Autocrine vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) can regulate the survival and progression of cancers through its various receptors. But mechanisms mediators for these functions are largely uncovered, especially in breast cancer. We examined potential roles VEGF/neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) axis regulating tumorigenesis metastasis cancer found expression VEGF NRP-1 correlated with aggressiveness Knockdown or inhibited proliferation, migration invasion, but enhanced apoptosis MDA-MB-231 cells. In...
Abstract Gene functional descriptions offer a crucial line of evidence for candidate genes underlying trait variation. Conversely, plant responses to environmental cues represent important resources decipher gene function and subsequently provide molecular targets improvement through editing. However, biological roles large proportions across the phylogeny are poorly annotated. Here we describe Joint Genome Institute (JGI) Plant Atlas, an updateable data resource consisting transcript...
Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan that has an important role in cell growth and differentiation, its function tumorigenesis tissue-dependent. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the overexpression of GPC3 been demonstrated to be reliable diagnostic indicator. However, mechanisms regulate expression remain unclear. The oncoprotein c-Myc transcription factor plays significant more than 50% human tumors. We report here transcriptional target also regulated by GPC3, thus forming...
Abstract BACKGROUND Hepatoma‐derived growth factor (HDGF) is a novel derived from hepatoma cell line. The current study was designed to elucidate the role of HDGF expression during pathogenesis hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS in lines analyzed using reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR), Western blot analysis, and immunofluorescence analysis. Immunohistochemical studies were performed examine intensity spatial distribution immunostaining 105 HCC specimens. To...
MicroRNA (miRNA or miR) expression profiles are altered in tissues under hypoxic-ischemic conditions. The of miR‑140 is downregulated >2-fold following brain damage, however, its role angiogenesis subsequent to cerebral ischemia not fully understood. present study aimed investigate the miR-140-5p and molecular mechanism mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) an vitro model for ischemia. rat middle artery occlusion (MCAO) was constructed, results from reverse...
Myocardial infarction (MI) compromises the cardiac microvascular endothelial barrier, increasing leakage and inflammation. HIF2α, predominantly expressed in cells during ischemia, has an unclear role barrier function MI. Here, we show that inducible, adult endothelial-specific deletion of Hif2α mice leads to increased mortality, leakage, inflammation, reduced heart function, adverse remodeling after In parallel, human (HCMVECs) lacking HIF2α display impaired integrity, tight-junction...
Long gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) is a rare congenital malformation. Magnamosis represents minimally invasive technique for LGEA to achieve recanalization feeding. Few cases had been reported worldwide. An infant was diagnosed as by using prenatal ultrasound imaging including the absence of gastric bubble and polyhydramnios. confirmed after birth esophagography through gastrostomy esophagus simultaneously. Laparoscopic performed on 3rd day obtain nutrition. The prolonged from proximal...

Abstract Recent genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have reported multiple genetic variations at 5p15.33 ( TERT‐CLPTM1L ) associated with risk of lung cancer. However, most the identified by GWAS thus far are unlikely to be actual causal variants, but may mostly marker‐single nucleotide polymorphisms tagging functional that influence gene expression. This study aimed explore function‐validated and potentially in locus conferring susceptibility A case–control including 502 cases controls...
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of nonprotein coding transcripts that play critical role in cancer progression. However, the lncRNA metformin-induced inhibition cell growth and its biological function gastric remain largely unknown. In this study, we identified an oncogenic lncRNA, Loc100506691, expression which was decreased cells with metformin treatment. Moreover, Loc100506691 significantly overexpressed compared adjacent normal tissues (p < 0.001), high correlated poor survival...
Summary Despite recent progress in the ability to manipulate genomes of eukaryotic cells 1–3 , there is still no effective and practical method precisely integrate large synthetic DNA constructs into desired chromosomal sites using a programmable integrase. Serine integrases can perform necessary molecular steps 4 but only if their natural target site first installed recipient genome by other methods. A more elegant approach would be directly reprogram serine integrase itself endogenous that...
