Published: September 2020

Deciphering cell cycle phases of polyphenic tissues is an important challenge in understanding the cellular mechanism of polymorphism. We use flow cytometry to analyze cell cycle phases of short wings and long wings of the brown planthopper. This provides information on the arresting cell cycle phases in different wing forms. The protocol could be applied to analysis of the cell cycle phases of other polyphenic insects and in different polyphenic tissues after modification. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lin et al. (2020).

Shift work schedules alter immune cell regulation and accelerate cognitive impairment during aging.

J Neuroinflammation

January 2025

Department of Neuroscience and Experimental Therapeutics, School of Medicine, Texas A&M Health Science Center, Bryan, TX, 77807-3260, USA.

Background: Disturbances of the sleep-wake cycle and other circadian rhythms typically precede the age-related deficits in learning and memory, suggesting that these alterations in circadian timekeeping may contribute to the progressive cognitive decline during aging. The present study examined the role of immune cell activation and inflammation in the link between circadian rhythm dysregulation and cognitive impairment in aging.

Methods: C57Bl/6J mice were exposed to shifted light-dark (LD) cycles (12 h advance/5d) during early adulthood (from ≈ 4-6mo) or continuously to a "fixed" LD12:12 schedule.

Purpose: Based on the demonstration of a circadian rhythm in the human oral mucosa cell cycle, with most cells in the G2/M phase in the afternoon and at night, the present study evaluated the severity of acute radiation esophagitis and treatment outcomes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients receiving radiotherapy (RT) in the daytime versus in the evening.

Methods: From the 488 eligible patients of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), 369 patients received RT in the daytime (before 19:00) and 119 patients received RT in the evening (after 19:00). The grades of radiation esophagitis (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.

Most cancer mutation profiling studies are laboratory-based and lack direct clinical application. For clinical use, it is necessary to focus on key genes and integrate them with relevant clinical variables. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the dosage of the KRAS G12 mutation, a key pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) variant and to investigate the biological mechanism of the prognosis associated with the dosage of the KRAS G12 mutation.

Errors during cell division lead to aneuploidy, which is associated with genomic instability and cell transformation. In response to aneuploidy, cells activate the tumour suppressor p53 to elicit a surveillance mechanism that halts proliferation and promotes senescence. The molecular sensors that trigger this checkpoint are unclear.

The assembly of Tcrb and Tcra genes require double negative (DN) thymocytes to undergo multiple rounds of programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), followed by their efficient repair. However, mechanisms governing cell cycle checkpoints and specific survival pathways during the repair process remain unclear. Here, we report high-resolution scRNA-seq analyses of individually sorted mouse DN3 and DN4 thymocytes, which reveals a G2M cell cycle checkpoint, in addition to the known G1 checkpoint, during Tcrb and Tcra recombination.
