Cells and viruses hACE2 expressing BHK-21 (BHK-21-hACE2) and Vero-E6 cells were provided by State Key Laboratory of Virology, Wuhan University. Vero-E6 cells were cultured in DMEM (Gibco, Cat.11995–040) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Cat.10091–148) and 1% penicillin and streptomycin solution (BasalMedia, Cat.S110JV) at 37°C with 5% CO2. BHK-21-hACE2…

Animals and immunizations The study protocol and all veterinarian procedures were approved by the Bioqual IACUC per a memorandum of understanding with the Duke IACUC, and were performed based on standard operating procedures. Macaques studied were housed and maintained in an Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care-accredited…

Introduction Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal cancers (1). Previous studies have shown that aging, environmental and behavioral changes are more closely related to the dramatic increase in the incidence of PC worldwide than genetic factors (2–5). A position paper published by the European Federation…

Ethics statement and patient samples 40 pairs of OC tissues and adjacent tissue samples were collected from patients who were diagnosed with OC and received surgical resection in the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University. None of the patients received any anti-cancer treatment before surgery, and all samples were immediately…

This article was originally published here NPJ Vaccines. 2022 Apr 26;7(1):49. doi: 10.1038/s41541-022-00461-5. ABSTRACT The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is an ongoing threat to global health, and wide-scale vaccination is an efficient method to reduce morbidity and mortality. We designed and evaluated two DNA plasmid vaccines, based on the pIDV-II system, expressing…

Bioinformatics analyses revealed the involvement of m6A modification in cervical cancer progression To better understand whether and how m6A regulators contribute to cervical cancer progression, we first identified 9 m6A writers (WTAP, ZC3H13, METTL3, METTL14, METTL16, VIRMA, RBM15B, RBM15, and CBLL1), 15 m6A readers (FMR1, hnRNPA2B1, hnRNPC, YTHDF1/2/3, YTHDC1/2, LRPPRC,…

doi.org/10.1016/j.jddst.2022.103180Get rights and content Highlights • SN38 was encapsulated in PEI-conjugated SWCNT based on π-π stacking interaction. • Survivin shRNA was further condensed in the prepared carrier. • Codelivery of SN38 and shRNA increased therapeutic efficacy and synergistic effect. • Tagging of the codelivery system with PNC27 significantly enhanced therapeutic…

Introduction Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 2–3% of all malignant tumors, and its prevalence is rising. Metastatic RCC accounts for 25–30% of all RCC cases, and has an exceedingly poor prognosis.1 In 2020, among approximately 430,000 newly discovered cases of RCC, 179,000 died.2 Clear cell renal cell carcinoma…

Organoid culture of small intestinal cells and lentiviral transduction C57BL/6J mice and BALB/cAnu/nu immune-deficient nude mice were purchased from CLEA Japan (Tokyo, Japan). The small intestine was harvested from wild-type male C57BL/6J mice at 3–5 weeks of age (Additional file 1: Figure S9A). Crypts were purified and dissociated into single cells,…

Introduction Today, malignant tumors (cancer) still severely imperil human health and cause millions of global mortality rates.1,2 Deep-seated solid tumors are challenging to cure by most therapeutic tools, mainly blamed on the complex tumor microenvironment (TME).3,4 Adoptive cell therapy (ACT), as one of the effective immunotherapeutic means for cancer treatment,…

Abstract The metabolic mechanisms involved in the survival of tumor cells within the hypoxic niche remain unclear. We carried out a synthetic lethal CRISPR screen to identify survival mechanisms governed by the tumor hypoxia–induced pH regulator carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX). We identified a redox homeostasis network containing the iron-sulfur cluster…

Significance During the aging process, senescent cells secrete inflammatory factors, causing various age-related pathologies. Thus, controlling the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) can tremendously benefit human health. Although SASP seems to be induced by the alteration of chromosomal organization, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, it has been revealed that noncoding…

Mice are commonly used as models of human disease, helping scientists to understand the workings of complex pathologies and develop safe and efficacious drugs. It is now possible to create a range of genetically engineered mouse models, including humanized, knock-in and knock-out models, that can be used to further advance…
