NF-κB may promote tumor progression by altering cell metabolism. Hence, finding its target genes that are involved in cell metabolism is helpful for understanding its role in tumor growth. Here we discovered four metabolism-related target genes of this transcription factor. By analyzing a chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-Seq) data that characterizing the global binding...
Peptidylprolyl isomerase A (PPIA) is a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase that is known to play a critical role in the development of many human cancers. However, the precise biological function of PPIA in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains largely unclear. In this study, lentiviral overexpression vectors and small interfering RNA knockdown methods were employed to investigate the biological...
The plant hormone auxin plays a vital role in regulating many aspects of plant growth and development. Small auxin up-regulated RNAs (SAURs) are primary auxin response genes hypothesized to be involved in auxin signaling pathway, but their functions remain unclear. Here, a genome-wide search for SAUR gene homologues in Solanaceae species identified 99 and 134 members of SAUR gene family from tomato...
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), a family of Ser/Thr protein kinases, play an essential role in mediating biotic and abiotic stress responses in plants. In this study, we investigated 16 putative SlMAPK genes from tomato genome and compared them with those from Arabidopsis. The full cDNA sequences of 13 novel SlMAPKs in tomato were obtained through PCR ampilification. A comprehensive genome-wide...
Glucosinolates (GS) are a group of amino acid-derived secondary metabolites found throughout the Cruciferae family. Glucosinolates and their degradation products play important roles in pathogen and insect interactions, as well as in human health. In order to elucidate the glucosinolate biosynthetic pathway in Brassica rapa, we conducted comparative genomic analyses of Arabidopsis thaliana and B....
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been found to be associated with sensorineural hearing loss. We report here the clinical, genetic and molecular characterizations of seven Han Chinese pedigrees with aminoglycoside-induced and nonsyndromic bilateral hearing loss. Clinical evaluation revealed the variable phenotype of hearing impairment including severity, age-at-onset and audiometric configuration...
