Angiotensinogen (AGT) is the unique substrate of all angiotensin peptides. We review the recent preclinical research of AGT antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), a rapidly evolving therapeutic approach. The scope of the research findings not only opens doors for potentially new therapeutics of hypertension and many other diseases, but also provides insights into understanding critical physiological and pathophysiological roles mediated by AGT.

The translational landscape of HIV-1 infected cells reveals key gene regulatory principles.

Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) uses a number of strategies to modulate viral and host gene expression during its life cycle. To characterize the transcriptional and translational landscape of HIV-1 infected cells, we used a combination of ribosome profiling, disome sequencing and RNA sequencing. We show that HIV-1 messenger RNAs are efficiently translated at all stages of infection, despite evidence for a substantial decrease in the translational efficiency of host genes that are implicated in host cell translation.

The article provides a thorough and up-to-date analysis of the role that microRNAs (miRNAs) within the realm of cancer therapy, paying specific attention to their diagnostic, prognostic as well as therapeutic capabilities. The miRNAs (small non-coding RNAs) are the current major genes that regulate gene expression. They are a key factor in the genesis of cancer.

As a promising anti-tumor modality, photodynamic immunotherapy (PDIT) has been applied for the treatment of many solid tumors. However, tumor hypoxic condition and immunosuppressive microenvironment severely limit the treatment outcome of PDIT. Here, we have designed a hairpin tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (H-TDN)-modified bifunctional cascaded Pt single-atom nanozyme (PCFP@H-TDN) with encapsulation of the photosensitizer.

The CDKN2A gene, responsible for encoding the tumor suppressors p16(INK4A) and p14(ARF), is frequently inactivated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Herein, an uncharacterized long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) (ENSG00000267053) on chromosome 19p13.12 was found to be overexpressed in NSCLC cells with an active, wild-type CDKN2A gene.
