Recently, it has been reported that higher MPC1 expression correlates with an increased number of immune cells in human cervical and lung cancers, indicating an enhanced antitumor immune response. Reduced MPC1 levels in gastric tumors are associated with a more severe disease course. Correlational analysis of the MPC1 gene in human lung, hippocampus and frontal cortex tissue samples based on data from the GTEx database revealed associations of this gene with schizophrenia, non-small cell lung cancer, and immune diseases. Our experiments showed that the mRNA level of the MPC1 gene in the non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549 increases 5-fold under the influence of the schizophrenia neuroleptic thioridazine. The observed elevation of MPC1 level may cause tumor infiltration by immune cells, complementing the previously reported data indicating the ability of thioridazine to slow cell growth, induce apoptosis and reduce the ability of cells to migrate.</p>","PeriodicalId":11351,"journal":{"name":"Doklady Biological Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143370728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Houbraken & Samson were the most common. The S. resinae occurrence was 75.9 ± 7.9%. The fungus developed in the surface layers of dried resin, but was not detected in the absence of resin production. The fungus S. resinae was therefore assumed to be a nearly ubiquitous component of the mycobiota of resinous cankers on spruce trunks in Leningrad Oblast. The fungus P. glaucoalbidum has only been observed as a saprotroph in Russia earlier. Weak pathogenic properties were detected in the species in experiments; i.e., P. glaucoalbidum grew on live bark tissues in a humid chamber. Based on its high occurrence (41.4 ± 9.1%), P. glaucoalbidum was identified as a regular component of the microbiota in spruce necrotic canker. Pure cultures of P. glaucoalbidum and Oidiodendron sp. were obtained. To test the respective species as possible causative agents of trunk canker, trunks of 20 spruce trees were inoculated with the fungal cultures in a forest stand. The cultures stimulated resin secretion without causing necrosis to spread beyond the inflicted wound.

Due to the similarity of these structures to the fruiting bodies of some representatives of Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, myxomycetes have been classified as fungi since the first known scientific description in 1654. Only in the 19th century, when their life cycle was studied, did the difference of this group from fungi become clear. During the same period, microscopic structures of fruiting bodies, as well as ornamentation of the spore surface, began to be considered as diagnostic features. Due to this, in the period from the end of the 19th to the middle of the 20th century, a rather stable system was formed. However, as further studies have shown, both macro- and micromorphological characters are often quite variable, depend on environmental conditions, and often result from convergent evolution, which causes difficulties in defining species and taxonomic units of higher ranks. Since the first decade of the 21st century, due to the development of molecular genetic methods and the accumulation of data on nucleotide sequences of marker genes together with the improvement of microscopic studies, it has been possible to obtain data on the evolutionary relationships of different groups of myxomycetes. A milestone in this process was the publication of the first phylogenetic system of myxomycetes in 2019. This work was the starting point for a number of studies on the relationships between different groups of myxomycetes at a lower taxonomic level.
