The tet-regulatable promoter system is commonly used for genetic studies in many eukaryotic organisms. The promoter is regulated using doxycycline. There are no obvious phenotypic effects observed when doxycycline is added to the growth medium of yeast to control expression from the promoter. It is widely accepted that doxycycline is innocuous to yeast. Global genetic studies are now commonplace and the tetO-system is being used in transcriptome studies. Hence, we wanted to ensure that the absence of phenotypic effects, on addition of doxycycline to the growth medium, is mirrored in transcriptome data. We have demonstrated that doxycycline has no significant effect on global transcription levels and will continue to use the tetO-regulatable promoter system for genetic studies.

Background: Repetitive neonatal painful procedures experienced in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are known to alter the development of the nociceptive system and have long-lasting consequences. Recent evidence indicates that NICU stay affects the methylation of the opioid receptor mu 1 encoding gene (Mor-1). Additionally, a preclinical model of neonatal procedural pain established lower adult post-operative MOR-1 levels in the spinal cord.

To meet the requirements of the biopharmaceutical industry, improving the yield of recombination therapeutic protein (RTP) from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells is necessary. The human cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter is widely used for RTP expression in CHO cells. To further improve RTP production, we truncated the human CMV intron and further evaluated the effect of four synthetic introns, including ctEF-1α first, EF-1α first, chimeric, and β-globin introns combined with the CMV promoter on recombinant expression levels in transient and stably recombinant CHO cells.

NMD-controlled RNA degradation acts to regulate a large fraction of the mRNA population. It has been implicated in cellular responses to infections and environmental stress, as well as in deregulation of tumor-promoting genes.
