Diversifying the structure of zinc finger nucleases for high-precision genome editing

Nature Communications, 2019
Genome editing often requires cleavage within a narrow sequence window. Here the authors develop an expanded set of zinc finger nuclease architectures that increase the available configurations by a factor of 64 and can target almost every base at loci ...

STAT3 expression is reduced in cardiac pericytes in HFpEF and its loss reduces cellular adhesion and induces pericyte senescence

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of the heart failure cases. It is characterised by microvascular dysfunction, associated with reduced pericyte coverage and diminished STAT3 expression in pericytes. Loss of STAT3 impairs pericyte adhesion, promotes senescence, and activates a pro‐fibrotic gene program.

Targeted transcriptional downregulation of MYC using epigenomic controllers demonstrates antitumor activity in hepatocellular carcinoma models

Nature Communications
Dysregulation of master regulator c-MYC (MYC) plays a central role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other cancers but remains an elusive target for therapeutic intervention.

A quantitative study on the role of TKI combined with Wnt/$β$-catenin signaling and IFN-$α$ in the treatment of CML through deterministic and stochastic approaches [PDF]

, 2019
We propose deterministic and stochastic models for studying the pharmacokinetics of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), upon administration of IFN-$\alpha$ (the traditional treatment for CML), TKI (the current frontline medication for CML) and Wnt/$\beta$-catenin signaling (the state-of-the art therapeutic breakthrough for CML).

Bitter Taste Receptors for Asthma Therapeutics. [PDF]

, 2019
Clinical management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has primarily relied on the use of beta 2 adrenergic receptor agonists (bronchodilators) and corticosteroids, and more recently, monoclonal antibody therapies (biologics ...

Ion channel function of polycystin‐2/polycystin‐1 heteromer revealed by structure‐guided mutagenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutations in polycystin‐1 (PC1) or polycystin‐2 (PC2) cause autosomal‐dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We generated a novel gain‐of‐function PC2/PC1 heteromeric ion channel by mutating pore‐blocking residues. Moreover, we demonstrated that PC2 will preferentially assemble with PC1 to form heteromeric complexes when PC1 is co‐expressed ...

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...
