Objective: Aberrant 6-phosphofructo-2kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphoshatase 3 (PFKFB3) expression is tightly correlated with multiple steps of tumorigenesis; however, the pathological significance of PFKFB3 in macrophages in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains obscure. In this study, we examined whether PFKFB3 modulates macrophage activation and promotes RA development.
Method: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with RA, THP-1 cells, and bone marrow-derived macrophages from conditional PFKFB3-knockout mice were used to investigate the mechanism underlying PFKFB3-induced macrophage regulation of RA.

Formaldehyde (FA) is a hazardous pollutant causing acute and chronic poisoning in humans. While plants provide a natural method of removing FA pollution, their ability to absorb and degrade FA is limited. To improve the ability of plants to degrade FA, we introduced the E.

The gene GAD1 encodes a glutamate decarboxylase, which is a rate-limiting enzyme for the biosynthesis of endogenous γ-aminobutyrate acid (GABA), but a potential role of GAD1 in regulating cadmium (Cd) tolerance needs to be further elucidated in plants. The objective of this study was to investigate Cd tolerance of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) and transgenic yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) or Arabidopsis thaliana overexpressing AsGAD1. The Cd-tolerant creeping bentgrass cultivar LOFTSL-93 accumulated more endogenous GABA in relation to a significant upregulation of AsGAD1 in leaf and root than the Cd-sensitive W66569 in response to Cd stress.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) induce p53-dependent apoptosis in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). To interrogate this phenomenon, a synthetic ITR (SynITR), harboring substitutions in putative p53 binding sites was generated and evaluated for vector production and gene delivery. Replication of SynITR flanked transgenic genome was similar compared to wild type (wt) ITR, with a modest increase in vector titers.

Plants have evolved photoprotective non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) pathways to dissipate excess light energy. In tobacco and soybean (C plants), overexpression of three NPQ genes, e ( V DE), ( P sbS), and ( Z EP), hereafter VPZ, resulted in faster NPQ induction and relaxation kinetics, and increased crop yields in field conditions.
