A Simple Method to Generate Gene Knockout Clones in Human Cells Using Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nuclease (TALEN)

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2015
Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are naturally occurring proteins secreted by the plant pathogen, Xanthomonas, and fused to the Fok1 endonuclease to generate TALE nucleases (TALENs).

PARP inhibitors elicit distinct transcriptional programs in homologous recombination competent castration‐resistant prostate cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PARP inhibitors are used to treat a small subset of prostate cancer patients. These studies reveal that PARP1 activity and expression are different between European American and African American prostate cancer tissue samples. Additionally, different PARP inhibitors cause unique and overlapping transcriptional changes, notably, p53 pathway upregulation.

May I Cut in? Gene Editing Approaches in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

open access: yesCells, 2017
In the decade since Yamanaka and colleagues described methods to reprogram somatic cells into a pluripotent state, human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have demonstrated tremendous promise in numerous disease modeling, drug discovery, and ...

Development of Medicinal Products Based on Gene-Editing Technology: Regulatory Practices

open access: yesРегуляторные исследования и экспертиза лекарственных средств, 2023
Somatic cell genome-editing systems are the most recent gene therapy technology to treat patients with monogenic hereditary cancer or HIV. Gene editing allows for changing or completely removing a defective gene with regularly interspaced short ...

Liquid biopsy epigenetics: establishing a molecular profile based on cell‐free DNA

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) fragments in plasma from cancer patients carry epigenetic signatures reflecting their cells of origin. These epigenetic features include DNA methylation, nucleosome modifications, and variations in fragmentation. This review describes the biological properties of each feature and explores optimal strategies for harnessing cfDNA ...

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Magnetic separation and antibiotics selection enable enrichment of cells with ZFN/TALEN-induced mutations. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The ability to enrich cells with targeted mutations greatly facilitates the process of using engineered nucleases, including zinc-finger nucleases and transcription activator-like effector nucleases, to construct such cells.

dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Efficient Gene Transfer and Gene Editing in Sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus)

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2018
The sturgeon (Acipenseriformes) is an important farmed species because of its economical value. However, neither gene transfer nor gene editing techniques have been established in sturgeon for molecular breeding and gene functional study until now.
