Ataxia telangiectasia mutated protein (ATM) is a member of the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) family, which has a role in the cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). In the present study, we evaluated the role of ATM in cell-cycle control in dopaminergic rat neuroblastoma B65 cells. For this purpose, ATM activity was either inhibited pharmacologically with the specific inhibitor KU-55933, or the ATM gene was partially silenced by transfection with small interfering RNA (siRNA). Our data indicate that although ATM inhibition did not affect the cell cycle, both treatments specifically decreased the levels of cyclin A and retinoblastoma protein (pRb), phosphorylated at Ser780. Furthermore, ATM inhibition decreased the active form of p53, which is phosphorylated at Ser15, and also decreased Bax and p21 expression. Using H(2)O(2) as a positive control of DSBs, caused a rapid pRb phosphorylation, this was prevented by KU-55933 and siRNA treatment. Collectively, our data demonstrate how a new molecular network on ATM regulates the cell cycle through the control of pRb phosphorylation. These findings support a new target of ATM.

Background: Curcumin (Cur) is a polyphenol phyto-compound found in turmeric () that inhibits tumorigenesis by introducing apoptosis and restricting cell survival and proliferation. This in vitro research article focuses on the pharmacodynamic interactions of Cur combined with the commercial drug doxorubicin (Doxo) to enhance the cytotoxicity of Doxo at lower doses against triple-negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) with the chemo-protective effect against normal HEK293 cells. In this study, we observed the dose-dependent cytotoxicity, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and increased chromatin condensation in combination doses compared to single doses.

Several strategies have been developed in recent years to improve virus-like particle (VLP)-based vaccine production processes. Among these, the metabolic engineering of cell lines has been one of the most promising approaches. Based on previous work and a proteomic analysis of HEK293 cells producing Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) Gag VLPs under transient transfection, four proteins susceptible of enhancing VLP production were identified: ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), ataxia telangiectasia and rad3-related (ATR), DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs), and retinal rod rhodopsin-sensitive cGMP 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase subunit delta (PDEδ).

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) presents significant treatment challenges due to its complex etiology and late-stage diagnosis. The traditional Chinese medicine Selaginella doederleinii Hieron (S. doederleinii) has shown potentiality in NPC treatment due to its multi-target, multi-pathway anti-cancer mechanisms.

In contrast to what one can be led to believe upon inspecting some of the recent literature, the dehydrogenative phenothiazination reaction does not require onerous technologies, complicated setups, or advanced catalysts in order to be mild and sustainable. We demonstrate this herein with a most facile, cost-effective, and sustainable Cu(II) catalyzed method, under 1 atm of O at room temperature in methanol, providing broad scope and high yields. These new results further set the dehydrogenative phenothiazination reaction among the green and practical coupling concepts of chemistry.

During the experimental formation of sol-gel coatings, the colloid dispersions go through a drying process, and the structure of the coatings is formed as a result of complex chemical, colloidal, and capillary interactions. While computer simulations provide guidelines to tune and even design the nanomaterials synthesis, simulations of coating structure formation are hitherto unknown in the literature. Based on real experiments, we establish here a ReaxFF reactive force field-based molecular dynamics simulation protocol in order to investigate and determine the role of the experimental conditions on the pore structure formation in the coatings.
