Artemisin combination therapy (ACT) is the main treatment option for malaria, which caused by intracellular parasite Plasmodium. However, increased resistance to ACT highlights importance of finding new drugs. Recently, aspartic proteases Plasmepsin IX and X (PMIX PMX) were identified as promising drug targets. In this study, we describe dual inhibitors PMIX PMX, including WM382, that block multiple stages Plasmodium life cycle. We demonstrate PMX a master modulator merozoite invasion direct...

The three-dimensional architecture of the genome affects genomic functions. Multiple architectures at different length scales, including chromatin loops, domains, compartments, and lamina- nucleolus-associated regions, have been discovered. However, how these structures are arranged in same cell they mutually correlated types mammalian tissue largely unknown. Here, we develop Multiplexed Imaging Nucleome Architectures that measures multiscale folding, copy numbers numerous RNA species,...

The subcellular localization of mRNAs plays a pivotal role in biological processes, including cell migration. For instance, β-actin mRNA and its associated RNA-binding protein (RBP), ZBP1/IGF2BP1, are recruited to focal adhesions (FAs) support localized synthesis, crucial for However, whether other RBPs also localize at FAs remains unclear. Here, we identify hundreds that enriched (FA-mRNAs). FA-mRNAs share characteristics with stress granule (SG) found ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes the...

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a powerful method to visualize the spatial positions of specific genomic loci and RNA species. Recent technological advances have leveraged FISH these features highly multiplexed manner. Notable examples include chromatin tracing, error-robust (MERFISH), imaging nucleome architectures (MINA), sequential single-molecule FISH. However, one obstacle broad adoption methods complexity probe design. In this paper, we introduce an easy-to-use, versatile,...

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) genome organization becomes altered during development, aging, and disease 1–23 , but the factors regulating chromatin topology are incompletely understood currently no technology can efficiently screen for new regulators of multiscale organization. Here, we developed an image-based high-content screening platform (Perturb-tracing) that combines pooled CRISPR screen, a cellular barcode readout method (BARC-FISH), tracing. We performed loss-of-function in human...

Abstract Background Topologically associating domains (TADs) are important building blocks of three-dimensional genome architectures. The formation TADs has been shown to depend on cohesin in a loop-extrusion mechanism. Recently, advances an image-based spatial genomics technique known as chromatin tracing lead the discovery cohesin-independent TAD-like structures, also single-cell domains, which highly variant self-interacting with boundaries that occasionally overlap TAD but tend differ...

Mushroom derived phytochemical has become the promising agent to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Here, we investigated effect of flavonoids from Agrocybe aegirita (AAF) on dextran sodium sulfate‐induced colitis. Our results showed that had a certain physical signs in mice (improving weight loss mice, reducing DAI index and spleen mice). AAF could also significantly reduce shortening colon, improve level tissue damage colon inflammation. Besides, alleviate status including levels...

Abstract Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can progress to the more serious non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), characterized by inflammatory injury and fibrosis. The pathogenic basis of NAFLD progressing NASH is currently unknown, but growing evidence suggests MD2 (myeloid differentiation factor 2), an accessory protein TLR4, important signalling component contributing this disease. We evaluated effectiveness specific inhibitor, L6H21, in reducing a relevant high‐fat diet (HFD)...
