Identification of the initial molecular changes in response to circulating angiogenic cells-mediated therapy in critical limb ischemia [PDF]
BackgroundCritical limb ischemia (CLI) constitutes the most aggressive form of peripheral arterial occlusive disease, characterized by the blockade of arteries supplying blood to the lower extremities, significantly diminishing oxygen and nutrient supply.

Tissue-specific gene silencing monitored in circulating RNA [PDF]
Pharmacologic target gene modulation is the primary objective for RNA antagonist strategies and gene therapy. Here we show that mRNAs encoding tissue-specific gene transcripts can be detected in biological fluids and that RNAi-mediated target gene ...

Global 5′-UTR RNA structure regulates translation of a SERPINA1 mRNA
Abstract SERPINA1 mRNAs encode the protease inhibitor α-1-antitrypsin and are regulated through post-transcriptional mechanisms. α-1-antitrypsin deficiency leads to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and liver cirrhosis, and specific variants in the 5′-untranslated region (5′-UTR) are associated with COPD.

SERPINA1 Peptides in Urine as A Potential Marker of Preeclampsia Severity [PDF]
Preeclampsia (PE) is a multisystem disorder associated with pregnancy and its frequency varies from 5 to 20 percent of pregnancies. Although a number of preeclampsia studies have been carried out, there is no consensus about disease etiology and pathogenesis so far. Peptides of SERPINA1 (α1-antitrypsin) in urine remain one of the most promising peptide

Extension of the crRNA enhances Cpf1 gene editing in vitro and in vivo. [PDF]
Engineering of the Cpf1 crRNA has the potential to enhance its gene editing efficiency and non-viral delivery to cells. Here, we demonstrate that extending the length of its crRNA at the 5 end can enhance the gene editing efficiency of Cpf1 both in cells

Gene expression profiles among murine strains segregate with distinct differences in the progression of radiation-induced lung disease. [PDF]
Molecular mechanisms underlying development of acute pneumonitis and/or late fibrosis following thoracic irradiation remain poorly understood. Here, we hypothesize that heterogeneity in disease progression and phenotypic expression of radiation-induced ...

Hepatocyte-like cells reveal novel role of SERPINA1 in transthyretin amyloidosis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Transthyretin (TTR)-related familial amyloid polyneuropathy (ATTR) results from aggregation and extracellular disposition of misfolded TTR mutants. Growing evidence suggests the importance of hepatic chaperones for the modulation of pathogenesis.

SERPINB3 delays glomerulonephritis and attenuates the lupus-like disease in lupus murine models by inducing a more tolerogenic immune phenotype [PDF]
Objective: To explore the effects of SERPINB3 administration in murine lupus models with a focus on lupus-like nephritis. Methods: 40 NZB/W F1 mice were subdivided into 4 groups and intraperitoneally injected with recombinant SERPINB3 (7.5 \u3bcg/0.1 mL ...

Splicing variants of SERPINA1 gene in ovine milk: characterization of cDNA and identification of polymorphisms. [PDF]
The serine protease inhibitor, clade A, member 1 (SERPINA1) is the gene for a protein called alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT), which is a member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) superfamily of proteins. By conformational change, serpins control several
