CRISPR transcript processing: a mechanism for generating a large number of small interfering RNAsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 1-11 - 2012
Marko Djordjevic, Magdalena Djordjevic, Konstantin Severinov
CRISPR/Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR associated sequences) is a recently discovered prokaryotic defense system against foreign DNA, including viruses and plasmids. CRISPR cassette is transcribed as a continuous transcript (pre-crRNA), which is processed by Cas proteins into small RNA molecules (crRNAs) that are responsible for defense against invading viruse...... hiện toàn bộ
Consequences of cell-to-cell P-glycoprotein transfer on acquired multidrug resistance in breast cancer: a cell population dynamics modelSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 1-18 - 2011
Pasquier, Jennifer, Magal, Pierre, Boulangé-Lecomte, Céline, Webb, Glenn, Le Foll, Frank
Cancer is a proliferation disease affecting a genetically unstable cell population, in which molecular alterations can be somatically inherited by genetic, epigenetic or extragenetic transmission processes, leading to a cooperation of neoplastic cells within tumoural tissue. The efflux protein P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is overexpressed in many cancer cells and has known capacity to confer multidrug re...... hiện toàn bộ
Genome and pan-genome analysis to classify emerging bacteriaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 1-9 - 2019
Aurélia Caputo, Pierre-Edouard Fournier, Didier Raoult
In the recent years, genomic and pan-genomic studies have become increasingly important. Culturomics allows to study human microbiota through the use of different culture conditions, coupled with a method of rapid identification by MALDI-TOF, or 16S rRNA. Bacterial taxonomy is undergoing many changes as a consequence. With the help of pan-genomic analyses, species can be redefined, and new species...... hiện toàn bộ
The advantages and disadvantages of horizontal gene transfer and the emergence of the first speciesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 1-14 - 2011
Aaron A Vogan, Paul G Higgs
Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) is beneficial to a cell if the acquired gene confers a useful function, but is detrimental if the gene has no function, if it is incompatible with existing genes, or if it is a selfishly replicating mobile element. If the balance of these effects is beneficial on average, we would expect cells to evolve high rates of acceptance of horizontally transferred genes, wher...... hiện toàn bộ
Loss of the centrosomal protein ALMS1 alters lipid metabolism and the regulation of extracellular matrix-related processesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 1-14 - 2023

Alström syndrome (ALMS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that is associated with mutations in ALMS1 gene. The main clinical manifestations of ALMS are retinal dystrophy, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dilated cardiomyopathy and multi-organ fibrosis, characteristic in kidneys and liver. Depletion of the protein encoded by ALMS1 has been associated with the alteration of different processes...... hiện toàn bộ
Selection in spatial stochastic models of cancer: Migration as a key modulator of fitnessSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-17 - 2010
Craig J Thalhauser, John S Lowengrub, Dwayne Stupack, Natalia L Komarova
We study the selection dynamics in a heterogeneous spatial colony of cells. We use two spatial generalizations of the Moran process, which include cell divisions, death and migration. In the first model, migration is included explicitly as movement to a proximal location. In the second, migration is implicit, through the varied ability of cell types to place their offspring a distance away, in res...... hiện toàn bộ
The role of LINC01419 in regulating the cell stemness in lung adenocarcinoma through recruiting EZH2 and regulating FBP1 expressionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 1-12 - 2022
Zhao Chen, Weijian Tang, Yuhan Zhou, Zhengfu He
Recent years have witnessed a growing academic interest in the effects of lncRNAs on tumors. LINC01419 is found to facilitate proliferation and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells, but there is a great deal of uncertainty about how LINC01419 works on LUAD cell stemness. For this reason, the focus of this research is centered on the regulatory impact of LINC01419 on LUAD cell stemness. F...... hiện toàn bộ
RGS5 maintaining vascular homeostasis is altered by the tumor microenvironmentSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 1-14 - 2023

Regulator of G protein signaling 5 (RGS5), as a negative regulator of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, is highly expressed in arterial VSMCs and pericytes, which is involved in VSMC phenotypic heterogeneity and vascular remodeling in tumors. However, its role in normal and tumor vascular remodeling is controversial. RGS5 knockout (Rgs5-KO) mice and RGS5 overexpression or knockdown in V...... hiện toàn bộ
