In this study, we improved a method for rapid determination of viral RNA sequences (RDV) to overcome the limitations of previous versions. The RDV ver4.0 method can detect RNA sequences with at least 1,000 copies as starting material. A novel virus, which was isolated from field-collected Aedes aegypti larvae in the Phasi Charoen district of Thailand using C6/36 cells, was identified using the RDV ver4.0 protocol. The virus was named Phasi Charoen virus (PhaV). We used a high-throughput pyrosequencing approach to obtain more information about the genome sequence of PhaV. Analysis of a phylogenic tree based on amino acid sequences strongly suggested that PhaV belongs to the family Bunyaviridae.

The underlying mechanisms of the association of bone health with depression - an experimental study.

Mol Biol Rep

January 2025

Medical Sociology and Psychobiology, Department of Health and Physical Activity, University of Potsdam, 14469, Potsdam, Germany.

Background: Depression constitutes a risk factor for osteoporosis, but underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms are not fully understood. MiRNAs influence gene expression and are carried by extracellular vesicles (EV), affecting cell-cell communication.

Aims: (1) Identify the difference in miRNA expression between depressed patients and healthy controls; (2) Analyze associations of these miRNAs with bone turnover markers; (3) Analyze target genes of differentially regulated miRNAs and predict associated pathways regarding depression and bone metabolism.

Our aim was to evaluate the regulation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and biological pathways by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in ischemic stroke. We employed weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to construct two co-expression networks for mRNAs with circRNAs and lncRNAs, respectively, to investigate their association with ischemic stroke. We compared the overlap of mRNAs and biological pathways in the stroke-associated modules of the two networks.

A novel aerobic marine bacterium, FRT2, isolated from surface water of a fishing port in Fukui, Japan, was characterised based on phylogenomic and phylogenetic analyses combined with classical phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characterisations. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain FRT2 clustered with genus Leeuwenhoekiella. Closest relatives of FRT2 were Leeuwenhoekiella palythoae KMM 6264 and Leeuwenhoekiella nanhaiensis G18 with 16S rRNA gene sequence identities of 95.

Post-transcriptional regulation of aromatic amino acid metabolism by GcvB small RNA in .

Microbiol Spectr

synthesizes aromatic amino acids (AAAs) through the common pathway to produce the precursor, chorismate, and the three terminal pathways to convert chorismate into Phe, Tyr, and Trp. also imports exogenous AAAs through five transporters. GcvB small RNA post-transcriptionally regulates more than 50 genes involved in amino acid uptake and biosynthesis in , but the full extent of GcvB regulon is still underestimated.
