An Overview of Targeting Legumain for Inhibiting Cancers

Bandi D. Reddy et al.

Summary: Legumain, a key protein related to tumor angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis, shows elevated expression in tumor cells and macrophages of the tumor microenvironment. Targeting Legumain can reduce cancer cell proliferation and tumor size, and its low expression in normal cells makes it a potential marker for tumor recognition and targeting. Strategies inhibiting Legumain expression or activity are promising for developing less toxic targeted therapeutics, but further research is needed to explore this area.

RNA interference shows that Spook, the precursor gene of 20-hydroxyec-dysone (20E), regulates the molting of Macrobrachium nipponense

Huwei Yuan et al.

Summary: The Mn-Spook gene, found in the Oriental river prawn, plays an important role in ovarian and gill tissue during breeding, with high expression during various developmental stages. Through RNA interference, it was demonstrated that Mn-Spook gene is crucial for molting process of the Oriental river prawn.

Transcriptome analysis of five ovarian stages reveals gonad maturation in female updates Macrobrachium nipponense

Yuning Zhang et al.

Summary: The study provides detailed transcriptome data on the ovarian maturation cycle in M. nipponense, identifying key genes related to vitellogenin hydrolysis and oocyte excretion. This information can serve as an important reference for genomics, molecular biology, physiology, and population genetics of M. nipponense and other crustaceans, aiding in addressing the issue of rapid ovarian maturation in M. nipponense.

Expression and functional analysis of cathepsin L1 in ovarian development of the oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense

Junpeng Zhu et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the characteristics of the Cathepsin L1 gene in the oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense, finding that it plays an important role in ovarian development and is highly expressed in the hepatopancreas and ovaries of female prawns, particularly before ovarian maturation; Expression of Mn-CTS L1 peaked at the post-larval stage of day 15, with in situ hybridization studies showing localization in the oocyte of the ovary, and injection of Mn-CTS L1 dsRNA significantly reducing its expression and increasing vitellogenin expression.
