The baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) possesses p35 gene, which encodes antiapoptosis protein P35 (or Ac-P35). A previous study showed that deleting p35 promoted premature cytolysis and caused the reduction of virus yield. In this report, we examined the role of P35 in regulating the expression of Ac-IAPs (inhibitor of apoptosis proteins in AcMNPV) and SfP53 (an apoptosis protein in Sf9 cells), and its effect on the production of progeny virus. Results showed that the overexpression of P35 caused a delay in the increase process of SfP53 before 36-h post infection and improved the transcription levels of iaps gene dramatically; it was more favorable to improve the transcription level of iap1 at 24-72 h post infection. Moreover, P35 could promote the production of progeny virus. This is the first study to disclose the relationship among p35, iap1, iap2, Sfp53 and the replication of the virus in the AcMNPV infection process, which provides the basis for improving the insecticidal activity of recombinant AcMNPV in terms of theory and technology.

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is the most frequent genetic renal disease with a complex physiopathology. More and more studies sustain that inflammation plays a crucial role in ADPKD pathogenesis and progression. We evaluated IL-12 involvement in ADPKD pathophysiology by assessing the serum levels of its monomers and heterodimers.

Periodontitis was reported to be associated with aspiration pneumonia. However, the relationship between periodontitis and aspiration pneumonia remains unclear. This study investigated the virulence factor of Porphyromonas gingivalis, which exacerbates aspiration pneumonia, and the role of IL-35, an inhibitory heterodimeric cytokine of EBI3 and p35, in aspiration pneumonia using Ebi3 knockout (KO) mice.

Introduction: Down syndrome (DS) is associated with difficulties with feeding during infancy and childhood. Weaning, or transitioning from nursing to independent deglutition, requires developmental progression in tongue function. However, little is known about whether postnatal tongue muscle maturation is impacted in DS.

Introduction: Diamond Blackfan anaemia (DBA) is a rare disorder characterized by failure of red blood cell production, congenital abnormalities and cancer predisposition, primarily caused by pathogenic germline variants in genes encoding ribosomal proteins.
Methods: We conducted a genotype-phenotype and outcome study of 121 patients with DBA spanning the 20-year history of the National Cancer Institute's Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes study. Patient phenotypes were compared by large versus small ribosomal protein genes, across genes with >5 cases (, , and ) and by type of pathogenic variants (hypomorphic versus null, large deletions versus others).

Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is associated with long-term neurodevelopmental deficits resulting in impaired executive functioning and motor control. Intriguingly, PAE has been linked with an increased risk of transient systemic hypoxia-ischemia (TSHI), which alone results in suboptimal fetal growth and neurodevelopmental consequences. Here, using two translationally relevant preclinical models, we investigated the short-term and lasting effects of PAE and TSHI on the morphology of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), a region important in executive function, and tested whether PAE interacts with TSHI to produce a distinct pattern of injury relative to either condition alone.
