Published: August 2007

The mammalian intestinal epithelium is a rapidly self-renewing tissue in the body, and its homeostasis is preserved through strict regulation of epithelial cell proliferation, growth arrest, and apoptosis. Polyamines are necessary for normal intestinal mucosal growth and decreasing cellular polyamines inhibits cell proliferation and disrupts epithelial integrity. An increasing body of evidence indicates that polyamines regulate intestinal epithelial cell renewal by virtue of their ability to modulate expression of various genes and that growth inhibition following polyamine depletion results primarily from the activation of growth-inhibiting genes rather than a simple decrease in expression of growth-promoting genes. In this review article, we will focus on changes in expression of growth-inhibiting genes following polyamine depletion and further analyze in some detail the mechanisms through which mRNA stability is regulated by RNA-binding proteins.

: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the involvement of ferroptosis in its pathological mechanism. In this study, the effects and mechanism of BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) on neuronal ferroptosis in PD were evaluated. : A PD mouse model was constructed by injecting mice with MPTP.

Alternative splicing (AS) is a mechanism that generates translational diversity within a genome. Equally important is the dynamic adaptability of the splicing machinery, which can give preference to one isoform over others encoded by a single gene. These isoform preferences change in response to the cell's state and function.

Background: The sustained activation of androgen receptor splice variant-7 (AR-V7) is a key factor in the resistance of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) to second-generation anti-androgens such as enzalutamide (ENZ). The AR/AR-V7 protein is regulated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase STUB1 and a complex involving HSP70, but the precise mechanism remains unclear.

Methods: High-throughput RNA sequencing was used to identify differentially expressed circular RNAs (circRNAs) in ENZ-resistant and control CRPC cells.

Purine-rich element binding protein alpha: a DNA/RNA binding protein with multiple roles in cancers.

Proteins that bind to DNA/RNA are typically evolutionarily conserved with multiple regulatory functions in transcription initiation, mRNA translation, stability of RNAs, and RNA splicing. Therefore, dysregulation of DNA/RNA binding proteins such as purine-rich element binding protein alpha (PURα) disrupts signaling transduction and often leads to human diseases including cancer. PURα was initially recognized as a tumor suppressor in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and prostate cancer (PC).
