Abstract

We previously constructed AdEasy system for rapid generation of recombinant adenovirus expressing coding genes. However, it is unclear if AdEasy system could be used for exogenously expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Here we investigated how to overexpress lncRNA H19 with AdEasy system and identified the effect of overexpression H19 on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) osteogenic differentiation. H19 fragment 1 and H19 fragment 2 were amplified from mouse genomic DNA separately and then connected for full-length H19. H19 was firstly subcloned to homemade pMOK plasmid, then H19 was cut off from pMOK-H19 and subcloned to recombinant adenovirus plasmid. After homologous recombination in AdEasier cells (BJ5183 cell), packing in mammalian packaging cell line and amplification in 293pTP cells, high titer AdH19 was obtained. Immortalized mouse adipose-derived progenitors (iMADs) were infected by AdH19 with different infection rate, the expression of H19, H19 related microRNAs (miRs) and osteogenic differentiation markers were determined by TqPCR. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities and matrix mineralization were determined by ALP assays and Alizarin red S staining respectively. AdEasy system was suitable for rapid generation a...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
