Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play widespread roles in various processes. However, there is still limited understanding of the precise mechanisms through which they regulate early stage cardiomyocyte differentiation. In this study, we identified a specific lncRNA called LHX1-DT, which is transcribed from a bidirectional promoter of LIM Homeobox 1 ...

Chromatin remodeling plays an important role in regulating gene transcription, in which chromatin remodeling complex is a crucial aspect. Brg1/Brm-associated factor 60c (BAF60c) subunit forms a bridge between chromatin remodeling complexes and transcription factors in mammals; hence, it has received extensive attention. However, the roles of BAF60c...

Harnessing the differences between cancer and non-cancer tissues presents new opportunities for selective targeting by anti-cancer drugs. CD13, a heavily glycosylated protein, is one example with significant unmet clinical potential in cancer drug discovery. Despite its high expression and activity in cancers, CD13 is also expressed in many normal ...

Many circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified to be associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. We aim to explore the diagnostic potential, functions, and mechanism of circELMOD3 in HCC. Differentially expressed circRNAs in HCC and its paired adjacent tissues were identified by RNA sequencing. circELMOD3 was downregulated in HC...

The Polycomb group protein SCML2 and the transcriptional cofactor YAP1 regulate diverse cellular biology, including stem cell maintenance, developmental processes, and gene regulation in mammals and flies. However, their molecular and functional interactions are unknown. Here, we show that SCML2 interacts with YAP1, as revealed by immunological ass...

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration and exocrine dysfunction, particularly affecting the salivary gland (SG). We employed single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate cellular heterogeneity in 11 patients with pSS and 5 non-SS controls. Notably, patients with pSS exhibited downregu...

The colonic mucosal barrier protects against infection, inflammation, and tissue ulceration. Composed primarily of Mucin-2, proteolytic erosion of this barrier is an invariant feature of colitis; however, the molecular mechanisms are not well understood. We have applied a recurrent food poisoning model of acquired inflammatory bowel disease using S...

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a refractory condition characterized by the decreased osteogenic ability in tibial pseudarthrosis repair. Periosteal mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs) are multipotent cells involved in bone formation regulation. However, the mechanisms underlying its role in CPT remain unclear. In this study, we observed...

HS3ST3B1-IT1 was identified as a downregulated long noncoding RNA in osteoarthritic cartilage. However, its roles and mechanisms in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) are unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that the expressions of HS3ST3B1-IT1 and its maternal gene HS3ST3B1 were downregulated and positively correlated in osteoarthritic car...
