Glucose-regulated proteins 75(grp75) is a member of hsp70 family. The expression of grp75 is upregulated during glucose starvation (such as ischemia). To evaluate grp75 function, CHL cells were cultured with glucose-free media for 20 h (A) and glucose-free media for 12 h + glucose-containing media for 8 h (ischemia reperfusion) (B). A constructed rat grp75 cDNA expression vector (pcDNA/grp75) was transfected into CHL cells and a cell strain that stably overexpressed grp75 was obtained. The transfected cells and untransfected cells(control group) were cultured with A or B. By MTT, LDH leakage measurement and flow cytometry analysis, growth rate of untransfected cells in B is significantly lower than that in glucose-containing media for 20 h (C) (p < 0.05) and A (p < 0.05). Growth rate of transfected cells is apparently higher than that of control group in B (p < 0.01). LDH liberation percentage of untransfected cells in B is obviously higher than that in C(p < 0.01) and it is not different from A(p > 0.05). LDH liberation percentage of transfected cells is apparently lower than that of control group in B(p < 0.01). Apoptosis of transfected cells is obviously lower by flow cytometry analysis. These results provide evidence for the cytoprotective function of grp75 during glucose starving and ischemia reperfusion.

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) from the genus beta have been implicated in the development of cutaneous squamous cell cancer in and organ transplant patients. In contrast to alpha-high-risk HPV, which cause ano-genital and oropharyngeal cancers, beta-HPV replication is not well understood. The beta-HPV49 transcriptome was analyzed by RNA sequencing using stable keratinocyte cell lines maintaining high levels of extrachromosomally replicating E8- genomes, which can be established due to a lack of the viral E8^E2 repressor protein.

A Non-Centrifugation Method to Concentrate and Purify Extracellular Vesicles Using Superabsorbent Polymer Followed by Size Exclusion Chromatography.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be isolated and purified from cell cultures and biofluids using different methodologies. Here, we explored a novel EV isolation approach by combining superabsorbent polymers (SAP) in a dialysis membrane with size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to achieve high concentration and purity of EVs without the use of ultracentrifugation (UC). Suspension HEK293 cells transfected with CD63 coupled with Thermo Luciferase were used to quantify the EV yield and purity.

Background: Skin innervation is very important for normal wound healing, and receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) has been reported to modulate calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor function and thus be a potential treatment target. This study aimed to elucidate the intricate regulatory effect of RAMP1 on skin fibroblast function, thereby addressing the existing knowledge gap in this area.

Methods: Immunohistochemical staining and immunofluorescence (IF) staining were used to measure the dynamic changes in the expression of RAMP1 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in skin wound tissue in mice.

Introduction: Inflammasomes NLRP1 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 1) and NLRP3 are pivotal regulators of the innate immune response, activated by a spectrum of endogenous and exogenous stressors, including ultraviolet radiation (UVR). The precise molecular mechanisms underlying the activation of these inflammasomes remain unclear. Furthermore, the involvement of interleukin-33 (IL-33) in UVR-induced skin carcinogenesis is not well defined.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a significant global health challenge, underscoring the need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Oncogenic miRNAs (oncomiRs) play a significant biological role in the initiation and progression of colorectal cancer. Inspired by the cooperative mechanisms of plant nanovirus, which employ multiple circular single-stranded DNA (CssDNA) genomes, it is hypothesized that the development and delivery of CssDNA to target oncomiRs would achieve therapeutic benefits in CRC.
