Cell lines transformed by simian virus 40 mutant F8dl (deleted from 0.168 to 0.424 map units, corresponding to the carboxy-terminal 62% of the wild-type simian virus 40 large tumor antigen) are tumorigenic in nude mice. Four of five C3H10T1/2 cell lines transformed by F8dl were tumorigenic in nude mice, whereas two of two wild-type transformants were tumorigenic.

Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction and damage can result in the release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the cytoplasm, which subsequently activates the cGAS-STING pathway, promoting the onset of inflammatory diseases. Various factors, such as oxidative stress, viral infection, and drug toxicity, have been identified as inducers of mitochondrial damage. This study aims to investigate the role of mtDNA as a critical inflammatory mediator in the pathogenesis of ketamine (KET)-induced cystitis (KC) through the cGAS-STING pathway.

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against HIV-1 have been shown to protect from systemic infection. When employing a novel challenge virus that uses HIV-1 Env for entry into target cells during the first replication cycle, but then switches to SIV Env usage, we demonstrated that bnAbs also prevented mucosal infection of the first cells. However, it remained unclear whether antibody Fc-effector functions contribute to this sterilizing immunity.

[Methods to Increase the Efficiency of Knock-in of a Construct Encoding the HIV-1 Fusion Inhibitor, MT-C34 Peptide, into the CXCR4 Locus in the CEM/R5 T Cell Line].

Mol Biol (Mosk)

December 2024

Center of Precision Genome Editing and Genetic Technologies for Biomedicine, Institute of Gene Biology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 119334 Russia.

The low knock-in efficiency, especially in primary human cells, limits the use of the genome editing technology for therapeutic purposes, rendering it important to develop approaches for increasing the knock-in levels. In this work, the efficiencies of several approaches were studied using a model of knock-in of a construct coding for the peptide HIV fusion inhibitor MT-C34 into the human CXCR4 locus in the CEM/R5 T cell line. First, donor DNA modification was evaluated as a means to improve the efficiency of plasmid transport into the nucleus.

We obtained the near-complete simian foamy virus (SFV) genome from an infected human bitten by an African green monkey ( SFVcae_hu501). The genome is 13,062 nucleotides long with the classical SFV genome structure. Phylogenetically, SFVcae_hu501 clustered closely with SFV from (SFVagm_LK3).

Polyomaviruses and the risk of oral cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BMC Oral Health

December 2024

Gastrointestinal Cancer Research Center, Non-Communicable Diseases Institute, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran.

Objectives: Oral cancer (OC) is the most common malignant tumor of the head and neck (HN) and ranks 16th among the most frequently diagnosed cancers worldwide. A systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to provide an evidence-based analysis of the relationship between polyomaviruses and oral cancer.

Methods: The global online databases was used to identify relevant studies published between January 2000 and September 2024.
