The human papillomavirus (HPV) plays a central role in cervical carcinogenesis and its oncogene E7 is essential in this process. We showed here that E7 abrogated the G1 cell cycle checkpoint under hypoxia and analyzed key cell cycle related proteins for their potential role in this process. To further explore the mechanism by which E7 bypasses hypoxia-induced G1 arrest, we applied a proteomic approach and used mass spectrometry to search for proteins that are differentially expressed in E7 expressing cells under hypoxia. Among differentially expressed proteins identified, Cdc6 is a DNA replication initiation factor and exhibits oncogenic activities when overexpressed. We have recently demonstrated that Cdc6 was required for E7-induced re-replication. Significantly, here we showed that Cdc6 played a role in E7-mediated G1 checkpoint abrogation under hypoxic condition, and the function could possibly be independent from its role in DNA replication initiation. This study uncovered a new function of Cdc6 in regulating cell cycle progression and has important implications in HPV-associated cancers.

Shift work schedules alter immune cell regulation and accelerate cognitive impairment during aging.

Background: Disturbances of the sleep-wake cycle and other circadian rhythms typically precede the age-related deficits in learning and memory, suggesting that these alterations in circadian timekeeping may contribute to the progressive cognitive decline during aging. The present study examined the role of immune cell activation and inflammation in the link between circadian rhythm dysregulation and cognitive impairment in aging.
Methods: C57Bl/6J mice were exposed to shifted light-dark (LD) cycles (12 h advance/5d) during early adulthood (from ≈ 4-6mo) or continuously to a "fixed" LD12:12 schedule.

Purpose: Based on the demonstration of a circadian rhythm in the human oral mucosa cell cycle, with most cells in the G2/M phase in the afternoon and at night, the present study evaluated the severity of acute radiation esophagitis and treatment outcomes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients receiving radiotherapy (RT) in the daytime versus in the evening.
Methods: From the 488 eligible patients of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), 369 patients received RT in the daytime (before 19:00) and 119 patients received RT in the evening (after 19:00).

Multiomic quantification of the KRAS mutation dosage improves the preoperative prediction of survival and recurrence in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Most cancer mutation profiling studies are laboratory-based and lack direct clinical application. For clinical use, it is necessary to focus on key genes and integrate them with relevant clinical variables. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the dosage of the KRAS G12 mutation, a key pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) variant and to investigate the biological mechanism of the prognosis associated with the dosage of the KRAS G12 mutation.

Errors during cell division lead to aneuploidy, which is associated with genomic instability and cell transformation. In response to aneuploidy, cells activate the tumour suppressor p53 to elicit a surveillance mechanism that halts proliferation and promotes senescence. The molecular sensors that trigger this checkpoint are unclear.

The assembly of Tcrb and Tcra genes require double negative (DN) thymocytes to undergo multiple rounds of programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), followed by their efficient repair. However, mechanisms governing cell cycle checkpoints and specific survival pathways during the repair process remain unclear. Here, we report high-resolution scRNA-seq analyses of individually sorted mouse DN3 and DN4 thymocytes, which reveals a G2M cell cycle checkpoint, in addition to the known G1 checkpoint, during Tcrb and Tcra recombination.
