AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a stable eukaryotic cell line that can produce soluble human leukocyte antigen G1 (sHLA-G1).
- Using a gene transfer method called nucleofection, researchers introduced a specific plasmid into lymphoblastoid cells that lack traditional HLA-classical I molecules.
- The successful establishment of this cell line was confirmed through RT-PCR and Dot-ELISA tests, indicating both genetic and protein expression of sHLA-G1.
Article Abstract
Objective: To establish a eukaryotic cell line that can express soluble human leucocyte antigen G1 (sHLA-G1) stably.
Methods: The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3-sHLA-G1 is transfected by a novel nonviral, electroporation-based gene transfer method termed nucleofection into the host cell lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) 721.221 which does not express any HLA-classical I molecules. After selection by G418, the cell line stably expressing sHLA-G1 is identified by RT-PCR and Dot-ELISA with HLA-G1 specific monoclonal antibody MEM-G/9.
Results: The efficiency of transfection for LCL721. 221 is about 14% by nucleofection. The specific band for sHLA-G1 was found by RT-PCR assay from the transfections and the protein of sHLA-G1 in the supernatant of the transfections was detected by Dot-ELISA assay. Both confirmed that the eukaryotic cell line expressing sHLA-G1 has been established successfully at genic and proteinic levels.
Conclusion: In this study, the eukaryotic cell line expressing sHLA-G1 have been established successfully by nucleofection.

Erythropoiesis is controlled by transcription factors that recruit epigenetic cofactors to establish and maintain erythrocyte-specific gene expression patterns while repressing alternative lineage commitment. The transcription factor TAL1 is critical for establishing erythroid gene expression. It acts as an activator or repressor of genes, depending on associated epigenetic cofactors.

The eukaryotic nucleus exhibits a highly organized 3D genome architecture, with RNA transcription and processing confined to specific nuclear structures. While intra-chromosomal interactions, such as promoter-enhancer dynamics, are well-studied, the role of inter-chromosomal interactions remains poorly understood. Investigating these interactions in mammalian cells is challenging due to large genome sizes and the need for deep sequencing.

Defining the cellular factors that drive growth rate and proteome composition is essential for understanding and manipulating cellular systems. In bacteria, ribosome concentration is known to be a constraining factor of cell growth rate, while gene concentration is usually assumed not to be limiting. Here, using single-molecule tracking, quantitative single-cell microscopy, and modeling, we show that genome dilution in cells arrested for DNA replication limits total RNA polymerase activity within physiological cell sizes across tested nutrient conditions.

Unlabelled: Pyroptosis is an inflammatory immune response of eukaryotic cells to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and other pathological stimuli, leading to the activation of the gasdermin D (GSDMD) and secretion of pore-forming domain GSDMD, facilitating the release of cytokines. Additionally, GSDMD exhibits antibacterial properties through interactions with bacterial outer membranes (OM). We explored alternative antimicrobial strategy to determine whether inducing natural pyroptosis via GSDMD activation by LPS could enhance the effectiveness of recombinant phage endopeptidase KP27 (peptidoglycan-degrading enzyme) against , enabling penetration through OM and bacterial killing synergistically.
