As previously reported [Cameron, T. P., Rogers-Back, A. M., Lawlor, T. E., Harbell, J. W., Seifried, H. E., and Dunkel, V. C. (1991) Gentoxicity of multifunctional acrylates in the Salmonella/mammalian-microsome assay and mouse lymphoma TK+/- assay. Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 17, 264-271], the National Cancer Institute (NCI) shares the responsibility of selecting the most significant chemicals for carcinogenicity testing by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) and has used data from Salmonella and mouse lymphoma mutagenicity assays to aid in the selection and prioritization of chemicals to be further evaluated in chronic 2 year rodent studies. In addition, a number of antineoplastic and anti-AIDS drugs in preclinical evaluation were tested for the NCI's Division of Cancer Treatment Toxicology Branch. In the NCI/NTP chemical selection process, it is no longer necessary to test chemicals prior to sending them to the NTP so the NCI program has ceased performing mutagenicity tests. Some of the testing data has been made available in summary form in the Chemical Carcinogenisis Research Information System (CCRIS), which is searchable on the NLM TOXNET system. The limitations in using this source are that only summary results are available and many negative test results are not included. A summary table that presents the results for each compound is provided in the Appendix with raw data provided in the Supporting Information. The Appendix table contains the compound name, CAS number, and a summary of the data from the Ames test and the mouse lymphoma assay.

Wound healing is a highly coordinated process driven by intricate molecular signaling and dynamic interactions between diverse cell types. Nod-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) has been implicated in the regulation of inflammation and tissue repair; however, its specific role in skin wound healing remains unclear. This study highlights the pivotal role of NLRP3 in effective skin wound healing, as demonstrated by delayed wound closure and altered cellular and molecular responses in NLRP3-deficient (NLRP3) mice.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is characterized by its aggressive nature and resistance to standard chemotherapy, necessitating the development of new therapeutic approaches. The emergence of natural products and their derivatives has notably influenced cancer treatment, making morusinol, a medicine-derived monomer, a promising candidate. Here, we showed that morusinol exerted antitumor effects on DLBCL in vitro by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.

2,3,7,8-tetrachlordibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) belongs to the category of persistent environmental pollutants, and gestational exposure to TCDD can lead to cognitive, memory, and motor deficits, as well as altered neuron development in rodents. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying TCDD's neurotoxicity remine unclear. Neural stem cells (NSCs) possess the capacity for self-renewal and can generate various cell types within the brain, playing fundamental roles in brain development and regeneration.

Colorectal cancer (CRC), one of the diseases posing a threat to global health, according to the latest data, is the third most common cancer globally and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The development and refinement of novel structures of small molecular compounds play a crucial role in tumor treatment and overcoming drug resistance. In this study, our objective was to screen and characterize novel compounds for overcoming drug resistance via the B Lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 (Bmi-1) reporter screen assay.

T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) are heterogeneous malignancies with limited treatment options and poor outcomes. The efficacy of traditional T-cell therapies, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, is often constrained by immunosuppressive factors and the tumor microenvironment. On the other hand, although direct Granzyme B (GrB) administration can effectively induce tumor cell apoptosis, it lacks universal tumor targeting and efficient cellular entry mechanisms.
