The SNP rs2863002 at the 11p11.2 locus, identified through GWAS, is associated with an increased risk of neuroblastoma. The rs2863002‐C allele impairs the binding of the transcription factor GATA3, resulting in upregulation of the HSD17B12 gene.

Can we always sweep the details of RNA-processing under the carpet?
RNA molecules follow a succession of enzyme-mediated processing steps from transcription until maturation. The participating enzymes, for example the spliceosome for mRNAs and Drosha and Dicer for microRNAs, are also produced in the cell and their copy ...

NRF2 regulates HER1 signaling pathway to modulate the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to lapatinib and erlotinib [PDF]
NF-E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) regulates the transcription of a battery of metabolic and cytoprotective genes. NRF2 and epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs/HERs) are regulators of cellular proliferation and determinants of cancer initiation and ...

Two classes of small RNAs, microRNAs and short-interfering RNA (siRNAs), have been extensively studied in plants and animals. In Arabidopsis, the capacity to uncover previously uncharacterized small RNAs by means of conventional strategies seems to be ...

Irisin is a crucial plasma biomarker and promising therapeutic target that reflects disease severity, pulmonary vascular remodeling status and clinical outcome in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). As a novel protective factor, irisin is downregulated in PAH. By ubiquitination, irisin promotes Enolase 1 degradation and suppresses cell

Long Noncoding RNA NONHSAT233728.1 Promotes ROS Accumulation and Granulosa Cell Apoptosis by Regulating the MAPK/ERK1/2 Signaling Pathway. [PDF]
Through isolation and transcriptomic profiling of granulosa cells, we identified the functional significance of lncRNA NONHSAT233728.1 in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) pathogenesis. Knockdown of lncRNA NONHSAT233728.1 in granulosa cells elevated ROS levels, reduced the Bcl2/Bax ratio, downregulated phospho‐ERK1/2, and increased IL‐8 secretion. These

Human collagen Krox up-regulates type I collagen expression in normal and scleroderma fibroblasts through interaction with Sp1 and Sp3 transcription factors. [PDF]
Despite several investigations, the transcriptional mechanisms that regulate the expression of both type I collagen genes (COL1A1 and COL1A2) in either physiological or pathological situations, such as scleroderma, are not completely known.

Single‐cell RNA sequencing of lymph node (LN) samples is performed, and a comprehensive landscape of the entire ecosystem is generated. Paracrine orchestration of TME remodeling induced by GLO1 potentiates LN metastasis in breast cancer. This study offers novel perspectives on the microenvironment remodeling of breast cancer LN metastases, suggesting ...

Dlgh1 coordinates actin polymerization, synaptic T cell receptor and lipid raft aggregation, and effector function in T cells. [PDF]
Lipid raft membrane compartmentalization and membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family molecular scaffolds function in establishing cell polarity and organizing signal transducers within epithelial cell junctions and neuronal synapses. Here, we

RelA/NF-kappaB recruitment on the bax gene promoter antagonizes p73-dependent apoptosis in costimulated T cells [PDF]
The balance between antiapoptotic and proapoptotic proteins of the Bcl-2 family is critical in determining the fate of T cells in response to death stimuli.
