The ISG15-Protease USP18 Is a Pleiotropic Enhancer of HIV-1 Replication.

The innate immune response to viruses is formed in part by interferon (IFN)-induced restriction factors, including ISG15, p21, and SAMHD1. IFN production can be blocked by the ISG15-specific protease USP18. HIV-1 has evolved to circumvent host immune surveillance.

Study of hydrosalpinx on endometrial growth and expression of HOXA10mRNA and related factors.

Objective: The objective of the study is to extract at the time of culture the cells and decidualization induction in vitro. Further, the study is also intended at identifying the expression of HOXA10mRNA and related factors and understand the hydrosalpinx's impact upon the working mechanism of endometrial cells.

Methods: Once the extraction of the primary cells is over, the cells are cultured and other activities are performed such as the cell identification, CCK8 assay, cell decidua induction and HE staining.

A Simulation Study on the Growth of Oviduct Mucosa Cells in the Uterine Cavity Microenvironment.

Objective: The growth of oviduct mucosa in the uterine cavity was observed by co-culture of oviduct mucosa cells and endometrial cells in different proportions to study the possibility and function of the growth of oviduct mucosa in the uterine cavity.

Methods: The extracted cells were identified by immunofluorescence with cytokeratins 19 (CK19) and vimentin. A Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) experiment, cell decidualization induction, and HE staining were performed after the co-culture of two kinds of cells in different proportions.
