Background: TOBAMOVIRUS MULTIPLICATION 1 (TOM1) and its homolog TOBAMOVIRUS MULTIPLICATION 3 (TOM3) play a prominent role in the multiplication of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in higher plants. Although homologs of NtTOM1/TOM3 genes have been identified in several plant species, little is known about the characteristics and functions of NtTOM1/TOM3 at the genome-wide level in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.).
Results: In this study, we performed genome-wide identification and expression pattern analysis of the tobacco NtTOM1/TOM3 gene family. Twelve NtTOM1/TOM3 genes were identified and classified into four groups based on phylogenetic analysis. Sequence and conserved domain analyses showed that all these genes contained a specific DUF1084 domain. Expression pattern analysis showed that NtTOM1a, NtTOM1b, NtTOM1d, NtTOM3a, NtTOM3b, and NtTOM3d were induced by TMV at 1-, 3-, and 9 dpi, whereas the expression of other genes was not responsive to TMV at the early infection stage. TMV virion accumulation showed no obvious difference in either nttom1a or nttom3a mutants compared with the wild type. However, the virus propagation was significantly, but not completely, inhibited in the nttom1atom3a double mutant, indicating that other gene family members may function redundantly, such as NtTOM1b and NtTOM1d. In addition, overexpression of NtTOM1a or NtTOM3a also inhibited the TMV replication to some extent.
Conclusions: The present study performed genome-wide analysis of the NtTOM1/TOM3 gene family in tobacco, and identified NtTOM1a and NtTOM3a as important genes involved in TMV multiplication based on functional analysis. These results provide a theoretical basis for further improving TMV resistance in tobacco.

Cancer survivors have an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared to the general population. Patients treated with cisplatin, a common chemotherapeutic agent, are more likely to develop metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes than age- and sex-matched controls. Surprisingly, the impact of cisplatin on pancreatic islets has not been reported.

To identify factors involved in methamphetamine (METH) neurotoxicity, we comprehensively searched for genes which were differentially expressed in mouse striatum after METH administration using differential display (DD) reverse transcription-PCR method and sequent single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis, and found two DD cDNA fragments later identified as mRNA of Nedd4 (neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4) WW domain-binding protein 5 (N4WBP5), later named Nedd4 family-interacting protein 1 (Ndfip1). It is an adaptor protein for the binding between Nedd4 of ubiquitin ligase (E3) and target substrate protein for ubiquitination. Northern blot analysis confirmed drastic increases in Ndfip1 mRNA in the striatum after METH injections, and in situ hybridization histochemistry showed that the mRNA expression was increased in the hippocampus and cerebellum at 2 h-2 days, in the cerebral cortex and striatum at 18 h-2 days after single METH administration.

Purpose: Doxorubicin (Dox) is a classic anthracycline chemotherapy drug with cause cumulative and dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate the potential role and molecular mechanism of phenylacetylglutamine (PAGln), a novel gut microbiota metabolite, in Dox-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC).
Methods: DIC models were established in vivo and in vitro, and a series of experiments were performed to verify the cardioprotective effect of PAGln.
Background: Familial hyperlipidemia (familial hypercholesterolemia, FH) is an autosomal genetic disorder. It includes type heterozygous familial hyperlipidemia (heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia). HeFH is mainly caused by mutations in the LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9 genes and is characterized by elevated plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.

SUMMARYThe human malaria parasite is known for its ability to maintain lengthy infections that can extend for over a year. This property is derived from the parasite's capacity to continuously alter the antigens expressed on the surface of the infected red blood cell, thereby avoiding antibody recognition and immune destruction. The primary target of the immune system is an antigen called PfEMP1 that serves as a cell surface receptor and enables infected cells to adhere to the vascular endothelium and thus avoid filtration by the spleen.
