Two discrete simian virus 40 (SV40) RNA species sedimenting at 19 and 16S, respectively, that are present in infected BS-C-1 cells were characterized with respect to the base composition and the ribonuclease T1 fingerprints. The base composition of the 19S SV40 RNA was found to be cytidylic acid (C), 23.0; adenylic acid (A), 28.3; guanylic acid (G), 23.9; and uridylic acid (U), 24.8; that of the 16S SV40 RNA was C, 19.3; A, 34.0; G, 22.0; and U, 24.7 mol%. Analysis of the ribonuclease T1 fingerprints indicated a difference in the base sequence of the 19 and 16S SV40 RNA. The presence of long sequences of adenylic acid residues (poly A) in these viral RNAs was confirmed.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the glycoprotein clusterin (CLU), which is important for cell growth and repairing DNA, and its effects on human astrocytic cell lines, showing that suppressing CLU leads to decreased cell growth and increased DNA damage response.
- - Researchers found that reducing CLU levels caused oxidative stress and triggered cellular aging (senescence) in astrocytoma cells and normal astrocytes, impacting mitochondrial function and altering energy production markers.
- - The findings highlight the crucial role of CLU in maintaining the cell cycle in astrocytes, suggesting that targeting CLU could be a promising strategy for treating gliomas (a type of brain tumor).
BK Virus Nephropathy After Kidney Transplantation and Its Diagnosis Using Urinary Micro RNA.
Transplant Proc

BK virus-associated nephritis (BKVAN) is an important cause of graft loss in renal transplant recipients B K viremia occurs in up to 30% of renal transplant recipients. Since the discovery of BKV in 1971, effective prophylaxis and treatment have not been established, and it is not uncommon for a transplant kidney to be lost without cure of BKVAN. BK virus infection is reactivated when cellular immunity is suppressed, which is often during the first year after kidney transplantation when cellular immunity is most suppressed.

Characterizing unknown viruses is essential for understanding viral ecology and preparing against viral outbreaks. Recovering complete genome sequences from environmental samples remains computationally challenging using metagenomics, especially for low-abundance species with uneven coverage. We present an experimental method for reliably recovering complete viral genomes from complex environmental samples.

The senescence-associated protein p16 acts as a limiter element in cell-cycle progression. The loss of p16 function is causally related to cellular immortalization. The increase in p16 levels with advancing age was demonstrated in melanocytes.

Background: Ginsenoside Rg3 is an active saponin isolated from ginseng, which can reduce renal inflammation. However, the role and mechanism of Rg3 in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) are far from being studied.
Methods: The effects of Rg3 and miR-216a-5p on the proliferation, apoptosis, and MAPK pathway in high glucose (HG)-induced SV40 MES 13 were monitored by CCK-8, TUNEL staining, and western blot.
