Published: December 2002

In the present study, we have cloned the cDNA of ABCC13, a novel ABC transporter, from the cDNA library of adult human placenta. The ABCC13 gene spans approximately 70kb on human chromosome 21q11.2 and consists of 14 exons. The open reading frame of the ABCC13 cDNA encodes a peptide consisting of 325 amino acid residues. The amino acid sequence corresponding to putative membrane-spanning domains was remarkably similar to ABCC1, ABCC2, ABCC3, and ABCC6. The ABCC13 gene was expressed in the fetal liver at the highest level among the organs studied. While ABCC13 was expressed in the bone marrow, its expression in peripheral blood leukocytes of adult humans was much lower and no detectable levels were observed in differentiated hematopoietic cells. The expression of ABCC13 in K562 cells decreased during cell differentiation induced by TPA. These results suggest that the expression of human ABCC13 is related with hematopoiesis.

Introduction: Selenium-enriched foxtail millet () represents a functional cereal with significant health benefits for humans. This study endeavors to examine the impact of foliar application of sodium selenite (NaSeO) on foxtail millet, specifically focusing on selenium (Se) accumulation and transportation within various plant tissues.

Methods: To unravel the molecular mechanisms governing selenium accumulation and transportation in foxtail millet, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of selenium content and transcriptome responses in foxtail millet spikelets across different days (3, 5, 7, and 12) under NaSeO treatment (200 μmol/L).

  • * The study examined tissue samples to see if integrated HBV DNA (iDNA) was the main factor behind ongoing pre-S expression in GGHs after antiviral therapy, finding detectable iDNA and specific genetic integrations in many patients.
  • * Long-read sequencing confirmed the presence of varying pre-S deletions across different tissues, suggesting that these deletions may occur after iDNA integration, highlighting the complexity of HBV's effects on liver cells.

It is an important way for healthy Selenium (Se) supplement to transform exogenous Se into organic Se through crops. In the present study, was selected as a test material and sprayed with biological nano selenium (SeNPs) and NaSeO, and its nutrient composition, antioxidant capacity, total Se and organic Se content were determined, respectively. Further, the response of ABC transporter family members in cowpea to different exogenous Se treatments was analyzed by transcriptome sequencing combined with different Se forms.

Objectives: Immunoglobulin-G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a distinct systemic autoimmune-mediated disease manifesting as chronic inflammation and tissue fibrosis. Since the role of DNA methylation in the pathogenesis of IgG4-RD is still unclear, we conduct this study to investigate epigenetic modifications in IgG4-RD.

Methods: A genome-wide DNA methylation study was conducted with B cells, CD4 T cells, and salivary gland tissues from IgG4-RD patients and matched controls by using the Illumina HumanMethylation 850K BeadChip.
