Article Synopsis
  • GABAergic interneurons are crucial for maintaining a balance between excitation and inhibition in the brain, particularly in the prefrontal cortex (PFC); an overload of glucocorticoids, like dexamethasone (DEX), can disrupt these cells and increase vulnerability to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
  • In a study with adult male mice, chronic DEX treatment led to observed behaviors resembling depression and anxiety, as well as reduced levels of important GABAergic markers and a decrease in brain size and cortex thickness.
  • The findings suggest that the decline in GABAergic interneurons due to high DEX exposure may contribute to emotional and behavioral deficits, pointing towards a potential link between glucocorticoid

In a coal mine in the northern region of Shaanxi Province, China, a facing-mining excavating roadway exists, which is intended to be retained for subsequent working face safety services. This paper investigates the deformation and damage characteristics of the surrounding rock in different stages using FLAC 3D numerical simulation, taking the facing-mining excavating roadway of this coal mine as the research context. At 20 m ahead of the working face, a discontinuous plastic zone appears in the surrounding rock of the roadway, a phenomenon attributed to the varying hardness of the lithologyand termed 'plastic zone jumping.

In order to study the evolutionary law of roof migration on Gob-Side Entry Retaining, this paper takes the gob-side entry retaining in the comprehensive mining face of the Ningtiaota coal mine as the engineering background, and analyzes the evolutionary law of the overlying rock layer on the roof at different locations during the roadway stay and the stress distribution around the roadway through numerical simulation software, which shows that there is a concentration of stress inside the Flexible formwork concrete wall, and therefore the maximum settlement of the roof on the side of Flexible formwork concrete wall is 35.35 mm, due to the existence of "arch-shaped" decompression area from the working face. Therefore, the maximum settlement of the roof slab on the side of flexible formwork concrete wall was 35.

This study intends to explore the effect of the PAK1 gene silencing on apoptosis and proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) MHCC97-H and HepG2 cells and cells in xenograft tumor. MHCC97-H and HepG2 cells and mice with xenograft tumor in vivo were randomly divided into control, empty vector and PAK1 shRNA groups. Morphology and the expression of green fluorescent protein of MHCC97-H and HepG2 cells and cells in xenograft tumor were observed.

An agonistic antibody against TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand death receptor 5 (DR5) is a practicable candidate drug for antitumor therapy. In this study, a novel murine anti-human DR5 monoclonal antibody, mDRA-6(IgG1-κ), has been generated. This study aimed to explore the caspase-dependent and mitochondrial mechanisms of mDRA-6 in inducing apoptosis in human leukemia Jurkat cells.

Background And Objective: Both tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and some monoclonal agonistic antibodies against TRAIL receptors have antitumor activity. We have previously prepared a novel monoclonal agonistic antibody against human death receptor 5 (DR5) and designated it as mDRA-6. This study was to explore the Caspase-dependent molecular mechanisms of mDRA-6 inducing apoptosis of human leukemia Jurkat cells.

Esophageal cancer (EC) persists to be a leading cancer-related death in northern China. Clinical outcome of EC is the most dismal among many types of digestive tumors because EC at early stage is asymptomatic. The current study used 2-DE-based proteomics to identify differentially expressed proteins between esophageal cancer cell lines and immortal cell line.

The present study was designed to assess the synergistic antitumor effects of anthracenylmethyl homospermidine (ANTMHspd), a novel polyamine conjugate, with alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and to elucidate the mechanism of these effects on human leukemia HL60 cells. Cell proliferation was assessed by the MTT assay. Cell cycle, apoptosis and mitochondria membrane potential (MMP) were evaluated by flow cytometry.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to create monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the DR5 molecule and analyze their characteristics.
  • Using BALB/c mice, researchers employed the hybridoma technique to prepare the mAbs and assessed their properties through methods like ELISA and flow cytometry.
  • Four different hybridoma cell lines producing anti-DR5 mAbs were successfully developed, all classified as IgG1, and they can recognize two distinct epitopes on the DR5 molecule, indicating potential clinical applications.
