Article Abstract
The 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of the dengue virus (DENV) genome contain several sequences required for translation, replication and cyclization processes. This region also binds cellular proteins such as La, polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB), Y box-binding protein 1, poly(A)-binding protein and the translation initiation factor eEF-1 alpha. PTB is a cellular protein that interacts with the regulatory sequences of positive-strand RNA viruses such as several picornaviruses and hepatitis C virus. In the present report, it was demonstrated that PTB translocates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm during DENV infection. At 48 h post-infection, PTB, as well as the DENV proteins NS1 and NS3, were found to co-localize with the endoplasmic reticulum marker calnexin. Silencing of PTB expression inhibited virus translation and replication, whilst overexpression of PTB augmented these processes. Thus, these results provide evidence that, during infection, PTB moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and plays an important role in the DENV replicative cycle.

Alternative Splicing of the NMDA Receptor Subunit GluN1 Mediated by Polypyrimidine Tract-Binding Protein Dimerization in the Trigeminal Ganglion Contributes to Orofacial Allodynia.

Orofacial neuropathic pain, a debilitating condition associated with trigeminal nerve injury, is often characterized by allodynia. N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), particularly the GluN1 subunit, play a central role in mediating this pain. The GluN1 subunit undergoes alternative splicing at exon 5, generating isoforms GluN1a (lacking the exon 5-encoded N1 cassette) and GluN1b (retaining the N1 cassette), which have distinct functional roles.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive type of primary intracranial tumor. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are closely related to the malignant progression of GBM. Elevated levels of Circular RNA hsa_circ_0002346 (circCRIM1) significantly correlate with tumor growth, metastasis, and poor prognosis, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for cancer diagnosis and treatment response.

A growing body of evidence suggests that tissue-specific lncRNAs play pivotal roles in the heart. Here, we exploit the synteny between the mouse and human genomes to identify the human lncRNA HSCHARME and combine single-cell transcriptomics, CAGE-seq data, RNA-FISH imaging and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to document its role in cardiomyogenesis. By investigating the mechanism of action of HSCHARME in hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, we report that the locus produces the major pCHARME isoform that associates with SC35-containing speckles and interacts with the splicing regulator PTBP1.

Background: Increased proliferation and migration of abnormal airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) are significantly associated with asthma. This study aimed to investigate the effects of methyltransferase-like 14 (), YTH domain-containing family Protein 1 (), and polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 () on platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB)-treated ASMCs.
Methods: ASMCs were treated with PDGF-BB to mimic cell remodeling.

Background: Mandibulofacial dysostosis (MFD) is a congenital disorder characterized by defects in facial bones of neural crest origin. Nager syndrome combines many features of MFD with limb defects. Mutations in SF3B4, a gene located on chromosome 1 that encodes a protein of the spliceosome, were identified as a cause for Nager syndrome in approximately 60% of patients.
