Abstract

Activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription protein STAT3 is a crucial step in granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mediated cell cycle exit and subsequent neutrophilic differentiation of myeloid precursor cells. We have recently demonstrated that this is mediated, at least in part, by upregulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(Kip1). The splice variant STAT3beta, that lacks a C-terminal serine residue implicated in the transcriptional activity of STAT3, has been shown to inhibit STAT3-mediated transcription in certain situations. STAT3beta is known to be expressed in hematopoietic cells, but its role in controlling the balance between proliferation and differentiation has not been established. We ectopically introduced STAT3beta in differentiation-competent 32D cell transfectants expressing human wild type (WT) G-CSF receptors and studied the consequences for G-CSF-mediated responses. Overexpression of STAT3beta did not alter the kinetics of G-CSF-mediated neutrophilic differentiation or p27 induction in 32D/G-CSF-R WT cells. In addition, we found that p27(Kip1) promoter activity was not inhibited by STAT3beta, while inhibition of p27 transactivation by a dominant-negative STAT3 m...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.
