Article Abstract

In the post-genomic era, many useful tools have been developed to accelerate the investigation of gene functions. Fluorescent proteins have been widely used as protein tags for studying the subcellular localization of proteins in plants. Several fluorescent organelle marker lines have been generated in dicot plants; however, useful and reliable fluorescent organelle marker lines are lacking in the monocot model rice. Here, we developed eight different GFP-based organelle markers in transgenic rice and created a set of DsRed-based gateway vectors for combining with the marker lines. Two mitochondrial-localized rice ascorbate peroxidase genes fused to DsRed and successfully co-localized with mitochondrial-targeted marker lines verified the practical use of this system. The co-localization of GFP-fusion marker lines and DsRed-fusion proteins provide a convenient platform for in vivo or in vitro analysis of subcellular localization of rice proteins.

Accurate identification of tumor-specific markers is vital for developing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-based therapies. While cell surface antigens are seldom cancer-restricted, their post-translational modifications (PTMs), particularly aberrant carbohydrate structures, offer attractive alternatives. Among these, the sialyl-Tn (STn) antigen stands out for its prevalent presence in various epithelial tumors.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a hereditary infiltrative cardiomyopathy characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium, which may extend to the left ventricle in the advanced stages. Clinically, the condition is commonly associated with right ventricular dilation, malignant arrhythmias, and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. In this study, we successfully established induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of ARVC patients carrying a heterozygous LMNA gene mutation (c.

Purpose: Calumenin (CALU) is a calcium-binding protein involved in several physiological processes, exhibiting tumor-specific expression variation and emerging as a potential player in cancer progression. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between CALU and clinicopathological features in breast cancer (BC) and perform a functional assessment of CALU based on a microRNA-mediated knockdown approach.

Methods: The BC tissues' CALU expression was measured by q-RT-PCR.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify breast cancer-specific circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) methylation markers that correspond to tissue DNA methylation.

Methods: Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we selected breast cancer-specific DNA methylation markers. The methylation and expression patterns of candidate genes were analyzed in breast cancer cell lines and tissue samples.

Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a critical contributor of renal fibrosis in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Asiatic acid (AA), a natural triterpenoid compound, exhibits notable endothelial protective and anti-fibrotic properties; however, its impact on EndMT in DKD remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of AA against EndMT in DKD and the underlying mechanisms.
