T-cell population consists of two major subsets, CD4 T cells and CD8 T cells, which can be distinguished by the expression of CD4 or CD8 molecules, respectively. Although they play quite different roles in the immune system, many of their basic cellular processes such as proliferation following stimulation are presumably common. In this study, we have carefully analyzed time-course of G0/1 transition as well as cell cycle progression in the two subsets of quiescent T-cell population following in vitro growth stimulation. We found that CD8 T cells promote G0/1 transition more rapidly and drive their cell cycle progression faster compared to CD4 T cells. In addition, expression of CD25 and effects of its blockade revealed that IL-2 is implicated in the rapid progression, but not the earlier G0/1 transition, of CD8 T cells.

is an obligate intracellular parasite that modulates a broad range of host cell functions to guarantee its intracellular development and replication. includes three classical clonal lineages exhibiting different degrees of virulence. Regarding the genetic diversity of circulating in Europe, type II strains and, to a lesser extent, type III strains are the dominant populations, both in humans and animals.

Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) is a rare but highly aggressive malignancy with biphasic growth pattern. This morphology can be attributed to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that often associates with tumor invasion and metastasis. Accordingly, we analyzed a novel patient-derived preclinical model to explore whether EMT is a potential target in UCS.

E26 transformation-specific variant transcription factor 5 (ETV5) contributes to tumor growth and progression and promotes colorectal cancer (CRC) angiogenesis. Previous studies indicate that ETV5 may regulate the cell cycle, but its detailed mechanism remain unclear. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of RNA-seq data revealed that ETV5 possibly regulates the cell cycle in CRC.

Basement membrane proteins as a substrate for efficient Trypanosoma brucei differentiation in vitro.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how to mimic the differentiation process of Trypanosoma brucei, a parasite that affects mammals, in a lab setting using a specialized gel called basement membrane extract (BME).
  • Researchers found that BME provides necessary proteins that support the transition from the slender forms of the parasite to the stumpy forms, which is important for its life cycle.
  • The results indicate that using BME allows for a more accurate study of this process without needing to rely on live animal experiments, showing potential for better understanding the biology of the parasite.

Delivery of tumor-specific inhibitors is a challenge in cancer treatment. Antibody-modified nanoparticles can deliver their loaded drugs to tumor cells that overexpress specific tumor-associated antigens. Here, we constructed sorafenib-loaded polyethylene glycol-b-PLGA polymer nanoparticles modified with antibody hGC33 to glypican-3 (GPC3 +), a membrane protein overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma.
