STAR ProtocolsSummary: Gene editing of human pluripotent stem cells is a promising approach for developing targeted gene therapies for metabolic diseases. Here, we present a protocol for generating a CRISPR-Cas12a gene knockout of protein tyrosine phosphatases in ...

Length-dependent gene misexpression is associated with Alzheimer’s disease progression
Scientific Reports, 2017 Recent reports show transcription preference for long genes in neuronal tissues compared with non-neuronal tissues, and a gene-length dependent change in expression in the neurodevelopmental disease Rett syndrome (RTT).

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

BMC Cancer, 2018 Background The presence of hypoxic areas is common in all breast lesions but no data clearly correlate low oxygenation with the acquisition of malignant features by non-invasive cells, particularly by cells from ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), the most ...

Integrins engage mitochondrial function for signal transduction by a mechanism dependent on Rho GTPases. [PDF]
, 2002 We show here the transient activation of the small GTPase Rac, followed by a rise in reactive oxygen species (ROS), as necessary early steps in a signal transduction cascade that lead to NFkappaB activation and collagenase-1 (CL-1)/matrix ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Physiological ReportsFatigue is a subjective phenomenon caused by physical or mental overexertion; however, its objective biomarkers specific to the types of fatigue remain unclear. Here, we examined whether plasma hepcidin levels, which are regulated by inflammation or iron

Proteomic maps of breast cancer subtypes
Nature Communications, 2016 Breast cancers have been extensively studied at the genomic and transcriptomic levels in the hope of tailoring therapeutic regimens. Here the authors generate deep coverage proteomes from several clinical breast cancer samples, and use machine learning ...

The effects of trastuzumab on HER2-mediated cell signaling in CHO cells expressing human HER2
BMC Cancer, 2018 Background Targeted therapy with trastuzumab has become a mainstay for HER2-positive breast cancer without a clear understanding of the mechanism of its action. While many mechanisms have been suggested for the action of trastuzumab, most of them are not

Targeted modulation of IGFL2‐AS1 reveals its translational potential in cervical adenocarcinoma
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cervical adenocarcinoma patients face worse outcomes than squamous cell carcinoma counterparts despite similar treatment. The identification of IGFL2‐AS1's differential expression provides a molecular basis for distinguishing these histotypes, paving the way for personalized therapies and improved survival in vulnerable populations globally.
