To study enhancing effect of IL-3 gene transfected bone marrow stromal cell which can be induced by doxycycline (Dox) to express IL-3 cytokine on the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cell, retrovirus vector system contained mIL-3 cDNA was established and bone marrow stromal cell line was transfected, and obtained QXMSC1Tet-on-IL-3, in which expression level of IL-3 can be modulated by Dox. The activities of IL-3 were measured under different Dox concentrations. The numbers of hematopoietic progenitors (CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-GEMM and LTC-IC) were measured and the capacity of QXMSC1Tet-on-IL-3 sustaining hematopoietic progenitor cell growth was evaluated. The results showed that IL-3 gene transfected stromal cell line QXMSC1-Tet-on + IL-3 expressed high concentration of IL-3 in vitro under control of Dox. The supernatant of QXMSC1-Tet-on + IL-3 was able to increase the number of CFU-GM, CFU-E and CFU-GEMM. The total numbers of nucleated cells and long-term cultured colonies increased in LTC-IC assay. It is concluded that in the culture of QXMSC1-Tet-on + IL-3 cells, Dox actually enhanced IL-3 expression, and thus augmented the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in vitro.

Background And Objective: Asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) is characterized by patients exhibiting features of both asthma and COPD. Currently, there is no specific treatment for ACO. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of targeting CD131, a shared receptor subunit for IL-3, IL-5 and GM-CSF, in ACO development and in preventing acute viral exacerbations.

Background: Supplementing choline and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to pregnant gilts modified fetal pig hepatic global DNA methylation induced by gestational malnutrition, suggesting that gene expression and regulation and its associated metabolic pathways are affected in the liver of offspring during growth and development.
Objective: To investigate the effect of maternal supplementation of choline, DHA and their interaction on hepatic mRNA expression, miRNA regulation and metabolic pathways in the fetal pigs born to malnourished mothers.
Methods: The abundance of mRNA and miRNA was profiled in fetal liver from sows with undernutrition supplemented with choline and DHA in a 2 × 2 factorial design.

Background: Clozapine exhibits significant therapeutic efficacy in schizophrenia, especially treatment-resistant schizophrenia. However, clozapine can cause agranulocytosis, a fatal adverse effect, and the aim of this study is to explore this mechanism based on network pharmacology and molecular docking.
Method: Six and two databases were used to identify targets associated with clozapine and agranulocytosis, respectively.

Breast cancer is a global health issue that, when in the metastasis stage, is characterized by the lack of estrogen receptor-α, the progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth receptor expressions. The present study analyzed the differential gene expression related to the immune system affected by ionizing radiation and estrogen in cell lines derived from an experimental breast cancer model that was previously developed; where the immortalized human breast epithelial cell line MCF-10F, a triple-negative breast cancer cell line, was exposed to low doses of high linear energy transfer α particle radiation (150 keV/μm), it subsequently grew in the presence or absence of 17β-estradiol. Results indicated that interferon-related developmental regulator 1 gene expression was affected in the estrogen-treated cell line; this interferon, as well as the Interferon-Induced Transmembrane protein 2, and the TNF alpha-induced Protein 6 gene expression levels were higher than the control in the Alpha3 cell line.

Ph-like ALL comprises approximately 15% of ALL. Patients with mutations or gene fusions signaling through the JAK/STAT pathway have particularly poor prognosis.
