چکیده
Mammalian circadian rhythms of activity are generated within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Transcripts from the imprinted, paternally expressed Magel2 gene, which maps to the chromosomal region associated with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), are highly enriched in the SCN. The Magel2 message is circadianly expressed and peaks during the subjective day. Mice deficient in Magel2 expression entrain to light cycles and express normal running-wheel rhythms, but with markedly reduced amplitude of activity and increased daytime activity. These changes are associated with reductions in food intake and male fertility. Orexin levels and orexin-positive neurons in the lateral hypothalamus are substantially reduced, suggesting that some of the consequences of Magel2 loss are mediated through changes in orexin signaling. The robust rhythmicity of Magel2 expression in the SCN and the altered behavioral rhythmicity of null mice reveal Magel2 to be a clock-controlled circadian output gene whose disruption results in some of the phenotypes characteristic of PWS.

متن کاملEffect of miRNA-1266-5p repression on the increasing cell survival and alterations of the cell cycle in AGS cell line
Background: Gastric cancer is among the most common malignancies in certain parts of the world, such as northwest Iran. miRNAs are small and single-stranded noncoding RNAs with about 19-23 nucleotides. Several studies have shown that miRNAs play important roles in gastric tumorigenesis. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of miRNA-1266-5p repression on the cell survival and altera...

We present new high spatial resolution Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) HI absorption and Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) continuum observations of the Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN)driven molecular outflow candidate NGC 1266. Although other well-known systems with molecular outflows may be driven by star formation in a central molecular disk, the molecular mass outflow rate reported in Ala...
