A global concern has emerged with the pandemic spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) infections that can cause severe neurological symptoms in adults and newborns. ZIKV is a positive-strand RNA replicating virus-induced membranous replication factories (RFs). Here we used various imaging techniques to investigate ultrastructural details RFs their relationship host cell organelles. Analyses human hepatic cells neural progenitor infected revealed endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane invaginations...
Stress granules (SGs) are formed in the cytosol as an acute response to environmental cues and activation of integrated stress (ISR), a central signaling pathway controlling protein synthesis. Using chronic virus infection model, we previously uncovered unique temporal control ISR resulting recurrent phases SG assembly disassembly. Here, elucidate molecular network generating this fluctuating by integrating quantitative experiments with mathematical modeling find that operates stochastic...
Adaptation of the chemotaxis sensory pathway bacterium Escherichia coli is integral for detecting chemicals over a wide range background concentrations, ultimately allowing cells to swim towards sources attractant and away from repellents. Its biochemical mechanism based on methylation demethylation chemoreceptors has long been known. Despite importance adaptation cell memory behavior, dynamics are difficult reconcile with current models precise adaptation. Here, we follow time courses...
The microRNA (miRNA) landscape changes during the progression of cancer. We defined a metastasis-associated miRNA using systematic approach. profiled and validated mRNA expression in unique series human colorectal metastasis tissues together with their matched primary tumors corresponding normal tissues. identified an exclusive signature that is differentially expressed metastases. Three these miRNAs were as key drivers EMT-regulating network acting though number novel targets. These targets...

Abstract In the present work we studied, by chemiluminescence measurements, influence of lead on production reactive oxygen species (ROS) in haemolysates obtained from human erythrocytes incubated presence different concentrations acetate. Moreover, evaluated modification proteins and lipids erythrocyte lymphocyte membranes using fluorescence probes N ‐(1‐pyrene)maleimide (PM), laurdan pyrene. No significant changes were detected for with 1–10 µM acetate 3 h at 37 °C. By increasing...
Abstract Distant metastasis is the major determinant of patient outcome in colorectal cancer. By systematically analysing miR expression profiles resected metastasis-, corresponding primary tumor and normal tissues cancer patients, we were able to delineate a miR-signature indicative metastatically critical microRNA landscape. This “hot list” miRNAs, including established metastasis-related miRs like miR-34- let -7 families, as well rather novel miR-candidates miR-552, -218, -135, -210 -654,...
Members of the Flavivirus genus rely extensively on host cell endomembrane network to generate complex membranous replication organelles (ROs) that facilitate viral genome and production virus particles. For dengue Zika virus, these ROs included vesicles which are formed through membrane invagination into endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen, termed invaginated or vesicle packets (VPs), as well large areas bundled smooth ER, convoluted membranes. Though morphology virus-induced structures has...
Abstract We propose a novel approach for the detection of small non-coding RNAs in cells by Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM). describe modified and upgraded SMLM-setup apply this instrument first proof-of-principle concept to human cancer cell lines. Our method is able visualize single microRNA molecules fixed with localization accuracy 10-15 nm, quantify numbers analyse clustering particular subcellular sites, including exosomes. compared metastatic-site derived primary site...
