Publication date: Available online 31 October 2019Source: Clinica Chimica ActaAuthor(s): Feihu Chu, Lusha Xue, Haiyan MiaoAbstractLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in tumor development. With the development of sequencing technology, many new lncRNAs have been discovered. lncRNA TP73-AS1 is abnormally expressed in many cancers. A summary of the current literature related to TP73-AS1 reveals that TP73-AS1 mainly regulates the occurrence and development of tumors through the mechanism...
Transplantation of gene-modified haematopoietic stem cells: Application and clinical considerations.
Authors: Alessandrini M, Krause KH, Speck RF, Pepper MS Abstract Autologous and allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation has been performed in patients with various malignant and non-malignant haematological disorders for more than 50 years. Ex vivo gene modification of HSCs for autologous transplantation opens up new therapeutic avenues for genetic and infectious diseases. Major advances have been made over the last three decades with respect to gene modification of HSCs...
We present a rational approach for the use of diagnostic tests during the workup of HIV-infected patients presenting with cytopenia, and discuss how HIV impacts on haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) resulting in impaired haematopoiesis. Finally, we describe the direct and indirect effects of HIV on HSPCs which result in defective haematopoiesis leading to cytopenias.

Authors: Grobbelaar S, Mercier AE, Verburgh E, Brittain D, Pepper MS Abstract The growing need for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is reflected in the increasing number of transplants performed globally each year. HSCT provides life-changing and potentially curative therapy for a range of pathologies including haematological malignancies; other indications include certain congenital and acquired disorders of the haematopoietic system, autoimmune conditions and hereditary...

CONCLUSIONS.—: Leiomyosarcoma of bone is a rare but well-recognized primary osseous sarcoma that may arise de novo or in association with radiation. Although it is diagnostically challenging, awareness of this rare sarcoma and knowledge of its key histomorphologic and immunohistochemical features allow for accurate diagnosis. PMID: 31661313 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine)
CONCLUSIONS.—: Despite their relative rarity in many surgical pathology practices, sinonasal papillomas and carcinomas frequently demonstrate characteristic morphologic features that are important for accurate diagnosis. Given our emerging understanding of the molecular basis for these tumors, judicious use of available ancillary tools-including immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization-may be helpful in subsets of cases, whereas additional molecular testing may be useful for diagnostically...
In this study, we introduced theHemA1 andpgr7 genes from the higher plantArabidopsis thaliana into recombinantEscherichia coli to overproduce extracellular 5-aminolevulinic acid via the C5 pathway. In theE. coli BL21 (DE3) strain background, the ALA concentration of the strain expressing bothHemA1 andpgr7 was the highest and reached 3080.62 mg/L. Among the 7 tested hosts, ALA production was the highest inE. coli Transetta (DE3). InE. coli Transetta GTR/GBP, the expression levels ofzwf, gnd, pgl...
In this study, we demonstrate that HPV E6 is ubiquitinated by E6AP in presence of p53. Crucially, ubiquitination of E6 is important for p53 degradation and blockage of E6 ubiquitination negatively interferes with E6-mediated p53 degradation and enhances the apoptotic effects of p53 and the cytotoxicity of DNA damage in HPV-positive cervical cancer cells. Importantly, our data suggest that the HPV oncogene E6 might be an optimal pharmacologic. (Source: Frontiers in Microbiology)

Authors: Overby M, Belardi K, Schreiber J Abstract Canonical babbling and volubility are common indicators of infant vocal development. If either indicator falls below values found in typical infants, it may be an early signal of a developmental disorder. The aim of this retrospective investigation was to examine home videos for the frequency of canonical babbles, age of canonical babbling onset, and overall volubility of eight infants later diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech and...

In this study, a set of 40 independent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of Pgp embedded in cholesterol-rich lipid bilayers are reported, totaling 8 μs, enabling extensive sampling of cholesterol-protein interactions in Pgp. Clustering analyses of the ensemble of cholesterol molecules (∼ 5,740) sampled around Pgp in these simulations reveal specific and asymmetric cholesterol-binding regions formed by the transmembrane (TM) helices TM1-6 and TM8. Notably, not all the putative cholesterol binding...
