Significance Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) play important roles in lung cancer initiation, progression, and even metastasis. Here, we take advantage of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9-mediated screening vivo technique to identify multiple tumor contributing malignant progression. Using genetically engineered mouse models, further confirm tumor-suppressive role epigenetic regulator UTX provide therapeutic implications for UTX-deficient tumors. Thus, our work...

Heat stress greatly threatens crop production. Plants have evolved multiple adaptive mechanisms, including alternative splicing, that allow them to withstand this stress. However, how splicing contributes heat responses in wheat (Triticum aestivum) is unclear. We reveal the shock transcription factor gene TaHSFA6e alternatively spliced response generates two major functional transcripts: TaHSFA6e-II and TaHSFA6e-III. TaHSFA6e-III enhances transcriptional activity of three downstream protein...

Human lung adenosquamous cell carcinoma (LUAS), containing both adenomatous and squamous pathologies, harbors strong plasticity is significantly associated with poor prognosis. We established an up-to-date comprehensive genomic transcriptomic landscape of LUAS in 109 Chinese specimens demonstrated development via adeno-to-squamous transdifferentiation. Unsupervised clustering dynamic network biomarker analysis identified inflammatory subtype as the critical transition stage during...

The mRNA-LNP vaccine has received much attention during the COVID-19 pandemic since it served as basis of most widely used SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in Western countries. Based on early clinical trial data, these were deemed safe and effective for all demographics. However, latest data raise serious concerns about safety effectiveness vaccines. Here, we review some efficacy identified to date. We also discuss potential mechanism observed adverse events related use whether they can be mitigated by...

Abstract Heat stress threatens global wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) production, causing dramatic yield losses worldwide. Identifying heat tolerance genes and comprehending molecular mechanisms are essential. Here, we identify a gene, TaSG-D1 E286K , in Indian dwarf sphaerococcum ), which encodes an STKc_GSK3 kinase. improves compared to by enhancing phosphorylation stability of downstream target TaPIF4 under condition. Additionally, reveal evolutionary footprints during selective breeding...

Metastasis is the dominant cause of patient death in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), and a better understanding molecular mechanisms underlying SCLC metastasis may potentially improve clinical treatment. Through genome-scale screening for key regulators mouse Rb1-/- Trp53-/- using pooled CRISPR/Cas9 library, we identified Cullin5 (CUL5) suppressor cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), two components Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, as top candidates. Mechanistically, deficiency CUL5 or SOCS3...

Heat stress is a major limiting factor for global wheat production and causes dramatic yield loss worldwide. The TaMBF1c gene upregulated in response to heat wheat. Understanding the molecular mechanisms associated with responses will pave way improve thermotolerance. Through CRISPR/Cas9-based editing, polysome profiling coupled RNA-sequencing analysis, protein-protein interactions, we show that conferred via regulating specific translation results showed evolutionarily conserved diploid,...

Alternative splicing (AS) occurs extensively in eukaryotes as an important mechanism for regulating transcriptome complexity and proteome diversity, but variation the AS landscape response to domestication polyploidization crops is unclear. Hexaploid wheat (AABBDD, Triticum aestivum) has undergone two separate allopolyploidization events, providing ideal model studying changes during events. In this study, we performed high-throughput sequencing of roots leaves from species with varied...

Nucleoside modified mRNA combined with Acuitas Therapeutics’ lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) has been shown to support robust humoral immune responses in many preclinical animal vaccine studies and later humans the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. We recently showed that this platform is highly inflammatory due LNPs’ ionizable component. The property key development of potent responses. However, mechanism by which drives T follicular helper (Tfh) cells remains unknown. Here we show lack Langerhans or...

Hundreds of millions SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-LNP vaccine doses have already been administered to humans. However, we lack a comprehensive understanding the immune effects this platform. The mRNA-LNP-based is highly inflammatory, and its synthetic ionizable lipid component responsible for induction inflammation has long in vivo half-life. Since chronic can lead exhaustion non-responsiveness, sought determine pre-exposure on adaptive responses innate fitness. We found that mRNA-LNPs or LNP alone led...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are key regulators of adaptive immunity, guiding T helper (Th) cell differentiation through antigen presentation, co-stimulation, and cytokine production. However, in steady-state conditions, certain DC subsets, such as Langerhans (LCs), induce follicular (Tfh) B responses without inflammatory stimuli. Using multiple mouse models vitro systems, we investigated the mechanisms underlying LC-induced immune responses. We found that LCs drive germinal center Tfh antibody...
