Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The present study explored the role of lncRNA LINC01194, which is upregulated in HCC tissues and might be a vital regulator in HCC progression. Levels of LINC01194, microRNA (miR)-655-3p, and SMAD family member 5 (SMAD5) were assessed using reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The bioactivity of Huh-7 cells was assessed using cell counting kit-8 and transwell assays and flow cytometry. Western...

SOCS3 is low-expressed in breast cancer and may be a potential target. Ultrasound targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) improved the efficiency of gene transfection. We explored the effects of UTMD-mediated transfection of SOCS3 on the biological characteristics and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). The expression of SOCS3 in breast cancer (BC) and its association with prognosis were evaluated by GEPIA and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) websites. BCSCs were sorted by flow...

Resembling acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a unique subtype of APL who sharing clinical, morphological, and immunophenotypic features with typical APL, but lacking evidence of PML-RARA fusion gene and usually insensitive to arsenic trioxide (ATO) and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). For years, RARA, RARB and RARG rearrangement were found in resembling APL continually. The confirmed partner genes of RARG rearrangement included CPSF6, NUP98, NPM1, PML, and HNRNPC. These patients were a group of resembling APL...

Representation of the number of genes differentially expressed in the medial preoptic area (MPOA, top), nucleus accumbens (NAc, middle), and lateral septum (LS, bottom) across all chromosomes and linkage groups in the prairie vole assembly. Only cases with at least one differentially expressed gene are depicted.

Additional file 19. Estimated cell type proportions. The proportions of various cell types were estimated in our dataset using a publicly-available single-cell RNA sequencing dataset. While panel (A) shows the estimated proportions for all genes detected in our study, panels (B) and (C) depict the estimated proportion of the “Astrocytes” and “Neurons” cell types, or only “Neurons”, respectively, in genes differentially expressed in the given structure.

Additional file 22. Structure-specific associations of gene coexpression modules with parental behaviors. The correlation of each co-expression module from the weighted gene coexpression network analysis with behavioral traits (behaviors scored during parental behavior test and phenotype status) is depicted for each structure. The correlation value is detailed alongside its corresponding p-value in parentheses. Note that within each structure, only modules with at least one significant association are depicted. MPOA: medial preoptic area, NAc: nucleus accumbens,...

Additional file 28. Representative location of tissue punches collection. As no atlas in stereotaxic coordinates exists for the prairie vole brain, representative plates from the rat brain atlas [95] are depicted. Tissue punches were taken from sections ranging from plates 12–18 for the nucleus accumbens (NAc, A), plates 19–27 for the lateral septum (LS, B), and plates 32–40 for the medial preoptic area (MPOA, C).

Abstract In the frame of radiotherapy treatment of cancer, radioresistance remains a major issue that still needs solutions to be overcome. To effectively improve the radiosensitivity of tumors and reduce the damage of radiation to neighboring normal tissues, radiosensitizers have been given increasing attention in recent years. As nanoparticles based on the metal element gadolinium, AGuIX nanoparticles have been shown to increase the radiosensitivity of cancers. Although it is a rare nanomaterial that has entered...

In order to improve the output power of solar-pumped single-crystal fiber (SCF) lasers, a novel solar concentrating system is proposed, which consists of a parabolic mirror, a 3D-CPC, and a hollow-core reflector. By ray tracing with TracePro, influence of the fiber’s diameter and the hollow reflector’s shape on the solar absorption efficiency is theoretically investigated. A typical Nd:YAG SCF with a core-diameter of 1 mm, length of 150 mm and doping concentration of 1 at.%...

Abstract Background Snail control is critical to schistosomiasis control efforts in China. However, re-emergence of Oncomelania hupensis is challenging the achievements of schistosomiasis control. The present study aimed to test whether the amphibious snails can spread across watersheds using a combination of population genetics and geographic statistics. Methods The digital maps and attributes of snail habitats were obtained from the national survey on O. hupensis. Snail sampling was performed in 45 counties of Sichuan Province....

Abstract Background Tolvaptan was approved in the United States in 2018 for patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) at risk of rapid progression as assessed in a 3-year phase 3 clinical trial (TEMPO 3:4). An extension study (TEMPO 4:4) showed continued delay in progression at 2 years, and a trial in patients with later-stage disease (REPRISE) provided confirmatory evidence of efficacy. Given the relatively shorter-term duration of the clinical trials, estimating the longer-term...
