However, the role of the comorbidity of PE and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in placental neutrophil r-TM and serum NETs remains unknown. Human placental tissue (n = 160) and serum (n = 80) samples were obtained post-ethical approval and divided by pregnancy type and HIV status and across the study population. Immunohistochemistry and morphometry were performed to localize and quantify junctional adhesion molecule-C (JAM-C) expression as an inverse marker of neutrophil r-TM within placental villi. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to quantify the concentration of citrullinated histone H3 (cit-H3) as a marker of NETs. GraphPad Prism (version 8.0.2) was used to compare the results, and a p value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The localization of JAM-C was observed on the syncytiotrophoblasts (STBs) and endothelial cells of placental villi. The immunoexpression of JAM-C was elevated in PE vs. normotensive (N) placentae. In the exchange villi, JAM-C immunoexpression was higher in the N+ve vs. N-ve group. However, in PE comorbid HIV infection, JAM-C expression was lower in the PE+ve vs. PE-ve group. Citrullinated histone-H3 concentration was lower in the N+ve vs. N-ve group but elevated in early-onset PE (EOPE)+ve vs. late-onset PE (LOPE)+ve group. These results indicate that PE and HIV-infected placentae individually express elevated JAM-C, manifesting in less neutrophil r-TM. However, in exchange villi of PE comorbid with HIV infection reduced JAM-C enhances neutrophil r-TM, thus supporting the synergistic effect of PE comorbid with HIV.","PeriodicalId":13107,"journal":{"name":"Histochemistry and Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":"273-286"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11364576/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141442554","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}

Currently, this is performed in animal models or in in vitro cell-based models such as cell culture scratch assays that more closely resemble acute wounds. Here, we describe for the first time a delayed scratch closure model that mimics some features of a chronic wound in vitro. Chronic wounds such as those suffered by later stage diabetic patients are characterised by degrees of slowness to heal caused by a combination of continued localised physical trauma and pro-inflammatory signalling at the wound. To recreate this in a cell-based assay, a defined physical scratch was created and stimulated by combinations of pro-inflammatory factors, namely interferon, the phorbol ester PMA, and lipopolysaccharide, to delay scratch closure. The concentrations of these factors were characterised for commonly used human keratinocyte (HaCaT) and dermal fibroblast (HDF) cell lines. These models were then tested for scratch closure responsiveness to a proprietary healing secretome derived from human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) previously validated and shown to be highly effective on closure of acute wound models both in vitro and in vivo. The chronically open scratches from HaCaT cells showed closure after exposure to the MSC secretome product. We propose this delayed scratch closure model for academic and industrial researchers studying chronic wounds looking for responsiveness to drugs or biological treatments prior to testing on explanted patient material or in vivo.","PeriodicalId":13107,"journal":{"name":"Histochemistry and Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":"245-255"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11322216/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140848096","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}

Proliferation of cells is one of the main developmental processes during the early embryogenesis. This study was focused on testing the effect of elevated temperature and HC addition on proliferation of cells in in vitro cultures. The V79-4 cell line was treated with HC and cultured in vitro at 37 °C or 39 °C, respectively. To reveal the effect of both factors, the proliferation of cells cultured under different conditions was evaluated using various approaches (colony formation assay, generation of growth curves, computation of doubling times, and mitotic index estimation). Our results indicate that a short-term exposure to elevated temperature slightly stimulates and a long-term exposure suppresses cell proliferation. However, HC (0.1 mg/ml) acts as a stimulator of cell proliferation. Interestingly, the interaction of HC and long-term elevated temperature (39 °C) exposure results in at least partial compensation of the negative impact of elevated temperature by HC addition and in higher proliferation if compared with cells cultured at 39 °C without addition of HC.","PeriodicalId":13107,"journal":{"name":"Histochemistry and Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":"231-244"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11322275/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141154498","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}

