Transfected cell microarrays are considered to be a breakthrough methodology for high-throughput and high-content functional genomics. Here, recent advances in the cell microarray field are reviewed, along with its potential to increase the speed of determining gene function. These advances, combined with an increasing number and diversity of gene perturbing systems, such as RNAi and ectopic gene expression, provide tools for expanding our understanding of biology at the systems level. 相似文献

Gene expression systems for lactic acid bacteria. 总被引:28,自引:0,他引:28
W M de Vos 《Current opinion in microbiology》1999,2(3):289-295
Considerable advances have been made in the genetics and molecular biology of lactic acid bacteria, including Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus and Streptococcus spp. These have resulted in the construction of constitutive gene expression cassettes, inducible gene expression systems, and specific protein targeting systems for these bacteria. These developments are important in the food industry where lactic acid bacteria can be exploited as food-grade cell factories. 相似文献

All cells in a multicellular organism contain the same genome, yet different cell types express different sets of genes. Recent advances in high throughput genomic technologies have opened up new opportunities to understand the gene regulatory network in diverse cell types in a genome-wide manner. Here, I discuss recent advances in experimental and computational approaches for the study of gene regulation in embryonic development from a systems perspective. This review is written for computational biologists who have an interest in studying developmental gene regulation through integrative analysis of gene expression, chromatin landscape, and signaling pathways. I highlight the utility of publicly available data and tools, as well as some common analysis approaches. 相似文献

外泌体(exosomes)是细胞分泌的囊泡,在细胞与细胞之间通信中发挥重要作用。由于其固有的长距离通信能力和出色的生物相容性而具有很大的潜力作为药物递送载体,尤其适合递送蛋白质、核酸、基因治疗剂等治疗药物。许多研究表明外泌体可以有效地将许多不同种类的货物递送至靶细胞,因此,它们常被作为药物载体用于治疗。对外泌体作为药物递送系统中面临的外泌体分离,药物装载和靶向治疗应用的进展与挑战作一介绍,以期更好为外泌体药物递送系统开发提供新思路。 相似文献

The discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent and the development of engineered endonucleases for enhancing genome editing are two of the most exciting and impactful technology advances in modern medicine and science. Human pluripotent stem cells have the potential to establish new model systems for studying human developmental biology and disease mechanisms. Gene correction in patient-specific iPSCs can also provide a novel source for autologous cell therapy. Although historically challenging, precise genome editing in human iPSCs is becoming more feasible with the development of new genome-editing tools, including ZFNs, TALENs, and CRISPR. iPSCs derived from patients of a variety of diseases have been edited to correct disease-associated mutations and to generate isogenic cell lines. After directed differentiation, many of the corrected iPSCs showed restored functionality and demonstrated their potential in cell replacement therapy. Genome-wide analyses of gene-corrected iPSCs have collectively demonstrated a high fidelity of the engineered endonucleases. Remaining challenges in clinical translation of these technologies include maintaining genome integrity of the iPSC clones and the differentiated cells. Given the rapid advances in genome-editing technologies, gene correction is no longer the bottleneck in developing iPSC-based gene and cell therapies; generating functional and transplantable cell types from iPSCs remains the biggest challenge needing to be addressed by the research field. 相似文献

Recent advances in studying the quorum-sensing systems, which regulate gene expression depending on population density, are reviewed. Low-molecular-weight acyl derivatives of L-homoserine lactone (N-AHL) freely diffuse through cell membranes and determine cell-to-cell communications in bacteria. The quorum-sensing systems have first been found to regulate bioluminescence in marine bacteria Photobacterium (Vibrio) fischeri and Vibrio harveyi. Such systems are widespread and control expression of genes for virulence factors, proteases, antibiotics, etc., in various Gram-negative bacteria, including plant, animal, and human pathogens. Quorum sensing is a prominent example of social behavior in bacteria, as signal exchange among individual cells allows the entire population to choose an optimal way of interaction with the environment and with higher organisms. 相似文献

Recently developed strategies for targeted molecular interventions in mammalian cells have created novel opportunities in biotechnological and biomedical research with huge economic and therapeutic impact: the design of mammalian cells with desired phenotypes for biopharmaceutical manufacturing, tissue engineering and gene therapy. These advances have been enabled by constructing artificial gene regulation systems with control modalities similar to those evolved in key regulatory networks of mammalian cells. This review highlights recurring cellular regulation strategies and artificial gene regulation technology currently in use for rational reprogramming of cellular key events including metabolism, growth, differentiation and cell death to achieve sophisticated bioprocess and therapeutic goals. 相似文献

A number of recent advances have significantly facilitated gene targeting in somatic cells. Gene targeting can now be performed with the same ease and efficiency in somatic cells as in murine embryonic stem cells. Rigorous genetic analyses can therefore be applied for the first time to the large number of excellent human cell culture systems. These tools will be important in areas where rodent models do not adequately represent human biology. 相似文献

The epigenomics of cancer 总被引:42,自引:0,他引:42
Aberrant gene function and altered patterns of gene expression are key features of cancer. Growing evidence shows that acquired epigenetic abnormalities participate with genetic alterations to cause this dysregulation. Here, we review recent advances in understanding how epigenetic alterations participate in the earliest stages of neoplasia, including stem/precursor cell contributions, and discuss the growing implications of these advances for strategies to control cancer. 相似文献

Although intermediate filaments are one of three major cytoskeletal systems of vertebrate cells, they remain the least understood with respect to their structure and function. This is due in part to the fact that they are encoded by a large gene family which is developmentally regulated in a cell and tissue type specific fashion. This article is in honor of Ueli Aebi. It highlights the studies on IF that have been carried out by our laboratory for more than 40 years. Many of our advances in understanding IF are based on conversations with Ueli which have taken place during adventurous and sometimes dangerous hiking and biking trips throughout the world. 相似文献

Current advances in the use of somatic cell hybrid systems have enhanced the value of these systems for studying eukaryotic cell functions. We have reviewed the use of somatic cells to investigate the human interferon system. It has been shown that interspecific heterokaryons and hybrid cells can produce interferon(s) of both parental types and may be protected from viral challenge by interferon(s) from either parent. Using mouse-human hybrid cells we have assigned a human gene(s) responsible for regulating interferon to chromosome 21 and genes involved in the production of human interferon to chromosomes 2 and 5. Our data also suggest possible assignment of a locus involved in control of interferon production to chromosome 16. Suggested further uses of the somatic cell system for interferon studies include study of the subunit structure of interferons and the development of hybrid lines that produce human interferon at high levels (interferon/somatic cell hybrids/human gene assignment. 相似文献
