Objective: To study the regulation of the mucin protein in colon cancer cell line HT-29 by recombinant human interleukin-6(rIL-6) and to further elucidate the development of colon cancer.
Methods: The HT-29 cells were treated with different concentrations of rIL-6(1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 μg/L), then flow cytometry and RT-PCR were used to detect the expression of mucin1 and mucin2. Transwell invasion assay was used to observe the effect of invasion capability of rIL-6 to HT-29 cells.
Results: In colon cancer, the expression of mucin 1 could be promoted by rIL-6 with concentration above 2 μg/L, the expression rates were(12.5±1.6)%, (26.6±2.7)%, (33.9±2.8)% and (58.9±2.5)%, respectively, higher than (8.0±0.8)% in the negative controls (P<0.01), meanwhile, the expression of mucin 2 decreased by rIL-6 with concentration above 2 μg/L, the expression rates were(30.5±2.6)%, (17.0±2.7)%, (11.0±2.0)% and (5.3±1.8)%, respectively, lower than (41.6±3.6)% in negative control(P<0.01). With the increase in rIL-6 concentration, the invasion of HT-29 cells was enhanced.
Conclusions: In colon cancer, the expression of mucin1 can be promoted by rIL-6, while the expression of mucin2 can be inhibited. IL-6 is a promoting effect factor in colon cancer invasion and metastasis.

Tick-borne spotted fever rickettsioses (SFRs) continue to cause severe illness and death in otherwise-healthy individuals due to lack of a timely and reliable diagnostic laboratory test. We recently identified a diagnostic biomarker for SFRs, the putative N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase RC0497. Here, we developed a prototype laboratory test that targets RC0497 for diagnosis of SFRs.

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) has emerged as one of the best gene delivery vectors for human gene therapy in vivo. However, the clinical efficacy of rAAV gene therapy is often hindered by the host immune response against its transgene products. Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) is specialised to process peptides presented by class I molecules of major histocompatibility complex.

Introduction: This study aimed to examine the correlation between the growth response in prepubertal children with idiopathic growth hormone (GH) deficiency after 1 year of treatment with GH to the initial clinical and biochemical parameters. Additionally, the secretion dynamics of GH was also studied by analyzing the GH stimulation test profiles in relation to the GH treatment response.
Methods: This retrospective study included 84 prepubertal children (47 males and 37 females) with a definitive diagnosis of GH deficiency.

Background: Ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (p70S6K1) is a member of the AGC family of serine/threonine kinases which plays a role in various cellular processes, including protein synthesis, cell growth, and survival. Dysregulation of p70S6K1, characterized by its overexpression and/or hyperactivation, has been implicated in numerous human pathologies, particularly in several types of cancer. Therefore, generating active, recombinant p70S6K1 is critical for investigating its role in cancer biology and for developing novel diagnostic or therapeutic approaches.

Acute pericarditis, the predominant pericardial disease, often lacks a clear etiology, with 15-30% of patients experiencing recurrence, rising to 20-50% in those with prior relapses. Autoimmune mechanisms significantly contribute to recurrence, with interleukin-1 identified as a pivotal inflammatory mediator. While NSAIDs, colchicine, and steroids remain staples for acute cases, the spotlight in recurrent pericarditis management has shifted toward immunosuppressive medications.
