Objective: To construct a recombinant adenovirus vector containing human pre-miR-193b and investigate its effect on the proliferation of chronic myelocytic leukemia K562 cells.
Methods: The cDNA of pre-miR-193b was obtained by chemical synthesis and inserted into the adenoviral shuttle vector pAdTrack-CMV. The recombinant shuttle plasmid was linearized by Pme I and transformed into AdEasier cells for homologous recombination in E.coli BJ5183 with the adenoviral backbone plasmid pAdEasy-1. The recombinant adenoviral plasmid was linearized by Pac I and then used for transfecting HEK293 cells. After package and amplification in HEK293 cells, the virus titer was determined by serial dilution assay. The expression level of miR-193b in K562 cells was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The cell proliferation was observed by MTT assay.
Results: The recombinant plasmid named pAd-miR-193b was confirmed by restriction enzyme analysis and sequencing. The recombinant adenovirus could infect K562 cells efficiently. Compared with control group, real-time quantitative PCR revealed that the expression of miR-193b was significantly up-regulated in K562 cells infected with pAd-pre-miR-193b, and the cell proliferation was suppressed significantly in K562 cells with up-regulated miR-193b expression.
Conclusion: The over-expression of miR-193b may suppress the proliferation of K562 cells.

Background: Natural killer (NK) cells are important contributors to antitumor immunity in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, their phenotype, function, and association with clinical outcomes in ccRCC remain poorly understood.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed single-cell RNA sequencing data from 13 primary tumors, 1 localized tumor extension, and 1 metastasis from ccRCC patients at different clinical stages.

Background: The challenges associated with traditional drug screening, such as high costs and long screening times, have led to an increase in the use of single-cell isolation technologies. Small sample volumes are required for high-throughput, cell-based assays to reduce assay costs and enable rapid sample processing. Using microfluidic chips, single-cell analysis can be conducted more effectively, requiring fewer reagents and maintaining biocompatibility.

Platelet-like particles (PLPs), derived from megakaryocytic cell lines MEG-01 and K-562, are widely used as a surrogate to study platelet formation and function. We demonstrate by RNA-Seq that PLPs are transcriptionally distinct from platelets. Expression of key genes in signaling pathways promoting platelet activation/aggregation, such as the PI3K/AKT, protein kinase A, phospholipase C, and α-adrenergic and GP6 receptor pathways, was missing or under-expressed in PLPs.

Background: Several approaches are being explored for engineering off-the-shelf chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. In this study, we engineered chimeric Fcγ receptor (FcγR) T cells and tested their potential as a versatile platform for universal T cell therapy.
Methods: Chimeric FcγR (CFR) constructs were generated using three distinct forms of FcγR, namely CD16A, CD32A, and CD64.

l-Asparaginase (l-ASNase) catalyzes the hydrolysis of l-asparagine, leading to its depletion and subsequent effects on the cellular proliferation and survival. In contrast to normal cells, malignant cells that lack asparagine synthase are extremely susceptible to asparagine deficiency. l-ASNase has been successfully employed in treating pediatric leukemias and non-Hodgkin lymphomas; however, its usage in adult patients and other types of cancer is limited due to significant side effects and drug resistance.
