Dissecting human trophoblast cell transcriptional heterogeneity in preeclampsia using single‐cell RNA sequencing

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2021
Objective PE is a pregnancy‐specific syndrome that affects 3%–5% of pregnant women. It often presents as new‐onset hypertension and proteinuria during the third trimester.

Minor spliceosome and disease

open access: yesSeminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2018
The U12-dependent (minor) spliceosome excises a rare group of introns that are characterized by a highly conserved 5' splice site and branch point sequence. Several new congenital or somatic diseases have recently been associated with mutations in components of the minor spliceosome.

An Atomic Structure of the Human Spliceosome [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2017
Mechanistic understanding of pre-mRNA splicing requires detailed structural information on various states of the spliceosome. Here we report the cryo electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the human spliceosome just before exon ligation (the C∗ complex) at an average resolution of 3.76 Å.

Placental and Cord Blood DNA Methylation Changes Associated With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in a Marginalized Population: The Untold Role of Saturated Fats

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Excessive intake of saturated fats during pregnancy is associated with DNA hypomethylation in placental and cord blood samples from women affected with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), impacting, in particular, the cord blood promoter of ZFP57, a key regulator of early embryonic epigenetic programming.

Proteomic Profiling Informs Mechanisms of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Inhibition by Cranberry Proanthocyanidins

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
In this study we utilized proteomic profiling to investigate mechanisms linked to the cancer‐inhibitory effect of cranberry proanthocyanidins (CPACs) on reflux‐induced esophageal adenocarcinoma in a rat model. The results indicate that CPAC inhibits cancer through targeting multiple hallmarks of cancer known to be dysregulated in progression to ...

A stochastic view of spliceosome assembly and recycling in the nucleus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2007
How splicing factors are recruited to nascent transcripts in the nucleus in order to assemble spliceosomes on newly synthesised pre-mRNAs is unknown.

Universal power law behaviors in genomic sequences and evolutionary models

open access: yes, 2007
We study the length distribution of a particular class of DNA sequences known as 5'UTR exons. These exons belong to the messanger RNA of protein coding genes, but they are not coding (they are located upstream of the coding portion of the mRNA) and are ...

Identification of a novel splice variant of the haloacid dehalogenase: PHOSPHO1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
PHOSPHO1, a new member of the haloacid dehalogenase superfamily, has recently been implicated in the mineralization process in both osteoblasts and chondrocytes.

Folate‐Associated DNA Methylation and Chemotherapy‐Induced Toxicities in Patients With Colorectal Cancer

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Over half of patients with colorectal cancer experience severe chemotherapy‐induced side effects. The B‐vitamin folate may play a role in these side effects, potentially by altering DNA methylation, a mechanism of gene regulation. Our comprehensive literature search identified studies investigating DNA methylation associated with folate status/intake ...

Population genomic analyses reveal extensive genomic regions within selective sweeps associated with adaptation and demographic history of a wheat fungal pathogen

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Applying population genomics, this study revealed that Pst exhibits slower linkage disequilibrium decay compared to rust fungi with known sexual reproduction, identified extensive hard and soft sweeps linked to Pst adaptation, and demonstrated that crop domestication and breeding programs have significantly influenced pathogen population sizes ...
