Mouse Ahnak Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Ahnak Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Ahnak conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Ahnak gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_009643 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000069833 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 19. 5 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 3 and the TAG stop codon in exon 5 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000092956). Exon 4 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Ahnak gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-241A8 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Mice homozygous for one knock-out allele exhibit decreased T cell proliferation and increased susceptibility to parasitic infection. Exon 4 starts from about 0.93% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 4 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 3 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 419 bp, and the size of intron 4 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 835 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~647 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

No significant tandem repeat is found in the dot plot matrix. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

No significant high GC-content region is found. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

  • Overexpression of RNF38 Facilitates TGF-Β Signaling by Ubiquitinating

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research (2019) 38:113 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13046-019-1113-3 RESEARCH Open Access Overexpression of RNF38 facilitates TGF-β signaling by Ubiquitinating and degrading AHNAK in hepatocellular carcinoma Rui Peng1,2†, Peng-Fei Zhang1,3†, Xuan Yang1†, Chuan-Yuan Wei1†, Xiao-Yong Huang1, Jia-Bin Cai1, Jia-Cheng Lu1, Chao Gao1, Hai-Xiang Sun1, Qiang Gao1, Dou-Sheng Bai2, Guo-Ming Shi1*, Ai-Wu Ke1* and Jia Fan1,4* Abstract Background: RING finger protein 38 (RNF38), a member of the RNF protein family, has just emerged as a vital driver of cancer progression. However, the oncogenic mechanisms of RNF38 remain unexplored. Methods: Using frozen tumor tissue and tissue microarray from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, we tried to probe the expression of RNF38 in HCC and its clinical value. Then the biological functions of RNF38 were analyzed in vivo and vitro. Stable isotope labeling with amino acids (SILAC) in cell culture and co-immunoprecipitation proteomic analyses were combined to reveal the potential mechanism of RNF38 in HCC progression. Results: We report that RNF38 expression was markedly higher in HCC tissues than in peritumor tissues. Correspondingly, RNF38 overexpression promoted the HCC cell migration and invasion and inhibited apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. And elevated RNF38 expression induced HCC cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition by facilitating transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling via ubiquitinating and degrading neuroblast differentiation-associated protein (AHNAK), a well-established inhibitor of TGF-β signaling. Furthermore, AHNAK interference restored the HCC cell invasion and metastasis deprived by RNF38 downregulation.

  • A Cluster of Noncoding Rnas Activates the ESR1 Locus During Breast Cancer Adaptation
    ARTICLE Received 7 Jan 2015 | Accepted 20 Mar 2015 | Published 29 Apr 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms7966 OPEN A cluster of noncoding RNAs activates the ESR1 locus during breast cancer adaptation Saori Tomita1,2,*, Mohamed Osama Ali Abdalla1,*, Saori Fujiwara1,2, Haruka Matsumori1, Kazumitsu Maehara3, Yasuyuki Ohkawa3, Hirotaka Iwase2, Noriko Saitoh1 & Mitsuyoshi Nakao1,4,5 Estrogen receptor-a (ER)-positive breast cancer cells undergo hormone-independent proliferation after deprivation of oestrogen, leading to endocrine therapy resistance. Up-regulation of the ER gene (ESR1) is critical for this process, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show that the combination of transcriptome and fluorescence in situ hybridization analyses revealed that oestrogen deprivation induced a cluster of noncoding RNAs that defined a large chromatin domain containing the ESR1 locus. We termed these RNAs as Eleanors (ESR1 locus enhancing and activating noncoding RNAs). Eleanors were present in ER-positive breast cancer tissues and localized at the transcriptionally active ESR1 locus to form RNA foci. Depletion of one Eleanor, upstream (u)-Eleanor, impaired cell growth and transcription of intragenic Eleanors and ESR1 mRNA, indicating that Eleanors cis-activate the ESR1 gene. Eleanor-mediated gene activation represents a new type of locus control mechanism and plays an essential role in the adaptation of breast cancer cells. 1 Department of Medical Cell Biology, Institute of Molecular Embryology and Genetics, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto 860-0811, Japan. 2 Department of Breast and Endocrine Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto 860-8556, Japan. 3 Department of Advanced Initiative Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Kyushu University, Fukuoka 812-8582, Japan.

They account for 25% of total protein mass, exhibit a broad range of size and organisation depending on tissue and stage of development, and can be under circadian clock control. Here we show that the remarkable dynamic pleomorphism of collagen fibrils is underpinned by a mechanism that distinguishes between collagen secretion and initiation of fibril assembly, at the plasma membrane. Collagen fibrillogenesis occurring at the plasma membrane requires vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) 33b (which is under circadian clock control), collagen-binding integrin-a11 subunit, and is reduced when endocytosis is inhibited. Fibroblasts lacking VPS33b secrete soluble collagen without assembling fibrils, whereas constitutive over-expression of VPS33b increases fibril number with loss of fibril rhythmicity.

ANRIL, a large antisense non-coding RNA, is in were shown to act as promoter for ANRIL and p14ARF. the proximity of CDKN2A and overlapped with CDKN2B at Moreover, as well p14ARF, ANRIL promoter was responsive human chromosome 9p21, and has been strongly implicated to transcription factor E2F1 in HeLa and A549 cells. Taken in the association with high risk genetic markers of coronary together, our present results indicate that co-regulation of artery disease (CAD). Mice model harboring large deletion ANRIL and p14ARF could be coupled by their unique of posterior part of ANRIL and CAD high risk genetic markers intergenic region potentially through E2F1. Judged from the resulted in substantial suppression of both CDKN2A and suppressive effect of ANRIL on a subset of mRNAs involved CDKN2B; however, the mechanistic insights of regulation in the nuclear function suggests that ANRIL might have and function of ANRIL have remain elusive. To date multiple silencing effect on a specific gene set that accounts for a splice variants of ANRIL have been reported and expression wide array of gene expression. of specific splice variant of ANRIL has been shown to be tightly associated with 9p21 CAD high risk markers.
