Scientists discover small RNA that regulates bacterial infection

The Pharma Data

Scientists discover small RNA that regulates bacterial infection People with weakened immune systems are at constant risk of infection. Using genetic sequencing technologies, Whiteley and Cao measured the levels of all types of mRNA present in the bacteria. They named the small RNA SicX (sRNA inducer of chronic infection X).

Role(s) of G3BPs in human pathogenesis [Minireview]

ASPET

Ras- G TPase-activating protein (SH 3 domain)- b inding p roteins (G3BP) are RNA binding proteins that plays a critical role in stress granule (SG) formation. SGs protect critical mRNAs from various environmental stress conditions by regulating mRNA stability and translation to maintain regulated gene expression.

LINC00460 knockdown sensitizes cervical cancer to cisplatin by downregulating TGFBI

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

LINC00460 knockdown contributed to DDP sensitivity of cervical cancer by regulating TGFBI, providing a novel mechanism underlying the acquisition of DDP sensitivity. The prognostic value of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) LINC00460 has been reported in cervical cancer. The sensitivity to DDP was investigated using an CCK8 assay.

Malaria unravelled: decoding the parasite’s gene expression control

Drug Target Review

Researchers from Tokyo Tech’s World Research Hub Initiative conducted a study to investigate the regulation of gene expression in the apicoplast of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Through phylogenetic analysis and microscopy techniques, they identified a nuclear-encoded apicoplast RNA polymerase σ subunit called ApSigma.

Brucine D restrains colorectal cancer tumorigenesis and autophagy by downregulating circ_0068464

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

At present, it has not been reported whether BD inhibits the malignancy of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. circinteractome, and CircBank and validated using dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. Importantly, circ_0068464 could regulate ATG5 expression by functioning as a miR-520h molecular sponge.

Current understanding and future prospects on Berberine for anticancer therapy

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Berberine has been shown in in vitro and in vivo studies to inhibit various types of cancer by activating the p-53 and cyclin-B expression, targeting various cell signalling pathways, to regulate the cell cycle. Berberine anticancer properties are demonstrated due to the interaction of berberine with micro-RNA.

Day Zero Antivirals for Future Pandemics

Codon

For this reason, developing broad-spectrum antivirals presents an enormous scientific challenge. Remdesivir and other broad-spectrum antivirals work by jamming up RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), an enzyme that nearly all RNA viruses use to replicate their genomes. Existing medicines only pose a partial solution.
