Meanwhile, MiR-21 levels were markedly increased in MVs isolated from donor renal tubular epithelial cells and recipient cardiomyocytes. Pre-transfection of miR-21 inhibitors could inhibit MV-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.

Tubular cells could secrete miR-21 by MVs and deliver it into recipient cardiomyocytes to induce cardiomyocyte…[Read more]

The tRNA modification N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (t6A) is universally conserved in all organisms. In bacteria, the biosynthesis of t6A requires four proteins (TsaBCDE) that catalyze the formation of t6A via the unstable intermediate l-threonylcarbamoyl-adenylate (TC-AMP). While the formation and stability of this intermediate has been studied…[Read more]

Testicular sperm is increasingly used during in vitro fertilization treatment. Testicular sperm has the ability to fertilize the oocyte after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), but they have not undergone maturation during epididymal transport. Testicular sperm differs from ejaculated sperm in terms of chromatin maturity, incidence of DNA…[Read more]

Our results suggested that callose deposition around plasmodesmata in wild-type plants is mainly responsible for the restriction of TMV movement during the PDMP-induced defensive response to TMV infection, and that ABA biosynthesis apparently plays a crucial role in PDMP-induced callose priming for enhancing defence against TMV.Mechanical…[Read more]
