Intergenerational transport of double-stranded RNA in C. elegans can limit heritable epigenetic changes by Nathan M Shugarts Devanapally, Aishwarya Sathya, Andrew L Yi, Winnie M Chan, Julia A Marre, Antony M Jose

“…The SDG-1 protein is enriched in perinuclear germ granules required for heritable RNA silencing but is expressed from a retrotransposon targeted by such silencing. This auto-inhibitory loop suggests how retrotransposons could persist by hosting genes that regulate their own silencing.…”

circSPECC1 Promotes Proliferation and Migration of LNCaP Prostate Cancer Cells by Affecting Their Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition by Fangmei Xie, Jian Shen, Zeping Han, Wenfeng Luo, Liyin Liao, Jinhua He

“…Results. circSPECC1 was found to be derived from the SPECC1 (sperm antigen with calponin homology and coiled-coil domains 1) parent gene and to form a loop. Overexpression of circSPECC1 promoted the proliferation and migration of the LNCaP cells, whereas decreased expression of circSPECC1 inhibited these properties. …”
