GLYR1 transcriptionally regulates PER3 expression to promote the proliferation and migration of multiple myeloma
Genomics. 2024 Apr 18:110846. doi: 10.1016/j.ygeno.2024.110846. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeriod circadian regulator 3 (PER3) functions as a tumor suppressor in various cancers. However, the role of PER3 in multiple myeloma (MM) has not been reported yet. Through this study, we aimed to investigate the potential role of PER3 in MM and the underlying mechanisms. RT-qPCR and western blotting were used to determine the mRNA and protein expression levels of PER3. Glyoxylate reductase 1 homolog (GLYR1) was predicted to be a transcription factor of PER3. The binding sites of GLYR1 on the promoter region of PER3 were analyzed...

Comparative genomics on chloroplasts of Rubus (Rosaceae)
In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and characterized 17 plastomes of Rubus, and conducted comparative genomics integrating with 47 previously issued plastomes of this genus. The 64 plastomes of Rubus exhibited typical quadripartite structure with sizes ranging from 155,144 to 156,700 bp, and contained 132 genes including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and eight rRNA genes. All plastomes are conservative in the gene order, the frequency of different types of long repeats and simple sequence repeats (SSRs), the codon usage, and the selection pressure of protein-coding genes. However, there are also some differen...

Genetic structural analysis of different breeds and geographical groups of Fenneropenaeus chinensis reveals population diversity
This study investigated eight F. chinensis populations in China, including four geographical populations, three commercial breeds, and one wild population captured from the Yellow Sea. Population stratification analysis revealed that the Hebei geographical population and commercial breeding "Huanghai No. 4" were relatively independent and stable, reflecting a relatively closed breeding environment, whereas gene introgression was present between other populations. Selective signature analysis detected artificial selection for vision, growth, and disease resistance in the Hebei population. Neuronal development-related genes ...

Melatonin promotes proliferation of Inner Mongolia cashmere goat hair follicle papilla cells through Wnt10b
Genomics. 2024 Apr 10:110844. doi: 10.1016/j.ygeno.2024.110844. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe study demonstrated that melatonin (MT) can induce the development of secondary hair follicles in Inner Mongolian cashmere goats through the Wnt10b gene, leading to secondary dehairing. However, the mechanisms underlying the expression and molecular function of Wnt10b in dermal papilla cells (DPC) remain unknown. This research aimed to investigate the impact of MT on DPC and the regulation of Wnt10b expression, function, and molecular mechanisms in DPC. The findings revealed that MT promotes DPC proliferation and enhances DPC a...

Variants in FOXC1 and FOXC2 identified in patients with conotruncal heart defects
Genomics. 2024 Apr 3;116(3):110840. doi: 10.1016/j.ygeno.2024.110840. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConotruncal heart defects (CTD), subtypes of congenital heart disease, result from abnormal cardiac outflow tract development (OFT). FOXC1 and FOXC2 are closely related members of the forkhead transcription factor family and play essential roles in the development of OFT. We confirmed their expression pattern in mouse and human embryos, identifying four variants in FOXC1 and three in FOXC2 by screening these two genes in 605 patients with sporadic CTD. Western blot demonstrated expression levels, while Dual-luciferase report...
