Repeated positive fighting experience in daily agonistic interactions is accompanied by changes of brain neurotransmitter activity and genes' expression in male mice. This paper is focused on the analysis of ribosomal genes expression data as revealed by whole-transcriptome analysis (RNA-Seq) in five brain regions of male mice with long repeated experience of aggression accompanied by wins (winners). Downregulation of most Rps, Rpl, Mrps, and Mrpl genes was found in the midbrain raphe nuclei and striatum and upregulation-in the hippocampus and hypothalamus of the winners. There were no changes in ribosomal gene expression in the ventral tegmental area. The data allow considering the alteration in ribosomal gene expression as an animal model of ribosomal dysfunction developed under positive fighting experience in male mice.

Background: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a leading known genetic cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders (ASD)-associated behaviors. A consistent and debilitating phenotype of FXS is auditory hypersensitivity that may lead to delayed language and high anxiety. Consistent with findings in FXS human studies, the mouse model of FXS, the Fmr1 knock out (KO) mouse, shows auditory hypersensitivity and temporal processing deficits.

Spermatogenesis is one of the most complex processes of cell differentiation and its failure is a major cause of male infertility. Therefore, a proper model that recapitulates spermatogenesis in vitro has been long sought out for basic and clinical research. Testis organ culture using the gas-liquid interphase method has been shown to support spermatogenesis in mice and rats.

Nutrient availability strongly affects intestinal homeostasis. Here, we report that low-protein (LP) diets decrease amino acids levels, impair the DNA damage response (DDR), cause DNA damage and exacerbate inflammation in intestinal tissues of male mice with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Intriguingly, loss of nuclear fragile X mental retardation-interacting protein 1 (NUFIP1) contributes to the amino acid deficiency-induced impairment of the DDR in vivo and in vitro and induces necroptosis-related spontaneous enteritis.

The smoking cessation drug cytisine exerts neuroprotection in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) dopaminergic (DA) neurons of female but not male 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesioned parkinsonian mice. To address the important question of whether circulating 17β-estradiol mediates this effect, we employ two mouse models aimed at depleting systemically circulating 17β-estradiol: (i) bilateral ovariectomy (OVX), and (ii) aromatase inhibition with systemically administered letrozole. In both models, depleting systemically circulating 17β-estradiol in female 6-OHDA lesioned parkinsonian mice results in the loss of cytisine-mediated neuroprotection as measured using apomorphine-induced contralateral rotations and SNc DA neurodegeneration.

Conventional chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-induced cancer senescence, which is characterized by poor proliferation, drug resistance, and senescence-associated secretory phenotype, has gained attention as contributing to cancer relapse and the development of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. However, the association between cancer senescence and anti-tumor immunity is not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that senescent cancer cells increase the level of PD-L1 by promoting its transcription and glycosylation.