Recently, TGFβ has been identified as an important driver of intestinal fibrosis. We studied the localization of TGFβ isoforms in ileal strictures of patients with Crohn's disease using in situ hybridization to understand TGFβ's role in stricture formation. The mucosa of strictures was characterized by higher TGFβ1 while the stricture submucosa showed higher TGFβ3 compared to normal ileum from patients without Crohn's disease (p = 0.02 and p = 0.044, respectively). We correlated these findings with single-cell transcriptomics which demonstrated that TGFβ3 transcripts overall are very rare, which may partially explain why its role in intestinal fibrosis has remained unclear to date. There were no significant differences in fibroblast or B cell TGFβ1 and/or TGFβ3 expression in inflamed vs. noninflamed ileum.

Spread over large DNA segments, they tend to be found next to oncogenes. The super-enhancer c-MYC locus forms long-range chromatin looping with nearby genes, which brings the enhancer and the genes into proximity, to promote gene activation. The colon cancer-associated transcript 1 (CCAT1) gene, which is part of the MYC locus, transcribes a lncRNA that is overexpressed in colon cancer cells through activation by MYC. Comparing different types of cancer cell lines using RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (RNA FISH), we detected very prominent CCAT1 expression in HeLa cells, observed as several large CCAT1 nuclear foci. We found that dozens of CCAT1 transcripts accumulate on the gene locus, in addition to active transcription occurring from the gene. The accumulating transcripts are released from the chromatin during cell division. Examination of CCAT1 lncRNA expression patterns on the single-RNA level showed that unspliced CCAT1 transcripts are released from the gene into the nucleoplasm. Most of these unspliced transcripts were observed in proximity to the active gene but were not associated with nuclear speckles in which unspliced RNAs usually accumulate. At larger distances from the gene, the CCAT1 transcripts appeared spliced, implying that most CCAT1 transcripts undergo post-transcriptional splicing in the zone of the active gene. Finally, we show that unspliced CCAT1 transcripts can be detected in the cytoplasm during splicing inhibition, which suggests that there are several CCAT1 variants, spliced and unspliced, that the cell can recognize as suitable for export.","PeriodicalId":13107,"journal":{"name":"Histochemistry and Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":"91-107"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11227459/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141064993","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}

However, recent studies demonstrated that cancer can also be driven purely by epigenetic alterations, without driver mutations. Specifically, a 24-h transient downregulation of polyhomeotic (ph-KD), a core component of the Polycomb complex PRC1, is sufficient to induce epigenetically initiated cancers (EICs) in Drosophila, which are proficient in DNA repair and characterized by a stable genome. Whether genomic instability eventually occurs when PRC1 downregulation is performed for extended periods of time remains unclear. Here, we show that prolonged depletion of PH, which mimics cancer initiating events, results in broad dysregulation of DNA replication and repair genes, along with the accumulation of DNA breaks, defective repair, and widespread genomic instability in the cancer tissue. A broad misregulation of H2AK118 ubiquitylation and to a lesser extent of H3K27 trimethylation also occurs and might contribute to these phenotypes. Together, this study supports a model where DNA repair and replication defects accumulate during the tumorigenic transformation epigenetically induced by PRC1 loss, resulting in genomic instability and cancer progression.","PeriodicalId":13107,"journal":{"name":"Histochemistry and Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":"133-147"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11227471/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141418698","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}

To track the dynamic changes of H4K20me1 in living cells, we have developed a genetically encoded modification-specific intracellular antibody (mintbody) probe that specifically binds to the modification. Here, we report the generation of knock-in mice in which the coding sequence of the mCherry-tagged version of the H4K20me1-mintbody is inserted into the Rosa26 locus. The knock-in mice, which ubiquitously expressed the H4K20me1-mintbody, developed normally and were fertile, indicating that the expression of the probe does not disturb the cell growth, development, or differentiation. Various tissues isolated from the knock-in mice exhibited nuclear fluorescence without the need for fixation. The H4K20me1-mintbody was enriched in inactive X chromosomes in developing embryos and in XY bodies during spermatogenesis.
