progression. We analyzed the role of human cancer‐associated adipocytes from patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) stratified as lean, overweight, or obese. RNA‐seq demonstrated that, among the most altered genes involved in the tumor–stroma crosstalk, are ADAM12 and CYP1B1, which were proven to be ...

RNAlater facilitates remote sampling of aquaculture Atlantic salmon liver for proteomic analysis

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 578-586, December 2022., 2022
Graphical Abstract Proteomes of similar sizes were obtained in samples preserved by snap‐freezing or RNAlater. Proteins involved in transcriptional and translational machinery were affected in RNAlater stored samples. Abundance of published markers for heat and oxidative stress was not affected by snap‐freezing or RNAlater.

Changes in the expression of genes involved in cell cycle regulation and the relative telomere length in the process of canceration induced by omethoate

Tumor Biology, 2017
Organophosphorous pesticides (OPs), with high efficiency, broad-spectrum and low residue, are widely used in China. Omethoate is a broad category of organophosphorous pesticides and is more domestically utilized which has chronic toxic effect on human ...

A thermostable messenger RNA based vaccine against rabies. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Although effective rabies virus vaccines have been existing for decades, each year, rabies virus infections still cause around 50.000 fatalities worldwide. Most of these cases occur in developing countries, where these vaccines are not available.

Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion after Messenger RNA-Based COVID-19 Vaccine

Case Reports in Ophthalmology, 2022
Two days after the second dose of the messenger RNA-based COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2), a healthy 38-year-old man developed branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in his left eye (OS).

TRPM4 contributes to cell death in prostate cancer tumor spheroids, and to extravasation and metastasis in a zebrafish xenograft model system

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Transient receptor potential melastatin‐4 (TRPM4) is overexpressed in prostate cancer (PCa). Knockout of TRPM4 resulted in reduced PCa tumor spheroid size and decreased PCa tumor spheroid outgrowth. In addition, lack of TRPM4 increased cell death in PCa tumor spheroids.

Messenger RNA expression of toll-like receptors (TLR2, TLR4, and TLR9) in HIV-1 infected patients with and without tuberculosis co-infection

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2022
Background: Gene expression levels of TLRs (TLR2, TLR4 and TLR9) are directly involved in the virus recognition and initiation of innate immune responses, therefore, the effect of HIV infection on TLRs gene expression was investigated in functional ...

Molecular and functional profiling unravels targetable vulnerabilities in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We used whole exome and RNA‐sequencing to profile divergent genomic and transcriptomic landscapes of microsatellite stable (MSS) and microsatellite instable (MSI) colorectal cancer. Alterations were classified using a computational score for integrative cancer variant annotation and prioritization.

Tissue mosaicism, FMR1 expression and intellectual functioning in males with fragile X syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 2, Page 357-369, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by hypermethylation of the FMR1 promoter due to the full mutation expansion (full mutation [FM]: CGG ≥ 200 repeats) and silencing of FMR1. Assessment of mosaicism for active‐unmethylated alleles has prognostic utility.
