We investigated inhibition of Moloney leukemia virus 10 (MOV10) upon xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) and made a preliminary study of the mechanism of action. Using transfection, infection, western blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction, we found that MOV10 inhibited XMRV replication. Using MOV10 overexpressed in viral producer cells, MOV10 was shown to reduce the infectivity of XMRV. MOV10 could be incorporated into XMRV, suggesting that MOV10 could undergo encapsidation by XMRV during viral assembly. MOV10 could also restrict the DNA production of XMRV in target cells. We found that the putative RNA-helicase domain of MOV10 maintained most of its XMRV inhibition. These results suggest that MOV10 could be required during the retroviral lifecycle. Perturbation of MOV10 disrupts the generation of infectious viral particles, suggesting that MOV10 has broad antiretroviral activity. Hence, MOV10 could be actively involved in host defense against retroviral infection.

Identification and validation of a novel defined stress granule-related gene signature for predicting the prognosis of ovarian cancer via bioinformatics analysis.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a malignant gynecological cancer with an extremely poor prognosis. Stress granules (SGs) are non-membrane organelles that respond to stressors; however, the correlation between SG-related genes and the prognosis of OC remains unclear. This systematic analysis aimed to determine the expression levels of SG-related genes between high- and low-risk groups of patients with OC and to explore the prognostic value of these genes.

This multi-omics study delves into the expression patterns of PIWIL genes and their correlation with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression, utilizing whole transcriptome sequencing, bioinformatics, and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in mice. We identified differential expression levels of PIWIL genes between HCC and control tissues and analyzed their roles within the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network related to regulatory non-coding RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNGS). Our findings showed that Piwil1 and Piwil4 were overexpressed while Piwil2 is underexpressed.

Article Synopsis
- Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is linked to high mortality rates, and the protein S100A16 is suggested to have prognostic importance in this cancer, although its exact mechanism is unclear.
- The study analyzed S100A16 expression in LUAD tissues and cells, revealing that higher levels of S100A16 correlate with poorer patient outcomes and that reducing S100A16 decreases cell growth, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis.
- It was found that S100A16 interacts with the MOV10 protein, stabilizes ITGA3 mRNA, and affects ECM-receptor interactions, ultimately enhancing the aggressive characteristics of LUAD.
Objective: This study investigated the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying the comorbidity patterns of five substance dependence diagnoses (SDs; alcohol, AD; cannabis, CaD; cocaine, CoD; opioid, OD; tobacco, TD).
Methods: A latent class analysis (LCA) was performed on 31,197 individuals (average age 42±11 years; 49% females) from six cohorts to identify comorbid DSM-IV SD patterns. In subsets of this sample, we tested SD-latent classes with respect to polygenic burden of psychiatric and behavioral traits and epigenome-wide changes in three population groups.

The RNA genome of the SARS-CoV-2 virus encodes for four structural proteins, 16 non-structural proteins and nine putative accessory factors. A high throughput analysis of interactions between human and SARS-CoV-2 proteins identified multiple interactions of the structural Nucleocapsid (N) protein with RNA processing factors. The N-protein, which is responsible for packaging of the viral genomic RNA was found to interact with two RNA helicases, UPF1 and MOV10 that are involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
