Background: The lncRNAs has been linked to several malignancies, including breast cancer. Our objective was to investigate the impact of urothelial carcinoma associated 1 () on cellular growth and death by a CRISPR/Cas9 knockdown technique.

Methods: In 2020, the CHOPCHOP program was utilized to design two sgRNAs targeting the ne. sgRNA1 and sgRNA2 were inserted into two different CRISPR plasmids to produce two recombinant plasmids. These recombinant plasmids were simultaneously transfected into MCF-7 and MDA-MB 231 carcinoma of the breast cells. Proliferation and apoptosis were compared using the MTT test, CCK-8 assay, and flow cytometry evaluation. RNA-hybrid software, quantitative reverse transcription PCR, and luciferase assays were utilized to confirm the relationship between and miR-143.

Results: Proliferated cells were less active in MTT and CCK-8 tests and fellow cytometry analysis. The PX459-sgRNA1,2 group had elevated levels of the cancer biomarker gene expression (<0.001). When WT- and miR-143 were co-transfected, the luciferase activity was drastically decreased.

Conclusion: One very effective method of regulating cellular proliferation in vitro is the deletion of , which CRISPR/Cas9 accomplishes.

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.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a pivotal role in bacterial evolution, shaping the genetic diversity of bacterial populations. It can occur through mechanisms such as conjugation, transduction, and natural transformation. , a model Gram-positive bacterium, serves not only as a robust system for studying HGT but also as a versatile organism with established industrial applications, such as producing industrial enzymes, antibiotics, and essential metabolites.

Bile salt hydrolase (BSH), a probiotic-related enzyme with cholesterol-assimilating and anti-hypercholesterolemic abilities, has been isolated from intestinal bacteria; however, BSH activity of bacteria in bile-salt-free (non-intestinal) environments is largely unknown. Here, we aimed to identify BSH from non-intestinal and characterize its enzymatic function. We successfully isolated a plasmid-encoded () from , and the recombinant EfpBSH showed BSH activity that preferentially hydrolyzed taurine-conjugated bile salts, unlike the activity of known BSHs.

Background: Cow's milk represents an important protein source. Here, especially casein proteins are important components, which might be a promising source of alternative protein production by microbial expression systems. Nevertheless, caseins are difficult-to-produce proteins, making heterologous production challenging.
