Human gastric cancer MKN-45 cells were transfected with pULB 3238, a plasmid carrying MVMp NS-1 gene with its original P4 promoter replaced by the glucocorticoid inducible promoter MMTV-LTR. After the integration and expression of NS-1 gene, some of the transfectants died, while others remained alive, but the growth features of survived cells were changed. For further study on the antineoplastic function of parvoviral NS-1 protein in vivo, transgenic mice carrying NS-1 genes were established by conventional method. Among 4 founders, one of them was found to be able to transmit the transgene to around 50% of their offsprings. RT-PCR was performed to indicate the expression of NS-1 gene in transgenic mice and its mRNA appeared in a variety of tissues. The expression of integrated NS-1 gene may correlate with the decreased incidence of tumor induced in vivo by chemical carcinogens.

Aerobic Exercise Training Protects Against Insulin Resistance, Despite Low-Sodium Diet-Induced Increased Inflammation and Visceral Adiposity.

Dietary sodium restriction increases plasma triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) concentrations as well as causing insulin resistance and stimulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and the sympathetic nervous system. Stimulation of the angiotensin II type-1 receptor (AT1) is associated with insulin resistance, inflammation, and the inhibition of adipogenesis. The current study investigated whether aerobic exercise training (AET) mitigates or inhibits the adverse effects of dietary sodium restriction on adiposity, inflammation, and insulin sensitivity in periepididymal adipose tissue.

To investigate the relationship between amino acid variations of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) nonstructural protein (NS) 1 and the clinical characteristics. A retrospective case review was conducted. From December 2018 to January 2020, a total of 81 cases of hospitalized children who were tested only positive for RSV by RT-PCR or PCR at the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were included in the study.

Article Synopsis
- Powassan virus (POWV) is a dangerous tick-borne virus that leads to severe brain infections in people, with no current vaccines or treatments available.
- Researchers have explored two main vaccine development strategies: modifying the POWV genome to enhance its vulnerability to immune responses and using a live-attenuated yellow fever virus (YFV-17D) to deliver POWV proteins.
- The promising results showed that the chimeric vaccine candidate protected mice significantly, achieving a 70% survival rate after direct exposure and even 100% survival with a two-step vaccination process, indicating potential for a viable POWV vaccine.

Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) is a major human pathogen causing a variety of diseases, characterized by a selective tropism to human progenitor cells in bone marrow. In similar fashion to all Parvoviridae members, the B19V ssDNA genome is replicated within the nucleus of infected cells through a process which involves both cellular and viral proteins. Among the latter, a crucial role is played by non-structural protein (NS)1, a multifunctional protein involved in genome replication and transcription, as well as modulation of host gene expression and function.
