Certain E2F transcription factor species play a pivotal role in regulating cell-cycle progression. The activity of E2F1, a protein with neoplastic transforming activity when unregulated, is tightly controlled at the transcriptional level during G0 exit. In addition, during this interval, the stability of endogenous E2F1 protein increased markedly. E2F1 stability also was dynamically regulated during myogenic differentiation and in response to gamma irradiation. One or more retinoblastoma family proteins likely participate in the stability process, because simian virus 40 T antigen disrupted E2F1 stability regulation during G1 exit in a manner dependent on its ability to bind to pocket proteins. Thus, endogenous E2F1 function is regulated by both transcriptional and posttranscriptional control mechanisms.

Immune surveillance depends in part on the recognition of peptide variants by T cell antigen receptors. Given that both normal B cells and malignant B cells accumulate mutations we chose a murine model of multiple myeloma to test conditions to induce cell-mediated immunity targeting malignant plasma cell (PC) clones but sparing of normal PCs. Revealing a previously unknown function for intracellular C3d, we found that C3d engaged T cell responses against malignant PC in the bone marrow of mice that had developed multiple myeloma spontaneously.

Nucleostemin (NS) plays a role in liver regeneration, and aging reduces its expression in the baseline and regenerating livers following 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx). Here we interrogate the mechanism controlling NS expression during liver regeneration and aging. The NS promoter was analyzed by TRANSFAC.

Many studies support the idea that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are significantly involved in the process of cardiomyocyte (CM) regeneration following a myocardial infarction (MI). This study aimed to systematically review the emerging role of lncRNAs in cardiac regeneration by promoting CM proliferation after MI. Furthermore, the review summarized potential targets and the underlying mechanisms of lncRNAs to induce heart regeneration, suggesting utilizing lncRNAs as innovative therapeutic targets for mitigating MI injuries.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute a distinctive subset of RNA molecules with limited protein-coding potential, which exert crucial impacts on various biological activities. In the context of cancer, dysregulated lncRNAs function as essential regulators that affect tumor initiation and malignant progression. These lncRNAs serve as competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) through sponging microRNAs and regulating the expression of targeted genes.
