LncRNA MALAT1 Facilitates Parkinson's Disease Progression by Increasing SOCS3 Promoter Methylation.

Introduction: Long noncoding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) has been shown to be involved in Parkinson's disease (PD) progression, but its mechanism needs to be further explored.

Methods: Mice were injected with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) to induce PD mice models, and BV2 cells were treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to mimic PD cell models. MALAT1 expression and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) protein level were examined using quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively.

LncRNA SOX21-AS1 Promotes Activation of BV2 Cells via Epigenetical Silencing of SOCS3 and Aggravates Parkinson's Disease.

Background: LncRNAs perform a crucial impact on microglia's activation in Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, our purpose was to probe the function and involved mechanism of lncRNA SOX21-AS1 on microglial activation in PD.

Methods: Mice were treated with MPTP, and BV2 cells were treated with LPS/ATP to build PD animal and cell models.

KIF11 As a Potential Pan-Cancer Immunological Biomarker Encompassing the Disease Staging, Prognoses, Tumor Microenvironment, and Therapeutic Responses.

KIF11 is one of the 45 family members of kinesin superfamily proteins that functions as a motor protein in mitosis. Emerging evidence revealed that KIF11 plays pivotal roles in cancer initiation, development, and progression. However, the prognostic, oncological, and immunological values of KIF11 have not been comprehensively explored in pan-cancer.

A MYB/bHLH complex regulates tissue-specific anthocyanin biosynthesis in the inner pericarp of red-centered kiwifruit Actinidia chinensis cv. Hongyang.

Many Actinidia cultivars are characterized by anthocyanin accumulation, specifically in the inner pericarp, but the underlying regulatory mechanism remains elusive. Here we report two interacting transcription factors, AcMYB123 and AcbHLH42, that regulate tissue-specific anthocyanin biosynthesis in the inner pericarp of Actinidia chinensis cv. Hongyang.

Comprehensive Transcriptome Profiling Reveals Long Noncoding RNA Expression and Alternative Splicing Regulation during Fruit Development and Ripening in Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis).

Genomic and transcriptomic data on kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) in public databases are very limited despite its nutritional and economic value. Previously, we have constructed and sequenced nine fruit RNA-Seq libraries of A. chinensis "Hongyang" at immature, mature, and postharvest ripening stages of fruit development, and generated over 66.

Comparative studies on zirconia and graphene composites obtained by one-step and stepwise electrodeposition for deoxyribonucleic acid sensing.

In this paper, the comparison of two kinds of electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGNO) and zirconia composites, obtained by one-step (ZrO2-ERGNO) and stepwise (ZrO2/ERGNO) electrodeposition for DNA sensing, is systematically studied. The resulting composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and differential pulse voltammetry. The results indicated that the ZrO2-ERGNO presented fine globular nanostructure.

Electrochemical synthesis of Fe2O3 on graphene matrix for indicator-free impedimetric aptasensing.

Herein, an electrochemical platform was employed for the detection of protein. Fe2O3 was electrochemically deposited on graphene modified glassy carbon electrode surface. Electrodeposition conditions, such as temperature, and time, were optimized for controlling morphologies and electrochemical activities of Fe2O3.

Electrochemical impedimetric DNA sensing based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes-SnO2-chitosan nanocomposite.

A sensitive electrochemical impedimetric DNA biosensor based on the integration of tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles, chitosan (CHIT) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) is presented in this paper. The MWNTs-SnO2-CHIT composite modified gold electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Compared with individual MWNTs-CHIT, SnO2-CHIT and bare gold electrode, this composite showed the most obvious electrochemical signal of the redox probe [Fe(CN)6](3-/4-).

Direct and freely switchable detection of target genes engineered by reduced graphene oxide-poly(m-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) nanocomposite via synchronous pulse electrosynthesis.

A novel one-step electrochemical synthesis of the reduced graphene oxide and poly(m-aminobenzenesulfonic acid, ABSA) nanocomposite (PABSA-rGNO) via pulse potentiostatic method (PPM) for direct and freely switchable detection of target genes is presented. Unlike most electrochemical preparation of hybrids based on rGNO and polymer, electrochemical synthesis of PABSA (during the pulse electropolymerization period of PPM) and electrochemical reduction of rGNO (during the resting period of PPM), in this paper, were alternately performed. The total progress synchronously resulted in PABSA-rGNO nanocomposite.
