Integrative multi-omics landscape of fluoxetine action across 27 brain regions reveals global increase in energy metabolism and region-specific chromatin remodelling.

Depression and anxiety are major global health burdens. Although SSRIs targeting the serotonergic system are prescribed over 200 million times annually, they have variable therapeutic efficacy and side effects, and mechanisms of action remain incompletely understood. Here, we comprehensively characterise the molecular landscape of gene regulatory changes associated with fluoxetine, a widely-used SSRI.

Disrupting the LINC complex by AAV mediated gene transduction prevents progression of Lamin induced cardiomyopathy.

Mutations in the LaminA gene are a common cause of monogenic dilated cardiomyopathy. Here we show that mice with a cardiomyocyte-specific Lmna deletion develop cardiac failure and die within 3-4 weeks after inducing the mutation. When the same Lmna mutations are induced in mice genetically deficient in the LINC complex protein SUN1, life is extended to more than one year.

Targeting the highly abundant circular RNA circSlc8a1 in cardiomyocytes attenuates pressure overload induced hypertrophy.

Aims: We and others have previously described the expression landscape of circular RNA (circRNA) in mouse and human hearts. However, the functional relevance of many of these abundantly expressed cardiomyocyte circRNA remains to be fully explored. Among the most abundant circRNA, one stems from the sodium-calcium exchanger gene, Slc8a1, exon 2 locus.

Prevalence of pathogenic Escherichia coli from salad vegetable and fruits sold in Jakarta.

Objective: Escherichia coli is a normal inhabitant of mammalian's gut, but some strains acquired virulence factor and became pathogenic. Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enterohemorrhagic E.

Interleukin-13 receptor alpha 2 cooperates with EGFRvIII signaling to promote glioblastoma multiforme.

The interleukin-13 receptor alpha2 (IL-13Rα2) is a cancer-associated receptor overexpressed in human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). This receptor is undetectable in normal brain which makes it a highly suitable target for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. However, the pathological role of this receptor in GBM remains to be established.
