Lin28: Time for Tissue Repair
نویسنده
چکیده
Embryos and juveniles in many organisms repair tissue injuries better than adults. In this issue, Shyh-Chang et al. find that postnatal activation of Lin28a, a gene typically active in embryonic development, promotes better than normal tissue repair in mice, including following ear and digit injuries.

Background Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. This disease affects approximately 10% of women in reproductive age and is associated with pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and infertility. The theory of involvement of stem cells is a considered new hypothesis in etiology of endometriosis.The aim of this study wa...
متن کاملDovitinib enhances temozolomide efficacy in glioblastoma cells
The multikinase inhibitor and FDA-approved drug dovitinib (Dov) crosses the blood-brain barrier and was recently used as single drug application in clinical trials for GB patients with recurrent disease. The Dov-mediated molecular mechanisms in GB cells are unknown. We used GB patient cells and cell lines to show that Dov downregulated the stem cell protein Lin28 and its target high-mobility gr...
متن کاملLin28 Enhances Tissue Repair by Reprogramming Cellular Metabolism
Regeneration capacity declines with age, but why juvenile organisms show enhanced tissue repair remains unexplained. Lin28a, a highly conserved RNA-binding protein expressed during embryogenesis, plays roles in development, pluripotency, and metabolism. To determine whether Lin28a might influence tissue repair in adults, we engineered the reactivation of Lin28a expression in several models of t...
متن کاملThe Lin28 Expression in Stallion Testes
The molecular markers for specific germ cell stages can be utilized for identifying, monitoring, and separating a particular stage of germ cells. The RNA-binding protein Lin28 is expressed in gonocytes of human fetal testes. The Lin28 expression is restricted to a very small population of spermatogonial cells in human, mice, and monkey. The main objective of this study was to investigate the ex...
متن کاملLIN28 cooperates with WNT signaling to drive invasive intestinal and colorectal adenocarcinoma in mice and humans.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major contributor to cancer-related mortality. LIN28A and LIN28B are highly related RNA-binding protein paralogs that regulate biogenesis of let-7 microRNAs and influence development, metabolism, tissue regeneration, and oncogenesis. Here we demonstrate that overexpression of either LIN28 paralog cooperates with the Wnt pathway to promote invasive intestinal ad...
