Micro RNA (miRNAs) is a kind of non coding small RNAs with negative regulation function, which plays an important role in regulating the occurrence and development of tumors. In this study, we analyzed the expression level and role of miRNA-186-5p and Eg5 in neuroblastoma and neuroblastoma cell lines SHSY-5Y, Kelly, NBL-S and SK-N-AS. Results of Real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry showed that the expression level of Eg5 in tumor tissues was higher than that in tumor adjacent tissues, while miRNA-186-5p expression level in tumor tissues was lower than that in tumor adjacent tissues. miRNA-186-5p mimics or Eg5 siRNA was transfected into SHSY-5Y and Kelly cells, CCK-8 and soft agar clone formation tests' results showed that the cell proliferation was inhibited. Flow cytometry analysis of cell apoptosis and cell cycle showed that overexpression of Mi-186-5p or down-regulation of Eg5 could promote cell apoptosis and lead to arrest cell cycle at G1 phase. Bioinformatics predicts that miRNA-186-5p can bind to the 3'UTR of Eg5. Luciferase reporter gene analysis and Western blot assay also confirmed that microRNA335-5p could target ICAM-1 to inhibit its expression. The tumor growth in nude mice inoculated SHSY-5Y cells with overexpression of miRNA-186-5p was inhibited. In a word, our study found that miR-186-5p could inhibit tumor proliferation by targeting Eg5 in neuroblastoma. This finding will help to better understand the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma and provide new insights into the treatment of tumors.

Integration of basal and apical embryo lineage regulators controls F-actin cable integrity and zygote asymmetry in .

In many plants, the asymmetric division of the zygote sets up the apical-basal body axis. In the cress , the zygote coexpresses regulators of the apical and basal embryo lineages, the transcription factors WOX2 and WRKY2/WOX8, respectively. WRKY2/WOX8 activity promotes nuclear migration, cellular polarity, and mitotic asymmetry of the zygote, which are hallmarks of axis formation in many plant species.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from bacteria to insects is widely reported and often associated with the adaptation and diversification of insects. However, compelling evidence demonstrating how HGT-conferred metabolic adjustments enable species to adapt to surrounding environment remains scarce. Dietary specialization is an important ecological strategy adopted by animals to reduce inter- and intraspecific competition for limited resources.

Biophysical constraints limit the specificity with which transcription factors (TFs) can target regulatory DNA. While individual nontarget binding events may be low affinity, the sheer number of such interactions could present a challenge for gene regulation by degrading its precision or possibly leading to an erroneous induction state. Chromatin can prevent nontarget binding by rendering DNA physically inaccessible to TFs, at the cost of energy-consuming remodeling orchestrated by pioneer factors (PFs).

Documented worldwide, impaired immunity is a cardinal signature resulting from loss of dietary zinc, an essential micronutrient. A steady supply of zinc to meet cellular requirements is regulated by an array of zinc transporters. Deletion of the transporter Zip14 (Slc39a14) in mice produced intestinal inflammation.

Purpose: Breast cancer ranks as the most prevalent cancer in women, characterized by heightened fatty acid synthesis and glycolytic activity. Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is prominently expressed in breast cancer cells, regulating fatty acid synthesis, thereby enhancing tumor growth and migration, and leading to radioresistance. This study aims to investigate how FASN inhibition affects cell proliferation, migration, and radioresistance in breast cancer, as well as the mechanisms involved.
