1. The existence of both cAMP-responsive element binding factor and a nuclear factor 1-like (NF-1-like) protein in nuclear extracts from liver of cAMP-treated rat has been revealed. 2. Binding of these proteins to a DNA fragment containing both elements was cooperative, and 50% binding was achieved with considerably less protein than with a fragment bearing either element alone. 3. Cleavage of the fragment between the two elements abolished the apparent cooperative interaction. 4. Southwestern blot analysis showed that the NF-1-like protein has a molecular weight in the 28-30-kDa range. 5. The NF-1-like binding activity was very stable.

Importance: The current standard-of-care salvage therapy in relapsed/refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) includes consolidation high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT)/autologous stem cell transplant (aSCT).

Objective: To investigate whether presalvage risk factors and fludeoxyglucose-18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) response to reinduction chemotherapy can guide escalation or de-escalation between HDCT/aSCT or transplant-free consolidation with radiotherapy to minimize toxic effects while maintaining high cure rates.

Design, Setting, And Participants: EuroNet-PHL-R1 was a nonrandomized clinical trial that enrolled patients younger than 18 years with first relapsed/refractory cHL across 68 sites in 13 countries in Europe between January 2007 and January 2013.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent and challenging neurodegenerative disorder, and may involve impaired autophagy. Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is crucial for regulating autophagy-related genes, maintaining cellular homeostasis. Electroacupuncture (EA), a complementary and alternative therapy for PD, has gained widespread clinical application.

Detection of Protein-Nucleic Acid Interaction by Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay.

Methods Mol Biol

January 2025

Department of Pharmacology, Yale School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA.

Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) is a powerful technique for studying nucleic acid and protein interactions. This technique is based on the principle that nucleic acid-protein complex and nucleic acid migrate at different rates due to differences in size and charge. Nucleic acid and protein interactions are fundamental to various biological processes, such as gene regulation, replication, transcription, and recombination.

The present study aimed to unveil the gastroprotective potential of Vaccinium macrocarpon (VM) extract and its mechanism of action against indomethacin (INDO)-induced gastric ulcers in rats. To achieve this goal, rats were pretreated with either omeprazole (20 mg/kg) or VM (100 mg/kg) orally for 14 consecutive days. Gastric tissue samples were collected and various parameters were evaluated to understand the mechanism of VM's action, including the levels of superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, glutathione, CAT and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), as well as the mRNA expression levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 beta, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and inhibitor kappa B (IκB).

The present work aimed to examine the primary mechanisms of liver damage, namely the impact of gut-derived endotoxins along the gut-liver axis and adipose-derived free fatty acids along the adipose-liver axis. These processes are known to play a significant role in the development of hepatic inflammation and steatosis. Although possible overlapping in the pathogenesis was expected, these processes have unique pathophysiological consequences.
