PIE-1 Translation in the Germline Lineage Contributes to PIE-1 Asymmetry in the Early Caenorhabditis elegans Embryo [PDF]
In the C. elegans embryo, the germline lineage is established through successive asymmetric cell divisions that each generate a somatic and a germline daughter cell.

Saffron-Derived Antioxidant and Passiflora incarnata L. Extract Preserve Cerebellar Fetuin-A and Protect Purkinje Cells Against MPTP/MPP+-Induced Injury [PDF]
Oxidative stress contributes to neuronal injury in Parkinson’s disease (PD), and the cerebellum is increasingly recognized as an affected region. We previously reported that Fetuin-A (alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein) is reduced in cerebellar Purkinje cells in ...

Dysregulation of cholesterol metabolism decreases cervical cancer cells’ migratory ability caused by propofol in vitro [PDF]
Cervical cancer is a prevalent gynecological malignancy, and surgical resection can be curative for early-stage disease. Propofol is a commonly used intravenous anesthetic during cervical cancer surgery. However, the effects of propofol on the biological

PIE-seq: identifying RNA-binding protein targets by dual RNA-deaminase editing and sequencing [PDF]
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are essential for gene regulation, but it remains a challenge to identify their RNA targets across cell types. Here we present PIE-Seq to investigate Protein-RNA Interaction with dual-deaminase Editing and Sequencing by ...

A combined PIE-FRET and FCS assay to monitor RNA dynamics and cleavage by SARS-CoV-2 Nsp15 [PDF]
Nsp15 is an endoribonuclease, highly conserved among coronaviruses, that helps the virus evade detection in host cells by cleaving uridine-rich viral RNA sequences. Those sequences would otherwise trigger immune response pathways.

Immunobiotic Bifidobacteria Strains Modulate Rotavirus Immune Response in Porcine Intestinal Epitheliocytes via Pattern Recognition Receptor Signaling. [PDF]
In this work, we aimed to characterize the antiviral response of an originally established porcine intestinal epithelial cell line (PIE cells) by evaluating the molecular innate immune response to rotavirus (RVs).

Immunoregulatory effect of bifidobacteria strains in porcine intestinal epithelial cells through modulation of ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20 expression. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: We previously showed that evaluation of anti-inflammatory activities of lactic acid bacteria in porcine intestinal epithelial (PIE) cells is useful for selecting potentially immunobiotic strains. OBJECTIVE: The aims of the present study were:
