Abstract

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) and interferon-gamma (IFN gamma) have potent effects on bone resorption and collagen synthesis in cultured rat long bones. Since the effects of TNF alpha and IFN gamma may result from interaction with multiple cell types, we studied the effects of these cytokines on the synthesis of DNA and collagen in one cell type with osteoblast phenotype, cloned rat osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8). Recombinant human TNF alpha did not affect DNA synthesis after 48 h with concentrations of 10(-11)-10(-8) M and inhibited DNA synthesis slightly at 10(-6) M. Recombinant rat IFN gamma (5-500 U/ml) caused a dose-dependent inhibition of DNA synthesis. Coincubation with TNF alpha and IFN gamma inhibited DNA synthesis more than maximal doses of either cytokine alone. This enhanced inhibitory effect was due to the induction of a response to TNF alpha by IFN gamma, since preexposure of cells to IFN gamma for 24 h, followed by incubation with TNF alpha alone for an additional 48 h, also resulted in increased inhibition of DNA synthesis. Preexposure to TNF alpha for 24 h, followed by IFN gamma alone, did not increase the inhibition of DNA synthesis. Incubation with either IFN gamma (5-500 U/ml) or TNF alpha (10(-10...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
