Integration of ATAC-seq and RNA-seq reveals signal regulation during post-molt and inter-molt stages in muscle of Eriocheir sinensis by Bin Wang, Bin Wang, Jingjing Li, Mingzhi Zhang, Mingzhi Zhang, Anqi Li, Zhentao Song, Zhentao Song, Zhen He, Zhen He, Ruiqi Zhang, Ruiqi Zhang, Tong Hao, Tong Hao, Jinsheng Sun, Jinsheng Sun

“…In all the enriched signaling pathways, GPCR signaling pathway includes the most differentially expressed genes (8 genes), which underlines its importance in the signal transduction from the post-molt stage to the inter-molt stage. Further protein structure analysis and RT-qPCR validation confirmed five GPCR genes related to molting process, in which four genes (GRM7, FMRFaR, mth2, gpr161) are active during the post-molt stage and one gene (moody) functions during the inter-molt stage.DiscussionThese findings highlight the key regulatory proteins and pathways involved in E. sinensis muscle during molting and also offer foundational data for studying the mechanisms of molting and discontinuous growth in crustaceans.…”

Experiences of community-dwelling older adults living with multiple chronic conditions: a qualitative study by Sharon Kaasalainen, Jenny Ploeg, Marta Canesi, Kimberly D Fraser, Carrie McAiney, Maureen Markle-Reid, Sinead Dufour, Lisa Garland Baird, Tracey Chambers

“…Objectives The aim of the study was to understand the experiences of living with multiple chronic conditions (MCC) from the perspective of community-living older adults with MCC.Design A qualitative study using an interpretive description approach.Setting Participants were recruited from southern Ontario, Canada.Participants 21 community-living, older adults (≥65 years) with an average of 7.4 chronic conditions including one of diabetes, dementia or stroke.Methods Data were collected through digitally-recorded, in-depth, semi-structured in-person interviews. Interview transcripts were analysed and coded using Thorne’s interpretive description approach.Results Five themes were identified representing older adults' experiences of living with MCC: (a) trying to stay healthy while living with MCC, (b) depending on family caregivers for support with just about everything, (c) paying the high costs of living with MCC, (d) making healthcare decisions by proxy and (e) receiving healthcare services that do not address the complex needs of persons living with MCC.Conclusions The experience of living with MCC in the community was complex and multi-faceted. …”

Hypoxia-induced CTCF mediates alternative splicing via coupling chromatin looping and RNA Pol II pause to promote EMT in breast cancer by Parik Kakani, Shruti Ganesh Dhamdhere, Deepak Pant, Rushikesh Joshi, Sachin Mishra, Anchala Pandey, Dimple Notani, Sanjeev Shukla

“…Summary: Hypoxia influences the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through the remodeling of the chromatin structure, epigenetics, and alternative splicing. Hypoxia drives CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) induction through hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1α), which promotes EMT, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. …”
