Hypobaric hypoxia (HH) characteristics induce impaired cognitive function, reduced concentration, and memory. In recent years, an increasing number of people have migrated to high-altitude areas for work and study. Headache, sleep disturbance, and cognitive impairment from HH, severely challenges the physical and mental health and affects their quality of life and work efficiency.

Mechanism about the factors that regulate hTERT-FL splicing is lacking. Through bioinformatics approach, we focus on a candidate splicing factor RBM10, which leads to a switch in hTERT transcripts to generate a function-less isoform hTERT-s in PrCa, suppressed both telomerase activity and subsequent telomere shortening.

Objective: To explore the effect of human sorting nexin 3 (hSNX3) on the morphology and migration of colorectal cancer cells through over-expression of hSNX3 in SW620 cells.
Methods: A lentiviral vector pEZ-Lv201 (pEZ-SV40-eGFP-IRES-Puro) inserted with hSNX3 gene was transferred into SW620 cells to construct and package recombinant lentiviral expression vector pEZ-hSNX3-Lv201. The cell clones stably over-expressing hSNX3 (SW620hSNX3) were screened to observe cell morphology and migration ability using Transwell(TM) assay and wound scratch assay.
