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.

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...

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...

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.

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...
