Gut microbiota alterations in patients with non‐small‐cell lung cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We investigated the impact of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) on the gut microbiota in patients with locally advanced non‐small‐cell lung cancer. Overall gut microbiota composition remained largely stable throughout CRT while antibiotic exposure may influence microbial diversity.

The C‐terminal region of KIF26B is indispensable for nephron progenitor condensation and kidney formation in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KIF26B plays an important role in kidney development. We engineered mice lacking the C‐terminal region of KIF26B and found severe kidney defects, including bilateral renal agenesis, similar to full Kif26b knockout mice. The mutation disrupted nephron progenitor condensation and reduced Gdnf‐Wnt11 signaling, showing that the KIF26B C‐terminal region is ...

Recombination dynamics of a human Y-chromosomal palindrome:rapid GC-biased gene conversion, multi-kilobase conversion tracts, and rare inversions [PDF]

, 2013
The male-specific region of the human Y chromosome (MSY) includes eight large inverted repeats (palindromes) in which arm-to-arm similarity exceeds 99.9%, due to gene conversion activity.

SOX7 inhibits the malignant progression of bladder cancer via the DNMT3B/CYGB axis

Molecular Biomedicine
Bladder cancer (BCa) stands out as a highly prevalent malignant tumor affecting the urinary system. The Sex determining region Y-box protein family is recognized for its crucial role in BCa progression. However, the effect of Sex determining region Y-box

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Structural and functional conservation of fungal MatA and human SRY sex-determining proteins [PDF]

, 2014
Sex determination in animals and fungi is regulated by specific sex-determining genes. The Aspergillus nidulans mating type gene matA and the human SRY (Sex-Determining Region Y) encode proteins containing a single HMG (high-mobility group) domain ...

PCR amplification, sequencing, and in silico analysis of holandric genes TSPYand SRY in Nili Ravi buffalo

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences
The present work has been designed to study the evolutionary perspectives of two important holandric genes, namely, testis-specific protein, Y-encoded (TSPY), and sex determining region, Y-encoded (SRY) in Nili Ravi buffalo.

Cell surface CD11c as a neutrophil aging marker molecule

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cell surface CD11chi neutrophils were more aged and had better phagocytic function than CD11c−/lo neutrophils. Transcriptomic analysis of CD11chi neutrophils and CD11c−/lo neutrophils in pediatric population showed that the most difference was seen in infants.

High‐mobility‐group protein 2 regulated by microRNA‐127 and small heterodimer partner modulates pluripotency of mouse embryonic stem cells and liver tumor initiating cells

Hepatology Communications, 2017
High‐mobility‐group protein 2 (HMGB2) expression is up‐regulated in human liver cancer; however, little is known about its regulatory function. Here, we establish HMGB2 as a new modulator of the pluripotency of mouse embryonic stem cells.

MARK4 enhances stress granule formation under oxidative stress and increases tau accumulation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
MARK4 (red dots) localizes to stress granules (orange dots) and promotes their formation under oxidative stress by modulating TIA1 (blue dots). MARK4 and TIA1 synergistically increase tau (purple) accumulation, and the reduction of the TIA1 ortholog suppresses neurodegeneration in a fly model.
