Selection of suitable reference genes for normalization of RT-qPCR in three tissues of Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) infected with eyeworm (Oxyspirura petrowi)
CONCLUSION: Based on the geometric mean of all three analyses, our results indicate that the combination of RPL32 and HMBS for the liver, HMBS and SDHA for the spleen, and YWHAZ and HMBS for caecal tonsils might be used as reference genes for normalization in gene expression investigations on Northern bobwhites.PMID:38578540 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-024-09401-z (Source: Molecular Biology Reports)

The advent of RNA-based therapeutics for metabolic syndrome and associated conditions: a comprehensive review of the literature
Mol Biol Rep. 2024 Apr 5;51(1):493. doi: 10.1007/s11033-024-09457-x.ABSTRACTMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is a prevalent and intricate health condition affecting a significant global population, characterized by a cluster of metabolic and hormonal disorders disrupting lipid and glucose metabolism pathways. Clinical manifestations encompass obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and hypertension, contributing to heightened risks of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Existing medications often fall short in addressing the syndrome's multifaceted nature, leading to suboptimal treatment outcomes and potential long-term heal...

Impacts of β-1, 3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases (B3GNTs) in human diseases
Mol Biol Rep. 2024 Mar 29;51(1):476. doi: 10.1007/s11033-024-09405-9.ABSTRACTGlycosylation modification of proteins is a common post-translational modification that exists in various organisms and has rich biological functions. It is usually catalyzed by multiple glycosyltransferases located in the Golgi apparatus. β-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases (B3GNTs) are members of the glycosyltransferases and have been found to be involved in the occurrence and development of a variety of diseases including autoimmunity diseases, cancers, neurodevelopment, musculoskeletal system, and metabolic diseases. The functions of B3GNT...

Cellular and molecular mechanisms of cell damage and cell death in ischemia-reperfusion injury in organ transplantation
Mol Biol Rep. 2024 Mar 29;51(1):473. doi: 10.1007/s11033-024-09261-7.ABSTRACTIschemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a critical pathological condition in which cell death plays a major contributory role, and negatively impacts post-transplant outcomes. At the cellular level, hypoxia due to ischemia disturbs cellular metabolism and decreases cellular bioenergetics through dysfunction of mitochondrial electron transport chain, causing a switch from cellular respiration to anaerobic metabolism, and subsequent cascades of events that lead to increased intracellular concentrations of Na+, H+ and Ca2+ and consequently cellular edem...
