Twenty-three histone methyltransferase genes were obtained from transcriptome dataset of Lonicera japonica. The nucleotide and proteins characteristics, subcellular localization, senior structural domains and conservative forecasting were analyzed. The result of phylogenetic tree showed that 23 histone methyltransferases were mainly divided into two groups: lysine methyltransferase and arginine methyltransferases. The result of gene expression showed that 23 histone methyltransferases showed preference in terms of interspecies and organs. They were more expressed in buds of L. japonica than in L. japonica var. chinensis and lower in leaves of L. japonica than in L. japonica var. chinensis. Eight genes were specific expressed in flower. These results provided basis for further understanding the function of histone methyltransferase and epigenetic regulation of active ingredients of L. japonica.

R-loops are critical structures that play pivotal roles in regulating genomic stability and modulating gene expression. This study investigates the interactions between the 5-methylcytosine (mC) methyltransferase NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase 2 (NSUN2) and R-loops in the transcriptional dynamics and damage repair process of bladder cancer (BCa) cells. We observed markedly elevated levels of R-loops in BCa cells relative to normal urothelial cells.

Objective: To explore the influence of SALL4 in cardiac fibroblasts on the progression of myocardial infarction.
Methods: Analysis of genes specifically expressed in myocardial infarction by bioinformatics methods; The impact of SALL4 on myocardial infarction was assessed using mouse ultrasound experiments and Masson staining; The effect of SALL4 on the expression levels of collagen-I and collagen-III in myocardial tissue was examined by immunohistochemical staining; The migration ability of cardiac fibroblasts was evaluated using a Transwell assay; The proliferative ability of cardiac fibroblasts was tested using a CCK-8 assay; The relative fluorescence intensity of α-SMA and CTGF in cardiac fibroblasts were checked through immunofluorescence staining experiment; The expression of SALL4, DOT1L, H3K79me2, P53, SHP2, YAP, nucleus-YAP, collagen-I, α-SMA, CTGF, and PAI-1 in myocardial tissues or cardiac fibroblasts was detected using western blot analysis.
Results: SALL4-specific high expression in myocardial infarction; SALL4 intensified the alterations in the heart structure of mice with myocardial infarction and worsened the fibrosis of myocardial infarction; SALL4 also promoted the expression of SALL4, DOT1L, H3K79me2, P53, SHP2, YAP, nucleus-YAP, collagen-I, collagen-III, α-SMA, CTGF, and PAI-1 in myocardial infarction tissues and cardiac fibroblasts; Subsequently, SALL4 could enhance the immunofluorescence intensity of α-SMA and CTGF; Moreover, SALL4 could promote the proliferation and migration of cardiac fibroblasts.

This study investigated the expression profiles of microRNA-like RNAs (milRNAs) in (), a key pathogen causing Apple replant disease (ARD), across spore to mycelium formation stages. Using small RNA sequencing (sRNA-seq) and bioinformatics, we identified and analyzed milRNAs, revealing their targeting of 2364 mRNAs involved in 20 functional categories, including metabolic and cellular processes, based on gene ontology (GO) analysis. An analysis of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) showed that these mRNAs are related to carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism pathways.

Single cell transcriptomics of the cerebral cortex of mice lacking the PRC2 gene eed.

Objective: The Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) regulates neural stem cell behaviour during development of the cerebral cortex, yet how the loss of PRC2 developmentally influences cell identity in the mature brain is poorly defined. Using a mouse model in which the PRC2 gene Embryonic ectoderm development (Eed) was conditionally deleted from the developing mouse dorsal telencephalon, we performed single nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) on the cortical plate of an adult heterozygote Eed knockout mouse and an adult homozygote Eed knockout mouse compared to a littermate control. This work was part of a larger effort to understand consequences of mutations to PRC2 within the mature brain.
