Astrocytic Acid-Sensing Ion Channel 1a Contributes to the Development of Epileptic Cognitive Impairment by Wen Li, Huimin Zhou, Xiaona Li, Gengyao Hu, Dong Wei

“…Reactive astrogliosis and acidosis, common features of epileptogenic lesions, express a high level of astrocytic acid-sensing ion channel-1a (ASIC1a), a proton-gated cation channel and key mediator of responses to neuronal injury. This study investigates the role of astrocytic ASIC1a in cognitive impairment following epilepsy. …”

Orphan nuclear receptor NR2E3 is a new molecular vulnerability in solid tumors by activating p53 by Yidan Wang, Todd G. Kroll, Linhui Hao, Zhi Wen

“…Specifically, we identify a cancer-associated NR2E3R97H mutation, which not only fails to activate p53 but also impedes NR2E3WT-mediated p53 acetylation. Moreover, we show that the small-molecule agonist of NR2E3, 11a, penetrates tumor mass of uterine cancer patients and increases p53 activation. …”

Transcriptome Sequencing Reveals Regulatory Mechanisms of Taxol Synthesis in Taxus wallichiana var. Mairei by Tao Wang, Yiming Chen, Weibing Zhuang, Fengjiao Zhang, Xiaochun Shu, Zhong Wang, Qing Yang

“…TF-encoding (transcriptional factor) genes, represented by the ethylene-responsive transcription factor (ERF), basic/helix-loop-helix (bHLH), MYB, and WRKY families, were detected as differentially expressed between JXS and WT, further indicating that the regulation of hormone signaling on taxol biosynthesis genes was mediated by transcription factors (TFs). To our knowledge, this is the first study to illustrate the regulatory mechanisms of taxol synthesis in a new cultivar of T. mairei with a high taxol content in its needles. …”
