2 N/mm P = 0.009, 26.7 ± 5.2 N/mm vs 19.4 ± 5.2 N/mm P less then 0.001). Improved bone-tendon interface histological maturity scores (14.8 ± 0.9 vs 8.2 ± 1.5 P = 0.027, 16.8 ± 0.7 vs 10.5 ± 1.4 P = 0.027) and large metachromasia areas (0.117 ± 0.053 mm2 vs 0.032 ± 0.017 mm2P = 0.022, 0.14 ± 0.046 mm2 vs 0.037 ± 0.016 mm2P = 0.007) were obtained in the preservation group compared with the removal group at 4 and 12 weeks. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that preserving remnant tissue in anatomical repair can significantly improve rotator cuff healing compared with remnant tissue removal on footprint in terms of biomechanical properties, bone-tendon interface histological maturity scores and metachromasia at 4 and 12 weeks post-repair in a rotator cuff tear rabbit model. As one of the most widespread environmental pollutants, benzo[α]pyrene is metabolized to diol epoxides and then covalently breaks the initial DNA base pairs, which has been closely related to the occurrence and development of many human cancers. High fidelity DNA polymerases play an extremely important role in maintaining the reliability or fidelity of nucleic acid replication, which is generally blocked by BP adducts. To reveal the blocking mechanism of BP, two comparative molecular dynamics simulations were performed for the thermophilic Bacillus stearothermophilus DNA polymerase I large fragment (BF) complexes with normal and BP-bound DNA duplexes. The results of global conformational changes and molecular interactions show that the association of BP leads to the rearrangement of intramolecular hydrogen bonds, impairing the molecular recognition between the polymerase and the DNA duplex. It is also found that the conformation of DNA duplex is distorted, accompanied by an increase in molecular overall rigidity. In terms of possible blocking mechanisms, the BP moiety perfectly integrates itself into the base-paired environment in a special vertical conformation and occupies the space required for the incoming nucleotide. This work provides useful dynamics and structural information for understanding the toxic effect of BP on DNA replication at atomic level. OBJECTIVE Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a degenerative disease characterized by progressive cartilage degeneration, abnormal bone remodeling, and chronic pain. In this study, we aimed to investigate effective therapies to reverse or suppress TMJOA progression. DESIGN To this end, we performed intravenous administration of serum free conditioned media from human exfoliated deciduous teeth stem cells (SHED-CM) into a mechanical-stress induced murine TMJOA model. RESULTS SHED-CM administration markedly suppressed temporal muscle inflammation, and improved bone integrity and surface smoothness of the destroyed condylar cartilage. Moreover, SHED-CM treatment decreased the number of IL-1β, iNOS, and MMP-13 expressing chondrocytes, whereas it specifically increased PCNA-positive cells in the multipotent polymorphic cell layer. Notably, the numbers of TUNEL-positive apoptotic chondrocytes in the SHED-CM treated condyles were significantly lower than in those treated with DMEM, whereas the proteoglycan positive area was restored to a level similar to that of the sham treated group, demonstrating that SHED-CM treatment regenerated the mechanical-stress injured condylar cartilage and subchondral bone. Secretome analysis revealed that SHED-CM contained multiple therapeutic factors that act in osteochondral regeneration. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrated that SHED-CM treatment promoted the regeneration and repair of mechanical-stress induced mouse TMJOA. Our observations suggest that SHED-CM has potential to be a potent tissue-regenerating therapeutic agent for patients with severe TMJOA. RNA viruses can cause severe diseases such as dengue, Lassa, chikungunya and Ebola. Many of these viruses can only be propagated under high containment levels, necessitating the development of low containment surrogate systems such as subgenomic replicons and minigenome systems. Replicons are self-amplifying recombinant RNA molecules expressing proteins sufficient for their own replication but which do not produce infectious virions. Replicons can persist in cells and are passed on during cell division, enabling quick, efficient and high-throughput testing of drug candidates that act on viral transcription, translation and replication. This review will explore the history and potential for drug discovery of hepatitis C virus, dengue virus, respiratory syncytial virus, Ebola virus and norovirus replicon and minigenome systems.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs, which are used to treat type 2 diabetes, reduce endoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammation in pancreatic β-cells and improve their survival. However, their effects on the heat shock response (HSR) have not been elucidated yet. We investigated whether the GLP-1 analog exendin-4 exerts its protective effect by modulating the HSR and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in BTC-6 mouse pancreatic cells under palmitic acid (PA) stress. Expression patterns were analyzed using mass spectrometry, Western blotting, and qRT-PCR in the presence of 250 or 400 μM PA and 100 nM exendin-4. Additionally, we measured MAPK expression and phosphorylation using qRT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Epigenetic inhibitor Upregulation of heat shock protein (HSP), notably HSP72, in the presence of PA, was attenuated by exendin-4. Despite the absence of global effects on the HSR system, exendin-4 attenuated the expression of other non-classical HSPs (GRP94, DNAJA1, and DNAJB6) in the presence of PA. Regarding MAPKs, only extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation was highly increased by exendin-4 in both the presence and absence of PA. Furthermore, exendin-4 significantly alleviated PA-induced cell death, which was further confirmed with proteomics analysis where key cellular functions, including cellular growth, assembly, and organization, were improved by exendin-4 treatment. Thus, our results expand the protective role of GLP-1 analogs to include other cellular mechanisms involved in restoring normal β-cell homeostasis.
