RecQ-mediated genome instability 1 (RMI1) has been identified as a novel energy homeostasis-related molecule. While recent studies have suggested that change in RMI1 expression levels in adipose tissue may affect the body's energy balance, no reports have identified the mechanism behind this expression regulation. In the present study, we found that RMI1 expression increased on differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts to adipocytes. In addition, glucose stimulation induced RMI1 expression to approximately eight times the baseline level. Further, knockdown of either E2F5 or E2F8 mRNA using siRNA suppressed this glucose-induced up-regulation of RMI1 expression. These results suggest that RMI1 expression may be regulated by glucose, at least in part, via E2F expression.

PEDV is a highly contagious enteric pathogen that can cause severe diarrhea and death in neonatal pigs. Despite extensive research, the molecular mechanisms of host's response to PEDV infection remain unclear. In this study, differentially expressed genes (DEGs), time-specific coexpression modules, and key regulatory genes associated with PEDV infection were identified.

Heat is a critical environmental stress for plant survival. One of its harmful effects on the cells is the disruption of genome integrity. However, the mechanisms by which plants cope with heat-induced DNA damage remain largely unknown.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The bitter resins in hops (Humulus lupulus) modulate GABA receptors, leading to central nervous system suppression, which induces sedative effects and enhances sleep.
Aim Of The Study: This study intends to explore the sleep-enhancing properties of Hongcheon-hop extract, a hop native to Korea, by analyzing sleep structure and its mechanisms through EEG.
Materials And Methods: A pentobarbital-induced sleep model was used, along with EEG analysis to study sleep architecture.

SUMOylation regulates numerous cellular processes, but what represents the essential functions of this protein modification remains unclear. To address this, we performed genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9-based screens, revealing that the BLM-TOP3A-RMI1-RMI2 (BTRR)-PICH pathway, which resolves ultrafine anaphase DNA bridges (UFBs) arising from catenated DNA structures, and the poorly characterized protein NIP45/NFATC2IP become indispensable for cell proliferation when SUMOylation is inhibited. We demonstrate that NIP45 and SUMOylation orchestrate an interphase pathway for converting DNA catenanes into double-strand breaks (DSBs) that activate the G2 DNA-damage checkpoint, thereby preventing cytokinesis failure and binucleation when BTRR-PICH-dependent UFB resolution is defective.

Background: Increasing evidence has proven that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can aggravate atherosclerosis (AS), and we aimed to explore potential diagnostic genes for patients with AS and RA.
Methods: We obtained the data from public databases, including Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and STRING, and obtained the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and module genes with Limma and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and machine learning algorithms [least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and random forest] were performed to explore the immune-related hub genes.
