Effect of exogenous H(2)O(2) and catalase was tested in liquid cultures of the deoxynivalenol and 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol-producing fungus Fusarium graminearum. Accordingly to previous results, H(2)O(2) supplementation of the culture medium leads to increased toxin production. This study indicates that this event seems to be linked to a general up regulation of genes involved in the deoxynivalenol and 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol biosynthesis pathway, commonly named Tri genes. In catalase-treated cultures, toxin accumulation is reduced, and Tri genes expression is significantly down regulated. Furthermore, kinetics of expression of several Tri genes is proposed in relation to toxin accumulation. Biological meanings of these findings are discussed.

Spatially resolved transcriptomics enable comprehensive measurement of gene expression at subcellular resolution while preserving the spatial context of the tissue microenvironment. While deep learning has shown promise in analyzing SCST datasets, most efforts have focused on sequence data and spatial localization, with limited emphasis on leveraging rich histopathological insights from staining images. We introduce GIST, a deep learning-enabled gene expression and histology integration for spatial cellular profiling.

Recently, recurrent variants in the U4 RNA, transcribed from the gene, and in at least two other genes were discovered to cause neurodevelopmental disorder.

PIK3CA, which encodes protein p110α, is one of the most frequently mutated oncogenes and a promising drug-target for human cancer. Previously, we demonstrate that p85β is released from PI3K complex which contain PIK3CA helical domain mutations and translocates into nucleus to regulate tri-methylation of H3K27, thereby promoting tumorigenicity. Here, we identify DIRAS2 and SOWAHB as target genes of nuclear p85β in PIK3CA-helical-domain-mutant tumors.

Background: Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is the main bioactive component of poplar type propolis. We previously reported that treatment with caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) suppressed the cell proliferation, tumor growth, as well as migration and invasion of prostate cancer (PCa) cells via inhibition of signaling pathways of AKT, c-Myc, Wnt and EGFR. We also demonstrated that combined treatment of CAPE and docetaxel altered the genes involved in glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.

Post-translational modifications of histone H3 on lysine 9, specifically acetylation (H3K9ac) and tri-methylation (H3K9me3), play a critical role in regulating chromatin accessibility. However, the role of these modifications in lineage segregation in the mammalian blastocyst remains poorly understood. We demonstrate that di- and tri-methylation marks, H3K9me2 and H3K9me3, decrease during cavitation and expansion of the rabbit blastocyst.
