We show that poliovirus (PV) infection induces an increase in cytosolic calcium (Ca(2+)) concentration in neuroblastoma IMR5 cells, at least partly through Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum lumen via the inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) and ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels. This leads to Ca(2+) accumulation in mitochondria through the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter and the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC). This increase in mitochondrial Ca(2+) concentration in PV-infected cells leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis.

The abnormally viscous and thick mucus is a hallmark of cystic fibrosis (CF). How the mutated CF gene causes abnormal mucus remains an unanswered question of paramount interest. Mucus is produced by the hydration of gel-forming mucin macromolecules that are stored in intracellular granules prior to release.

An unprecedented global outbreak caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV) prompted the World Health Organization to declare a public health emergency of international concern on July 23, 2022. Therapeutics and vaccines for MPXV are not widely available, necessitating further studies, particularly in drug repurposing area. To this end, the standardization of in vitro infection systems is essential.

Background: Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF; a recessive disorder) have an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Evidence suggests individuals with a single CFTR variant may also have increased CRC risk.
Methods: Using population-based studies (GECCO, CORECT, CCFR, and ARIC; 53 785 CRC cases and 58 010 controls), we tested for an association between the most common CFTR variant (Phe508del) and CRC risk.
Deciphering SPP1-related macrophage signaling in the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration.

This study delved into the molecular mechanisms underlying mechanical stress-induced intervertebral disc degeneration (msi-IDD) through single-cell and high-throughput transcriptome sequencing in mouse models and patient samples. Results exhibited an upsurge in macrophage presence in msi-IDD intervertebral disc (IVD) tissues, with secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) identified as a pivotal driver exacerbating degeneration via the protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase/ activating transcription factor 4/ interleukin-10 (PERK/ATF4/IL-10) signaling axis. Inhibition of SPP1 demonstrated promising outcomes in mitigating msi-IDD progression in both in vitro and in vivo models.

Temozolomide is universally used to treat glioblastoma due to its unique ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and inhibit tumor growth through DNA alkylation. However, over time, the inevitable emergence of resistance to temozolomide impedes successful treatment of this cancer. As a result, there is an urgent need to identify new therapeutic targets to improve treatment outcomes for this malignancy.
