Deep sequencing studies frequently identify small RNA fragments of abundant RNAs. These are thought to represent degradation products their precursors. Using sequencing, computational analysis, and sensitive northern blot assays, we show that constitutively expressed non-coding RNAs such as tRNAs, snoRNAs, rRNAs snRNAs preferentially produce 5′ 3′ end fragments. Similar microRNA processing, these terminal generated in an asymmetric manner predominantly favors either the or end....

The continuing discoveries of potentially active small RNAs at an unprecedented rate using high-throughput sequencing have raised the need for methods that can reliably detect and quantitate expression levels RNAs. Currently, northern blot is most widely used method validating are identified by such as sequencing. We describe a new blot-based protocol (LED) RNA (approximately 15-40 bases) detection digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled oligonucleotide probes containing locked nucleic acids (LNA)...

A facile and efficient method for the precise editing of large viral genomes is required selection attenuated vaccine strains construction gene therapy vectors. The type II prokaryotic CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated (Cas)) RNA-guided nuclease system can be introduced into host cells during replication. CRISPR-Cas9 robustly stimulates targeted double-stranded breaks in DNA viruses, where non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)...

Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal malignancy. Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators in pathological processes, yet their potential roles PDAC poorly understood. Here, we identify fundamental role for novel lincRNA, linc00511, the progression of PDAC. Linc00511 levels tissue specimens and cell lines were examined by quantitative real‐time PCR. Corresponding adjacent non‐neoplastic tissues used as controls. The function linc00511 was determined RNA...

Metastasis is the main cause of death in patients with advanced lung cancer. The exosomes released by cancer cells create tumor microenvironment, and then accelerate metastasis. Cancer-derived are considered to be driving force for metastasis niche formation at foreign sites, but mechanism Non-small cell carcinoma (NSCLC) unclear. In metastatic NSCLC patients, expression level miR-3157-3p circulating was significantly higher than that non-metastatic patients. Here, we found can transferred...

Lymph node (LN) metastasis occurs frequently in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and predicts poor prognosis for patients. The KRASG12D mutation confers an aggressive PDAC phenotype that is susceptible to lymphatic dissemination. However, the regulatory mechanism underlying mutation-driven LN remains unclear. Herein, we found with (KRASG12D PDAC) sustained extracellular vesicle-mediated (EV-mediated) transmission of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNPA1) a...

Hepatitis C Virus core protein (HCVc) plays important roles in the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to tumor progression by interacting with downstream target genes. However, regulation and role miRNAs HCV‐related (HCV‐ICC) is poorly understood.

Myelination of the central nervous system (CNS) is critical to vertebrate systems for efficient neural signaling. CNS myelination occurs as oligodendrocytes terminally differentiate, a process regulated in part by myelin regulatory factor, MYRF. Using bioinformatics and extensive biochemical functional assays, we find that MYRF generated an integral membrane protein must be processed release its transcription factor domain from membrane. In contrast most membrane-bound factors, proteolysis...
