In this paper, we describe the establishment and characterization of a homogenous Atlantic salmon skin fibroblast (ASSF) cell line. This immortalized cell line grows well in standard media formulations and is capable of migration. It is transcriptionally stable over dozens of passages, and its transcriptome is distinct from other publicly available Atlantic salmon cell lines (SHK1 and ASK). Even though ASSF cells show limited cytopathic effects when challenged with Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) molecular evidence reveals that they are infected and support IPNV production, especially compared to other cell lines like ASK or SHK1. The potential of the ASSF cell line as a tool for Atlantic salmon research is highlighted by its permissibility to genetic manipulation with various methods including CRISPR/cas9, transfection and transduction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12227,"journal":{"name":"Experimental cell research","volume":"443 1","pages":"Article 114295"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142497747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the potential mechanism controlling ALB's mRNA level expression in aged individuals is yet to be explored. We noted decreased serum ALB concentrations in aged individuals participating in our study, as compared to the young ones. We found that IL-10, a paradoxical inflammaging marker, reduced ALB concentration in HepG2 cells.

We showed that CEBP-β binds to the albumin promoter in an IL-10-dependent manner. Further, IL-10 increased the expressions of all CEBP-β isoforms, including the inhibitory isoform (LIP). The CEBP-β inhibition either by a functional inhibitor (i.e., quercetin) or shRNA silencing increased albumin mRNA in HepG2 cells.

Mono-ADP-ribosylation (MARylation) is a type of epigenetics and recognized as one of the causes of CRC development and progression. Although the modification level and target proteins in CRC remain unclear, it has been found that MARylation of arginine-117 of histone 3 (H3R117) promotes the proliferation, upregulates methylation of tumor suppressor gene, and is tightly associated with the metabolic processes in LoVo cells. Lipid metabolism disorder is involved in the development of CRC at the early stage. Our study revealed that MARylation of H3R117 of the LoVo cells modulated lipid metabolism, increased cholesterol synthesis, promoted lipid raft (LR) protein IGF-1R distribution, and inhibited cell apoptosis through IGFBP1. In addition, bioinformatics analyses revealed that IGFBP1 promoter was hypermethylated in CRC when compared to that in normal tissues. Moreover, H3R117 MARylation upregulated the methylation of IGFBP1 promoter through histone H3 citrullination (H3cit) by increasing the H3K9me2, heterochromatin protein1 (HP1), and DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) enrichment of IGFBP1 promoter. Accordingly, IGFBP1 may function as a tumor suppressor gene, while H3R117 MARylation may promote CRC development. Our study findings enrich the available data on epigenetics of CRC and provide a new idea and experimental basis for H3R117 MARylation as a target in CRC treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12227,"journal":{"name":"Experimental cell research","volume":"443 1","pages":"Article 114308"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142555047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our study, we sought to investigate the potential role of PHLDA1 in preserving intestinal barrier function as a promising strategy for treating IBD. We observed a significant decrease in PHLDA1 expression in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) of both IBD patients and mice with chemically induced colitis. This deficiency of PHLDA1 led to increased apoptosis of IECs, resulting in a compromised epithelial barrier and the invasion of commensal bacteria into the mucosa. Consequently, this microbial invasion substantially exacerbated colonic inflammation in mice with the specific knockout of PHLDA1 in IECs (Phlda1^IEC−KO) compared to their control littermates. Mechanistically, we found evidence of PHLDA1 interacting with MCL1 to protect against K48-linked polyubiquitylation at the K40 lysine residue, thus preventing ubiquitin-proteasome degradation through the MCL1 ubiquitin ligase E3 (Mule). We further confirmed that the PHLDA1-MCL1-Mule signaling pathway plays a critical role in the development of IBD. Notably, our study demonstrated that enhancing MCL1 levels or reducing Mule expression using adeno-associated virus (AAV) attenuated experimental colitis in Phlda1^IEC−KO mice.

We analyzed two GEO datasets (GSE112214 and GSE158695) using R software to identify differentially expressed circRNAs. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) assessed the expression of hsa_circ_0002360 in NSCLC tissues and cell lines compared to controls. We used siRNA and overexpression vectors to modulate hsa_circ_0002360 levels in A549 cells, followed by assays to assess proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Interactions with RNA-binding proteins, specifically HNRNPA1, were investigated using RNA-pull down and RIP assays. In GEO datasets GSE112214 and GSE158695, hsa_circ_0002360 was identified as significantly overexpressed in NSCLC, a finding supported by qRT-PCR analyses showing higher levels in NSCLC tissues and cell lines compared to controls.
