Abstract Single-cell omics technologies have revolutionized molecular profiling by providing high-resolution insights into cellular heterogeneity and complexity. Traditional bulk approaches average signals from heterogeneous cell populations, thereby obscuring important nuances. studies enable the analysis of individual cells reveal diverse types, dynamic states, rare populations. These techniques offer unprecedented resolution sensitivity, enabling researchers to unravel landscape cells....
Cellular behavior is determined not by a single molecule but many molecules that interact strongly with one another and form complex network. It unclear whether cellular can be controlled regulating certain molecular components in the By analyzing variety of biomolecular regulatory networks, we discovered only small fraction network need to regulated govern dynamics control behavior. We defined minimal set must make cell reach desired stable state as kernel developed general algorithm for...
To process large-scale single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data effectively without excessive distortion during dimension reduction, we present SHARP, an ensemble random projection-based algorithm that is scalable to clustering 10 million cells. Comprehensive benchmarking tests on 17 public scRNA-seq sets show SHARP outperforms existing methods in terms of speed and accuracy. Particularly, for large-size (more than 40,000 cells), runs faster other competitors while maintaining high...
Abstract Understanding the specific survival of rare chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) stem cell population could provide a target for therapeutics aimed at eradicating these cells. However, little is known about how signalling regulated in CML In this study, we survey global metabolic differences between murine normal haematopoietic cells (HSCs) and using metabolomics techniques. Strikingly, show that accumulate significantly higher levels certain dipeptide species than HSCs. Once...
Recent advances in genome and transcriptome analysis have contributed to the identification of many potential cancer-related genes. Furthermore, biological clinical investigations candidate genes provide us with a better understanding carcinogenesis development cancer treatment. Here, we report novel role KIAA1324 as tumor suppressor gastric cancer. We observed that was downregulated most cancers from sequencing data found histone deacetylase involved suppression KIAA1324. Low levels were...
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered incurable with currently available treatments, highlighting the need for therapeutic targets and predictive biomarkers. Here, we report a unique role Bcl-2-associated athanogene 2 (BAG2), which significantly overexpressed in TNBC, regulating dual functions of cathepsin B as either pro- or anti-oncogenic enzyme. Silencing BAG2 suppresses tumorigenesis lung metastasis induces apoptosis by increasing intracellular mature form B, whereas...
Abstract Although accumulating evidence indicates that alternative splicing is aberrantly altered in many cancers, the functional mechanism remains to be elucidated. Here, we show epithelial and mesenchymal isoform switches of leucine-rich repeat Fli-I-interacting protein 2 (LRRFIP2) regulated by regulatory 1 (ESRP1) correlate with metastatic potential gastric cancer cells. We found expression variants LRRFIP2 was closely correlated ESRP1 . Surprisingly, ectopic (variant 3) dramatically...
Cells have evolved their communication methods to sense microenvironments and send biological signals. In addition using ligands receptors, cells use diverse channels including gap junctions communicate with immediate neighbors. Current approaches, however, cannot effectively capture the influence of various microenvironments. Here, we propose a novel approach investigate cell neighbor-dependent gene expression (CellNeighborEX) in spatial transcriptomics (ST) data. To categorize based on...
Development of multicellular organisms is orchestrated by persistent cell-cell communication between neighboring partners. Direct interaction different cell types can induce molecular signals that dictate lineage specification and fate decisions. Current single-cell RNA-seq technology cannot adequately analyze contact-dependent gene expression, mainly due to the loss spatial information. To overcome this obstacle resolve contact-specific expression during embryogenesis, we performed RNA...
An algorithmic approach enables the simplification of complex signaling networks and identifies potential therapeutic targets.
Constitutive heterochromatin undergoes a dynamic clustering and spatial reorganization during myogenic differentiation. However the detailed mechanisms its role in cell differentiation remain largely elusive. Here, we report identification of muscle-specific long non-coding RNA, ChRO1, involved constitutive reorganization. ChRO1 is induced terminal myoblasts, specifically localized to chromocenters myotubes. required for efficient differentiation, with global impacts on gene expression. It...
Abstract Accurate prediction of gene regulatory rules is important towards understanding cellular processes. Existing computational algorithms devised for bulk transcriptomics typically require a large number time points to infer networks (GRNs), are applicable small genes and fail detect potential causal relationships effectively. Here, we propose novel approach ‘TENET’ reconstruct GRNs from single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) datasets. Employing transfer entropy (TE) measure the amount...
Abstract Bone undergoes a constant and continuous remodeling process that is tightly regulated by the coordinated sequential actions of bone-resorbing osteoclasts bone-forming osteoblasts. Recent studies have shown histone demethylases are implicated in osteoblastogenesis; however, little known about role osteoclast formation. Here, we identified KDM4B as an epigenetic regulator differentiation. Knockdown significantly blocked formation tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive...
KIAA1324 is a transmembrane protein largely reported as tumor suppressor and favorable prognosis marker in various cancers, including gastric cancer. In this study, we report the role of N-linked glycosylation functional post-translational modification (PTM). Loss eliminated potential to suppress cancer cell proliferation migration. Furthermore, demonstrated that undergoes fucosylation, N-glycan mediated by fucosyltransferase, inhibition fucosylation also significantly suppressed...
Biological pathways can provide key information on the organization of biological systems. ArrayXPath (http://www.snubi.org/software/ArrayXPath/) is a web-based service for mapping and visualizing microarray gene-expression data integrated pathway resources using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). By integrating major bio-databases searching resources, automatically maps different types identifiers from probes elements. When one inputs clusters, produces list best matching each cluster. We...
Cacao beans contain various bioactive phytochemicals that could modify the pathogeneses of certain diseases. Here, we report oral administration cacao powder (CP) attenuates UVB-induced skin wrinkling by regulation genes involved in dermal matrix production and maintenance. Transcriptome analysis revealed 788 are down- or upregulated CP supplemented group, compared with UVB-irradiated mouse controls. Among differentially expressed genes, cathepsin G serpin B6c play important roles wrinkle...
Abstract Transitional hypoglycemia in normal newborns occurs the first 3 days of life and has clinical features consistent with hyperinsulinism. We found a lower threshold for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from freshly isolated embryonic day (E) 22 rat islets, which persisted into postnatal days. The reached adult level by (P) 14. Culturing P14 islets also decreased glucose threshold. Freshly P1 had response to 2-aminobicyclo-(2, 2, 1)-heptane-2-carboxylic acid, nonmetabolizable...
Despite favorable responses to initial chemotherapy, drug resistance is a major cause limiting chemotherapeutic efficacy in many advanced cancers. However, mechanisms that drive drug-specific chemotherapy for patients with cancers are still unclear. Here, we report unique role of death-associated protein kinase-related apoptosis-inducing kinase 1 (DRAK1) associated paclitaxel cervical cancer cells. Interestingly, DRAK1 level was markedly decreased paclitaxel-resistant cells without affecting...
