Proteomics-based identification of differentially expressed genes in human gliomas: Down-regulation of SIRT2 gene

TL;DR: Results suggest that SIRT2 may act as a tumor suppressor gene in human glioma possibly through the regulation of microtubule network and may serve as a novel molecular marker for gliomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted disruption of the human LIT1 locus defines a putative imprinting control element playing an essential role in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the Lit1 CpG island can act as a negative regulator in cis for coordinate imprinting at the centromeric domain, thereby suggesting a role for the LIT1 locus in a BWS pathway leading to functional inactivation of p57(KIP2).
Journal ArticleDOI

Refined human artificial chromosome vectors for gene therapy and animal transgenesis.

TL;DR: This study refined a HAC vector without endogenous genes from human chromosome 21 in homologous recombination-proficient chicken DT40 cells, and demonstrated that any desired gene can be cloned into the HAC using the Cre-loxP system in Chinese hamster ovary cells, or a homologously recombination system inDT40 cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

A highly stable and nonintegrated human artificial chromosome (HAC) containing the 2.4 Mb entire human dystrophin gene.

TL;DR: The development of a HAC vector containing the entire human dystrophin gene (DYS-HAC) that is stably maintained in mice and human immortalized mesenchymal stem cells (hiMSCs) is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Construction of a novel human artificial chromosome vector for gene delivery.

TL;DR: A novel HAC from sequence-ready human chromosome 21 by telomere-directed chromosome truncation is developed and a loxP sequence is added for site-specific insertion of circular DNA by the Cre/loxP system, suggesting that the HAC vector provides useful system for functional studies of genes in isogenic cell lines.
