Unlabelled: J-Lat cells are derivatives of the Jurkat CD4+ T cell line that contain a non-infectious, inducible HIV provirus with a GFP tag. While these cells have substantially advanced our understanding of HIV latency, their use by many laboratories in low and middle-income countries is restricted by limited access to flow cytometry. To overcome this barrier, we describe a modified J-Lat assay using a standard microplate reader that detects HIV-GFP expression following treatment with latency-reversing agents (LRAs).

Hyperreflexia associated with spasticity is a prevalent neurological condition characterized by excessive and exaggerated reflex responses to stimuli. Hyperreflexia can be caused by several diseases including multiple sclerosis, stroke and spinal cord injury (SCI). Although we have previously identified the contribution of the RAC1-PAK1 pathway underlying spinal hyperreflexia with SCI-induced spasticity, a feasible druggable target has not been validated.

Unlabelled: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma-(PDAC) needs innovative approaches due to its 12% 5-year survival despite current therapies. We show marked sensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells to the combination of a novel eIF4A inhibitor, des-methyl pateamine A (DMPatA), and a histone deacetylase inhibitor, romidepsin, inducing epigenetic reprogramming as an innovative therapeutic strategy. Exploring the mechanistic activity of this combination showed that with a short duration of romidepsin at low doses, robust acetylation persisted up to 48h with the combination, while histone acetylation rapidly faded with monotherapy.

Background: Synovial sarcoma (SS) is an fusion gene-driven soft tissue sarcoma with mesenchymal characteristics, associated with a poor prognosis due to frequent metastasis to a distant organ, such as the lung. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (HDACis) are arising as potent molecular targeted drugs, as HDACi treatment disrupts the SS oncoprotein complex, which includes HDACs, in addition to general HDACi effects. To provide further molecular evidence for the advantages of HDACi treatment and its limitations due to drug resistance induced by the microenvironment in SS cells, we examined cellular responses to HDACi treatment in combination with two-dimensional (2D) and 3D culture conditions.
