The human cytomegalovirus major immediate early gene (CMV) promoter is currently the most preferred promoter for recombinant therapeutic proteins (RTPs) production in CHO cells. To enhance the production of RTPs, five synthetic enhancers including multiple transcription factor regulatory elements (TFREs) were evaluated to enhance recombinant protein level in transient and stably transfected CHO cells. Compared with the control, four elements can enhance the report genes expression under both two transfected states. Further, the function of these four enhancers on human serum albumin (HSA) were investigated. We found that the transient expression can increase by up to 1.5 times, and the stably expression can maximum increase by up to 2.14 times. The enhancement of transgene expression was caused by the boost of their corresponding mRNA levels. Transcriptomics analysis was performed and found that transcriptional activation and cell cycle regulation genes were involved. In conclusion, optimization of enhancers in the CMV promoter could increase the production yield of transgene in transfected CHO cells, which has significance for developing high-yield CHO cell expression system.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disorder that arises during pregnancy and heightens the risk of placental dysplasia. Ginsenoside Re (Re) may stabilize insulin and glucagon to regulate glucose levels, which may improve diabetes-associated diseases. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of Re in high glucose (HG)-induced apoptosis of trophoblasts through endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related protein CHOP/GADD153.

Ionizing radiation induces various types of DNA damage, and the reparability and lethal effects of DNA damage differ depending on its spatial density. Elucidating the structure of radiation-induced clustered DNA damage and its repair processes will enhance our understanding of the lethal impact of ionizing radiation and advance progress toward precise therapeutics. Previously, we developed a method to directly visualize DNA damage using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and classified clustered DNA damage into simple base damage clusters (BDCs), complex BDCs and complex double-strand breaks (DSBs).

Evaluation of Plasma microRNA-222 as a Biomarker for Gastric Cancer.

J Clin Med

December 2024

Department of Surgery, Toho University Sakura Medical Center, 564-1 Shimoshizu, Sakura 285-8741, Chiba, Japan.

The dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been detected in patients with gastric cancer (GC), which inspired the use of miRNAs as a novel biomarker for GC. In this study, we investigated the previously reported miRNA dysfunction in cancer tissues as a potential plasma biomarker for GC using quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The published miRNA abnormalities were searched in the microRNA Cancer Association Database.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are essential cell surface proteins involved in transducing extracellular signals into intracellular responses, regulating various physiological processes. This study validated the use of the Tango assay, a sensitive method for detecting GPCR activation, in Schneider 2 (S2) cells, focusing on the human Dopamine Receptor D4 (DRD4). Plasmids encoding the LexA-tagged human DRD4 receptor and a luciferase reporter were co-transfected into S2 cells and stimulated with dopamine.

Phosphate invert glasses (PIGs) have been attracting attention as materials for bone repair. PIGs have a high flexibility in chemical composition because they are composed of orthophosphate and pyrophosphate and can easily incorporate various ions in their glass networks. In our previous work, incorporation of niobium (Nb) into melt-quench-derived PIGs was effective in terms of controlling their ion release, and Nb ions promoted the activity of osteoblast-like cells.
