It is known that heterologous antiserum against rat kidney homogenate may induce congenital malformations when injected into pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis. Teratogenic rabbit antibodies against a purified rat renal tubular glycoprotein were isolated, labelled with 125I and injected into pregnant rats on the 10th day of gestation. Extracts of visceral yolk-sacs (VYS) and embryos were obtained 16 h later and chromatographed separately on a Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration column. The resultant chromatograms showed several radioactive peaks, one of which coincided with the eluate of intact rabbit immunoglobulins G (IgG). We interpret the result as an indication that some undigested intact teratogenic IgG were present in VYS and the embryo.

Drug repurposing screen targeting PARP identifies cytotoxic activity of efavirenz in high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
Mol Ther Oncol

Drug Repurposing and Medicines Research Program, Hunter Medical Research Institute, New Lambton Heights, NSW 2305, Australia.
Drug repurposing has potential to improve outcomes for high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Repurposing drugs with PARP family binding activity may produce cytotoxic effects through the multiple mechanisms of PARP including DNA repair, cell-cycle regulation, and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to determine existing drugs that have PARP family binding activity and can be repurposed for treatment of HGSOC.

Article Synopsis
- Aripiprazole (ARI) is a newer antipsychotic classified as FDA pregnancy category C, with mixed information about its safety for pregnant women.
- In an experiment, 125 fertilized eggs were divided into groups and exposed to different doses of ARI; various analyses were conducted on the embryos after hatching to assess development and genetic changes.
- Results showed significant negative effects on the embryos' neural tube formation, growth, and gene expression, indicating that ARI exposure may hinder early development and raise concerns about its potential teratogenic effects in pregnant women.
Combined reproductive and developmental toxicity study of pesticide abamectin on male and female Wistar Hannover rats.

Abamectin is a widely used pesticide and anthelmintic for humans and animals. Previous toxicological studies showed evidence of adverse effects on reproduction, but the findings were inconclusive. Abamectin is known to exhibit teratogenic activity, causing different malformations during developmental stages in rats and rabbits.

Electronic address:
Recently, we found that 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) - the most toxic dioxin - affected multiple cellular processes in AhR-knocked-down granulosa cells, including the expression of genes and the abundance of proteins. Such alterations may imply the involvement of noncoding RNAs in the remodeling of intracellular regulatory tracks. The aims of the current study were to examine the effects of TCDD on the expression of lncRNAs in AhR-knocked-down granulosa cells of pigs and to indicate potential target genes for differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs).

Metabolic networks are complex, intersecting, and composed of numerous enzyme-catalyzed biochemical reactions that transfer various molecular moieties among metabolites. Thus, robust reconstruction of metabolic networks requires metabolite moieties to be tracked, which cannot be readily achieved with mass spectrometry (MS) alone. We previously developed an Ion Chromatography-ultrahigh resolution-MS/data independent-MS method to track the simultaneous incorporation of the heavy isotopes C and N into the moieties of purine/pyrimidine nucleotides in mammalian cells.
