What is Gene Expression?

196.5K
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...

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

12.0K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

mRNA Stability and Gene Expression02:51

mRNA Stability and Gene Expression

6.6K
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.

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...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Immunology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Long non-coding RNA STX17-DT is upregulated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) patients.
  • The functional role of STX17-DT in PBC pathogenesis remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the functional role of STX17-DT in regulating gene expression and cellular behavior.
  • To examine the impact of STX17-DT overexpression on human monocyte models.

Main Methods:

  • Overexpression of STX17-DT in THP-1 cells via plasmid transfection.
  • Transcriptomic analysis using RNA sequencing, followed by bioinformatics analyses (differential expression, functional enrichment, transcription factor network, protein-protein interaction).
  • Functional validation using CCK-8 and TUNEL assays for proliferation and apoptosis.

Main Results:

  • STX17-DT overexpression altered 1973 genes, notably upregulating interferon-stimulated genes and chemokines involved in immune pathways (NF-κB, Toll-like receptor, TNF signaling).
  • Downregulated genes were associated with metabolic and signaling pathways (PI3K-Akt, cAMP).
  • STX17-DT enhanced THP-1 cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis, indicating a pro-survival effect.

Conclusions:

  • STX17-DT promotes a pro-inflammatory profile and enhances monocyte survival, suggesting a role in PBC immunopathology.
  • STX17-DT may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for PBC, especially in advanced disease.
  • Further validation in primary cells, animal models, and histological samples is warranted.
