Actinomycetes are important organisms for the biosynthesis of valuable natural products. However, only a limited number well-characterized native constitutive promoters from actinomycetes available construction and engineering large biochemical pathways. Here, we report discovery characterization 32 candidate identified Streptomyces albus J1074 by RNA-seq analysis. These were cloned characterized using streptomycete reporter gene, xylE, encoding catechol 2,3-dioxygenase. The strengths strong...

More evidence is emerging of the roles long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play as regulatory factors in a variety biological processes, but mechanisms underlying function lncRNAs acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have not been explicitly delineated. The present study identified lncRNA 2810403D21Rik/AK007586/Mirf (myocardial infarction-regulatory factor), that inhibited macroautophagy/autophagy by modulating Mir26a (microRNA 26a). Inhibition led to cardiac injury both vitro and vivo, whereas...

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a devastating cardiovascular disease with high rate of morbidity and mortality, partly due to enhanced arrhythmogenicity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown participate in the regulation cardiac ion channels associated arrhythmias. The purpose this study was test our hypothesis that miR-223-3p contributes electrical disorders AMI via modulating KCND2, gene encoding voltage-gated channel Kv4.2 carries transient outward K+ current Ito.AMI model established...

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a critical biological process involved in many important processes, and defects PCD have been linked with numerous human diseases. In recent years, the protein architecture different subroutines has explored, but our understanding of global network organization noncoding RNA (ncRNA)-mediated system limited ambiguous. Hence, we developed comprehensive bioinformatics resource (ncRDeathDB, www.rna-society.org/ncrdeathdb ) to archive ncRNA-associated interactions....

Abstract Berberine (BBR) is a natural isoquinoline alkaloid, which used in traditional medicine for its anti‐microbial, anti‐protozoal, anti‐diarrhoeal activities. interacts with DNA and displays anti‐cancer activities, yet effects on cellular repair synthetic treatments chemotherapeutic drugs remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the of BBR sensitization breast cancer cells to different types damage anti‐tumoural drugs. We found arrested cell cycle S phase induced breaks. Cell...

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a protective for brain safety, but it also major obstacle to the delivery of drugs cerebral parenchyma such as hippocampus, hindering treatment central nervous system diseases Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this work, an anti-AD brain-targeted nanodrug by co-loading icariin (ICA) and tanshinone IIA (TSIIA) into Aniopep-2-modified long-circulating (Ang2-ICA/TSIIA) liposomes was developed. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) receptor...

Abstract Background Atherosclerosis preferentially develops in regions of disturbed flow (DF). Emerging evidence indicates that yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ), which are both effectors the Hippo pathway, sense different blood patterns regulate atherosclerotic lesions. We previously found methotrexate (MTX) reduces in-stent neoatherosclerosis, decreases plaque burden, has an effect on local fluid shear stress. Here, we investigated...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play vital roles in the metastasis and invasion of cancer cells. Systematic analysis ovarian (OvCa) expression profiles suggests that deregulation lncRNA AC004988.1, designated promoting transition-associated (PTAL), is involved OvCa progression. However, underlying mechanism PTAL remains unknown. In this study, we showed was significantly upregulated mesenchymal subtype samples compared with epithelial from TCGA serous datasets. positively correlated...

Glioma is the most common and deadly primary malignant tumor in adults. Treatment outcomes are ungratified due to presence of blood-brain barrier (BBB), glioma stem cells (GSCs) multidrug resistance (MDR). Docetaxel (DTX) considered as a potential drug for treatment brain tumor, but its effectiveness limited by low bioavailability resistance. Tetrandrine (TET) reverses chemotherapy drugs. Borneol (BO) modified micelles has been shown promote DTX plus TET cross BBB, allowing better act on...
