Nucleosome Remodeling02:54

Nucleosome Remodeling

11.3K
Nucleosomes are the basic units of chromatin compaction. Each nucleosome consists of the DNA bound tightly around a histone core, which makes the DNA inaccessible to DNA binding proteins such as DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase. Hence, the fundamental problem is to ensure access to DNA when appropriate, despite the compact and protective chromatin structure.

Eukaryotic cells have specialized enzymes called ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeling enzymes. These enzymes...

MicroRNAs01:22

MicroRNAs

24.3K
MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns—non-coding regions of a gene—or intergenic regions—stretches of DNA present between genes. Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After...

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System I: Cardiac Biomarkers

928
Cardiac biomarkers are enzymes, proteins, and hormones released into the blood when cardiac cells are injured. They are powerful tools for triaging.
The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

40.5K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling01:31

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

4.3K
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Biology
  • Molecular Medicine
  • Biomarker Discovery

Background:

  • Myocardial infarction (MI) involves inflammation, hypoxia, and fibrosis.
  • MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are potential biomarkers for cardiovascular injury, but their dynamic expression during MI is unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the temporal expression patterns of miRNAs and genes during MI progression and resolution.
  • To identify time-dependent miRNA biomarkers for cardiac injury and remodeling.

Main Methods:

  • Established a rat model of permanent coronary occlusion with multiple time points (24h, 72h, 7d, 1 month).
  • Performed histological analysis, serum biomarker assessment, and miRNA/gene expression profiling.
  • Analyzed molecular alterations in a time-dependent manner post-occlusion.

Main Results:

  • Observed early depletion of circulating miRNAs at 24 hours post-occlusion.
  • Found transient upregulation of cardiac miRNAs and pro-fibrotic genes (Fibronectin, Collagen, Vimentin) at 72 hours.
  • Correlated molecular changes with histological evidence of myocardial injury and repair.

Conclusions:

  • Delineated the molecular timeline of MI progression and resolution.
  • Identified miR-107, miR-122-5p, and miR-221-3p as sensitive, time-dependent indicators of myocardial stress.
  • Supported miRNA signatures for noninvasive monitoring of cardiac injury and identified potential therapeutic targets for pathological remodeling.
