The Fos protein, a major component of the AP-1 transcription factor, is essential for osteoclast differentiation, acts as an oncogene, potentiates transforming signals, and controls invasive growth and angiogenesis during tumor progression. To investigate a potential genetic interaction between the Trp53 and Fos pathways, Trp53/Fos double knockout mice were generated. These mice develop highly proliferative and invasive rhabdomyosarcomas of the facial and orbital regions, with more than 90% penetrance at 6 months of age. Rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines established from the primary tumors express characteristic muscle-specific markers, and reexpression of Fos is associated with enhanced apoptosis in vitro. Moreover, Fos is able to repress Pax7 expression in rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines and primary myoblasts, suggesting a molecular link to genetic alterations involved in human rhabdomyosarcomas.

Infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) exhibits a cascade expression pattern of encoded genes, and is the only immediate-early gene of ILTV, which plays a crucial role in initiating the subsequent viral genes. Therefore, studying the transcriptional regulation mechanism of holds promise for effectively blocking ILTV infection and spread. Host transcriptional factors p53 and Fos are proven to regulate a variety of viral infections, and our previous studies have demonstrated their synergistic effects in regulating ILTV infection.

Article Synopsis
- Coccidiosis, caused by the parasite Eimeria tenella, negatively impacts the poultry industry, and its exact mechanism of host cell damage is not fully understood.
- This study investigates how the E. tenella rhoptry protein (EtROP) 38 influences host cell apoptosis through the P38 MAPK signaling pathway by examining changes in gene expression and infection rates in treated cells.
- Results reveal that EtROP38 and host cell p38 knockdown reduce apoptosis rates and alter gene expression, leading to increased infection rates, indicating that E. tenella may utilize EtROP38 to inhibit host cell signaling pathways and prevent cell death.

Background: Nano titanium dioxides (TiO) are widely used in drug development, food additives and packaging materials. Although several studies have demonstrated the poisonousness of TiO in vivo and in vitro, the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been fully revealed.
Methods: Characterization of TiO by FTIR, XRD, TEM and DLS.

Background: Activator protein-1 (AP-1) represents a transcription factor family that has garnered growing attention for its extensive involvement in tumor biology. However, the roles of the AP-1 family in the evolution of lung cancer remain poorly characterized. FBJ Murine Osteosarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog B (FOSB), a classic AP-1 family member, was previously reported to play bewilderingly two-polarized roles in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as an enigmatic double-edged sword, for which the reasons and significance warrant further elucidation.

This paper aims to explore the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Saracae Cortex by using network pharmacology and molecular docking methods and verify it through the inflammation model of zebrafish. The effective components, potential core targets, and signaling pathways of Saracae Cortex were obtained by using network pharmacology. A lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced inflammation model of zebrafish was established to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of aqueous extract and 70% ethanol extract of Saracae Cortex with cell apoptosis rate and reactive oxygen species(ROS) production rate as indicators.
