Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease and is mainly characterized by degradation of the articular cartilage. Recently, circular RNAs (circRNAs), novel noncoding RNAs with different biological functions and pathological implications, have been reported to be closely associated with various diseases. Growing evidence indicates that circRNAs act as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) that...
HacA is a conserved basic leucine zipper transcription factor that serves as the master transcriptional regulator in the unfolded protein response (UPR). To comprehensively evaluate the role of HacA in Aspergillus oryzae, a homokaryotic hacA disruption mutant (HacA-DE) and a strain that expressed a constitutively active form of HacA (HacA-CA) were successfully generated, and transcriptome analyses...
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an essential enzyme playing a pivotal role in the protection mechanism against oxidative stress by reducing superoxide radicals. In the present study, the full-length cDNA sequence of manganese superoxide dismutase was identified from Zostera marina (ZmMnSOD) via raid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technique and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) analysis. The open reading...
An efficient DNA assembling strategy was developed here modified from Class-IIS endonuclease mediated DNA splicing by directed ligation (SDL). Benefited from the full-length PCR directly using ligation products as template, this strategy required less effort and less time to obtain the assembled full-length DNA. The advantages of this strategy made it a rapid and easy-to-perform gene splicing and...
Cervical carcinoma is a common gynecologic tumor severely influencing the health and life quality of women worldwide. CD226, a costimulatory molecule, is mainly participated in the activation and differentiation of T cells. Recent studies have investigated the association between two genetic variants (rs763361 and rs727088) of CD226 gene and many diseases. In order to evaluate whether these two variants...
The X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) protein plays a central role in DNA repair pathways. Epidemiological studies have revealed the association between XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism and cancer risk, but the results were inconsistent. We conducted this meta-analysis to assess the effect of XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism on cancer susceptibility with accumulated data. Up to January 2012,...
