Knockdown of NEAT1 induces tolerogenic phenotype in dendritic cells by inhibiting activation of NLRP3 inflammasome.

TL;DR: The results indicate thatNEAT1 knockdown in DCs can induce immune tolerance in models of experimental autoimmune myocarditis and heart transplantation and highlights the therapeutic potential of targeting NEAT1 for the treatment of immune-related diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

A long noncoding RNA distributed in both nucleus and cytoplasm operates in the PYCARD-regulated apoptosis by coordinating the epigenetic and translational regulation.

TL;DR: A mechanism whereby an lncRNA works at different cellular compartments to regulate the pro-apoptotic gene PYCard at both the epigenetic and translational levels, contributing to the PYCARD-regulated apoptosis is revealed and new light is shed on the role of discretely distributed lncRNAs in diverse biological processes.

Long Noncoding RNAs and Repetitive Elements: Junk or Intimate Evolutionary Partners?

TL;DR: A new look is taken at the evidence for and against widespread noncoding gene functionality and the suggestion put forward is that more of this junk DNA may be functional than nonfunctional and that nonc coding RNAs and transposable elements act symbiotically to drive evolution.

Long noncoding RNA CA7-4 promotes autophagy and apoptosis via sponging MIR877-3P and MIR5680 in high glucose-induced vascular endothelial cells.

TL;DR: This study identified that a small chemical molecule, 3-benzyl-5-([2-nitrophenoxy] methyl)-dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (3BDO), synthesized by us, could inhibit VEC autophagy and apoptosis induced by a high concentration of glucose.

Circulating lncRNA XLOC_009167 serves as a diagnostic biomarker to predict lung cancer

TL;DR: Intriguingly, the ROC showed lncRNA XLOC_009167 was a better diagnostic potential compared to the traditional biomarkers (CYFR21-1, NSE and CA72-4), and the circulating lncRNAs were found to be stable in whole blood under different conditions.

Genetic regulatory mechanisms in the synthesis of proteins.

TL;DR: The synthesis of enzymes in bacteria follows a double genetic control, which appears to operate directly at the level of the synthesis by the gene of a shortlived intermediate, or messenger, which becomes associated with the ribosomes where protein synthesis takes place.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR reprograms chromatin state to promote cancer metastasis

TL;DR: It is shown that lincRNAs in the HOX loci become systematically dysregulated during breast cancer progression, indicating that l incRNAs have active roles in modulating the cancer epigenome and may be important targets for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Functional Demarcation of Active and Silent Chromatin Domains in Human HOX Loci by Noncoding RNAs

TL;DR: The transcriptional landscape of the four human HOX loci is characterized at five base pair resolution in 11 anatomic sites and 231 HOX ncRNAs are identified that extend known transcribed regions by more than 30 kilobases, suggesting transcription of ncRNA may demarcate chromosomal domains of gene silencing at a distance.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gene complex controlling segmentation in Drosophila.

TL;DR: The wild-type and mutant segmentation patterns are consistent with an antero-posterior gradient in repressor concentration along the embryo and a proximo-distal gradient along the chromosome in the affinities for repressor of each gene's cis-regulatory element.

The Transcriptional Landscape of the Mammalian Genome

Piero Carninci, +197 more
- 02 Sep 2005 - 
TL;DR: Detailed polling of transcription start and termination sites and analysis of previously unidentified full-length complementary DNAs derived from the mouse genome provide a comprehensive platform for the comparative analysis of mammalian transcriptional regulation in differentiation and development.
