Abstract Plant spermatogenesis is a complex process that directly affects crop breeding. A rapid change in gene abundance occurs at early meiosis prophase, when regulation selective. However, how these genes are regulated remains unknown. Here, we show rice reproductive phasiRNAs essential for the elimination of specific set RNAs during meiotic prophase I. These cleave target mRNAs regulatory manner such one phasiRNA can more than gene, and/or single be targeted by to efficiently silence...

Abstract Up to 80% of the human genome produces “dark matter” RNAs, most which are noncapped RNAs (napRNAs) that frequently act as noncoding (ncRNAs) modulate gene expression. Here, by developing a method, NAP-seq, globally profile full-length sequences napRNAs with various terminal modifications at single-nucleotide resolution, we reveal diverse classes structured ncRNAs. We discover stably expressed linear intron (sliRNAs), class snoRNA-intron (snotrons), embedded in miRNA spacers...

Polypeptides encoded by long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a novel class of functional molecules. However, whether these hidden polypeptides participate in the TP53 pathway and play significant biological role is still unclear. Here, we discover that TP53-regulated lncRNAs can encode peptides, two which various human cell lines. Using ribosome profiling RNA-seq approaches HepG2 cells, systematically identified more than 300 further confirmed 15 peptides. Furthermore, several peptides were...

Abstract Aim To determine the effect of osteopontin (OPN) on autophagy and autophagy‐apoptosis interactions after SAH. Methods The endovascular perforation model SAH or sham surgery was performed in a total 86 Sprague‐Dawley male rats. temporal expressions endogenous OPN autophagy‐related proteins (Beclin 1, ATG5, LC3 II to I ratio) were measured rats at different time points (3, 6, 12, 24, 72 hours). Rats randomly divided into three groups: Sham, + Vehicle (PBS, phosphate‐buffered saline),...

Rationale: Despite substantial advancement in the treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), it remains a leading cause cancer mortality children due to high relapse rate. Moreover, long-term survival rates for adult B-ALL patients are still less than 40%. The carrying MLL rearrangements or BCR-ABL fusion represent high-risk subtypes that face particularly dismal prognoses. This study aims identify innovative therapeutic vulnerability B-ALL.

Current immunotherapies have shown limited success in treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) due to immune evasion, which often stems from epigenetic dysregulation of immune-related pathways. TET2, a well-studied DNA 5-methylcytosine dioxygenase, is frequently mutated and recognized as tumor suppressor AML. While TET2 deficiency hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) has been associated with elevated inflammation, also reported promote inflammatory interferon (IFN) signaling solid...

The Drosophila embryonic gonad is assembled from two distinct cell types, the Primordial Germ Cells (PGCs) and Somatic Gonadal Precursor cells (SGPs). PGCs form at posterior of blastoderm stage embryos are subsequently carried inside embryo during gastrulation. To reach SGPs, must traverse midgut wall then migrate through mesoderm. A combination local repulsive cues attractive signals emanating SGPs guide migration. We have investigated role hedgehog (hh) pathway gene shifted (shf) in...
