Allelic loss on chromosome 3p occurs frequently in esophageal cancer. The human ribosomal protein L14 gene (RPL14) is located on chromosome 3p21.3. In the present study, we investigated alteration of RPL14 at both the genomic DNA and RNA levels in 129 Chinese esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) and 17 dysplasia adjacent to tumor tissues by a combination of tissue microdissection, microsatellite analysis of the intragenic marker, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and direct sequencing. In the tested informative cases, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of RPL14 was observed in 29 out of 68 (43%) tumors. Decreased expression of the gene was detected in 31 out of 49 (63%) carcinomas. No mutation was found in the remaining RPL14 allele of the tumors with LOH. We examined subsequently the allelic status of RPL14 in the dysplasia (preneoplastic lesions) between malignant tissues and histologically normal epithelia. Of 17 tested dysplasia in which the tumors showed LOH, eight (47%) displayed the same allelic loss as their corresponding tumors, seven (41%) exhibited microsatellite instability (MSI), and only two retained both the RPL14 alleles. The data suggest that alteration of RPL14 occurred frequently in ESCC and might be an earlier event in the tumorigenesis of the esophagus. Analysis to RPL14 gene may contribute to the early detection of ESCC as a potential molecular marker.

Sustenance of ischemia in the surviving cardiac tissue following myocardial infarction (MI) elicits a proinflammatory milieu resulting in subsequent pathological episodes. Also, the activation and release of ribosomal proteins under ischemic insults have been unveiled; however, their extra ribosomal functions are unknown. We identified the ribosomal proteins including RPL10A, RPL14, RPL30, RPS18, FAU-40 (RPS30), and RPSA (Laminin Receptor, LR) in the vesicles of ischemia challenged epicardial adipose tissue derived stromal cells (EATDS).

Introduction: Colorectal cancer ranks as the third most common cancer in both men and women, with approximately 35% of cases being stage IV metastatic at diagnosis. Even with treatment advancements, the survival rates for these patients remain suboptimal. There is a significant focus on developing multi-targeted therapies due to the common issue of drug resistance in standard and targeted cancer treatments.

Obesity's complex etiology due to the interplay of environment and genetics makes it a more challenging research and health problem. Some of the contributing genetic factors that have not yet been examined in detail entail mRNA polyadenylation (PA). Genes with multiple PA sites express mRNA isoforms differing in coding sequence or 3'UTR through alternative polyadenylation (APA).

Article Synopsis
- A rare population of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), known as 2-cell-like cells, is characterized by specific gene expressions related to early embryonic stages.
- This study highlights the importance of certain ribosomal proteins (RPs) in maintaining the identity of these mESCs and regulating the expression of early-stage specific genes.
- Disruption of these RPs leads to changes in gene expression and chromatin structure, primarily involving the activation of pathways linked to the P53 protein and its downstream effects on 2C transcript expression.
