    Abstract: An isolated nucleic acid encoding a C-terminal fragment of paraspeckle component 1 (PSPC1) is disclosed. The C-terminal fragment of the PSPC1 comprises an extension of more than 10 but no greater than 131 amino acid residues with its C-terminal amino acid identical to the C-terminus of the PSPC1 sequence SEQ ID NO: 3 and exhibits a biological activity against tumor cells. The tumor cells are associated with either PSPC1 or protein tyrosine kinase 6 (PTK6), or both. The anti-tumor activity is at least one selected from the group consisting of: (a) suppressing tumor cell growth; (b) suppressing tumor cell progression; (c) suppressing tumor cell metastasis; (d) decreasing PSPC1 expression; and (e) decreasing oncogenic PTK6 expression in cytoplasm. Also disclosed is a peptide comprising a C-terminal fragment sequence of PSPC1. A reagent kit and method for predicting tumor progression, metastasis, and prognosis in a cancer patient are also disclosed.

    Abstract: The invention found that first, the feasibility of transfer of tumor resistance and other healthy longevity characters through transplantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC) or hematopoietic stem cells (HSC)/hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) consisting of genetically engineered EKLF gene encoding the hematopoietic transcription factor EKLF. Secondly, the present invention demonstrates expression of EKLF in the long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC), and thus EKLF as a target of regulation of hematopoiesis.

    Abstract: A mutant of EndoS2 includes one or more mutations in the sequence of a wild-type EndoS2 (SEQ ID NO: 1), wherein the one or more mutations are in a peptide region located within residues 133-143, residues 177-182, residues 184-189, residues 221-231, and/or residues 227-237, wherein the mutant of EndoS2 has a low hydrolyzing activity and a high tranglycosylation activity, as compared to those of the wild-type EndoS2. A method for preparing an engineered glycoprotein using the mutant of EndoS2 includes coupling an activated oligosaccharide to a glycoprotein acceptor. The activated oligosaccharide is a glycan oxazoline.
