Gut microbes participate in pathogenesis by interacting with the host genome through epigenetic mechanisms, such as long non-coding RNAs. However, mechanisms which microbiota induce expression alteration of RNAs remains unclear. Here, we quantified transcriptome human colon cell lines after being infected a common enteric pathogen Salmonella typhimurium SL1344 . We observed widespread lncRNAs alteration. Among them, elevated LINC00152 was verified and proved to be induced bacteria-derived...

The precise spatiotemporal control of cell proliferation is key to the morphogenesis epithelial tissues. Epithelial divisions lead tissue crowding and local changes in force distribution, which turn suppress rate divisions. However, molecular mechanisms underlying this mechanical feedback are largely unclear. Here, we identify a critical requirement B-plexin transmembrane receptors response crowding-induced forces during embryonic skin development. Epidermal stem cells lacking B-plexins fail...

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSCs-EVs) possess cardioprotection in acute myocardial infarction. Nevertheless, the therapeutic intervention potential and molecular mechanism of EVs from NMN (Nicotinamide mononucleotide) preconditioned hUCMSCs (N-EVs) infarction remains unknown. In present study, (M-EVs) N-EVs were identified by electron microscopy, immunoblotting nanoparticle tracking analysis. Compared with M-EVs, significantly increased proliferation, migration,...

Abstract Background Chemoimmunotherapy has shown promising advantages of eliciting immunogenic cell death and activating anti-tumor immune responses. However, the systemic toxicity chemotherapy tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment limit clinical application. Methods Here, an injectable sodium alginate hydrogel (ALG) loaded with nanoparticle albumin-bound-paclitaxel (Nab-PTX) immunostimulating agent R837 was developed for local administration. Two murine hepatocellular carcinoma breast...

The mouse bitter taste receptors Tas2r143, Tas2r135 and Tas2r126 are encoded by genes that cluster on chromosome 6 have been suggested to be expressed under common regulatory elements. Previous studies indicated the Tas2r143/Tas2r135/Tas2r126 is in heart, but other organs had not systematically analyzed. In order investigate expression of this receptor gene nongustatory tissues, we generated a BAC (bacterial artificial chromosome) based transgenic line, expressing CreERT2 control Tas2r143...
