Apoptosis of bollworm cell line Hz-AM1 can be delayed by transient expression of AcNPV (Autographa californica Nuclear Polihedrosis Virus) p35 gene. Acp35Z, a p35 inactivated AcNPV by inserting with LacZ gene, cannot replicate in Hz-AM1 cells. However, the replication can be rescued by co-transfection with a plasmid containing AcNPV p35 gene. It is also realized that the transient expression of AcNPV p35 gene in Hela cells can put off cell apoptosis which is induced by adding actinomycin-D. Through co-transfection and G418 screening, two anti-apoptosis cell lines named Sf9-35 and Vero-35 are established by integrating AcNPV p35 and Neo expression cassette into the cell chromosomes. The Sf9-35 enhances the yield of budded virus of AcNPV, while the Vero-35 increases the propagation of measles virus.

Introduction: Diamond Blackfan anaemia (DBA) is a rare disorder characterized by failure of red blood cell production, congenital abnormalities and cancer predisposition, primarily caused by pathogenic germline variants in genes encoding ribosomal proteins.

Methods: We conducted a genotype-phenotype and outcome study of 121 patients with DBA spanning the 20-year history of the National Cancer Institute's Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes study. Patient phenotypes were compared by large versus small ribosomal protein genes, across genes with >5 cases (, , and ) and by type of pathogenic variants (hypomorphic versus null, large deletions versus others).

Glucose-sensing ChREBP and MondoA are transcriptional factors involved in lipogenic, inflammatory, and insulin signaling pathways implicated in metabolic disorders; however, limited ocular studies have been conducted on these proteins. We aimed to investigate the potential role of ChREBP in pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). We used diabetic human and mouse retinal cryosections analyzed by immunohistochemistry.

Article Synopsis
  • Aberrant activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway is associated with the severity of prostate cancer (PCa), while the androgen receptor (AR) plays a vital role in the early stages of PCa development.
  • A study found that p35-CDK5 acts as a mediator between PI3K/Akt and AR, promoting PCa cell growth and stability of the androgen receptor, particularly when the PI3K/Akt signaling is inhibited.
  • Inhibiting PI3K/Akt not only increases p35 expression and enhances AR activation in PCa cells but also suggests that p35-CDK5 is essential for cell survival when PI3K/Akt activity is blocked.

Article Synopsis
  • Jayne et al. reveal the molecular details of a specific chromosomal translocation (t(1;6)(p35.3;p25.2)) found in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia patients.
  • This translocation involves the IRF4 gene on chromosome 6 and the RCC1 gene on chromosome 1, indicating a fusion between RCC1 and IRF4.
  • The study suggests that this chromosomal abnormality could have significant prognostic implications for patients with this type of leukaemia.

The chromosomal translocation t(1;6)(p35.3;p25.2), recurrent in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, leads to RCC1::IRF4 fusion.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study of 10 cases revealed that this translocation connects the interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) gene on chromosome 6 with the regulator of chromosome condensation 1 (RCC1) gene on chromosome 1, resulting in fusion transcripts.
  • * Despite the fusion, the expression levels of RCC1 and IRF4 proteins remained normal, and the cases also displayed typical mutations related to CLL, suggesting a linkage with the IGHV-unmutated subtype.
