Abstract:The up-frameshift suppressor 1 homolog (UPF1) RNA surveillance gene is a core element in the nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMd) pathway, which impacts a broad spectrum of biological processes in a cell-specific manner. In the present study, the contribution of the NMd pathway to psoriasis lesions and its moderating effects on the biological processes of keratinocytes was reported. Sanger sequencing for skin scales from two patients with psoriasis identified two mRNA mutations (c.2935_2936insA and c.2030-2081del… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
