Objective: To construct an eukaryotic expression vector of open reading frame of unknown KH gene (KH-ORF), and investigate its effect on cell proliferation.
Methods: The pCI-neo-KH-ORF expression vector was constructed by DNA recombinant technique and was introduced into COS-7 cells and K562 cells by lipofectactin-mediated DNA transfection. Expression of KH-ORF mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. The effect of KH-ORF on cell cycle of COS-7 cells and K562 cells was evaluated by flow cytometry (FCM). Effect on cell proliferation of COS-7 cells was tested by MTT assay and that on K562 cells was analyzed by growth curves and LDH activity measurement.
Results: (1) KH-ORF mRNA was expressed both in COS-7 cells and K562 cells. (2) The cell cycle and cell proliferation of COS-7 cells were unaffected significantly. (3) The proportion of cells in S phase was increased in pCI-neo-KH-ORF-transfected K562 cells; and growth curves and LDH activity indicated enhanced cell proliferation.
Conclusion: KH gene may be a leukemia gene related to proliferation of K562 cells.

Article Synopsis
- Multidrug resistance (MDR) complicates the development of effective chemotherapy, with previous research showing that GnT-III expression decreases chemoresistance and that fucosylation is heightened in resistant cell models.
- Using advanced techniques like CRISPR/Cas9, this study created a FUT4 knockout cell line to assess how fucosylation affects drug resistance by analyzing various gene expressions and drug response.
- The findings revealed that knocking out FUT4 lowered P-glycoprotein levels and enhanced drug sensitivity, indicating that FUT4 plays a pivotal role in regulating P-glycoprotein expression through the NF-κB signaling pathway, positioning it as a potential target for overcoming MDR in cancer treatment.
This comprehensive study focused on evaluating and selecting seven distinct commercial membranes to develop BTESE/PA membranes. This method effectively facilitated the extraction of cynaroside from the complex composition of peony seed meal. We subsequently conducted a thorough investigation into its biological properties.

Hydrogels are adaptable substances with a 3D framework able to hold large quantities of water, which is why they are ideal for use in the field of biomedicine. This research project focused on creating a new hydrogel combining carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), graphene quantum dots (GQDs), pectin (Pe), and MIL-88 for precise and controlled release of the cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). The creation of CMCS/GQDs@Pe/MIL-88 hydrogel beads was achieved through an eco-friendly one-step synthesis method.
