Reduction in daily activity leads to dramatic metabolic disorders, while regular aerobic exercise training is effective for preventing this problem. The purpose of study was identify genes that are directly related contractile human skeletal muscle, regardless the level fitness. Transcriptome changes after one-legged knee extension exercised and contralateral nonexercised vastus lateralis muscle seven men were evaluated by RNA-seq. change at baseline 2 mo (5/wk, 1 h/day) as well....
Opportunistic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and epidermidis often form rigid biofilms on tissues inorganic surfaces. In the biofilm bacterial cells are embedded in a self-produced polysaccharide matrix thereby inaccessible to biocides, antibiotics, or host immune system. Here we show antibacterial activity of newly synthesized cationic quaternary ammonium, bisphosphonium salts pyridoxine (vitamin B6) against biofilm-embedded Staphylococci. The derivatives 6-hydroxymethylpyridoxine were...
Abstract Background More than half of human protein-coding genes have an alternative transcription start site (TSS). We aimed to investigate the contribution TSSs acute-stress-induced transcriptome response in tissue (skeletal muscle) using cap analysis gene expression approach. were examined at baseline and during recovery after acute stress (a cycling exercise).

The study of molecular mechanisms regeneration requires convenient models for in vitro and vivo studies. In cell cultures can fulfill such a function. However, their rapid aging loss initial specific properties culture is significant limitation use. Telomerase expression help to overcome these limitations: it prolong proliferative activity stabilize the primary culture. Here, we created studied human adipose tissue multipotent mesenchymal stromal (MSC) that overexpress catalytic protein...
Abstract Regular low intensity aerobic exercise (aerobic training) provides effective protection against various metabolic disorders. Here, the roles played by transient transcriptome responses to acute and changes in baseline gene expression during up-regulation of protein content human skeletal muscle were investigated after 2 months training. Seven untrained males involved a month cycling training program. Mass-spectrometry RNA sequencing used evaluate proteome exercise. We found that...
Three-day dry immersion (a model of physical unloading) substantially changes the transcriptomic profile in human soleus muscle, a muscle with predominantly slow-twitch fibers and strong postural function; despite this, we found no effect on proteome (highly abundant proteins). Dry markedly reduces ADP-stimulated respiration; this decline is not accompanied by decrease content mitochondrial proteins/respiratory enzymes, indicating disruption regulation cellular respiration.
Abstract Non-biting midges (Chironomidae) are known to inhabit a wide range of environments, and certain species can tolerate extreme conditions, where the rest insects cannot survive. In particular, sleeping chironomid Polypedilum vanderplanki is for remarkable ability its larvae withstand almost complete desiccation by entering state called anhydrobiosis. Chromosome numbers in chironomids higher than other dipterans this extra genomic resource might facilitate rapid adaptation novel...
We showed previously that inhibition of KIT signaling in GISTs activates FGFR-signaling pathway rendering cancer cells resistant to receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (RTKi) imatinib mesylate (IM) (Gleevec) despite absence secondary mutations and thereby illustrating a rationale for the combined (e.g., KIT- FGFR-targeted) therapies. show here long-term culture IM-resistant (GIST-R1) with IM substantially down-regulates expression induces activation cascade, evidenced by increased total...

These more than well-known Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. Although these share about 94% identity, promoter demonstrated stronger transient expression a reporter gene in Agrobacterium...
The ability to regulate oxygen consumption evolved in ancestral animals and is intrinsically linked iron metabolism. pathways have been intensively studied mammals, whereas data on distant invertebrates are limited. Sea sponges represent the oldest animal phylum unique structural plasticity capacity reaggregate after complete dissociation. We metabolic factors their expression during reaggregation White cold-water Halichondria panicea Halisarca dujardini. De novo transcriptomes were...
Ferritins comprise a conservative family of proteins found in all species and play an essential role resistance to redox stress, immune response, cell differentiation. Sponges (Porifera) are the oldest Metazoa that show unique plasticity regenerative potential. Here, we characterize ferritins two cold-water sponges using proteomics, spectral microscopy, bioinformatic analysis. The recently duplicated HdF1a/b atypical HdF2 genes were Halisarca dujardini genome. Multiple related transcripts...
Abstract Organization and functioning of immune system remain unevenly studied in different taxa lophotrochozoan animals. We analyzed transcriptomic data on coelomocytes the lugworm Arenicola marina (Linnaeus, 1758; Annelida, Polychaeta) to gain insights into molecular mechanisms involved polychaete immunity. Coelomocytes are specialized motile cells populating coelomic fluid annelids, responsible for cellular defense reactions providing humoral factors. The transcriptome was enriched with...
The development of craniofacial skeletal structures is fascinatingly complex and elucidation the underlying mechanisms will not only provide novel scientific insights, but also help develop more effective clinical approaches to treatment and/or prevention numerous congenital malformations. To this end, we performed a genome-wide analysis RNA transcription from non-coding regulatory elements by CAGE-sequencing facial mesenchyme human embryos cross-checked active enhancers thus identified...

Abstract Mice enter an active hypometabolic state, called daily torpor when they experience a lowered caloric intake under cold ambient temperature. During torpor, the oxygen consumption rate in some animals drops to less than 30% of normal without harming body. This safe but severe reduction metabolism is attractive for various clinical applications; however, mechanism and molecules involved are unclear. Therefore, here we systematically analyzed gene expression landscape on level RNA...
