Article Synopsis
  • Scientists found that a type of bacteria called Alistipes indistinctus is lower in people with too much uric acid in their blood, which can cause health problems.
  • They discovered that this bacteria produces a substance called hippuric acid, which helps the body get rid of excess uric acid.
  • Hippuric acid works by helping a specific protein in the body to remove uric acid more effectively, showing how gut bacteria and our bodies work together to keep uric acid levels balanced.

Objective: To explore the oxidative damage of OP9 cells induced by daunorubicin (DNR) treatment.

Methods: The TMRM probe was used to detect mitochondrial membrane potential by flow cytometry; the reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined by flow cytometry DCFDA probe; the real-time PCR was used to detect the molecular expression of antioxidant enzyme,glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in OP9 cells; the expression of γ-H2AX was determined by flow cytometry.

Results: Compared with normal OP9 cells, the positive rate of TMRM in DNR-treated OP9 cells decreased by 56.

Objective: To explore the effect of damage of bone marrow stroma cells induced by chemotherapeutic drug on the function of normal hematopoitic cells.

Methods: Senescence cells were detected by flow cytometry after SA-β-gal staining; real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of a serial molecules in bone marrow stromal cell line OP9 cells; the expression of γ-H2AX was determined by flow cytometry after histone γ-H2AX staining; the colony forming ability of hematopoietic cells was tested by colony formation assay.

Results: The percentage of senescence cells in OP9 cells after DNR treatment was 2.

Objective: To screen the differentially expressed proteins at the early stage of K562 cells treated with meisoindigo by using tandem mass tags (TMT)-based proteomics technology, and to explore the mechanism for meisoindigo-inducing apoptosis.

Methods: The half inhibitory concentration (IC) of mesoindigo on K562 cells was determined by CCK8. The flow cytometry was used to assay the apoptosis of K562 cells treated by meisoindigo or DMSO.

Objective: To explore the effect of c-FLIP expression on drug resistance of Kasumi-1 leukemia cells and its mechanisms.

Methods: Tet-on inducible system was used to construct the conditional expression vector of c-FLIP by cloning the c-FLIP gene into lentivirus vector pLVX-Tight-Puro, then the Kasumi-1 cells were transfected with lentivirus pLVX-Tight-Puro-c-FLIP. The expression of c-FLIP was induced by doxycycline(Dox) for different time and doses, and verified by qRT-PCR and Western blot.

Objective: To investigate the role of asymmetric division in leukemia cells through detection of expression and asymmetric division of Numb in differentiated and undifferentiated K562 cells.

Methods: Firstly, Hemin was used to induce K562 cell differentiation, and the expression of Numb was detected by the real-time quantitative RT-PCR and flow cytometry. After K562 cells were synchronized by nocodazole, the Numb protein was labeled by immunohistochemical staining, followed by the determination of the terminally differentiated cells through confocal microscopy.
