The Interplay between Oxidative Stress and the Nuclear Lamina Contributes to Laminopathies and Age-Related Diseases.

Oxidative stress is a physiological condition that arises when there is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the ability of cells to neutralize them. ROS can damage cellular macromolecules, including lipids, proteins, and DNA, leading to cellular senescence and physiological aging. The nuclear lamina (NL) is a meshwork of intermediate filaments that provides structural support to the nucleus and plays crucial roles in various nuclear functions, such as DNA replication and transcription.

Immunoinformatics Identification of the Conserved and Cross-Reactive T-Cell Epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 with Human Common Cold Coronaviruses, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and Live Attenuated Vaccines Presented by HLA Alleles of Indonesian Population.

Reports on T-cell cross-reactivity against SARS-CoV-2 epitopes in unexposed individuals have been linked with prior exposure to the human common cold coronaviruses (HCCCs). Several studies suggested that cross-reactive T-cells response to live attenuated vaccines (LAVs) such as BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin), OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine), and MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) can limit the development and severity of COVID-19. This study aims to identify potential cross-reactivity between SARS-CoV-2, HCCCs, and LAVs in the context of T-cell epitopes peptides presented by HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) alleles of the Indonesian population.

Role of the Nuclear Lamina in Age-Associated Nuclear Reorganization and Inflammation.

Aging is characterized by the gradual loss of tissue function and integrity. Activation of inflammatory responses accelerates the deterioration of cells and tissues. Many studies have shown that alteration of the components of the nuclear lamina is associated with inflammation, both in vivo and in vitro.

Lamins Organize the Global Three-Dimensional Genome from the Nuclear Periphery.

Lamins are structural components of the nuclear lamina (NL) that regulate genome organization and gene expression, but the mechanism remains unclear. Using Hi-C, we show that lamins maintain proper interactions among the topologically associated chromatin domains (TADs) but not their overall architecture. Combining Hi-C with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and analyses of lamina-associated domains (LADs), we reveal that lamin loss causes expansion or detachment of specific LADs in mouse ESCs.

Characterization of Proteus vulgaris K80 lipase immobilized on amine-terminated magnetic microparticles.

Proteus vulgaris K80 lipase was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells and immobilized on amine-terminated magnetic microparticles (Mag-MPs). The immobilization yield and activity retention were 84.15% and 7.
