Integrative multiomics evaluation reveals the importance of pseudouridine synthases in hepatocellular carcinoma.

The pseudouridine synthases (PUSs) have been reported to be associated with cancers. However, their involvement in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been well documented. Here, we assess the roles of PUSs in HCC.

Comprehensive Analysis of HOX Family Members as Novel Diagnostic and Prognostic Markers for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Background: The homeobox (HOX) gene family has been found to be involved in human cancers. However, its involvement in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been well documented. Here, we comprehensively evaluated the role of HOXs in HCC.

Cytokinins is involved in regulation of tomato pericarp thickness and fruit size.

Although cytokinins (CKs) regulate fruit development, no direct genetic evidence supports the role of endogenous CKs in pericarp growth or development or fruit size. Here, we report that the reduction in endogenous active CKs level via overexpression of a CKs-inactivating enzyme gene AtCKX2 specifically in fruit tissues resulted in reduced pericarp thickness and smaller fruit size, compared to wild-type control fruits. The pericarp thickness and single fruit weight in transgenic plants were significantly reduced.
