Runx3, a member of Runt-related transcription factor (Runx) proteins with tumor suppressor effect, is a tissue–restricted and cancer related transcription factor that regulate cell proliferation and growth, as well as differentiation. In the present study, exogenous Run3 was transiently expressed in AGS (human gastric adenocarcinoma), with undetectable Runx3 protein and in A549 (human lung carc...

Abstract Background Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) OGFRP1 is up-regulated in endometrial cancer and cervical carcinoma, suppression inhibits the malignant behavior of cells. Here, we evaluated expression pattern, biological function potential mechanism non-small cell lung (NSCLC). Methods The target genes 25 pairs clinically collected NSCLC normal tissue samples was detected by qRT-PCR or wester...

A common mutation causing thalassemia in Mediterranean populations is an amber (UAG) nonsense mutation at the 39th codon of the human beta-globin gene, the beta-39 mutation. Studies of mRNA metabolism in erythroblasts from patients with beta-39 thalassemia and studies using heterologous transfection systems have suggested the possibility that this mutation not only affects protein synthesis but...

BACKGROUND In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), an inappropriate immune response leads to chronic mucosal inflammation. This response may be partly due to dysregulation of defensins, which are endogenously produced antimicrobial peptides. This study determined whether microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate α-defensin 5 (DEFA5), which could further implicate both in IBD pathogenesis. METHODS Induction of...

The objective of this study was to investigate whether the immunostimulatory properties of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) could be enhanced by triggering OX40/OX40L signaling. Since monocyte-derived DCs possess only low-cell surface levels of OX40L in the absence of CD40 signaling, OX40L was expressed by transfection of DCs with the corresponding mRNA. We show that OX40L mRNA tran...

The exogenous delivery of coding synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA) for induction of protein synthesis in desired cells has enormous potential in the fields of regenerative medicine, basic cell biology, treatment of diseases, and reprogramming of cells. Here, we describe a step by step protocol for generation of modified mRNA with reduced immune activation potential and increased stability, quality...

background: electroporation is a valuable tool for small interfering rna (sirna) delivery into cells because it efficiently transforms a wide variety of cell types. since electroporation condition for each cell type must be determined experimentally, this study presents an optimal electroporation strategy to reproducibly and efficiently transfect mda-mb 468 human breast cancer cell with sirna. ...

Bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) and SOX9 are important transcription factors in chondrogenesis. In this study, we examined the biological function of the adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated BMP-7 and SOX9 double gene in vitro co-transfection of nucleus pulposus cells of human degenerative intervertebral disc. Human intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells were cultured in vitro and sub...

background: micrornas (mirna) are small non-coding rnas that have a distinguished role in post- transcriptional gene expression. it’s estimated that 10-30% of human mrnas are regulated by mirnas. many mirnas profiles change during normal erythropoiesis in which some of them are stage specific.mir-155 was downregulated 200 fold in erythropoiesis. materials and methods: k562cells were grown in rp...

Objective: Our aim was to characterize distinctive clinical antiphospholipid syndrome phenotypes and identify novel microRNA (miRNA)-mRNA-intracellular signaling regulatory networks in monocytes linked cardiovascular disease. Approach Results: Microarray analysis revealed 547 differentially expressed genes, mainly involved inflammatory, cardiovascular, reproductive disorders. Besides, this appr...
