Modifying gene expression in lymphocytes is essential for immunological research; however, gene transfection methods for group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are not well established. Here, we present a protocol utilizing lentiviral vectors to introduce genes into human ILC2s. We detail steps for lentiviral solution preparation, transfection, and selection of transfected cells. This protocol allows overexpression or suppression of specific genes and evaluation of the changes in ILC2 biology. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Irie et al. (2023)..

Nanomedicine, particularly gene delivery, holds immense potential and offers promising therapeutic options. Non-viral systems gained attention due to their binding capacity, stability and scalability. Among these, natural polysaccharides, such as pullulan, are advantageous in terms of sustainability, biocompatibility and potential degradability.

Background: Cancer stem cells in human tumors have been defined by stem cell markers, embryonal signaling pathways and characteristic biology, ie., namely the ability to repopulate the proliferating population. However, even if these properties can be demonstrated within a tumor cell subpopulation, it does not mean that they are truly hierarchical stem cells because they could have been derived from the proliferating population in a reversible manner.

We present the first use of a bioengineered mammalian transposase system derived from Myotis lucifugus (bMLT) for integration of expression vectors into the CHO genome, focusing on GFP and trastuzumab production. Initially, CHO-K1 cells are transfected with a GFP reporter and varying amounts of bMLT DNA or mRNA. GFP expression is monitored over 17 weeks without selective pressure.

Gonadotroph neuroendocrine pituitary tumors are among the most common intracranial neoplasms. A notable proportion of these tumors is characterized by invasive growth which hampers the treatment results and worsens prognoses of patients. Increased hsa-miR-184 expression was observed in invasive as compared to non-invasive gonadotroph tumors.

Background: () is one of the most common pathogens associated with deep fungal infection, which represents a serious threat to human health. Although high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) plays a key role in infection, its mechanism is unclear. We aimed to explore the regulation of small-molecule non-coding RNA (miRNA) for HMGB1 in infection.
