Acetyl Group Coordinated Progression Through the Catalytic Cycle of an Arylalkylamine N-Acetyltransferase
RESEARCH ARTICLE Acetyl group coordinated progression through the catalytic cycle of an arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase Adam A. Aboalroub, Ashleigh B.

Linc-DYNC2H1-4 Promotes EMT and CSC Phenotypes by Acting As a Sponge of Mir-145 in Pancreatic Cancer Cells
Citation: Cell Death and Disease (2017) 8, e2924; doi:10.1038/cddis.2017.311 OPEN Official journal of the Cell Death Differentiation Association www.nature.com/cddis Linc-DYNC2H1-4 promotes EMT and CSC phenotypes by acting as a sponge of miR-145 in pancreatic cancer cells Yuran Gao1, Zhicheng Zhang2,3, Kai Li1,3, Liying Gong1, Qingzhu Yang1, Xuemei Huang1, Chengcheng Hong1, Mingfeng Ding*,2 and Huanjie Yang*,1 The acquisition of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and/or existence of a sub-population of cancer stem-like cells (CSC) are associated with malignant behavior and chemoresistance. To identify which factor could promote EMT and CSC formation and uncover the mechanistic role of such factor is important for novel and targeted therapies. In the present study, we found that the long intergenic non-coding RNA linc-DYNC2H1-4 was upregulated in pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3-Gem with acquired gemcitabine resistance. Knockdown of linc-DYNC2H1-4 decreased the invasive behavior of BxPC-3-Gem cells while ectopic expression of linc-DYNC2H1-4 promoted the acquisition of EMT and stemness of the parental sensitive cells. Linc-DYNC2H1-4 upregulated ZEB1, the EMT key player, which led to upregulation and downregulation of its targets vimentin and E-cadherin respectively, as well as enhanced the expressions of CSC makers Lin28, Nanog, Sox2 and Oct4. Linc-DYNC2H1-4 is mainly located in the cytosol. Mechanically, it could sponge miR-145 that targets ZEB1, Lin28, Nanog, Sox2, Oct4 to restore these EMT and CSC-associated genes expressions. We proved that MMP3, the nearby gene of linc-DYNC2H1-4 in the sense strand, was also a target of miR-145. -

The causes and the mechanisms of embryonic mortality remain unclear. The purpose of our study was to examine global gene expression changes during embryo invasion in mink, and thereby to identify potential signaling pathways involved in implantation failure and early pregnancy loss. Methods: Illumina's next-generation sequencing technology (RNA-Seq) was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in implantation (IMs) and inter- implantation sites (inter-IMs) of uterine tissue. Results: We identified a total of 606 DEGs, including 420 up- and 186 down-regulated genes in IMs compared to inter-IMs. Gene annotation analysis indicated multiple biological pathways to be significantly enriched for DEGs, including immune response, ECM complex, cytokine activity, chemokine activity andprotein binding. The KEGG pathway including cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, Jak-STAT, TNF and the chemokine signaling pathway were the most enriched. -

A Functional Study of ADAMTS7 Gene Variants
A functional study of ADAMTS7 gene variants Xiangyuan Pu A thesis submitted to the University of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Clinical Pharmacology William Harvey Research Institute Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry Queen Mary, University of London March, 2014 I dedicate this thesis to my parents and my fiancée. Without their endless love, support and encouragement, none of my achievements would be possible. 2 Abstract Background: Recent studies have revealed an association between genetic variants at the ADAMTS7 (a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 7) locus and susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD). ADAMTS-7 has been reported to facilitate vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration and promote neointima formation. We sought to study the functional mechanisms underlying this relationship and to further investigate the role of ADAMTS-7 in atherosclerosis. Methods and Results: In vitro assays showed that the CAD-associated non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism rs3825807, which results in a serine to proline (Ser-to- Pro) substitution at residue 214 in the ADAMTS-7 pro-domain, affected ADAMTS-7 pro- domain cleavage. Immunohistochemical analyses showed that ADAMTS-7 localised to vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) in human coronary and carotid atherosclerotic plaques. Cell migration assays demonstrated that VSMCs and ECs from individuals who were homozygous for the adenine (A) allele (encoding the Ser214 isoform) had increased migratory ability compared with cells from individuals who were homozygous for the G allele (encoding the Pro214 isoform). Western blot analyses revealed that media conditioned by VSMCs of the A/A genotype contained more cleaved ADAMTS-7 pro-domain and more of the cleaved form of thrombospondin-5 (TSP-5, an ADAMTS-7 substrate that had been shown to be produced by VSMCs and inhibit VSMC migration). -
