Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are related to the carcinogenesis of cancers, including glioma. However, the role and mechanism of circRNA pleiotrophin (circ-PTN) remain largely unknown.

Methods: Glioma tissues (n = 30) and normal tissues were obtained. Glioma cell lines LN229 and A172 were cultured for experiments in vitro. circ-PTN, microRNA-432-5p (miR-432-5p) and Ras-related protein Rab-10 (RAB10) levels were examined via quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction or western blot. Cell proliferation, invasion and glycolysis were examined via 3-(4, 5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide, colony formation analysis, transwell invasion analysis, specific glucose, lactate or adenosine triphosphate assay kit and western blot. The relationship of miR-432-5p and circ-PTN or RAB10 was analyzed via dual-luciferase reporter analysis. The effect of circ-PTN on glioma development in vivo was explored by a murine xenograft model.

Results: circ-PTN expression was enhanced and miR-432-5p abundance was reduced in glioma tissues and cells. circ-PTN silence suppressed cell proliferation, invasion and glycolysis. circ-PTN regulated glioma development by directly sponging miR-432-5p. RAB10 was a target of miR-432-5p and miR-432-5p inhibited cell proliferation, invasion and glycolysis by targeting RAB10. circ-PTN could modulate RAB10 expression via miR-432-5p. circ-PTN knockdown reduced glioma cell xenograft tumor growth in vivo.

Conclusion: circ-PTN knockdown repressed cell proliferation, invasion and glycolysis in glioma via modulating miR-432-5p and RAB10.

Exploring the dual roles of sec-dependent effectors from Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus in immunity of citrus plants.

The three SDEs of CLas were expressed in citrus leaves by AuNPs-PEI mediated transient expression system, and promoted the proliferation of CLas and inhibited citrus immunity. Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most severe bacterial disease of citrus caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). CLas suppress host immune responses and promote infection by sec-dependent effectors (SDEs), thus insight into HLB pathogenesis is urgently needed to develop effective management strategies.

We build and study an individual based model of the telomere length's evolution in a population across multiple generations. This model is a continuous time typed branching process, where the type of an individual includes its gamete mean telomere length and its age. We study its Malthusian's behaviour and provide numerical simulations to understand the influence of biologically relevant parameters.

Background/aims: Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) are multipotent adult cells commonly used in regenerative medicine as advanced therapy medicinal products. The expansion of these cells in xeno-free supplements is highly encouraged by regulatory agencies due to safety concerns. However, the number of supplements with robust performance and consistency for hMSC expansion are limited.

CAR T-cell therapy has achieved remarkable clinical success in treating hematological malignancies. However, its clinical efficacy in solid tumors is less satisfactory, partially due to poor in vivo expansion and limited persistence of CAR-T cells. Here, we demonstrated that the overexpression of glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor-related protein ligand (GITRL) enhances the anti-tumor activity of CAR-T cells.

One hallmark of cancer is the upregulation and dependency on glucose metabolism to fuel macromolecule biosynthesis and rapid proliferation. Despite significant pre-clinical effort to exploit this pathway, additional mechanistic insights are necessary to prioritize the diversity of metabolic adaptations upon acute loss of glucose metabolism. Here, we investigated a potent small molecule inhibitor to Class I glucose transporters, KL-11743, using glycolytic leukemia cell lines and patient-based model systems.
