狂牛病を引き起こすプリオン蛋白質の異常化を抑制するRNA分子の開発 --アルツハイマー病の治療への応用の可能性も--. 京都大学プレスリリース. 2020-03-19. / Prion diseases comprise a fatal neuropathy caused by the conversion of prion protein from a cellular (PrPC) to a pathological (PrPSc) isoform. Previously, we obtained an RNA aptamer, r(GGAGGAGGAGGA) (R12), that folds into a unique G-quadruplex. The R12 homodimer ...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the major causes of acute lower respiratory tract infection worldwide. The absence of a commercial vaccine and the limited success of current therapeutic strategies against RSV make further research necessary. We used a multi-cohort analysis approach to investigate host transcriptomic biomarkers and shed ...
Aminoglycosides represent a large group of antibiotics well known for their ability to target the bacterial ribosome. In studying 6&rdquo / -substituted variants of the aminoglycoside tobramycin, we serendipitously found that compounds with C12 or C14 linear alkyl substituents potently inhibit reverse transcription in vitro. Initial observations su...
OBJECTIVES:The number of DNA methylome and RNA transcriptome studies is growing, but investigators have to consider the cell type composition of tissues used. In blood samples, the data reflect the picture of a mixture of different cells. Specialized algorithms can address the cell-type heterogeneity issue. We tested if these corrections are correl...

Guanosine- and uridine-rich single-stranded RNA (GU-rich RNA) is an agonist of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 and TLR8 and induces strong immune responses. A nanostructured GU-rich RNA/DNA assembly prepared using DNA nanotechnology can be used as an adjuvant capable of improving the biological stability of RNA and promoting efficient RNA delivery to ta...
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)&ndash / CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems have revolutionized modern molecular biology. Numerous types of these systems have been discovered to date. Many CRISPR&ndash / Cas systems have been used as a backbone for the development of potent research tools, with Cas9 being the most wid...

Purpose of ReviewAtherosclerosis is characterized by accumulation of lipids and chronic inflammation in medium size to large arteries. Recently, RNA-based antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are being developed, along with small molecule-based drugs and monoclonal antibodies, for the treatment of risk factors assoc...
This dataset is supplementary to the submitted research by Ref. [1]. RNAs were extracted from high molecular weight complexes, prepared with 100 kDa filtration of HEK293 Tet-on cells stably transfected with either F-HA-Txnip-V5-His or control vector. Cells were stimulated with 1 μg/mL doxycycline for 24 h, followed by overnight stimulation with 100...
PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs essential for fertility. In adult mouse testes, most piRNAs are derived from long single-stranded RNAs lacking annotated open reading frames (ORFs). The mechanisms underlying how piRNA sequences are defined during the cleavages of piRNA precursors remain elusive. Here, we show that...
