Background: Non-human primates (NHP) serve as an important bridge for testing therapeutic agents that have been previously shown to be effective in transgenic mouse models. Our earlier published data using an NHP model of sporadic AD-related pathology that develops abundant cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), squirrel monkeys (SQMs), indicates that chronic treatment with TLR9 agonist, class B CpG ODN, safely ameliorates CAA while promoting cognitive benefits. In the present study, we intended to delineate alterations in brain metabolome induced by chronic CpG ODN administration in order to provide further insight into CpG ODN immunomodulatory capabilities.

Small proteins (≤100 amino acids) play important roles across all life forms, ranging from unicellular bacteria to higher organisms. In this study, we have developed SProtFP which is a machine learning-based method for functional annotation of prokaryotic small proteins into selected functional categories. SProtFP uses independent artificial neural networks (ANNs) trained using a combination of physicochemical descriptors for classifying small proteins into antitoxin type 2, bacteriocin, DNA-binding, metal-binding, ribosomal protein, RNA-binding, type 1 toxin and type 2 toxin proteins.

As a putative lung specific oncogene, the transducin-like enhancer of split 1 (TLE1) corepressor drives an anti-apoptotic and pro-epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) gene transcriptional programs in human lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells, thereby promoting anoikis resistance and tumor aggressiveness. Through its survival- and EMT-promoting gene regulatory programs, TLE1 may impact drug sensitivity and resistance in lung cancer cells. In the present study, a novel function of TLE1 was uncovered as an inhibitor of the antitumor effects of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) gefitinib in the human LUAD cell line A549, which exhibits moderate sensitivity to EGFR-TKI.

Compounds featuring bonds between mercury and transition metals are of interest for their intriguing/ambiguous bonding and scarcely explored reactivities. We report herein the synthesis and reactivities of the new compound [(POCOP)Ni]2Hg, [Ni2Hg], featuring a trinuclear Ni-Hg-Ni core (POCOP = κP,κC,κP´-2,6-(i-Pr2PO)2C6H3). [Ni2Hg] reacts with CO2 to give the carbonate-bridged complex [Ni2CO3].

While total RNA concentrations putatively represent ribosome content, there is a need to homologize various quantification approaches. Thus, total RNA concentrations ([RNA]) provided through UV-Vis spectroscopy (UV), fluorometry-only (Fluor), and fluorometry-based microfluidic chip electrophoresis (MFGE) were examined in C2C12 myotubes and mouse skeletal muscle to determine if values aligned with [18S + 28S rRNA] (i.e.
