The pR plasmid, which enhances the survival of Escherichia coli C600 exposed to UV light by induction of the SOS regulatory mechanism, showed the same effect when it transformed mouse LTA cells (tk-, aprt-). With Tn5 insertion mutagenesis which inactivates UV functions in the pR plasmid, we recognized two different regions of the plasmid, uvp1 and uvp2. These pR UVR- mutants exhibited the same effect in LTA transformed cells, demonstrating that resistance to UV light, carried by the pR plasmid, was really due to the expression of these two regions, which were also in the mouse cells. Statistical analysis showed that the expression of the uvp1 and uvp2 regions significantly increased (P less than 0.01) the survival upon exposure to UV light in mouse cells and bacteria. These results might suggest the presence of an inducible repair response to DNA damage in mouse LTA cells.

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are a group of autoimmune disorders characterized by immune cell infiltration of muscle tissue accompanied by inflammation. Treatment of IIMs is challenging, with few effective therapeutic options due to the lack of appropriate models that successfully recapitulate the features of IIMs observed in humans. In the present study, we demonstrate that immunodeficient mice transplanted with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs) exhibit the key pathologic features of myositis observed in humans and develop graft-versus-host disease.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive cancer with limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. The critical role of epigenetic alterations such as changes in DNA methylation, histones modifications, and chromatin remodeling, in pancreatic tumors progression is becoming increasingly recognized. Moreover, in PDAC these aberrant epigenetic mechanisms can also limit therapy efficacy.

Background: Dysfunction in podocyte mitophagy has been identified as a contributing factor to the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), and BMAL1 plays an important role in the regulation of mitophagy. Thus, this study intended to examine the impact of BMAL1 on podocyte mitophagy in DN and elucidate its underlying mechanisms.
Materials And Methods: High D-glucose (HG)-treated MPC5 cells was used as a podocyte injury model for investigating the potential roles of BMAL1 in DN.

Background: HCC is characterized by a high interstitial fluid pressure (HIFP) environment, which appears to support cancer cell survival. However, the mechanisms behind this phenomenon are not fully understood.
Methods: This study investigates the role of kinesin family member 11 (KIF11) in HCC under HIFP conditions, using both in vivo and in vitro models.
