The human FUT8 gene is implicated in crucial developmental stages and is overexpressed in some tumors and other malignant diseases. Based on three different experiments we have assigned the FUT8 gene to chromosome bands 14q23.2-->q24.1 and not 14q24.3 as previously shown (Yamaguchi et al., 1999). We found a high degree of identity between human and chicken FUT8 sequences. We mapped the chicken FUT8 gene to chromosome 5q1.4 in an internal rearrangement of a region of conserved synteny described between human 14q and chicken chromosome 5. Based on these findings we propose a new gene position correspondence between chicken and human comparative maps.

FUT8 upregulates CD36 and its core fucosylation to accelerate pericyte-myofibroblast transition through the mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis pathway during AKI-CKD.

Background: Activation of pericytes leads to renal interstitial fibrosis, but the regulatory mechanism of pericytes in the progression from AKI to CKD remains poorly understood. CD36 activation plays a role in the progression of CKD. However, the significance of CD36 during AKI-CKD, especially in pericyte, remains to be fully defined.

Lvliang black goat (LBG) is an excellent local breed resource in China that is known for its black fur, excellent meat quality, and strong adaptability. Studying the genetic mechanism and germplasm characteristics of LBG can provide theoretical and practical basis for the protection of the genetic resources of this breed and help implement conservation and breeding. In this study, the genetic diversity of the LBG population was evaluated using whole-genome SNP data.

Recent findings in glycobiology revealed direct evidence of the involvement of oligosaccharide changes in human diseases, including liver diseases. Fucosylation describes the attachment of a fucose residue to a glycan or glycolipid. We demonstrated that fucosylated proteins are useful serum biomarkers for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Genetic engineering plays an essential role in the development of cell lines for biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Advanced gene editing tools can improve both the productivity of recombinant cell lines as well as the quality of therapeutic antibodies. Antibody glycosylation is a critical quality attribute for therapeutic biologics because the glycan patterns on the antibody fragment crystallizable (Fc) region can alter its clinical efficacy and safety as a therapeutic drug.

Background: While rabbits are used as models in skin irritation tests, the presence of irregular patches and thickening on the dorsal skin can affect precise evaluation. In this study, genes associated with patchiness or non-patchiness on the dorsal skin of New Zealand rabbits were investigated to identify potential regulators of the patchiness phenotype.
Results: The results showed that parameters associated with hair follicles (HFs), such as HF density, skin thickness, and HF depth, were augmented in rabbits with the patchiness phenotype relative to the non-patchiness phenotype.
