Protein synthesis inhibitors have been shown to increase the stability of a number of labile mRNAs. In Xenopus laevis serum albumin mRNA is destabilized in the liver cell cytoplasm following estrogen administration. The present study examined the effect of translation inhibitors on this process. The initiation inhibitor 2-(4-methyl-2,6-dinitroanilino)-N-methylpropionamide causes accumulation of albumin mRNA in 20-80S mRNP particles whereas the elongation inhibitor cycloheximide causes albumin mRNA to accumulate in polysomes. Neither inhibitor blocked the disappearance of albumin mRNA from liver cell cytoplasm when added with estradiol to the medium of liver explant cultures. We conclude that unlike a number of labile mRNAs the instability of Xenopus albumin mRNA following estradiol is independent of translation.

The methyl-CpG binding domain 2 regulates peptidylarginine deiminase 4 expression and promotes neutrophil extracellular trap formation via the Janus kinase 2 signaling pathway in experimental severe asthma.
Ann Med

Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, The Affiliated Changsha Central Hospital, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, Changsha, Hunan, China.
Objective: The prognosis for severe asthma is poor, and the current treatment options are limited. The methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2 (MBD2) participates in neutrophil-mediated severe asthma through epigenetic regulation. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play a critical role in the pathogenesis of severe asthma.

Objective: To initially investigate the function of neuronal pentraxin 1 () gene on osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs).
Methods: hBMSCs were induced to undergo osteogenic differentiation, and then RNA was collected at different time points, namely 0, 3, 7, 10 and 14 d. The mRNA expression levels of key genes related with osteogenic differentiation, including runt-related transcription factor 2 (), alkaline phosphatase (), osteocalcin (), and , were detected on the basis of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology.

Article Synopsis
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors are essential in cancer treatment, but many patients do not respond due to weakened T cell activity; enhancing T cell function through 4-1BB costimulation and bispecific T cell-engaging antibodies shows promise.
- Two bispecific antibodies, LiTE (EGFR x CD3) and Albu-LiTCo (PD-L1 x 4-1BB), were developed using modified mRNA to ensure effective expression and stability for use in cancer therapy.
- In animal models, the combination of mRNA-encoded bispecific antibodies demonstrated effective tumor growth inhibition, with distinct pharmacokinetic profiles: the TCE had a shorter duration while the costimulatory antibody lasted longer post-ad
