Forensic efficiency and population genetic construction of Guizhou Gelao minority from Southwest China revealed by a panel of 23 autosomal STR loci
Forensic Sci Res. 2024 Jan 5;9(2):owad058. doi: 10.1093/fsr/owad058. eCollection 2024 Jun.ABSTRACTShort tandem repeats (STRs) are the most common genetic markers in forensic and human population genetics due to their high polymorphism, rapid detection, and reliable genotyping. To adapt the rapid growth of forensic DNA database and solve problems in disputed cases, a panel of 23 autosomal STR loci with high discriminating ability was constructed recently. The Tai-Kadai-speaking Gelao is the most ancient indigenous minority in Guizhou province, however, the forensic efficiency and population genetic structure remain poorly e...

Increased glutamatergic neurotransmission between the retinohypothalamic tract and the suprachiasmatic nucleus of old mice
J Neurosci Res. 2024 Apr;102(4):e25331. doi: 10.1002/jnr.25331.ABSTRACTCircadian rhythms synchronize to light through the retinohypothalamic tract (RHT), which is a bundle of axons coming from melanopsin retinal ganglion cells, whose synaptic terminals release glutamate to the ventral suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Activation of AMPA-kainate and NMDA postsynaptic receptors elicits the increase in intracellular calcium required for triggering the signaling cascade that ends in phase shifts. During aging, there is a decline in the synchronization of circadian rhythms to light. With electrophysiological (whole-cell patch-clam...

CD59 Protects Primary Human Cerebrovascular Smooth Muscle Cells from Cytolytic Membrane Attack Complex
Res Sq [Preprint]. 2024 Apr 1:rs.3.rs-4165045. doi: 10.21203/rs.3.rs-4165045/v1.ABSTRACTCerebral amyloid angiopathy is characterized by a weakening of the small and medium sized cerebral arteries, as their smooth muscle cells are progressively replaced with acellular amyloid β, increasing vessel fragility and vulnerability to microhemorrhage. In this context, an aberrant overactivation of the complement system would further aggravate this process. The surface protein CD59 protects most cells from complement-induced cytotoxicity, but expression levels can fluctuate due to disease and vary between cell types. The degree to ...

Expression of c-erb-B2 oncoprotein as a neoantigen strategy to repurpose anti-neu antibody therapy in a model of melanoma
In this study, we tested a novel approach of "repurposing" a biomarker typically associated with breast cancer for use in melanoma. HER2/neu is a well characterized biomarker in breast cancer for which effective anti-HER2/neu therapies are readily available. We constructed a lentivirus encoding c-erb-B2 (the animal homolog to HER2/neu). This was used to transfect B16 melanoma in vitro for use in an orthotopic preclinical mouse model, which resulted in expression of c-erb-B2 as a neoantigen target for anti-c-erb-B2 monoclonal antibody (7.16.4). The c-erb-B2-expressing melanoma was designated B16/neu. 7.16.4 produced statist...

Hyperosmotic Sisomicin Infusion: A Mouse Model for Hearing Loss
Res Sq [Preprint]. 2024 Apr 1:rs.3.rs-4096027. doi: 10.21203/rs.3.rs-4096027/v1.ABSTRACTHearing impairment arises from the loss of either type of cochlear sensory hair cells. Inner hair cells act as primary sound transducers, while outer hair cells enhance sound-induced vibrations within the organ of Corti. Established models, such as systemic administration of ototoxic aminoglycosides, yield inconsistent and variable hair cell death in mice. Overcoming this limitation, we developed a method involving surgical delivery of a hyperosmotic sisomicin solution into the posterior semicircular canal of adult mice. This procedure ...

Basement Membrane Mimetic Hydrogel Cooperates with Rho-Associated Protein Kinase Inhibitor to Promote the Development of Acini-Like Salivary Gland Spheroids
Adv Nanobiomed Res. 2023 Nov;3(11):2300088. doi: 10.1002/anbr.202300088. Epub 2023 Oct 8.ABSTRACTSuccessful engineering of functional salivary glands necessitates the creation of cell-instructive environments for ex vivo expansion and lineage specification of primary human salivary gland stem cells (hS/PCs). Herein, basement membrane mimetic hydrogels were prepared using hyaluronic acid, cell adhesive peptides, and hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG), with or without sulfate groups, to produce "hyperGel+" or "hyperGel", respectively. Differential scanning fluorescence experiments confirmed the ability of the sulphated HPG pre...

Trem2 promotes foamy macrophage lipid uptake and survival in atherosclerosis
Nat Cardiovasc Res. 2023 Nov;2(11):1015-1031. doi: 10.1038/s44161-023-00354-3. Epub 2023 Oct 30.ABSTRACTAtherosclerosis is driven by the expansion of cholesterol-loaded 'foamy' macrophages in the arterial intima. Factors regulating foamy macrophage differentiation and survival in plaque remain poorly understood. Here we show, using trajectory analysis of integrated single-cell RNA sequencing data and a genome-wide CRISPR screen, that triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (Trem2) is associated with foamy macrophage specification. Loss of Trem2 led to a reduced ability of foamy macrophages to take up oxidized low-...

Inhibition of CDK7 mitigates doxorubicin cardiotoxicity and enhances anticancer efficacy
CONCLUSIONS: Activation of CDK7 is necessary for DOX-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and cardiomyopathy. Our findings uncover a novel proapoptotic role for CDK7 in cardiomyocytes. Moreover, this study suggests that inhibition of CDK7 attenuates DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, but augments the anticancer efficacy of DOX. Therefore, combined administration of CDK7 inhibitor and DOX may exhibit diminished cardiotoxicity but superior anticancer activity.PMID:38646672 | DOI:10.1093/cvr/cvae084 (Source: Cell Research)
