Objective: To study effects of alternative transcripts of ING1 transfection on human cancer cell lines.
Methods: p47/ING1A and p33/ING1B expression vehicles were constructed and introduced into a human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and a human lung cancer cell line PAa, both expressing wild-type p53 protein. Growth characteristics of the transfectants and potentially related genes were analyzed.
Results: The levels of p47/ING1A and p33/ING1B protein elevated respectively in tumor cells of MCF-7 and PAa after transfected with p47/ING1A and p33/ING1B, and the latter was much higher than that of the former. Ectopic overexpression of p33/ING1B effectively blocked tumor cell growth and arrested cells in the G(0) approximately G(1) phase of the cell cycle (P < 0.01), while p47/ING1A gave no effect on cell growth or cell cycle. Tumor cells overexpressing p33/ING1B contained more p21(WAF1) protein than that of the control cells, with undisturbed p53 protein level.
Conclusions: Expression of two different transcripts of ING1 may have different effects on tumor cell growth. p33/ING1B may cooperate with p53 in stimulating expression of p21(WAF1) gene, thus to arrest cell cycle and to inhibit tumor cell growth. p33/ING1B may be considered to be a candidate as a partner of p53 in gene therapy.

Purpose: To clarify the causal association between cardiovascular proteins and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in Europeans.
Methods: The large genome-wide association study data of cardiovascular proteins and DN were used for this two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. We took the Inverse variance weighted (IVW) as the primary method.

Institut universitaire de France (IUF), Paris, France.
We build and study an individual based model of the telomere length's evolution in a population across multiple generations. This model is a continuous time typed branching process, where the type of an individual includes its gamete mean telomere length and its age. We study its Malthusian's behaviour and provide numerical simulations to understand the influence of biologically relevant parameters.

This study indicated that the CCHC-type zinc finger protein PbrZFP719 involves into self-incompatibility by affecting the levels of reactive oxygen species and cellulose content at the tips of pollen tubes. S-RNase-based self-incompatibility (SI) facilitates cross-pollination and prevents self-pollination, which in turn increases the costs associated with artificial pollination in fruit crops. Self S-RNase exerts its inhibitory effects on pollen tube growth by altering cell structures and components, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and cellulose content.

Background/aims: Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) are multipotent adult cells commonly used in regenerative medicine as advanced therapy medicinal products. The expansion of these cells in xeno-free supplements is highly encouraged by regulatory agencies due to safety concerns. However, the number of supplements with robust performance and consistency for hMSC expansion are limited.

Diabetic wounds are complicated by underlying peripheral vasculopathy. Reliance on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy to improve perfusion makes logical sense, yet clinical study outcomes on rescuing diabetic wound vascularization have yielded disappointing results. Our previous work has identified that low endothelial phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCγ2) expression hinders the therapeutic effect of VEGF on the diabetic ischemic limb.
