To elucidate the potential biological function of hsa_circ_0062270 in the malignant process of melanoma and its potential target. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was conducted to examine relative level of hsa_circ_0062270 in melanoma tissues and normal skin tissues. The diagnostic and prognostic potentials of hsa_circ_0062270 in melanoma were evaluated. The regulatory effect of hsa_circ_0062270 on the expression of linear transcript Cell division cycle protein 45 (CDC45) was also examined. Hsa_circ_0062270 was up-regulated in melanoma samples and cell lines, which displayed certain diagnostic and prognostic potentials in melanoma. Inhibition of hsa_circ_0062270 attenuated the proliferative, migratory and invasive functions. Hsa_circ_0062270 could stabilize the expression of linear transcript CDC45, and thus participated in the malignant process of melanoma. Hsa_circ_0062270 promotes proliferative, migratory and invasive functions of melanoma cells stabilizing the linear transcript CDC45. Hsa_circ_0062270 can be used to diagnosis and treatment of melanoma.

This study aimed to identify splicing quantitative trait loci (cis-sQTL) in Nelore cattle muscle tissue and explore the involvement of spliced genes (sGenes) in immune system-related biological processes. Genotypic data from 80 intact male Nelore cattle were obtained using SNP-Chip technology, while RNA-Seq analysis was performed to measure gene expression levels, enabling the integration of genomic and transcriptomic datasets. The normalized expression levels of spliced transcripts were associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) through an analysis of variance using an additive linear model with the MatrixEQTL package.

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified numerous genetic variants associated with complex traits, yet the biological interpretation remains challenging, especially for variants in non-coding regions. Expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) studies have linked these variations to gene expression, aiding in identifying genes involved in disease mechanisms. Traditional eQTL analyses using bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA-seq) provide tissue-level insights but suffer from signal loss and distortion due to unaddressed cellular heterogeneity.

While the branched DNA (bDNA) assay is an established bioanalytical method for measurement of lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated messenger RNA (mRNA) pharmacokinetic parameters, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) has been considered as an alternative platform. RT-qPCR and bDNA platforms were compared for sensitivity, specificity, correlation, and overall assay performance using serum and tissue samples from 2 nonclinical mouse studies of a therapeutic mRNA candidate, LNP-PAH-mRNA, which encodes for human phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme. Pharmacokinetic parameter noncompartmental analysis was completed using Phoenix WinNonlin.

cis-regulatory elements (CREs) control gene transcription dynamics across cell types and in response to the environment. In asthma, multiple immune cell types play an important role in the inflammatory process. Genetic variants in CREs can also affect gene expression response dynamics and contribute to asthma risk.

Sarcoma (SARC), a diverse group of stromal tumors arising from mesenchymal tissues, is often associated with a poor prognosis. Emerging evidence indicates that senescent cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) significantly contribute to cancer progression and metastasis. Although the influence of senescence on SARC has been partially acknowledged, it has yet to be fully elucidated.
