Anaemia is a frequent adverse effect of anticancer treatment caused in part by eryptosis and haemolysis. Thus, it is important to investigate the role of DHA in red blood cell (RBC) death. RBCs were treated with anticancer concentrations (10-100 μM) of DHA under different physiological conditions, and fluorescence-assisted cell sorting was employed to measure eryptotic markers. Cell membrane scrambling was detected by annexin-V-FITC labelling, cytoplasmic Ca2+ by Fluo4/AM, cell size by forward scatter (FSC), and oxidative stress by H2DCFDA. Haemolytic markers were also assayed by photometric methods. DHA caused significant phospholipid scrambling with Ca2+ accumulation, loss of cellular volume, and oxidative stress. These changes were associated with dacrocyte formation, as revealed by electron microscopy. Moreover, DHA exhibited a dual effect on membrane integrity: it was haemolytic under isotonic conditions and anti-haemolytic in hypotonic environments. Importantly, inhibition of Rac1 GTPase activity with NSC23766 significantly reduced DHA-mediated haemolysis, as did co-administration of either sucrose or polyethylene glycol 8,000. Conversely, the presence of 125 mM KCl and urea without extracellular Ca2+ significantly exacerbated DHA toxicity. In conclusion, this is the first report that identifies key biochemical mechanisms underlying the cytotoxic effects of DHA in RBCs, promoting further development and validation of DHA in anticancer therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":12281,"journal":{"name":"Folia Biologica","volume":"70 3","pages":"179-188"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142791469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis by CellChat indicated that CTLA4 or TIGIT might act as important immune checkpoint genes to attenuate the inhibitory effect of aneuploid osteoclasts on NK/T cells, thereby enhancing the activity of NK/T cells.

Axial lengths were measured every two weeks, and the expression of Sp1 and Col-I in the sclera was assessed by immunohistochemistry, Western blot and RT-qPCR. After 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks of light exposure, the L and G groups showed considerably longer axial lengths than the N group, with the L group exhibiting significantly longer axial lengths compared with the E and F groups. The protein and mRNA expression levels of Sp1 and Col-I, ranked from highest to lowest, were as follows: N, E, F, G, and L. The expression of Sp1 and Col-I was positively correlated, but both were negatively correlated with the length of the eye axis. The E group demonstrated higher Sp1 and Col-I expression than the other artificial light groups. Artificial light with a continuous, full spectrum lacking peaks and valleys can inhibit the elongation of the eye axis in juvenile guinea pigs and has a protective effect against myopia.

In this study, we found a decreased total level of 5hmC in OS tissues. The expression of the TET3 protein was also decreased in OS. Importantly, the decreased levels of TET3 were associated with a decreased disease-free survival (DFS) rate in patients. To investigate the role of TET3 and 5hmC in OS, we manipulated the levels of TET3 in MG-63 cells. Silencing TET3 in these cells resulted in a twofold increase in proliferation. Additio-nally, the level of 5hmC decreased in these cells. Con-versely, over-expression of TET3 in MG-63 cells led to the expected inhibition of proliferation and invasion, accompanied by an increase in 5hmC levels. In conclusion, both 5hmC and TET3 protein levels were decreased in OS. Additionally, the over-expression of TET3 inhibited the proliferation of MG-63 cells, while the suppression of TET3 had the opposite effect.

Therefore, the recent success of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in cancer treatment motivated their clinical investigation in TCLs as well. Multiple studies showed promising results; however, cases of TCL hyperprogression following ICI treatment and secondary T-cell-derived malignancies associated with ICI treatment of other cancer types were also reported. In our review, we first briefly summarize classification of T-cell-derived malignancies, general anti-tumor immune response, immune evasion, and immune checkpoint signaling. Next, we provide an overview of immune checkpoint molecule deregulation in TCLs, summarize available studies of ICIs in TCLs, and review the above-mentioned safety concerns associa-ted with ICI treatment and T-cell-derived malignancies. Despite initial promising results, further studies are necessary to define the most suitable clinical applications and ICI therapeutic combinations with other novel treatment approaches within TCL treatment.

Junctional cadherin 5 associated (JCAD) protein is found in the intercellular junctions of endothelial cells and linked to cardiovascular diseases. Nonetheless, the influence of JCAD on cardiomyocyte injury caused by CHD is unclear. A model of H2O2-induced H9c2 cell injury was constructed, and JCAD mRNA and protein levels were assessed by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The impacts of JCAD on the proliferation or apoptosis of H9c2 cells were explored by CCK-8 assay, Western blot and TUNEL staining. The effect of JCAD on the inflammatory response and vascular endothelial function of H9c2 cells was detected using ELISA kits. The levels of Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related proteins were assessed by Western blot. H2O2 treatment led to a rise in the levels of JCAD in H9c2 cells. Over-expression of JCAD promoted H2O2-induced cellular injury, leading to notably elevated contents of inflammatory factors, along with vascular endothelial dysfunction. In contrast to over-expression of JCAD, silencing of JCAD attenuated H2O2-induced cellular injury and inhibited apoptosis, inflammatory response and vascular endothelial dysfunction. Notably, JCAD could regulate the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, while DKK-1, Wnt/β-catenin pathway antagonist, counteracted the enhancing impact of JCAD over-expression on H2O2-induced H9c2 cell injury, further confirming that JCAD acts by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

The first volume was published in Prague in 1954 on behalf of the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (since 1990 the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic) under the subtitle \"International edition of the journal Czechoslovakian Biology\". Born in the dark days of the Cold War, Folia Biologica provided a thin but important link between the politically controlled science behind the Iron Curtain in the former Czechoslovakia and that of the free Western world. Initially, the journal focused on research papers in the fields of experimental medicine, immunology, virology, and experimental zoology. Since 1961 (Volume 7), Folia Biologica has been indexed in the Web of Science database. The first issue of Volume 7 was introduced by a review article by Peter Brian Medawar (1915-1987), winner of the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine \"for the discovery of acquired immunological tolerance\", which is reprinted in this anniversary issue [1].In the late 1960s, during the political relaxation that culminated in the Prague Spring, cooperation with free Western science intensified and enabled a lively scientific dialogue between Czechoslovak and foreign biological scientists, namely immunologists, molecular biologists, and virologists, as illustrated by a series of original research articles from Folia Biologica by Georg Davis Snell (1903-1996) and Jean Dausset (1916-2009), who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1980 \"for their discoveries concerning genetically determined structures on the cell surface that regulate immunological reactions\", which led to the discovery of the major histocompatibility system (MHC) [2-7]. Another powerful example is an article in Folia Biologica by François Jacob (1920-2013), who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1965 for discoveries that helped elucidate the transcriptional control of enzyme levels [8].Despite the years of political repression during the \"normalization\" period following the invasion of the Warsaw Pact troops into Czechoslovakia in 1968, the scientists and editors of Folia Biologica from the Academy of Sciences were able to maintain vibrant contacts with the world's leading scientists. In 1981, the journal changed its subtitle to \"Journal of Cellular and Molecular Biology\". In 1983, Folia Biologica published the article by Renato Dulbecco (1914-2012), who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1975 for \"discoveries concerning the interaction between tumor viruses and the genetic material of the cell\"[9].With further orientation towards human molecular medicine, the journal entered the era after the Velvet Revolution in 1989, which represented the desired end of political control over national science.
