Transient transfection is a well-established method to rapidly express recombinant proteins from mammalian cells. Accelerating activity in biotherapeutic drug development, demand for protein-based reagents, vaccine research, and large initiatives in structural and functional studies of proteins have propelled the need to generate moderate to high amounts of recombinant proteins and other macromolecules in a flexible and rapid manner. Progress over the last 10-15 years has demonstrated that transient transfections can be reliably and readily scaled up to handle milliliters to tens of liters of cells in suspension culture and obtain milligrams to grams of recombinant protein in a process that requires only days to weeks. This review will summarize developments in this field, properties of the components of a transient expression system that enable maximal protein production, and detailed protocols for this application.

Conformational protection of molybdenum nitrogenase by Shethna protein II.
Nature
January 2025
Institut für Biochemie, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
The oxygen-sensitive molybdenum-dependent nitrogenase of Azotobacter vinelandii is protected from oxidative damage by a reversible 'switch-off' mechanism. It forms a complex with a small ferredoxin, FeSII (ref. ) or the 'Shethna protein II', which acts as an O sensor and associates with the two component proteins of nitrogenase when its [2Fe:2S] cluster becomes oxidized.

Non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) are widely employed in foodstuffs. However, it has become increasingly evident that their consumption is associated with bacterial dysbiosis, which, in turn, is linked to several health conditions, including a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and cancer. Among the NNS, stevia, whose main component is rebaudioside A (rebA), is gaining popularity in the organic food market segment.

Department of Spleen and Stomach Diseases, the Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Southwest Medical University, Luzhou 646000, Sichuan Province, China.
Background: Esophageal stricture ranks among the most significant complications following endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Excessive fibrotic repair is a typical pathological feature leading to stenosis after ESD.
Aim: To examine the effectiveness and underlying mechanism of Kangfuxin solution (KFX) in mitigating excessive fibrotic repair of the esophagus post-ESD.
An experimental chimeric hepatitis E virus vaccine elicits both local and systemic immune responses.

Introduction: The development of a hepatitis E virus (HEV) vaccine is critical, with ORF2 capsid protein as the main target. We previously demonstrated that oral coadministration of recombinant ORF2 with immunomodulatory bacterium-like-particles (IBLP) induces a specific immune response in mice, particularly using IBLP derived from IBL027 (IBLP027), which was effective in eliciting a local humoral response. IBLP are non-live bacteria with adjuvant and carrier properties, serving as a platform for exposing proteins or antigens fused to LysM (lysine motif) domains, protein modules that bind to cell wall polysaccharides like peptidoglycan.

J Appl Toxicol

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) can induce the cell cycle arrest in spermatogonia, and the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in cell cycle progression, but the specific upstream regulatory mechanisms are not completely clarified. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether CXCL13 regulated the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway to participate in cell cycle arrest after mouse spermatogonia cell line (GC-1) exposure to TiO NPs. The GC-1 cells were treated with TiO NPs at different concentrations (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 μg/mL) for 24 h to detect cell viability, cell cycle distribution, CXCL13 protein, JAK2/STAT3 pathway-related proteins, and cell cycle-related proteins.
