LncRNA-SNHG16 promotes proliferation and migration of acute myeloid leukemia cells via PTEN/PI3K/AKT axis through suppressing CELF2 protein
The silence of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) suppressed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell proliferation and migration, whereas its role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) still lacks clarity...

β-Actin facilitates etoposide-induced p53 nuclear import
As a tumor suppressor, p53 preserves genomic integrity in eukaryotes. However, limited evidence is available for the p53 shuttling between the cytoplasm and nucleus. Previous studies have shown that β-actin po...

Down-regulation of microRNA-216a confers protection against yttrium aluminium garnet laser-induced retinal injury via the GDNF-mediated GDNF/GFRα1/RET signalling pathway
Retinal injury plays a leading role in the onset of visual impairment. Current forms of treatment are not able to ameliorate scarring, cell death and tissue and axon regeneration. Recently, microRNA-216a (miR-...

miR-200a-3p promotes β-Amyloid-induced neuronal apoptosis through down-regulation of SIRT1 in Alzheimer’s disease
The aberrantly expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) including miR-200a-3p have been reported in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients in recent researches. Nevertheless, the role of miR-200a-3p in AD has not...

Genetic diagnosis of a Chinese multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A family through whole genome sequencing
Approximately 98% of patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN 2A) have an identifiable RET mutation. Prophylactic or early total thyroidectomy or pheochromocytoma/parathyroid removal in patients ca...

Human cytomegalovirus-encoded miR-US4-1 promotes cell apoptosis and benefits discharge of infectious virus particles by targeting QARS
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can cause congenital diseases and opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals. Its functional proteins and microRNAs (miRNAs) facilitate efficie...

Host protein Snapin interacts with human cytomegalovirus pUL130 and affects viral DNA replication
The interplay between the host and Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) plays a pivotal role in the outcome of an infection. HCMV growth in endothelial and epithelial cells requires expression of viral proteins UL128, UL...

The rare intracellular RET mutation p.S891A in a Chinese Han family with familial medullary thyroid carcinoma
We report intracellular RET mutation in a Han Chinese pedigree with familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC). Direct sequencing of RET proto-oncogene identified a missense c.2671T>G (p.S891A) mutation in 6 of ...

Down-regulation of human cytomegalovirus UL138, a novel latency-associated determinant, by hcmv-miR-UL36
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs, 19–23 nucleotides in length, which regulate a variety of cellular processes. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes only one intronic miRNA: human cytomegalovirus microRNA UL36...

Fluorescent tag is not a reliable marker for small RNA transfection in the presence of serum
Chemically synthetic siRNA and miRNA have become powerful tools to study gene function in the past decade. Fluorescent dyes covalently attached to the 5′ or 3′ ends of synthetic small RNAs are widely used for ...

Functional analyses of a flavonol synthase–like gene from Camellia nitidissima reveal its roles in flavonoid metabolism during floral pigmentation
The flavonoids metabolic pathway plays central roles in floral coloration, in which anthocyanins and flavonols are derived from common precursors, dihydroflavonols. Flavonol synthase (FLS) catalyses dihydrofla...

Overlap** transcription structure of human cytomegalovirus UL140 and UL141 genes
Transcription of human cytomegalovirus UL/b′ region has been studied extensively for some genes. In this study, transcripts of the UL140 and UL141, two of the UL/b′ genes, were identified in late RNAs of three...

Molecular cytogenetic identification of a novel dwarf wheat line with introgressed Thinopyrum ponticum chromatin
Novel dwarfing germplasms and dwarfing genes are valuable for the wheat breeding. A novel semi-dwarf line, 31505-1, with reduced height compared with its common wheat parent, was derived from a cross between c...

Transcription pattern of UL131A-128 mRNA in clinical strains of human cytomegalovirus
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) mRNA was obtained from human embryonic lung fibroblast cells infected by HCMV clinical strains from urine samples of infants at different kinetic periods. The cDNA of UL131A-128 mRNAs...
