Escaping from CRISPR-Cas-mediated knockout: the facts, mechanisms, and applications
Cell Mol Biol Lett. 2024 Apr 8;29(1):48. doi: 10.1186/s11658-024-00565-x.ABSTRACTClustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and associated Cas protein (CRISPR-Cas), a powerful genome editing tool, has revolutionized gene function investigation and exhibits huge potential for clinical applications. CRISPR-Cas-mediated gene knockout has already become a routine method in research laboratories. However, in the last few years, accumulating evidences have demonstrated that genes knocked out by CRISPR-Cas may not be truly silenced. Functional residual proteins could be generated in such knockout organisms to compe...

Effects of mifepristone on adipocyte differentiation in mouse 3T3-L1 cells
CONCLUSIONS: Mifepristone alone is capable of inducing adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells and adipogenesis in vivo. PPARγ plays a critical role in the mifepristone-induced adipocyte differentiation. Mifepristone-induced adipocytes are closer to the in situ adipocytes than those induced by the conventional protocol. The present study proposes a single treatment with mifepristone as a novel protocol to induce more physiologically relevant adipocytes in 3T3-L1 cells than the conventional protocol.PMID:38553665 | PMC:PMC10981365 | DOI:10.1186/s11658-024-00559-9 (Source: Cellular and Molecular Biology Letters)

Transcriptional and metabolic effects of aspartate-glutamate carrier isoform 1 (AGC1) downregulation in mouse oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs)
Cell Mol Biol Lett. 2024 Mar 29;29(1):44. doi: 10.1186/s11658-024-00563-z.ABSTRACTAspartate-glutamate carrier isoform 1 (AGC1) is a carrier responsible for the export of mitochondrial aspartate in exchange for cytosolic glutamate and is part of the malate-aspartate shuttle, essential for the balance of reducing equivalents in the cells. In the brain, mutations in SLC25A12 gene, encoding for AGC1, cause an ultra-rare genetic disease, reported as a neurodevelopmental encephalopathy, whose symptoms include global hypomyelination, arrested psychomotor development, hypotonia and seizures. Among the biological components most af...
