What is Gene Expression?

196.7K
Overview
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...

What is Gene Expression?

11.4K
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is comprised  of nucleotides and proteins are comprised of amino acids, a mediator is required to convert the information encoded in DNA into proteins. This mediator is the messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA copies the blueprint from DNA by a process called transcription. In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus by complementary base-pairing with the DNA template. The mRNA is then...

Cell Specific Gene Expression

16.5K
Multicellular organisms contain a variety of structurally and functionally distinct cell types, but the DNA in all the cells originated from the same parent cells. The differences in the cells can be attributed to the differential gene expression. Liver cells, whose functions include detoxification of blood, production of bile to metabolize fats, and synthesis of proteins essential for metabolism, must express a specific set of genes to perform their functions. Gene expression also varies with...

Chromatin Position Affects Gene Expression

24.8K
Chromatin is the massive complex of DNA and proteins packaged inside the nucleus. The complexity of chromatin folding and how it is packaged inside the nucleus greatly influences  access to genetic information. Generally, the nucleus' periphery is considered transcriptionally repressive, while the cell's interior is considered a transcriptionally active area. 
Topologically Associated Domains (TADs)
The 3-dimensional positioning of chromatin in the nucleus influences the...

mRNA Stability and Gene Expression02:51

mRNA Stability and Gene Expression

6.7K
The structure and stability of mRNA molecules regulates gene expression, as mRNAs are a key step in the pathway from gene to protein. In eukaryotes, the half-life of mRNA varies from a few minutes up to several days. mRNA stability is essential in growth and development. The absence of the proteins regulating its stability, such as tristetraprolin in mice, can cause systemic issues, including bone marrow overgrowth, inflammation, and autoimmunity.

Summary

Congenital heart disease (CHD) arises from embryonic aortic arch remodeling errors. Wall shear stress influences angiogenesis and gene expression, potentially indicating asymmetric development and CHD origins.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Cardiovascular research
  • Embryogenesis

Background:

  • Embryonic aortic arches (AA) are crucial transitional vessels.
  • Remodeling failures in AA contribute to congenital heart disease (CHD) anatomies.
  • Understanding genetic regulation and cross-talk in AA is vital for CHD etiology and predictive modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To screen expression profiles of fundamental biological pathways in early chick embryo AA.
  • To correlate gene expression with growth and mechanical loading (wall shear stress - WSS).
  • To investigate molecular interactions and identify key regulatory hierarchies.

Main Methods:

  • Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) for gene expression analysis.
  • Correlation and peak expression analyses to determine gene behavior and activation periods.
  • Integration of protein networks to study molecular interactions.

Main Results:

  • Wall shear stress (WSS) directly impacts angiogenesis, structural genes, and apoptosis-related genes.
  • WSS-correlated genes were found to coordinate critical growth factor activity.
  • Differential gene expression between left and right AA may predict asymmetric morphogenesis.

Conclusions:

  • Findings illuminate the role of WSS in AA development and its connection to CHD.
  • Gene expression patterns in AA provide insights into cardiac morphogenesis and CHD etiology.
  • This research supports the refinement of computational models for CHD prediction.
