Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is a rapidly emerging pathogen in Asia, including China. Genetic manipulation of the LSDV is essential for the elucidation of the pathogenic mechanism and biological function of the LSDV-encoded protein. In this study, we established a platform for the Cre-loxP recombination system under a modified early-late H5 promoter of the VACV for quick construction of the recombinant LSDV virus. The recombinant virus, LSDV-EGFP-ΔTK, was purified and obtained using serial limited dilution and picking the single cells methods. Using the lentiviral package system, a Cre recombinase enzyme stable expression MDBK cell line was established to supply the Cre recombinase for the reporter gene excision. A genetically stable, safe TK gene-deleted LSDV (LSDV-ΔTK) was constructed using homologous recombination and the Cre-loxP system. It was purified using limited dilution in the MDBK-Cre cell line. Establishing the Cre-loxP recombination system will enable sequential deletion of the interested genes from the LSDV genome and genetic manipulation of the LSDV genome, providing technical support and a platform for developing the attenuated LSDV vaccine.

The unique architecture of the liver consists of hepatic lobules, dividing the hepatic features of metabolism into 2 distinct zones, namely the pericentral and periportal zones, the spatial characteristics of which are broadly defined as metabolic zonation. R-spondin3 (Rspo3), a bioactive protein promoting the Wnt signaling pathway, regulates metabolic features especially around hepatic central veins. However, the functional impact of hepatic metabolic zonation, regulated by the Rspo3/Wnt signaling pathway, on whole-body metabolism homeostasis remains poorly understood.

The recent study from the Pogge von Strandmann group published in , by Alashkar Alhamwe ., combined for the first time the Cre-LoxP recombination system with single-cell sequencing. The group monitored the tumor-derived extracellular vesicle (EV) uptake and the EV functions in the recipient non-malignant cells in a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma mouse model.

Inclusive, exclusive and hierarchical atlas of NFATc1/PDGFR-α cells in dental and periodontal mesenchyme.

Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFR-α) activity is crucial in the process of dental and periodontal mesenchyme regeneration facilitated by autologous platelet concentrates (APCs), such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and concentrated growth factors (CGF), as well as by recombinant PDGF drugs. However, it is largely unclear about the physiological patterns and cellular fate determinations of PDGFR-α cells in the homeostasis maintaining of adult dental and periodontal mesenchyme. We previously identified NFATc1 expressing PDGFR-α cells as a subtype of skeletal stem cells (SSCs) in limb bone in mice, but their roles in dental and periodontal remain unexplored.

Introduction: Liver fibrosis is the common fate of NASH and poses a major health threat with very limited pharmacological treatments.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the preventive effect of hinokitone (HO), an isolated compound from Agathis dammara, on NASH fibrosis and its underlying mechanism.

Methods: To investigate the effect of HO on NASH fibrosis, C57BL/6 mice were either fed a high-fat diet (HFD) in conjunction with intraperitoneal injection of CCl for 8 weeks or single CCl for 14 days to establish mouse liver fibrosis model, and HO was administered by gavage simultaneously.
