Liberties of the genome: insertions of mitochondrial DNA fragments into nuclear genome by M. V. Golubenko, V. P. Puzyrev

“…The transition of detached fragments of mitochondrial DNA into the nucleus and their integration into chromosomal DNA is a special kind of genetic variability that highlights the relation between the two genomes and their interaction in a eukaryotic cell. The human genome contains several hundreds of insertions of mtDNA fragments (NUMTS). …”

Exploring the mechanism of berberine treatment for atherosclerosis combined with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease based on bioinformatic and experimental study. by Shushu Wang, Kachun Lu, Liwen Lin, Gaijie Li, Yuxin Han, Zhichao Lin, Qingmin Chu, Kunsheng Wu, Peijian Liu, Guiting Zhou, Rui Peng, Chuanjin Luo

“…Function analysis revealed that the implicated genes were significantly involved in pathways like cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, chemokine signaling, and IL-17 signaling pathway, suggesting their role in inflammation and immune responses. Single cell validation identified six key genes: dual specificity phosphatase 6 (DUSP6), chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3), complement component 5a receptor 1 (C5AR1), formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1), myeloid nuclear differentiation antigen (MNDA), and proviral integration site of murine 2(PIM2). …”
