Role of < em > Dgat2 < /em > in Glucose Uptake and Fatty Acid Metabolism in C2C12 Skeletal Myotubes
J Microbiol Biotechnol. 2023 Aug 18;33(12):1-9. doi: 10.4014/jmb.2307.07018. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcyl-coenzyme A (CoA):diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) catalyzes the last stage of triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis, a process that forms ester bonds with diacylglycerols (DAG) and fatty acyl-CoA substrates. The enzymatic role of Dgat2 has been studied in various biological species. Still, the full description of how Dgat2 channels fatty acids in skeletal myocytes and the consequence thereof in glucose uptake have yet to be well established. Therefore, this study explored the mediating role of Dgat2 in glucose ...

The identification and validation of target genes of IGFBP3 protein in sheep skeletal muscle cells
This study aimed to identify the target genes of IGFBP3（insulin growth factor binding protein）protein and to investigate its target genes effects on the proliferation and differentiation of Hu sheep skeletal muscle cells. IGFBP3 was an RNA-binding protein that regulates mRNA stability. Previous studies have reported that IGFBP3 promotes the proliferation of Hu sheep skeletal muscle cells and inhibits differentiation, but the downstream genes that bind to it have not been reported yet. We predicted the target genes of IGFBP3 through RNAct and sequencing data, and verified by qPCR and RIP（RNA Immunoprecipitation）expe...

siRNA-Mediated MrIAG Silencing Induces Sex Reversal in Macrobrachium rosenbergii.
Abstract The insulin-like androgenic gland (IAG) gene is well known in male crustacean, and it is a key regulator in male sexual differentiation and maintaining the male sexual characteristic. The neo-female can be produced by silencing the MrIAG (Macrobrachium rosenbergii Insulin-like Androgenic Gland) in male Macrobrachium rosenbergii. This is the first time to use siRNA approach to silenced MrIAG in male M. rosenbergii. In the current study, the optimal injection dosage to achieve sex reversal is 0.5 μg/g body weight. After MrIAG silencing, the expression level of Dmrt11e, Dmrt99b, MRPINK, Mrr, Sxl1, and Sxl2...

Expression analysis of proteasome maturation protein (POMP) gene in Liaoning Cashmere goat.
Abstract Liaoning Cashmere goat is a precious genetic resource of China. To explore the relationship between POMP and cashmere growth, we analyzed the expression of POMP. POMP encodes a hudrophilic protein which is most closely related to bos. RT-PCR showed that POMP was expressed in skin, heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney tissues. Real-time PCR showed that the expression of POMP was more active in the secondary hair follicles than the primary hair follicles in anagen. In situ hybridization showed that POMP was obviously expressed in the Inner Root Sheath (IRS) but no expression in Outer Root. The treatment o...

Co-delivery of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor specific siRNA and doxorubicin using chitosan-based nanoparticles enhanced anticancer efficacy in A549 lung cancer cell line.
Authors: Shali H, Shabani M, Pourgholi F, Hajivalili M, Aghebati-Maleki L, Jadidi-Niaragh F, Baradaran B, Movassaghpour Akbari AA, Younesi V, Yousefi M Abstract Here, we investigated the effects of dual delivery of IGF-1R siRNA and doxorubicin by chitosan nanoparticles on viability of A549 lung cancer cells line by utilization of MTT and qRT-PCR. Furthermore apoptosis and migration of treated cells were assessed by Annexin-PI and wound healing assays, respectively. The chitosan nanoparticles had about 176 nm size with zeta potential and polydispersive index about 11 mV and 0.3, respectively. The IGF-1R siRNA ha...
