Published: December 2013

To improve antibody production in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, the humanized antibody-producing CHO DP-12-SF cell line was transfected with the gene encoding activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), a central factor in the unfolded protein response. Overexpression of ATF4 significantly enhanced the production of antibody in the CHO DP-12-SF cell line. The specific IgG production rate of in the ATF4-overexpressing CHO-ATF4-16 cells was approximately 2.4 times that of the parental host cell line. Clone CHO-ATF4-16 did not show any change in growth rate compared with the parental cells or mock-transfected CHO-DP12-SF cells. The expression levels of mRNAs encoding both the antibody heavy and light chains in the CHO-ATF4-16 clone were analyzed. This analysis showed that ATF4 overexpression improved the total production and specific production rate of antibody without affecting the mRNA transcription level. These results indicate that ATF4 overexpression is a promising method for improving recombinant IgG production in CHO cells.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a serious inflammatory disease with high incidence rate and mortality. It was confirmed that overactivation of autophagy in acinar cells can increase the risk of AP. Nevertheless, the regulatory mechanism of autophagy in AP is unclear.

Background: Tectorigenin (TEC) is a monomer of anthocyanin, which we found exhibits hepatoprotective effects. tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) and ferroptosis play important roles in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Recent discoveries have revealed that histone lactylation and acetylation play a crucial role in connecting cellular metabolism and epigenetic regulation through post-translational modification of histones.

Sodium aescinate (SA), a natural plant extract with various bioactivities, is widely used to treat oedema and inflammation in clinics. However, adverse events, including liver injury, kidney injury, and phlebitis, have been reported in patients with SA in recent years. In this study, we used BALB/c mice and L02 cells to evaluate the role of ferroptosis in SA-induced liver injury.

eIF2α phosphorylation-ATF4 axis-mediated transcriptional reprogramming mitigates mitochondrial impairment during ER stress.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) phosphorylation, which regulates all 3 unfolded protein response pathways, helps maintain cellular homeostasis and overcome endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress through transcriptional and translational reprogramming. However, transcriptional regulation of mitochondrial homeostasis by eIF2α phosphorylation during ER stress is not fully understood. Here, we report that the eIF2α phosphorylation-activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) axis is required for the expression of multiple transcription factors, including nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 and its target genes responsible for mitochondrial homeostasis during ER stress.

Background: Interactions between RNA-binding proteins and RNA regulate RNA transcription during osteoporosis. Ferroptosis, a programmed cell death caused by iron metabolism, plays a vital role in osteoporosis. However, the mechanisms by which RNA-binding proteins are involved in ferroptosis during osteoporosis remain unclear.
