However, the senolytic efficiency in various organs and cells from these models represents unexpected variation and diversity in some cases. We have generated a novel knock‐in model, p16tdT‐hDTR mice, which possess tdTomato and human diphtheria toxin receptor (hDTR) downstream of Cdkn2a, an endogenous p16Ink4a gene. We successfully demonstrated that p16‐derived tdTomato and hDTR expressions are observed in these mouse embryo fibroblasts and following treatment with diphtheria toxin (DT) eliminates those cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated the efficacy of eliminating p16‐positive cells in vivo, and also observed a tendency to decrease their cutaneous SA‐β‐gal activity after subcutaneous DT injection into p16tdT‐hDTR mice. In particular, comprehensive gene expression analysis in skin revealed that upregulated genes related to lipid metabolisms with aging exhibited remarkable expressions under the senolysis.

Here, a genome‐wide CRISPR‐Cas9 library screen in Caco2 cells revealed that the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) can function as a receptor for classical HAstV (Mamastrovirus genotype 1). Deletion of FCGRT or B2M, which encode subunits of FcRn, rendered Caco2 cells and intestinal organoid cells resistant to HAstV infection. We also showed that human FcRn expression renders non‐susceptible cells permissive to viral infection and that FcRn binds directly to the HAstV spike protein. Therefore, our findings provide insight into the entry mechanism of HAstV into susceptible cells. We anticipate that this information can be used to develop new therapies targeting human astroviruses, providing new strategies to treat this global health issue.","PeriodicalId":12742,"journal":{"name":"Genes to Cells","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142253935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted a comparative analysis between young and aged mice, with or without capsaicin supplementation, for 3 months. The effect of capsaicin was also studied in vitro in senescence‐induced human oral keratinocytes. We found that aging did not reduce defensin levels uniformly but did so in some instances. Capsaicin treatment increased defensin levels in these cases, potentially through transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1)‐mediated pathways in the oral cavity.

In this study, we developed luminescent probes with a light intensity that changes depending on its phosphorylation state. We modified the Nano‐lantern probe (Renilla luciferase‐based Ca2+ probe) by introducing a CDK‐substrate peptide and a phosphopeptide‐binding domain into the luciferase. Our initial trial resulted in new probes that could report the CDK/PP2A balance in a purified system. Further modifications of these probes (replacing the phospho‐Ser with phospho‐Thr and randomly replacing its surrounding amino acids) improved the dynamic range by up to four‐fold, making them practical for use in the Xenopus egg extracts system, where many physiological events can be reproduced. Taken together, our new probes enabled the monitoring of the CDK/PP2A balance in real time, and are applicable to high‐throughput systems; the new probes thus appear promising for use in substrate and drug screening.","PeriodicalId":12742,"journal":{"name":"Genes to Cells","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we have employed catalytically inactive human RNase H1 mutant (D145N) to visualize RNA–DNA hybrids and map their genomic locations in fission yeast cells. The RNA–DNA hybrids appear as multiple nuclear foci in rnh1∆rnh201∆ cells lacking cellular RNase H activity, but not in the wild‐type. The majority of RNA–DNA hybrid loci are detected at the protein coding regions and tRNA. In rnh1∆rnh201∆ cells, cells with multiple Rad52 foci increase during S‐phase and about 20% of the RNA–DNA hybrids overlap with Rad52 loci. During S‐phase, more robust association of Rad52 with RNA–DNA hybrids was observed in the protein coding region than in M‐phase. These results suggest that persistent RNA–DNA hybrids in the protein coding region in rnh1∆rnh201∆ cells generate DNA damages during S‐phase, potentially through collision with DNA replication forks.","PeriodicalId":12742,"journal":{"name":"Genes to Cells","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diabetic cataracts occur at young age and progress relatively quickly, so the development of effective treatment has been awaited. Several studies have shown that pyruvate inhibits oxidative stress and glycation of lens proteins, which contribute to onset of diabetic cataracts. However, detailed molecular mechanisms have not been revealed. In this study, we attempted to reduce galactose-induced opacity by pyruvate with rat ex vivo model. Rat lenses were extracted and cultured in galactose-containing medium to induce lens opacity. After opacity had developed, continued culturing with pyruvate in the medium resulted in a reduction of lens opacity. Subsequently, we conducted microarray analysis to investigate the genes that contribute to the therapeutic effect. We performed quantitative expression measurements using RT-qPCR for extracted genes that were upregulated in cataract-induced lenses and downregulated in pyruvate-treated lenses, resulting in the identification of 34 candidate genes. Functional analysis using the STRING database suggests that metallothionein-related factors (Mt1a, Mt1m, and Mt2A) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related factors (Acta2, Anxa1, Cd81, Mki67, Timp1, and Tyms) contribute to the therapeutic effect of cataracts.","PeriodicalId":12742,"journal":{"name":"Genes to Cells","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gtc.13150","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142106698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, using a reconstitution approach with purified DNA, we aimed to determine factors, such as the amount and timing of DNA introduction, required for the formation of nuclei with nuclear transport activity in mouse oocytes. T4 phage DNA (~166 kbp) was microinjected into strontium-activated oocytes to evaluate the conditions appropriate for nuclear formation. Microinjection of 100–500 ng/μL of T4 DNA, but not 20 ng/μL, was sufficient for the formation of nucleus-like structures. Furthermore, microinjection of DNA during metaphase II to telophase II, but not during interphase, was sufficient. Electron and fluorescence microscopy showed that T4 DNA-induced nucleus-like structures had nuclear lamina and nuclear pore complex structures similar to those of natural nuclei, as well as nuclear import activity.
