SRS19-6MuLV is a member of the MuLV family originally isolated from the Tianjin-Shanghai-Zunyi complex of murine leukemia. A notable characteristic of this virus is that it induces tumors of multiple hematopoietic lineages, including myeloid, erythroid, T-lymphoid and B-lymphoid. In a previous study, a sequence with high homology to SRS19-6MuLV in a murine dendritic cell sarcoma (DCS) was identified through cDNA expression screening with mAb 983D4. To investigate the relationship between SRS19-6MuLV and DCS, the existence of a specific SRS19-6MuLV DNA fragment in DCS cells, 15 murine tumor cells, 2 murine tumor tissues, 12 normal murine cells/tissues, 11 human tumor cell lines and SRSV/3T3 (NIH/3T3 cells infected with SRS cell supernatant) was detected by PCR. The specific fragment of SRS19-6MuLV was detected in DCS, mouse fore-gastric cancer cells, LⅡ tumor tissue from which DCS is derived and SRSV/3T3. In addition, the integration sites of SRS19-6MuLV in the positive cells were examined by inverse PCR. Thus, 7 integration sites for SRS19-6MuLV were detected in DCS and 3 in SRSV/3T3. Analysis of sequences by BLAST revealed that some of the integration sites were associated with common fragile sites and some Ras-regulating miRNAs. Our results indicate that SRS19-6MuLV not only induced four types of leukemia, but also induced DCS. This virus does not infect human cells. Multiple integration of SRS19-6MuLV into chromosomes around fragile sites accounts for its carcinogenic effects.

The amount of incorporation of linear alcohols and ethers in HSiWO·6HO (HSiW·6HO, 50 wt %) supported on silica (SiO) was estimated by a conventional volumetric method and infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and the state of involved molecules was elucidated. First, the attribution of the key IR band at 2200 cm, which was observed for the water of crystallization of HSiW·6HO, to HO species (protons) was verified by coincident observation of thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and IR spectroscopy during thermal treatment in addition to the isotope exchange with DO. The 2200 cm band was gradually decreased in intensity by increasing the amount of adsorption of pyridine and was totally consumed at saturation, while the volumetric method provided the accurate number of included pyridine molecules.

Ectopic parathyroid glands result from abnormal migration during development. If not detected promptly, they can lead to persistent or recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Inferior parathyroid glands are typically located in the anterior mediastinum, while superior parathyroid glands are often near the tracheoesophageal groove, both of which contribute to pHPT.

We integrated classic omics, including DNA mutation and RNA gene expression, added a novel focus on promising omics methods based on A>I(G) RNA editing, and developed a drug response prediction model. We analyzed 104 patients from the Breast Cancer Genome-Guided Therapy Study (NCT02022202).

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) in solution is an efficient technique to validate structural predictions by comparing the experimental SAXS profile with those calculated from predicted structures. There are two main challenges in comparing SAXS profiles to RNA structures: the structures often lack cations necessary for stability and charge neutralization, and a single structure inadequately represents the conformational plasticity of RNA.

Here, we construct a set of 10 adenine and cytosine BEs with high activity and broad targeting scope, and comprehensively evaluate their editing profiles and properties head-to-head with 34,040 BE-gRNA-target combinations using genomically integrated long targets and tiling gRNA strategies. Interestingly, we observe widespread non-canonical protospacer adjacent motifs (PAMs) for these BEs.
