For evaluating the effects of USP7 inhibition, the cells were treated with GNE-6776; after 24 hours and 4 days, the cells were collected and again expression of interest genes was evaluated.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong><i>MDM2</i> (P=0.028), <i>MDM4</i> (P=0.028), <i>USP7</i> (P=0.028), and <i>HDAC1</i> (P=0.015) all showed significantly higher expression in <i>EBNA1</i>-harboring cells compared to control plasmid transfected cells, while <i>p53</i> mRNA expression was only marginally downregulated in <i>EBNA1</i> harboring cells (P=0.685). Four-day after treatment, none of the studied genes was significantly changed. Also, in the first 24-hour after treatment, mRNA expression of p53 was downregulated (P=0.685), but after 4 days it was upregulated (P=0.7) insignificantly.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>It seems that EBNA1 could strongly upregulate p53-inhibiting genes including <i>HDAC1, MDM2, MDM4</i>, and <i>USP7</i>. Moreover, it appears that the effects of USP7 suppression on p53 at protein/mRNA level depend on the cell nature; however, further research is needed.</p>","PeriodicalId":45319,"journal":{"name":"Reports of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology","volume":"11 4","pages":"672-683"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10149133/pdf/rbmb-11-672.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9429540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the importance of prudent sun exposure tends to be overlooked, which is responsible for this pandemic.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We investigated the vitamin D status in 326 adults, 165 females and 161 males: 99 Osteoporosis patients, 53 Type 1 Diabetes patients, 51 Type 2 Diabetes patients, and 123 Athletic Healthy individuals, from Northern Greece, through the measurement of total calcidiol in winter and summer by immunoenzymatic assay.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In the Whole Sample 23.31% had severe deficiency, 13.50% mild deficiency, 17.48% insufficiency, and 45.71% adequacy at the end of winter. Mean concentrations differed significantly (p <0.001) between males and females. The prevalence of deficiency in the young was significantly lower than in the middle-aged (p = 0.004) and in the elderly (p <0.001), while it was significantly lower (p = 0.014) in the middle-aged than in the elderly. The best vitamin D status was found in the Athletic Healthy individuals, followed by the Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetic patients, while Osteoporotic patients had the poorest status. The difference in mean concentrations between winter and summer was significant (p <0.001).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Vitamin D status deteriorated with increasing age and it was better in males than in females. Our findings suggest that outdoor physical activity in a Mediterranean country can cover the vitamin D needs of the young and the middle-aged, but not of the elderly, without the need for dietary supplements.</p>","PeriodicalId":45319,"journal":{"name":"Reports of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology","volume":"11 4","pages":"565-576"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10149132/pdf/rbmb-11-565.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9429542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
