Article Abstract

A single cell clonal sub-line A2780/C10B that is 18-fold resistant to oxaliplatin and approximately threefold cross-resistant to cisplatin and exhibiting a metastasis associated cellular phenotype was characterized for mechanisms of resistance. The cell line exhibited a 50% reduction in the accumulation of both oxaliplatin and cisplatin relative to the parent line, while extensive decline in Pt-DNA adduct levels occurred only following oxaliplatin treatment. The basal GSH levels were fivefold higher in A2780/C10B compared to A2780 and had a fivefold elevation in gamma-GT suggesting this may be the mechanism involved in GSH elevation. The basal levels of ERCC-1, XPA and MRP-2 mRNA levels in A2780/C10B were not higher than those in A2780. The highly reduced Pt-DNA adduct formation only for oxaliplatin, but not cisplatin may be a reflection of the fact that at equimolar concentrations oxaliplatin makes fewer Pt-DNA adducts than cisplatin. The data indicate that multiple lesions occur in a single cell to produce the resistant phenotype.

Diabetic wounds are complicated by underlying peripheral vasculopathy. Reliance on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy to improve perfusion makes logical sense, yet clinical study outcomes on rescuing diabetic wound vascularization have yielded disappointing results. Our previous work has identified that low endothelial phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCγ2) expression hinders the therapeutic effect of VEGF on the diabetic ischemic limb.

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema are leading causes of vision-loss evoked by retinal neovascularization and vascular leakage. The glycoprotein microfibrillar-associated protein 4 (MFAP4) is an integrin αβ ligand present in the extracellular matrix. Single-cell transcriptomics reveal MFAP4 expression in cell-types in close proximity to vascular endothelial cells including choroidal vascular mural cells and retinal astrocytes and Müller cells.

Background: Ovarian cancers (OC) and cervical cancers (CC) have poor survival rates. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) play a pivotal role in prognosis, but shared immune mechanisms remain elusive.

Methods: We integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics (ST) to explore immune regulation in OC and CC, focusing on the PI3K/AKT pathway and FLT3 as key modulators.

Background: During mammalian spermatogenesis, the cytoskeleton system plays a significant role in morphological changes. Male infertility such as non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) might be explained by studies of the cytoskeletal system during spermatogenesis.

Methods: The cytoskeleton, scaffold, and actin-binding genes were analyzed by microarray and bioinformatics (771 spermatogenic cellsgenes and 774 Sertoli cell genes).

The development of resistance remains one of the biggest challenges in clinical cancer patient care and it comprises all treatment modalities from chemotherapy to targeted or immune therapy. In solid malignancies, drug resistance is the result of adaptive processes occurring in cancer cells or the surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME). Future therapy attempts will therefore benefit from targeting both, tumor and stroma compartments and drug targets which affect both sides will be highly appreciated.
