The intracellular mechanisms of NDMA-induced apoptosis of neutrophils have not yet been fully understood. The aim of this study was to explain whether the TRAIL/DR5 system is implicated in NDMA-induced apoptosis of human neutrophils. The expression of TRAIL and DR5 was examined, as well as the secretion of sTRAIL and sDR5 by human neutrophils treated with NDMA confronted with intensity apoptosis of these cells. For comparative purposes similar examinations in autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were performed. Decreased expression and secretion of TRAIL and increased expression and secretion of DR5 associated with increased intensity of apoptosis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) suggest that NDMA-induced apoptosis in these cells may be depend on TRAIL/DR5 system. Autologous PBMCs no exerted that changes in the expression and secretion of TRAIL as well as in the intensity of apoptosis. However, the expression and secretion of DR5 by PBMCs were similar to those by PMNs. Differences above suggest that PMNs are more sensitive to unfavorable action of NDMA than PBMCs.

Background: Pathobiology of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with changes among respiratory epithelium structure and function. Increased levels of PM from urban particulate matter (UPM) are correlated with enlarged rate of asthma and COPD morbidity as well as acute disease exacerbation. It has been suggested that pre-existing pulmonary obstructive diseases predispose epithelium for different biological response than in healthy airways.

Background: Drought stress is a significant global challenge that negatively impacts cotton fiber yield and quality. Although many drought-stress responsive genes have been identified in cotton species (Gossypium spp.), the diversity of drought response mechanisms across cotton species remains largely unexplored.

Metabolites derived from the intestinal microbiota, including bile acids (BA), extensively modulate vertebrate physiology, including development, metabolism, immune responses and cognitive function. However, to what extent host responses balance the physiological effects of microbiota-derived metabolites remains unclear. Here, using untargeted metabolomics of mouse tissues, we identified a family of BA-methylcysteamine (BA-MCY) conjugates that are abundant in the intestine and dependent on vanin 1 (VNN1), a pantetheinase highly expressed in intestinal tissues.

Histone H3 monoaminylations at Gln5 represent an important family of epigenetic marks in brain that have critical roles in permissive gene expression. We previously demonstrated that serotonylation and dopaminylation of Gln5 of histone H3 (H3Q5ser and H3Q5dop, respectively) are catalysed by transglutaminase 2 (TG2), and alter both local and global chromatin states. Here we found that TG2 additionally functions as an eraser and exchanger of H3 monoaminylations, including H3Q5 histaminylation (H3Q5his), which displays diurnally rhythmic expression in brain and contributes to circadian gene expression and behaviour.

Several mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) cultivars are susceptible to Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) caused by Cercospora canescens Ellis & Martin, and it is necessary to explore resistance sources and understand resistance mechanisms. However, the CLS resistance mechanisms have not yet been explored.
