Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) belongs to the Circoviridae family, which has a relatively simple replication mechanism. As BFDV lacks a mature cell culture system, a novel mini-replicon system based on the reporter plasmid that contains the origin of replication, which can bind to the Rep protein expressed from another plasmid and thus trigger its replication and induce/increase luminescence was developed. The dual-luciferase assay was used in this system to measure replicative efficiency by comparing relative light units (RLU) of firefly luciferase...

Orf147, a cytotoxic peptide, has been found to cause cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in Cajanus cajanifolius (pigeonpea). In our study, Orf147 was introduced into self-pollinating Cicer arietinum (chickpea) using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation for induction of CMS. The stable integration and expression of the transgene has been assessed through PCR and qRT-PCR analysis. In addition, phenotypic sterility analysis has been performed, considering developmental parameters like flower development, pod formation and flower drop...

Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a skin condition characterized by excessive fibrosis with disordered collagens from skin fibroblasts, which causes abnormal esthetic and even functional symptoms, thereby affecting millions of people. Ursolic acid (UA) is widely used in skincare and exerts anti-fibrotic effects. The present study aimed to delve into the impact of UA on HS and the mechanism. Fibroblasts (FBs) were incubated with TGF-β to investigate physiological characteristics compared with FBs isolated from normal skin (NSFBs) and hyperplastic scars (HSFBs)...

BACKGROUND: The identification of microRNA (miRNA)-related molecular mechanisms has advanced the development of new therapeutics for atherosclerosis (AS). The roles of miR-202-5p- in the pathogenic mechanisms of AS have not been explored. METHODS: Macrophages were transfected with a series of miR-202-5p mimic/inhibitor, and then assessed for changes in viability, apoptosis, and secretion of inflammatory cytokines. The regulatory mechanism of miR-202-5p was explored through dual-luciferase reporter gene assay...

BACKGROUND: Aberrant promoter methylation of CpG islands plays an important role in carcinogenesis. However, the association between the DNA methylation of JAK-STAT pathway-related genes in peripheral blood leukocytes and colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility remains unclear. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study of 403 patients with CRC and 419 cancer free controls, and the DNA methylation levels of JAK2, STAT1, STAT3, and SOCS3 in peripheral blood samples from all subjects were assessed using a methylation-sensitive high-resolution melting (MS-HRM) analysis...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by the dystrophin gene mutations and is one of the most common and lethal human hereditary disorders. A novel therapeutic approach using CRISPR technology has gained attention in the treatment of DMD. Gene replacement strategies are being proposed as a promising therapeutic option to compensate the loss of function mutations. Although, the large size of the dystrophin gene and the limitations of the existing gene replacement approach, could mean the gene delivery of shortened versions of dystrophin such as midystrophin and microdystrophins...

Staphylococcus gallinarum FCW1 was isolated from naturally fermented coconut-water and identified by biochemical and molecular methods. Probiotic characterization and safety assessment were conducted through a series of in vitro tests. A high survival rate was observed when the strain was tested for resistance to bile, lysozyme, simulated gastric and intestinal fluid, phenol, and different temperature and salt concentrations. The strain showed antagonism against some pathogens, was susceptible to all antibiotics tested except penicillin, and showed no hemolytic and DNase activity...

Taraxacum kok-saghyz has been identified as one of the most promising alternative rubber crops, with laticifer cells that produce high-quality rubber. To uncover the underlying molecular mechanisms regulating natural rubber biosynthesis under MeJA induction, a reference transcriptome was constructed from nine samples of T. kok-saghyz. MeJA treatment was applied for 0 h (control), 6 h, and 24 h. A total of 7452 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in response to MeJA stress, relative to the control...

Cell division cycle associated 8 (CDCA8) is a component of the chromosomal passenger complex and plays an essential role in mitosis, meiosis, cancer growth, and undifferentiated state of embryonic stem cells. However, its expression and role in adult tissues remain largely uncharacterized. Here, we studied the CDCA8 transcription in adult tissues by generating a transgenic mouse model, in which the luciferase was driven by a 1-kb human CDCA8 promoter. Our previous study showed that this 1-kb promoter was active enough to dictate reporter expression faithfully reflecting endogenous CDCA8 expression...

Recently, aberrant DNA methylation of the HIST1H4F gene (encodes Histone 4 protein) has been shown in many types of cancer, which may serve as a promising biomarker for early cancer diagnosis. However, the correlation between DNA methylation of the HIST1H4F gene and its role in gene expression is unclear in bladder cancer. Therefore, the first objective of this study is to explore the DNA methylation pattern of the HIST1H4F gene and then further elucidate its effects on HIST1H4F mRNA expression in bladder cancer...

The nucleolar rRNA 2'-O-methyltransferase fibrillarin (FBL) contains a highly conserved methyltransferase domain at the C-terminus and a diverse glycine arginine-rich (GAR) domain at the N-terminus in eukaryotes. We found that a nine-exon configuration of fbl and exon 2-3 encoded GAR domain are conserved and specific in vertebrates. All internal exons except exon 2 and 3 are of the same lengths in different vertebrate lineages. The lengths of exon 2 and 3 vary in different vertebrate species but the ones with longer exon 2 usually have shorter exon 3 complementarily, limiting lengths of the GAR domain within a certain range...

To survive under harsh environments, embryonic development of Artemia was arrested at the gastrula stage and released as the diapause embryo. Cell cycle and metabolism were highly suppressed in this state of quiescence. However, cellular mechanisms underlying diapause remain largely unclear. In this study, we found that the expression level of a CT10 regulator of kinase-encoding gene (Ar-Crk) in diapause embryos was significantly lower than non-diapause embryos at the early embryogenetic stage of Artemia. Knockdown of Ar-Crk by RNA interference induced formation of diapause embryos, while the control group produced nauplii...

Toll-like receptor (TLR) 22 is a non-mammalian TLR, which is identified initially as a functional substitute of mammalian TLR3 in recognizing cell surface long dsRNA in teleosts. To understand the pathogen surveillance role played by TLR22 in an air-breathing catfish model the full-length cDNA of TLR22 was identified in Clarias magur and found to be consisted of 3597 nucleotides encoding for 966 amino acids. In the deduced amino acid sequence of C. magur TLR22 (CmTLR22) key signature domains such as one signal peptide, 13 LRRs, one transmembrane domain, one LRR_CT domain and an intracellular TIR domain could be identified...
