Objective: To investigate the role of nesprin-1 in mouse embryonic stem cells differentiation into cardiomyocyte.

Methods: Hanging drop-suspension-adherence method was applied for the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into cardiomyocytes under the inducing of salvia miltorrhiza and 5-azacytidine. Changes in nesprin-1 gene expression were detected by using Western blotting and immunofluorescent assay. RNA interference was used to reduce nesprin-1 protein levels to further investigate the importance of nesprin-1 in mouse embryonic stem cells differentiation, group I (target sequence AAAGCCAAGCACGCAACTA), group II (target sequence GGGAACCAACAGTGAGATT), group III (target sequence ACCAGGACATTGCGTACTA), and group IV (control group).

Results: The nesprin-1 isoform profile was altered in mouse embryonic stem cells differentiation. The rates of differentiation of the four groups were (17.78 +/- 1.92)%, (36.67 +/- 3.34)%, (44.42 +/- 5.08)%, (77.78 +/- 1.92)%; The rate of differentiation of group IV was higher than RNAi groups and the difference was significant (P < 0.05). In addition, compared with the control group, myosin in RNAi groups were dramatically reduced.

Conclusion: Nesprin-1 played important roles in mouse embryonic stem cells differentiation into cardiomyocyte. Nesprin-1 isoforms might perform different functions in the process of mouse embryonic stem cells differentiation.

Preimplantation embryonic development is orchestrated by dynamic changes in the proteome and transcriptome, regulated by mechanisms such as maternal-to-zygotic transition. Here, we employed label-free quantitative proteomics to comprehensively analyze proteome dynamics from germinal vesicle oocytes to blastocysts in mouse embryos. We identified 3490 proteins, including 715 consistently detected across all stages, revealing stage-specific changes in proteins associated with translation, protein modification, and mitochondrial metabolism.

Background: Uncontrolled severe eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (eCRS) is associated with elevated levels of Th2 cells and raised immunoglobulin concentrations in nasal polyp tissue. eCRS is characterized by high eosinophilic infiltration and type 2 inflammation. Gαi1/3 proteins participate in allergic inflammation by regulating immune cells.

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have gained interest as drug delivery carriers due to their efficient cellular internalization and increased therapeutic effect of the loaded drug, with minimal side effects. Although recently several studies have shown the possibility to administer SLNs during pregnancy to vehicle mRNA to the placenta, data about the effect of premating exposure to SLNs on pregnancy outcome are scant. Considering that assumption of drug-delivering nanocarriers in reproductive age may potentially affect women's reproductive health, the aim of the present study was to evaluate whether repeated oral administration of SLNs to female mice prior to mating would influence key pregnancy outcomes.

Background: Spermatogonia are essential for the continual production of sperm and regeneration of the entire spermatogenic lineage after injury. In mammals, spermatogonia are formed in the neonatal testis from prospermatogonia (also termed gonocytes), which are established from primordial germ cells during fetal development. Currently, the molecular regulation of the prospermatogonial to spermatogonia transition is not fully understood.

Random X-chromosome inactivation is a hallmark of female mammalian somatic cells. This epigenetic mechanism, mediated by the long noncoding RNA Xist, occurs in the early embryo and is stably maintained throughout life, although inactivation is lost during primordial germ cell (PGC) development. Using a combination of single-cell allele-specific RNA sequencing and low-input chromatin profiling on developing mouse PGCs, we provide a detailed map of X-linked gene reactivation.
