Abstract Nacre, the iridescent material found in pearls and shells of molluscs, is formed through an extraordinary process matrix-assisted biomineralization. Despite recent advances, many aspects biomineralization its evolutionary origin remain unknown. The pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii a well-known master biomineralization, but molecular mechanisms that underlie production are not fully understood. We sequenced highly polymorphic genome conducted multi-omic biochemical studies to...
Recent studies demonstrated that the mammalian heart possesses some capacity to proliferate. We observed cardiomyocyte proliferation within 4 weeks of age (P4W) in rats. found 95 microRNAs are differentially expressed P4W cardiomyocytes. MicroRNA‐29a was among most highly up‐regulated Overexpression microRNA‐29a suppressed H9c2 cell line. inhibition induced cardiomyocytes proliferate, accelerated G1/S and G2/M transition, cycle gene expression. Cyclin D2 (CCND2) identified as a direct target...
Abstract Background Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are among the oldest and most conserved transmembrane involved in signal transduction. Despite prevalence significance of cholinergic signaling, diversity evolution nAChRs not fully understood. Result By comparative genomic analysis, we found massive expansions nAChR genes molluscs some other lophotrochozoans. The expansion is particularly pronounced stationary bivalve with simple nervous systems, number ranging from 99 to 217...
Biomineralization-controlled exo-/endoskeleton growth contributes to body and size diversity. Molluscan shells undergo ectopic biomineralization form the exoskeleton biocalcified "pearl" involved in invading defence. Notably, exo-/endoskeletons have a common ancestral origin, but their regulation are largely unknown. This study employed pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata marntensii, widely used experimental model for invertebrates, perform whole-genome resequencing of 878 individuals from wild...
<i>Background:</i> MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in cardiovascular research. However, the association between miRNAs heart remodeling/reverse remodeling has not been evaluated. <i>Methods:</i> Lewis rats were divided into three groups: control animals, animals subjected to abdominal aortic constriction (AAC) those with heterotopic transplantation of (AAC-HT), respectively. The cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area...
miR-29a is a conserved miRNA that participates in bone formation and immune response vertebrates. of Pinctada martensii (Pm-miR-29a) was identified the previous research though deep sequencing. In this report, precise sequence mature Pm-miR-29a validated using rapid amplification cDNA ends (miR-RACE) technology. The precursor predicted to have 87 bp. Stem loop qRT-PCR analysis showed easily detected all tissues, although expressions mantle gill were low. microstructure disrupted growth nacre...
Heterosis improves growth and survival of shellfish species. Although breeders have widely exploited heterosis, its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, a 2 × complete diallel cross was facilitated between two full-sib families to produce inbred (A D) their reciprocal hybrid (B C) pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii. Growth traits the four were compared at adult stages. Transcriptome analysis conducted on using an Illumina sequencing platform. The results...
