Inhibition of glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis by targeting splice variants of \u3ci\u3eBIM\u3c/i\u3e mRNA with small interfering RNA and short hairpin RNA. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Glucocorticoids (GCs) induce apoptosis in lymphocytes and are effective agents for the treatment of leukemia. The activated glucocorticoid receptor (GR) initiates a transcriptional program leading to caspase activation and cell death, but the critical ...

Polo‐Like Kinase 1 Phosphorylation Tunes the Functional Viscoelastic Properties of the Centrosome Scaffold

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
To enable mitotic spindle assembly during cell division, centrosomes must bear tensile stresses generated by microtubule‐mediated pulling forces. Micro‐rheology reveals that PLK‐1 phosphorylation of the scaffold protein SPD‐5 tunes the viscoelasticity, size, and morphology of the centrosome scaffold in C. elegans.

Alkaline–Acid Intestine Environment Controlled by A Carbonic Anhydrase Gene Influences Synthesis of Sex Pheromone by Symbionts

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A model proposing that elevated rectal expression of CAh1 in males alkalinizes the environment to regulate Bacillus production of a male‐specific sex pheromone. Abstract The intricate interplay between animals and their intestinal microbes is pivotal in shaping various aspects of animal biology.

A novel therapeutic strategy for pancreatic neoplasia using a novel RNAi platform targeting PDX-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Bi-functional shRNA (bi-shRNA), a novel RNA interference (RNAi) effector platform targeting PDX-1 utilizing a systemic DOTAP-Cholesterol delivery vehicle, was studied in three mouse models of progressive pancreatic neoplasia.

Enhanced Protein Synthesis and Hippocampus‐Dependent Memory via Inhibition of YTHDF2‐Mediated m6A mRNA Degradation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
YTHDF2‐mediated m6A mRNA decay critically regulates learning and memory. Its forebrain‐specific knockout in mice impedes degradation of m6A‐modified mRNAs, enhancing hippocampal synaptic transmission, protein synthesis, and memory. Conversely, hippocampal YTHDF2 reintroduction or SEMA4B reduction reverses this enhancement, while its overexpression ...

Mutations in the Key Autophagy Tethering Factor EPG5 Link Neurodevelopmental and Neurodegenerative Disorders Including Early‐Onset Parkinsonism

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Autophagy is a fundamental biological pathway with vital roles in intracellular homeostasis. During autophagy, defective cargoes including mitochondria are targeted to lysosomes for clearance and recycling. Recessive truncating variants in the autophagy gene EPG5 have been associated with Vici syndrome, a severe early‐onset neurodevelopmental
