AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
TRUE gene silencing is one of the gene suppression technologies. This technology exploits the enzymatic property of the tRNA 3' processing endoribonuclease tRNase Z, which is that it can cleave a target RNA under the direction of a small guide RNA (sgRNA). We have been working on the development of therapeutic sgRNAs for hematological malignancies. In the course of an experiment to examine the ability of the heptamer-type sgRNA H15792 targeting the OCT4 mRNA to differentiate human amnion stem cells, we observed unexpectedly that the amnion cells exhibited a morphology resembling initialized cells. Here we investigated the effect of H15792 on human HL60 leukemia cells, and found that H15792 can upregulate the OCT4 expression and the expression of alkaline phosphatase in the cells.

Pig production through crossbreeding methods is a pillar of the swine industry; however, research on the fertilization ability of male pigs in crossbreeds is lacking. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of Duroc sperm (DS) and Landrace sperm (LS) on fertility in Yorkshire × Landrace × Duroc (YLD) oocytes. Sperm were collected from the Duroc and Landrace species, and sperm characteristics, viability, and acrosome reactions were analyzed using flow cytometry.

However, differentiation protocols are time-consuming, and not all tissues have been studied. Few works are available regarding pancreatic exocrine differentiation of iPS cells, and little is known on culturing and cryopreserving these cells.

To explore the specific role and molecular mechanism of octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4) in promoting the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and radioresistance. The Gene Expression Profile Data Dynamic Analysis (GEPIA) database was used to analyze the expression differences of the Oct4 gene in different types of tumor tissues and their corresponding adjacent normal tissues. The clinical data and surgical resection tissue specimens of 196 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received surgery combined with radiotherapy at Henan Provincial Chest Hospital from January 2013 to May 2022 were collected.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a global cancer related to the sixth largest cause of death. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have affected the progress of ESCC during recent years, but the mechanism is not completely clear. So here we probed the effects of hsa_circ_0096710 (circ_0096710) in ESCC.

Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) arises from prostate adenocarcinoma after endocrine treatment failure and implies lethality and limited therapeutic options. Deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying transdifferentiation from adenocarcinoma to NEPC may provide valuable therapeutic strategies. We performed a pan-cancer differential mRNA abundance analysis and identified that Kinesin-like protein (KIF1A) was highly expressed in NEPC.
