To understand the changes in mRNA expression during the embryonic development of the external mouse ear after the point mutation of the Prkra gene, Prkra short ear mouse model was used to study the development of the embryonic external ear. The tissues of the embryonic external ear were obtained when mouse embryos developed to E15.5 and E17.5. The changes in the mRNA expression profile were detected and analyzed. Find_circ and CIRI2 softwares were used to identify the upregulated and down-regulated expression of mRNA in the experimental and control groups. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes functional annotations were conducted on the differentially expressed mRNA, and the related signal pathways were analyzed after the upregulation and down-regulation of mRNA expression. This study aimed to understand the regulation of mRNA expression in Prkra short-ear mice during the external ear development in embryos. The results showed a correlation between abnormally expressed mRNA and signal pathways and the regulation of the development of the external ear of Prkra short-ear mice, and there were differences in some key regulatory mRNA changes after the Prkra gene point mutation. This study will provide a new clue for the mechanism of mRNA regulating the development of the external mouse ear. The change in mRNA expression profile can also provide clues for studying the biological regulation mechanism of external ear embryonic development.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is associated with morphological and functional impairment of the heart primarily due to lipid toxicity caused by increased fatty acid metabolism. Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) have been implicated in the metabolism of fatty acids in the liver and skeletal muscles. However, their role in the heart in diabetes remains unclear.

Background: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a gestational disorder that significantly endangers maternal and fetal health. Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA)-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are important in the progression and diagnosis of various diseases. However, their role in the development of PE is unclear.

The nucleocapsid (N) protein is the most expressed protein in later stages of SARS-CoV-2 infection with several important functions. It is translated from a subgenomic mRNA (sgmRNA) formed by template switching during transcription. A recently described translation initiation site (TIS) with a CTG codon in the leader sequence (TIS-L) is out of frame with most structural and accessory genes including the N gene and may act as a translation suppressor.

Canids act as a crucial intermediary in the transmission of rabies and , serving as co-infection hosts and pathogen carriers for both rabies and hydatid disease (HD) transmitted from animals to humans. Therefore, an effective and efficient bivalent oral vaccine for preventing HD and rabies is urgently required to reduce economic losses in husbandry resulting from rabies and HD. In this study, a full-length plasmid (pcDNA4-NPM+G+EgM123+eGFP+L) carrying the gene and fluorescence reporter genes of eGFP and four auxiliary transfection plasmids of rabies virus SRV (pcDNA4-N, pcDNA4-P, pcDNA4-G, pcDNA-L) were established by reverse genetics approaches and co-transfected to BSR cells by electrotransfection.

Background/objectives: Diet composition is important for health, especially during critical periods such as pre-gestation (P), gestation (G), or lactation (S), due to its potential impact not only on the mother but on the offspring. The Mediterranean diet includes many healthy foods rich in fiber and/or polyphenols, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, and nuts. The present preclinical study assesses the impact of a diet rich in fiber and polyphenols (HFP diet) during one of those three periods (P, G, or S, three weeks each) on the rat gene expression of the small intestine obtained at the end of the lactation period.
