Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) V617F mutation has been regarded as the major cause of myeloproliferative disorders (MPD). However, the mechanisms of abnormal cell growth by JAK2V617F have not been elucidated. In this study, cell cycle regulatory protein expression was analyzed using JAK2V617F-Ba/F3 and mock-Ba/F3. JAK2V617F-Ba/F3, but not mock-Ba/F3, showed IL-3 independent cell growth and constitutive STATs activation. Deregulation of p27(Kip1), the cell cycle regulator at the G1 to S transition, was observed in JAK2V617F-Ba/F3 but not in mock-control. p27(Kip1) deregulation was not due to p27(Kip1) mRNA level but due to high Skp2 expression, a subunit of ubiquitin E3 ligase, through the STAT binding in the Skp2 promoter. Like JAK2V617F overexpression, constitutively active STAT5 or STAT3 induced aberrant p27(Kip1) expression of Ba/F3 cells. Similar findings were observed in BCR/ABL-transfected Ba/F3. Our results elucidate the regulatory mechanism by which JAK2V617F modulates Skp2 gene expression through the STAT transcription factors.

Arginine methylation is a common post-translational modification that plays critical roles in many biological processes. However, the existence of arginine demethylases that remove the modification has not been fully established. Here, we report that Myc-induced nuclear antigen 53 (Mina53), a member of the jumonji C (JmjC) protein family, is an arginine demethylase.

Tumors are complex ecosystems of interacting cell types. The concept of cancer hallmarks distills this complexity into underlying principles that govern tumor growth. Here, we explore the spatial distribution of cancer hallmarks across 63 primary untreated tumors from 10 cancer types using spatial transcriptomics.

Purpose: To clarify the causal association between cardiovascular proteins and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in Europeans.
Methods: The large genome-wide association study data of cardiovascular proteins and DN were used for this two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. We took the Inverse variance weighted (IVW) as the primary method.
A branching model for intergenerational telomere length dynamics.

Institut universitaire de France (IUF), Paris, France.
We build and study an individual based model of the telomere length's evolution in a population across multiple generations. This model is a continuous time typed branching process, where the type of an individual includes its gamete mean telomere length and its age. We study its Malthusian's behaviour and provide numerical simulations to understand the influence of biologically relevant parameters.

This study indicated that the CCHC-type zinc finger protein PbrZFP719 involves into self-incompatibility by affecting the levels of reactive oxygen species and cellulose content at the tips of pollen tubes. S-RNase-based self-incompatibility (SI) facilitates cross-pollination and prevents self-pollination, which in turn increases the costs associated with artificial pollination in fruit crops. Self S-RNase exerts its inhibitory effects on pollen tube growth by altering cell structures and components, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and cellulose content.
