FMRP regulates mRNAs encoding distinct functions in the cell body and dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons

Neurons are believed to rely on dendritic localization and translation of mRNAs in order to generate activity-dependent changes in the synaptic plasticity. Here, we develop a strategy combining compartment-specific CLIP and TRAP in conditionally tagged mice to precisely define the ribosome-bound dendritic transcriptome of CA1 pyramidal neurons. This revealed transcripts that have differentially localized alternative 3UTR and splicing isoforms. FMRP targets are overrepresented among dendritic mRNAs, and compartment-specific FMRP-CLIP defined 383 dendritic FMRP targets, and also allowed for segregation of whole-cell FMRP targets into functional modules that are locally regulated by FMRP. In the absence of FMRP, dendritic FMRP targets show increased ribosome association, consistent with reported roles for FMRP in translational repression. Together, the data support a model in which distinct patterns of FMRP localization allow it to differentially regulate the expression of nuclear proteins and synaptic proteins within different compartments of a single neuronal cell type.

Sequential development of embryoblast memory entities in human cancer tissues, architectural metamorphosis from spiral cleavage to micro - macroscopic structures

Hidden collective organization of cancer cells can partially or completely return to embryoid genotype-phenotype with the plasticity to transform their morphology on cell embryoblast-like memory entities by expression of dormant genes that arise from embryogenesis. After hundreds of driver mutations, cancer cells gain new abilities or attributes and recapitulate early stages of embryogenesis. Our findings document how malignant tissues reactivated ancestral storage memory and elaborate inside tumor glands spiral- pyramidal-fractal chiral crystals (Tc) as geometric attractors proteins and biomimicry the primitive cellular blastocyst embryoblast fluid-filled cavity. The resultant evolutionary embryoblast-like entity has higher survivability and spatial cephalic-caudal growth organization with pluripotentiality that carry the correct DNA instructions to repair, and regenerate. The isolation and manipulation of these order structures can guide and control the regenerative pathway mechanism in human tumors as follows: modify and reprogram the phenotype of the tumor where these entities are generated, establish a reverse primordial microscopic mold to use the swirlonic collective behavior of cellular building blocks to regenerate injured tissues, convert cancer cells to a normal phenotype through regeneration using the organizational level and scale properties of reverse genetic guidance, global control of mitotic activity and morphogenetic movements avoiding their spread and metastasis, determining a better life prognosis for patients who incubate these entities in their tumors compared to those who do not express them. An emergent self-repair order structure, biological template to develop targeted therapeutic alternatives not only in cancer but also in treatment of autoimmune, viral diseases, and in regenerative medicine and rejuvenation.
