The current experiments investigate how testing expectations impact the study of and memory for valuable information. Participants studied lists of words ranging in value from 1 to 10 points with the goal being to maximize their score on a later memory test. Half of the participants were told to expect a recognition test after each list, whereas the other half were told to expect a recall test. After several lists of receiving tests congruent with expectations, participants studying for a recognition test instead received an unexpected recall test. In Experiment 1, participants who had studied for a recognition test recalled less of the valuable information than participants anticipating the recall format. These participants continued to attend less to item value on future (expected) recall tests than participants who had only ever experienced recall testing. When the recognition tests were made more demanding in Experiment 2, value-based recall improved relative to Experiment 1: though memory for the valuable information remained superior when participants studied with the expectation of having to recall the information, there were no longer significant differences after accounting for recall testing experience. Thus, recall-based testing encouraged strategic, value-based encoding and enhanced retrieval of important information, whereas recognition testing in some cases limited value-based study and memory. These results extend prior work concerning the impact of testing expectations on memory, offering further insight into how people study important information.

Although oxidative stress induces osteoporosis partly through inhibition of hedgehog signalling, the details of the signal interaction remain unclear. To elucidate this mechanism, we investigated osteoblast differentiation in C3H10T1/2 cells, murine embryonic mesenchymal cells, with recombinant sonic hedgehog (shh) in the presence or absence of hydrogen peroxide, and examined <i>Gli</i> transcriptional activity, with a focus on the interaction with mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) as possible mediators. The transcription of <i>Gli1</i>, <i>Ptch1b</i>, <i>Alp</i> and <i>Bsp</i> was facilitated by shh and strongly inhibited by oxidative stress with the hydrogen peroxide treatment; however, the other <i>Gli</i> isoforms, <i>Bmp2</i>, <i>Runx2</i> and <i>Osx</i>, were unaffected. Oxidative stress also facilitated the phosphorylation of JNK1 and p38. Anisomycin treatment as a JNK activator or transient overexpression of the constitutive JNK1 active form inhibited hedgehog activity. Interestingly, the inhibitory effect of hydrogen peroxide on hedgehog signalling was blocked by a JNK inhibitor, but not by a p38 inhibitor. Osteoblast differentiation determined by calcium staining was, in part, rescued from oxidative stress by the JNK inhibitor. These findings suggest that oxidative stress inhibits hedgehog signalling and subsequent osteoblast differentiation through an interaction between phospho-JNK1 and GLI1.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":75683,"journal":{"name":"Cell biology international reports","volume":"21 2","pages":"53-62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cbi3.10017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"51264888","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}

The major advantage of tissue engineering approach over traditional organ transplantation is to circumvent the problem of organ shortage. Tissues reconstructed from readily available patents' stem cells induced no immunogenicity when reimplanted in the patient. However, pluripotent stem cells are major limited factors in regenerating new tissues. To overcome these problems, we developed a new technology called as ‘<b>inv</b>ivo <b>i</b>nterspecies <b>t</b>issue <b>e</b>ngineering’ (INVITE) and used the potential of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to regenerate new tissues in a host organism.

This study shows clearly that mouse-induced pluripotent stem cells are able to engraft in rat embryos and are capable to differentiate to multiple tissues.

There are no effective approaches to prevent and treat AKI. During early stage, most ischaemic AKI is reversible, so further research is essential for early intervention in order to prevent and reduce AKI. Cyr61 has been shown to be expressed in renal tubular cells in hypoxic-ischaemic kidney injury, whilst there is no expression in normal tubular cells. In the present study, we have established a stably Cyr61 expressed tubular cell line Cyr61-HK-2 based on HK-2 through recombinant Cyr61-lentivirus, and found that Cyr61 expression promotes tubular epithelial cell proliferation, while the cell apoptosis is inhibited. Further study demonstrated that Cyr61 expression led to BAD phosphorylation, which protects tubular cells from apoptosis, meanwhile Cyr61 activates the Akt and ERK signalling pathways, which are essential for cell proliferation. Altogether, our data showed the Cyr61 expression promotes cell proliferation, while dampening cell apoptosis under hypoxia, potentially suggesting a novel therapeutic approach for AKI.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":75683,"journal":{"name":"Cell biology international reports","volume":"21 2","pages":"47-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/cbi3.10016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"51264790","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}

It also served as a subject in various fields of study except for cell culture. This first report described a simple explant method for culturing cells from the vertebra of ocellaris clownfish. The fish was first anesthetised with iced cold water and decapitated. The body trunk was disinfected in isopropanol and washed in sterile PBS. The vertebra was aseptically excised, washed two times in PBS and minced in the dissection solution (PBS containing 250 IU/mL penicillin, 250 µg/mL streptomycin, 50 µg/mL gentamycin and 2.5 µg/mL amphotericin-B). Then, the vertebral biopsies were washed three more times in PBS before being seeded in 25 cm² culture flasks containing 1.5 mL of RPMI-1640 supplemented with 20% FBS. A small amount of CO₂ was injected into the flask before it was tightly capped and incubated at 28°C in the regular incubator. When the monolayer reached 40–50% confluence, the vertebral biopsies were dislodged together with the medium to initiate a new primary culture. The cell monolayer was subcultured with short, cold 0.05% trypsin. The Nemo cell line was grown in the medium containing 15% FBS. The cell line at passage 4 had the population doubling time of 39.6 h and the cell line at passage 5 could be cryopreserved with 80% viability.

Here we show that transient transfection of ISG12a into various mammalian cell lines leads to accumulation of cells initially in the G1 phase of the cell cycle, followed by accumulation of cells in the sub G1 phase, and that cells transfected with ISG12a undergo morphological changes, such as rounding up and detachment from the plate, that are characteristic of apoptosis.
