Abstract

To explore the inhibitory effects of IP10 on the experimental tumor metastases of a mammary carcinoma cell line 4T1 in vivo. 4T1 cells were transfected with pcDNA3-IP10 plasmid and the positive clones (IP10-4T1) were screened in the presence of G418. The parental 4T1 cells and 4T1 cells transfected with pcDNA3 (pcDNA3-4T1) were used as controls. The expression of IP10 mRNA was examined with RT-PCR. The chemotactic activity of the cell-cultured supernatant for the activated lymphocytes was assessed with chemotaxis assay. All BALB/c mice were divided into 3 equal groups: IP10-4T1, parental 4T1 and pcDNA3-4T1 (6 mice in each group). Seven days after mice were inoculated with 2 x 10(6) 4T1, pcDNA3-4T1 or IP10-4T1 cells, 1 x 10(5) 4T1 cells were injected into mice in tail vein. On day 14 tumors were sectioned. On day 28 mice were sacrificed and the lung weight, metastatic forci on the lung surface, disseminated metastases in the lungs and the number of clonogenic metastases of 4T1 cells were observed. The splenocytes were isolated from tumor-bearing mice, and the cytotoxicity of the splenocytes was evaluated by CFSE/7-AAD method. The transcription of IP10 mRNA increased in IP10-4T1 cells compared to parental 4T1 and pcDNA3-4T1 cells...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.
