RBP-RNA complexes exhibit wide range of conformational switching depending on the RNA molecule and its ability to induce conformational changes in its partner RBP. We categorize the conformational switches into three groups: rigid body, semi-flexible and full flexible.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were extracted via enzymatic digestion, and markers CD105 and CD31 were identified. Cell growth was observed using AO and immunofluorescence staining. No significant differences in Ki67 and GFAP expression were found between 2D and 3D cultures, though the 3D system offered more space for proliferation and reduced contact inhibition. Therefore, this 3D culture system may represent the tumor microenvironment more accurately than 2D cultures and will facilitate the investigation of the characteristics and functions of exosomes derived from this system. Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles that mediate intercellular communication by transferring molecules such as miRNAs between cells. Exosomes from 3D cultures were collected via ultra-high-speed centrifugation and characterized using nano-flow cytometry, transmission electron microscopy, and western blotting for markers CD9, Alix, and TSG101. PKH26 staining revealed peak exosome uptake by tumor cells at 24 h and complete metabolism by 72 h. Exosomes from 3D cultures inhibited GBM cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.

The present study was undertaken to discover whether androgens and their nuclear receptors (Ars) are engaged in regulation of renal LPGDSh protein synthesis in black rockfish. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, in conjunction with immunohistochemistry and highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, revealed that intra-abdominal administration of a synthetic androgen, 17α-methyltestosterone (MT), to juvenile black rockfish induced their renal expression of LPGDSh transcript and protein. In situ hybridization visualized <em>arα</em> and <em>arβ</em> transcripts in the renal tubules of mature males during the copulation season, where they were co-localized with LPGDSh protein.

Previous research has demonstrated that TOE1 has deadenylase activity, which can catalyze the degradation of poly(A) substrates and interact with hCcr4d to form the unconventional human Ccr4-Caf1 deadenylase complex. Our recent research indicates that hCaf1a and hCaf1b isoenzymes, highly expressed in gastric cancer, promote gastric cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenicity <em>via</em> modulating cell cycle progression. However, no studies have yet explored the relationship between TOE1 deadenylase and tumor development. In our study, we systematically investigated the functions and mechanisms of TOE1 in gastric cancer progression. Our findings revealed that overexpression of TOE1 inhibited gastric cancer cell proliferation, invasion and migration, promoted cell apoptosis, and led to cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase, while TOE1 knockdown had the opposite biological effects on these processes in gastric cancer cells. Further results indicated that TOE1 suppressed gastric cancer progression by inhibiting EMT process and MMPs expression. Moreover, our study clarified that TOE1 blocked gastric cancer cell cycle progression by up-regulating the expression level of the key cell cycle factors p21 and p53 through different regulatory mechanisms. Specifically, TOE1 up-regulated p53 expression by enhancing p53 promoter activity, and up-regulated p21 expression by enhancing <em>p21</em> mRNA stability. Collectively, our findings first contribute to further elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which TOE1 participates in the regulation of gastric cancer progression, and are expected to provide a theoretical basis for diagnosis and targeted treatment of gastric cancer.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8800,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.
