Background: LE-RIN encodes the RIN (Ripening Inhibitor) transcription factor belonging to the MADS (Mcm1, Agamous, Deficiens, Srf) box family and regulates tomato ripening. The RIN transcription factor plays an indispensable role in ethylene biosynthesis. In the study, we respectively evaluated gene expressions and enzymatic activities of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO) and ethylene production to understand the transcriptional regulation of RIN transcription factor in ethylene biosynthesis.

Results: RIN transcription factor generates strong or weak induction of the expression of LE-ACS2, LE-ACS4 and LE-ACO1 associated with ethylene biosynthesis. Exogenous ethylene could positively affect gene expression of mature green AC tomato fruit compared with the control, including LE-ACS2, LE-ACO1 and LE-ACO4. However, LE-ACS6 expression was negatively affected by RIN transcription factor and high ethylene production. Accordingly, the activities of ACC synthase and ACC oxidase and ethylene production were also changed.

Conclusion: RIN transcription factor has an impact upon ethylene biosynthesis via regulating transcription of LE-ACS2, LE-ACS4, LE-ACO1 and LE-ACS6. These results will help to further clarify the mechanism of tomato fruit development and ripening, and to maintain quality and prolong shelf life of tomato fruit.

In the early stages, chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be asymptomatic, marking diagnosis difficult. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic role and potential regulatory mechanisms of nucleolar protein 14 (NOP14) -antisense RNA 1 (AS1) in patients with CKD. Herein, 68 patients with CKD, 65 patients with CKD undergoing peridialysis, and 80 healthy adults were included.

Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is a common malignant oral cancer characterized by substantial invasion, a high rate of lymph node and distant metastasis, and a high recurrence rate. This study aims to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of TSCC patients by exploring the related mechanisms that affect the migration and invasion of TSCC and inhibit the migration and spread of cancer cells. The results indicated the rate of high expression of IL-17 in cancer tissues was greater than that in tongue tissues, and the expression of IL-17 was related to the TNM stage.

Aedes mosquitoes transmit pathogenic arthropod-borne (arbo) viruses, putting nearly half the world's population at risk. Blocking virus replication in mosquitoes is a promising approach to prevent arbovirus transmission, the development of which requires in-depth knowledge of virus-host interactions and mosquito immunity. By integrating multi-omics data, we find that heat shock factor 1 (Hsf1) regulates eight small heat shock protein (sHsp) genes within one topologically associated domain in the genome of the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

In our research, we performed temporal transcriptomic profiling of host cells infected with Equid alphaherpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) by utilizing direct cDNA sequencing based on nanopore MinION technology. The sequencing reads were harnessed for transcript quantification at various time points. Viral infection-induced differential gene expression was identified through the edgeR package.
