Maintenance of a genome requires DNA repair integrated with chromatin remodeling. We have analyzed six transcriptome data sets and one set on translational regulation known remodeling genes in synchronized human cells. These are available through our new database: www.dnarepairgenes.com. Genes that similar transcription profiles at least two generally agree well protein profiles. In brief, long patch base excision (BER) is enriched for S phase genes, whereas short BER uses essentially...
Genome-wide gene expression analyses of the human somatic cell cycle have indicated that set cycling genes differ between primary and cancer cells. By identifying dependent in HaCaT keratinocytes comparing these with previously identified genes, we three distinct groups genes.

UNG is the major uracil-DNA glycosylase in mammalian cells and involved both error-free base excision repair of genomic uracil mutagenic uracil-processing at antibody genes. However, regulation these different processes currently not well understood. The gene encodes two isoforms, UNG1 UNG2, each possessing unique N-termini that mediate translocation to mitochondria nucleus, respectively. A strict subcellular localization isoform has been widely accepted despite a lack models study them...
Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable cancer of terminally differentiated plasma cells that proliferate in the bone marrow. miRNAs are promising biomarkers for risk stratification MM and several shown to have a function disease pathogenesis. However, date, surprisingly few miRNA-mRNA interactions been described functionally validated MM.

Kisspeptin regulates puberty and reproduction onset, acting upstream of the brain–pituitary–gonad (HPG) axis. This study aimed to test a kisspeptin-based hormonal therapy on cultured Senegalese sole (G1) breeders, known have reproductive dysfunctions. A single intramuscular injection KISS2-10 decapeptide (250 µg/kg) was tested in females males during season, gonad maturation, sperm motility, plasma levels gonadotropins (Fsh Lh) sex steroids (11-ketotestosterone, testosterone estradiol), as...
Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) presents significant challenges in clinical management due to its heterogeneity and variable response treatment. In this study, we conducted comprehensive small RNA (sRNA) sequencing analyses identify sRNA biomarkers associated with survival treatment mCRC patients. We measured serum sRNAs before after chemotherapy a discovery cohort of 189 Our analysis revealed 25 microRNAs (miRNA) as significantly overall at baseline. found that 11 the miRNAs were also...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are promising prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers due to their high stability in blood. Here we investigate the expression of miRNAs other noncoding (nc) RNAs serum rectal cancer patients. Serum from 96 patients was profiled using small RNA sequencing correlated with clinicopathological characteristics Multiple classes were detected, including fragments tRNAs, snoRNAs, long ncRNAs, RNAs. Several miRNAs, miRNA variants (isomiRs) ncRNAs differentially expressed between...
In vertebrates, the somatotropic axis comprising pituitary gland, liver and muscle plays a major role in myogenesis.Its output terms of growth is highly affected by nutritional environmental cues, thus likely epigenetically regulated.Hydroxymethylation emerging as DNA modification that modulates gene expression but holistic characterization hydroxymethylome has not been investigated to date.Using reduced representation 5-hydroxymethylcytosine profiling we demonstrate tissuespecific...
Interleukin-32 (IL-32) is a nonclassical cytokine expressed in cancers, inflammatory diseases, and infections. Its expression regulated by two different oxygen sensing systems; HIF1α cysteamine dioxygenase (ADO), indicating that IL-32 may be involved the response to hypoxia. We here demonstrate endogenously expressed, intracellular interacts with components of mitochondrial respiratory chain promotes oxidative phosphorylation. Knocking out three myeloma cell lines reduced survival...
DNA methylation is one of the main epigenetic mechanisms that regulate gene expression in a manner depends on genomic context and varies considerably across taxa. This modification was first found nuclear genomes eukaryote several decades ago it has also been described mitochondrial DNA. It recently shown extensively methylated mammals other vertebrates. Our current knowledge fish very limited, especially non-model teleosts. In this study, using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, we...
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological cancer characterized by accumulation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. The patients are immune suppressed and suffer from recurrent chronic infections. Interleukin-32 non-conventional, pro-inflammatory cytokine expressed subgroup MM with poor prognosis. IL-32 has also been shown to promote proliferation survival cells. Here we show that activation toll-like receptors (TLRs) promotes expression through NFκB activation. In patient-derived...
Improved transcriptomic sequencing technologies now make it possible to perform longitudinal experiments, thus generating a large amount of data. Currently, there are no dedicated or comprehensive methods for the analysis these experiments. In this article, we describe our TimeSeries Analysis pipeline (TiSA) which combines differential gene expression, clustering based on recursive thresholding, and functional enrichment analysis. Differential expression is performed both temporal...
Infections are common in plasma cell cancer multiple myeloma (MM) due to disease-related immune deficiencies and treatment.
