However, its precise role in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) remains elusive. Here, we observed a significant decrease in the expression of TRIM3 in CESC cells. Overexpression of TRIM3 suppresses cell proliferation and clonal formation. Through the establishment of cisplatin (cDDP)-resistant CESC cell lines, we discovered that the expression of TRIM3 was further downregulated in cDDP-resistant cells, while overexpression of TRIM3 enhanced cellular sensitivity to cDDP. Mechanistic investigations revealed that TRIM3 directly interacts with GRP78, a crucial protein involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) pathway, promoting its ubiquitination degradation. Under cDDP treatment, the overexpression of TRIM3 in cDDP-resistant cells suppressed cell proliferation and downregulated the expression of drug-resistant genes, while simultaneously enhancing the activation of apoptosis signaling pathways. However, co-expression of TRIM3 and GRP78 restored cellular sensitivity to cDDP back to normal levels. Consequently, overexpressing TRIM3 in drug-resistant cells facilitates PERK activation and subsequent induction of apoptosis through inhibition of GRP78, ultimately suppressing drug resistance and inducing apoptosis in CESC cells. In conclution, our study suggests that the TRIM3/GRP78 axis regulates cDDP resistance in CESC cells by modulating the downstream apoptotic pathway of ERS.","PeriodicalId":8775,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry and Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142766033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They were tested against the pathogenic Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 strain and a Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus MRSA strain. Both strains were engineered to express the green fluorescent protein (GFP) protein, and fluorescence detection was used to measure the ability of the peptides to prevent biofilm formation (minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC)) or to cause the breakdown of established biofilms (minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC)). Similar antibiofilm activities were obtained with the standard crystal violet dye assay. Most Trp- and Arg-rich hexapeptides displayed a potent antibiofilm activity against the Gram-positive S. aureus MRSA strain. In particular, hexapeptides with 3 Arg and 3 Trp were very effective, especially when they contained the three Trp in sequence. Somewhat unexpectedly, the antimicrobial (MIC) values correlated with the MBIC and MBEC values, which has not been seen for several other AMP/antibiofilm peptides.

E2F8 knockdown suppressed bladder cancer cell proliferation, accompanied by the performance of G1 phase arrest and the upregulated Cyclin D1 protein expression. The migrative and invasive capability was reduced in E2F8-depleted bladder cancer cells. Cisplatin resistance is an important cause of bladder cancer relapse. E2F8 downregulation facilitated cisplatin-induced apoptosis of bladder cancer cells. MCM7 is regulated by E2F and has been shown to participate in bladder cancer. There was a positive correlation between E2F8 and MCM7 expression in bladder cancer. We confirmed that E2F8 bound to the promoter region of MCM7 and activated MCM7 transcription. MCM7 overexpression abrogated the suppressive effects of E2F8 knockdown on malignant phenotypes of bladder cancer cells.

Here, we investigated the impact of Srcap knockdown on H2A.Z incorporation and transcriptional regulation in N2A cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed reduced H2A.Z occupancy at activity-dependent and neurodevelopmental genes upon Srcap knockdown, confirming Srcap's role in H2A.Z deposition. Interestingly, CBP recruitment and global histone H3 acetylation were unaffected by Srcap knockdown at steady-state conditions, suggesting an H2A.Z-specific function of Srcap. We also observed that retinoic acid-induced neuronal differentiation leads to dynamic changes in H2A.Z levels at developmental loci, which are disrupted in Srcap-deficient cells. Gene expression analysis revealed altered expression of neurodevelopmental genes in the absence of Srcap, correlating with reduced H2A.Z occupancy. Together, these findings demonstrate that Srcap is essential for regulating H2A.Z dynamics and gene expression during neuronal differentiation, offering new insights into its role in chromatin remodelling and its potential involvement in neurodevelopmental disorders.","PeriodicalId":8775,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry and Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143603877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the later decades of the 20th century, intensive research efforts examined the synthesis, trafficking, and activity of lysosomal enzymes in D. discoideum. Subsequent work revealed that lysosomes are essential for all stages of the D. discoideum life cycle and the genome encodes dozens of homologs of human lysosomal enzymes, including those associated with lysosomal storage diseases. Additionally, protocols for examining the trafficking and activity of lysosomal enzymes in D. discoideum are well-established.

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of native and iron-saturated bovine LF in a murine model of dysbiosis induced by Clin. Six groups of male C57BL/6 mice were treated with saline (control), Clin, native lactoferrin (nLF), iron-saturated lactoferrin (sLF), nLF/Clin, or sLF/Clin. Oxidation caused in the intestinal cells of the ileum of animals subjected to different treatments was analyzed, focusing on lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl content. The expression of inflammatory mediators was determined by qRT-PCR. Treatment with Clin did not modify lipid peroxidation, but significantly increased protein carbonyl levels up to almost 5-fold respect to the control, an effect that was reversed by orally administering sLF to mice. Furthermore, Clin increased the expression of interleukin-6 and TNF-α by 1- and 2-fold change, respectively. This effect was reversed by treatment with nLF and sLF, decreasing the expression to basal levels. In conclusion, this study indicates that lactoferrin can prevent some of the effects of Clin on intestinal cells and their associated immune system.","PeriodicalId":8775,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry and Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142387572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Advancing technologies and burgeoning mechanistic theories assist our understanding of the complexity of MeCP2 but may inadvertently cloud it if not rigorously tested. Here, rather than focus on RTT, we examine relatively underexplored aspects of MeCP2, such as its dosage homeostasis at the gene and protein levels, its controversial participation in phase separation, and its overlooked role in depression and oxidative stress. All these factors may be essential to understanding the full scope of MeCP2 function in healthy and diseased states, but are relatively infrequently studied and require further criticism. The aim of this review is to discuss the esoteric facets of MeCP2 at the molecular and pathological levels and to consider to what extent they may be necessary for general MeCP2 function.","PeriodicalId":8775,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry and Cell Biology","volume":"103 ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143045539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
