Objective: To establish a nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell line with stable EIF4G1 gene silencing induced by small interfering RNA (siRNA).
Methods: The EIF4G1 mRNA levels in 8 NPC cell lines including 5-8F, 6-10B, C666-1, CNE1, CNE2, HNE1, HONE1, and SUNE1 were detected by fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR (QRT-PCR). The recombinant lentivirus shRNA expression plasmid targeting EIF4G1 gene was packaged into mature lentivirus by 293FT cells and used to infect 5-8F cells. After blasticidin selection of NPC cells with constant expression of the EIF4G1-siRNA, the efficiency of EIF4G1 mRNA expression interference was determined using QRT-PCR.
Results: The 8 NPC cell lines showed differential expression of EIF4G1 mRNA, among which 5-8F cells had the highest EIF4G1 expression. The recombinant lentivirus plasmid pLenti6/BLOCK-iT-DEST/EIF4G1-shRNA was successfully constructed and verified by PCR and sequencing. The EIF4G1 mRNA level of 5-8F cells infected with shRNA-EIF4G1 lentivirus was significantly reduced as compared with the negative control and the blank control cells.
Conclusion: The recombinant lentivirus vector pLenti6/BLOCK- iT-DEST/EIF4G1-shRNA we constructed results in marked downregulation of EIF4G1 mRNA expression and constant expression of EIF4G1-siRNA after infection of 5-8F cells.

Guanine-rich nucleic acid sequences can exert sequence and/or structure specific activities to influence biological and pathobiological cellular processes. As such, it has been reported that different G-rich oligonucleotides (both DNA and RNA) can have cytotoxic as well as cytoprotective effects to the cells. However, the mechanisms of such a biological outcome are unclear.

Protein translation is globally downregulated under stress conditions. Many proteins that are synthesized under stress conditions use a cap-independent translation initiation pathway. A subset of cellular mRNAs that encode for these proteins contain stable secondary structures within their 5'UTR, and initiate cap-independent translation using elements called cap-independent translation enhancers or internal ribosome entry sites within their 5'UTRs.

Arginine-glycine-glycine motif proteins play a crucial role in determining mRNA fate. Suppressor of clathrin deficiency 6 (Scd6) is a conserved arginine-glycine-glycine motif containing ribonucleoprotein (RNP) condensate-resident, translation repressor, and decapping activator protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Identifying protein factors that can modulate Scd6 function is critical to understanding the regulation of mRNA fate by Scd6.

Viruses can selectively repress the translation of mRNAs involved in the antiviral response. RNA viruses exploit the Grb10-interacting GYF (glycine-tyrosine-phenylalanine) proteins 2 (GIGYF2) and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) homologous protein 4EHP to selectively repress the translation of transcripts such as , which encodes the antiviral cytokine interferon-β (IFN-β). Herein, we reveal that GIGYF1, a paralog of GIGYF2, robustly represses cellular mRNA translation through a distinct 4EHP-independent mechanism.

Essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are common chronic movement disorders that can cause a substantial degree of disability. However, the etiology underlying these two conditions remains poorly understood. In the present study, Whole-exome sequencing of peripheral blood samples from the proband and Sanger sequencing of the other 18 family members, and pedigree analysis of four generations of 29 individuals with both ET and PD in a nonconsanguineous Chinese family were performed.
