Colony Forming Unit Endothelial Cells Do not Exhibit Telomerase Alternative Splicing Variants and Activity
Introduction: Endothelial progenitor colony forming unit-endothelial cells (CFU-EC) were first believed to be the progenitors of endothelial cells, named endothelial progenitor cells. Further studies revealed that they are monocytes regulating vasculogenesis. The main hindrance of these cells for therapeutic purposes is their low frequency and limited replicative potentials. This study was unde...
متن کاملUse of minigene systems to dissect alternative splicing elements.
Pre-mRNA splicing is an essential step for gene expression in higher eukaryotes. The splicing efficiency of individual exons is determined by multiple features involving gene architecture, a variety of cis-acting elements within the exons and flanking introns, and interactions with components of the basal splicing machinery (called the spliceosome) and auxiliary regulatory factors which transie...
متن کاملMinigene reporter for identification and analysis of cis elements and trans factors affecting pre-mRNA splicing.
All human genes contain a diverse array of cis-acting elements within introns and exons that are required for correct and efficient precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing. Recent computational analyses predict that most human exons contain elements required for splicing coinciding with an appreciation for the high frequency with which mutations that disruption pre-mRNA splicing cause disea...
متن کاملAlternative splicing of [ -tropomyosin pre-mRNA: cis-acting elements and cellular factors that block the use of a skeletal muscle exon in nonmuscle cells
The rat I~-tropomyosin (13-TM) gene encodes both skeletal muscle 13-TM and fibroblast TM-1 by an alternative RNA-splicing mechanism. This gene contains 11 exons. Exons 1-5, 8, and 9 are common to all mRNAs expressed from the gene. Exons 6 and 11 are used in fibroblasts as well as smooth muscle cells, whereas exons 7 and 10 are used in skeletal muscle cells. In this study we have carried out an ...
