Chinese hamster with Chinese characteristics is used in experiments, and it is of great value in the field of medical biology research. However, at present, there is no high-efficiency method for evaluating the genetic quality of Chinese hamsters. Here, we developed a novel Chinese hamster genetic quality detection system using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers.

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) stands as one of the most lethal malignancies, characterized by a grim diagnosis and prognosis. The emergence of multi-drug resistance poses a significant hurdle to effective therapy. Although previous studies have implicated the long noncoding RNA LYPLAL1-DT in the tumorigenesis of SCLC, the precise role of the highly expressed LYPLAL1-DT in SCLC chemoresistance and the underlying mechanism remain inadequately understood.

Obesity is a predisposing risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Actually, not only obese/overweight but also nonobese/lean individuals may be prone to T2DM. This study is aimed at identifying the contribution of adipose tissue to the development of nonobese diabetes (NOD) and obese diabetes (OD).

The Mongolian gerbil is a distinctive experimental animal in China, as its genetic qualities possess significant value in the field of medical biology research. Here, we aimed to establish an economical and efficient panel for genetic quality detection in Mongolian gerbils using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. To search for SNPs, we conducted whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in 40 Mongolian gerbils from outbred populations.

is a microaerophilic Gram-negative bacterium that resides in the human stomach and is classified as a class I carcinogen for gastric cancer. Numerous studies have demonstrated that infection plays a role in regulating the function of host cells, thereby contributing to the malignant transformation of these cells. However, infection is a chronic process, and short-term cellular experiments may not provide a comprehensive understanding of the situation, especially when considering the lower oxygen levels in the human stomach.

CRISPR/Cas9 possesses the most promising prospects as a gene-editing tool in post-genomic researches. It becomes an epoch-marking technique for the features of speed and convenience of genomic modification. However, it is still unclear whether CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing can cause irreversible damage to the genome.

Background: The Mongolian gerbil is an excellent laboratory animal for preparing the cerebral ischemia model due to its inherent deficiency in the circle of Willis. However, the low incidence and unpredictability of symptoms are caused by numerous complex variant types of the circle. Additionally, the lack of an evaluation system for the cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) model of gerbils has shackled the application of this model.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the most malignant tumors that has an extremely poor prognosis. RNA-binding protein (RBP) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) have been shown to be key regulators during tumorigenesis as well as lung tumor progression. However, the role of RBP ELAVL4 and lncRNA LYPLAL1-DT in SCLC remains unclear.

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is highly expressed in a variety of human cancers and is a target for cancer therapy. Since FAK kinase inhibitors only block the kinase activity of FAK, they are not highly effective in clinical trials. FAK also functions as a scaffold protein in a kinase-independent pathway.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in diabetes related diseases. However, the role of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes with macrovascular complication (DMC) has seldomly been recognized. This study screened lncRNA profiles of leukocytes from DMC patients and explored protective role of lncRNA LYPLAL1-DT in endothelial cells (EC) under high glucose (HG) and inflammatory conditions (IS).

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide, wherein myocardial infarction (MI) is the most dangerous one. Promoting angiogenesis is a prospective strategy to alleviate MI. Our previous study indicated that profilin 2 (PFN2) may be a novel target associated with angiogenesis.

Identifying (, ) infection in animals before and after artificial infection influences the subsequent experiment. We established effective and noninvasive detection methods, including the gastric fluid nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and the C-urea breath test, which can detect before modeling infection in Mongolian gerbils. We designed a gas collection equipment for gerbils.

Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) are multipotent mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissues and are capable of differentiating into multiple cell types in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The roles of ADSC in ovarian cancer (OC) metastasis are still not well defined. To understand whether ADSC contributes to ovarian tumor metastasis, we examined epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers in OC cells following the treatment of the ADSC-conditioned medium (ADSC-CM).

Background: Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a biomarker for better outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, this conclusion is controversial. In addition, MSs can be a useful marker for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of genes, but this finding has not been well studied.

Microsatellite instability (MSI) detection is widely used in the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of colorectal cancer. However, for gastric cancer (GC), there is no standard panel of microsatellites (MSs) used in clinical guidance. The present study aimed to identify useful predictors of the clinical features and for the prognosis of GC, based on an investigation of MSI and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in tumor-related genes.

Poultries including chickens, ducks, geese, and pigeons are widely used in the biological and medical research in many aspects. The genetic quality of experimental poultries directly affects the results of the research. In this study, following electrophoresis analysis and short tandem repeat (STR) scanning, we screened out the microsatellite loci for determining the genetic characteristics of Chinese experimental chickens, ducks, geese, and pigeons.

is designated as a class I carcinogen of human gastric cancer following long-term infection. During this process, bacteria persist in proliferation and death, and release bacterial components that come into contact with gastric epithelial cells and regulate host cell function. However, the impact of long-term exposure to lysate on the pathological changes of gastric cells is not clear.

Cisplatin plays a key role in treating small cell lung cancer (SCLC); however, the rapid development of cisplatin resistance limits its treatment effect. The detailed mechanisms of cisplatin-resistance, particularly in SCLC, remain unclear. We analyzed the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between cisplatin-resistant small cell lung cancer cell line H446/CDDP and its parental cell line H446, using the transcriptome sequencing technique.

Article Synopsis
  • The Mongolian gerbil is an important experimental animal used in research for hearing, cerebrovascular diseases, and infections, but previously lacked gene-editing tools.
  • Researchers have developed an efficient CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing method, successfully creating knockout gerbils targeting specific genes, with high mutation efficiency and no off-target effects.
  • The study found that modifying these genes impacted protein expression and led to significant brain damage, highlighting the potential of this new platform for generating various genetically modified gerbil models for future biomedical research.

Microsatellite instability (MSI) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH), which cause genomic instability, contribute to cancer pathogenesis. However, only few studies have evaluated the association of a single microsatellite locus of the TP53 gene with the mutation spectra of TP53 exons. A total of 256 patients with colorectal cancer were enrolled in the present study.
