MicroRNA and Putative Target Discoveries in Chrysanthemum Polyploidy Breeding by Fengjiao Zhang, Jingya Zhao, Sujuan Xu, Weimin Fang, Fadi Chen, Nianjun Teng

“…As a result, a total of 170 miRNAs were identified and there are 41 special miRNAs in cross of paternal chromosome doubling, such as miR169b, miR440, and miR528-5p. miR164c and miR159a were highly expressed in a normal embryo at 18 days after pollination, suggesting the regulatory role at the late stage of embryonic development. miR172c was only detected in the normal embryo at 18 days after pollination, which means that miR172c mainly mediates gene expression in postembryonic development and these genes may promote embryo maturation. …”

Chronic Mild Stress Modulates Activity-Dependent Transcription of BDNF in Rat Hippocampal Slices by Raffaella Molteni, Andrea C. Rossetti, Elisa Savino, Giorgio Racagni, Francesca Calabrese

“…The ex vivo methodology of acute stimulation of hippocampal slices obtained from rats exposed to chronic mild stress (CMS) was used to evaluate whether the adverse experience may alter activity-dependent BDNF gene expression. CMS reduces BDNF expression and that acute depolarization significantly upregulates total BDNF mRNA levels only in control animals, showing that CMS exposure may alter BDNF transcription under basal conditions and during neuronal activation. …”

Decellularized Human Stromal Lenticules Combine with Corneal Epithelial-Like Cells: A New Resource for Corneal Tissue Engineering by Shuai Qin, Shuai Zheng, Bing Qi, Rui Guo, Guanghui Hou

“…The results showed that human iPSCs cultured for 4 days in differentiation medium A, 14 days in condition medium, and 1 week in induction medium on decellularized human stromal lenticules developed markedly higher expression of the markers P63, CK3, and CK12 than did those in the other methods. The level of gene expression of the epithelial and pluripotency markers and analysis by scanning electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry also showed successful differentiation. …”

Loss of Sirtuin 7 impairs cell motility and proliferation and enhances S-phase cell arrest after 5-fluorouracil treatment in head and neck cancer by Marta Halasa, Syeda Afshan, Anna Wawruszak, Agata Borkowska, Klaudia Brodaczewska, Alicja Przybyszewska-Podstawka, Joanna Kalafut, Marzena Baran, Adolfo Rivero-Müller, Andrzej Stepulak, Matthias Nees
