The inbred mouse strain CWD/LeAgl, which has a high incidence of spontaneous B-cell lymphomas, expresses both ecotropic MuLV and MCF viruses. Studies indicated that the MCF viruses expressed in CWD tumors were characteristic of nononcogenic MCF viruses and that ecotropic MuLV may be the etiological agent in spontaneous B-cell lymphomagenesis. Somatically acquired proviruses of approximately the same size were detected in several tumor DNAs suggesting that integration of proviral sequences into specific regions of the mouse genome may be an important step in lymphomagenesis of this strain.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by dysregulated B cell activation, autoantibody production, and nephritis. B cell activating factor (BAFF) overexpression enhances autoreactive B-cell survival, driving autoimmunity. BAFF specific belimumab and CD20 specific rituximab antibodies are used for SLE therapy but are not curative, highlighting the need for alternative B cell depletion therapies.

Objectives: To investigate the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of extract on motor dysfunction in mouse model of Parkinson's disease (PD).
Methods: Eighty C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into five groups: control group, PD model group, levodopa treatment group (positive control group), low-dose GP treatment group (LD-GP group), and high-dose GP treatment group (HD-GP group), with 16 mice per group. The PD model was induced by injection of 6-hydroxydopamine into the substantia nigra pars reticulata in mice of last 5 groups.

Background: Post-COVID-19 respiratory sequelae often involve lung damage, which is called residual lung abnormalities, and potentially lead to chronic respiratory issues. The adaptive immune response, involving T-cells and B-cells, plays a critical role in pathogen control, inflammation, and tissue repair. However, the link between immune dysregulation and the development of residual lung abnormalities remains unclear.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells receive several stimuli from surrounding cells, such as B-cell receptor (BCR) stimulation, and can manipulate their microenvironment via extracellular vesicle (EV) release. Here, we investigated the small RNA content (microRNA and YRNA) of CLL-EVs from leukemic cells cultured with/without BCR stimulation. We highlight an increase of miR-155-5p, miR-146a-5p, and miR-132-3p in EVs and in cells after BCR stimulation ( < 0.
