Abstract

MALAT1 was discovered as a prognostic marker for lung cancer metastasis and has been found upregulated in many types of tumor, but its transcriptional regulation mechanism in tumors remains unclear. A deletion analysis of MALAT1 promoter region was performed to find the cis elements that were critical for the transcriptional activation of MALAT1 gene. Reporter gene assays were employed to analyze the effect of Sp1 on the promoter activity of MALAT1 gene. The binding activity of Sp1 with the promoter of MALAT1 gene was examined by EMSA and ChIP assay. Effects of Sp1 on regulation of MALAT1 were analyzed by RNA interference in vitro and in vivo mouse model. By means of luciferase assay, Sp1 was found to activate the promoter of the human MALAT1 gene. The binding of Sp1 to this region was also detected by electrophoretic mobility shift and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Sp1 knockdown also decreased the MALAT1 and inhibited A549 lung cancer cells' growth and invasion in vitro. Furthermore, knockdown of Sp1 also mimicked the inhibition of MALAT1 in A549 lung cancer cells' growth and metastasis in vivo. Taken together, our data suggest that upregulation of MALAT1 was mediated by the transcription factor Sp1 in A549 lung cancer...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.
