The subcellular localization of RNAs correlates with their function and how they are regulated. Most protein-coding mRNAs are exported into the cytoplasm for protein synthesis, while some mRNA species, long noncoding RNAs, and some regulatory element-associated unstable transcripts tend to be retained in the nucleus, where they function as a regulatory unit and/or are regulated by nuclear surveillance pathways. While the mechanisms regulating mRNA export and localization have been well summarized, the mechanisms governing nuclear retention of RNAs, especially of noncoding RNAs, are seldomly reviewed. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the mechanistic study of RNA nuclear retention, especially for noncoding RNAs, from the angle of cis-acting elements embedded in RNA transcripts and their interaction with trans-acting factors. We also try to illustrate the general principles of RNA nuclear retention and we discuss potential areas for future investigation.Fc galactosylation is a critical quality attribute for anti-tumor recombinant immunoglobulin G (IgG)-based monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics with complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) as the mechanism of action. Although the correlation between galactosylation and CDC has been known, the underlying structure-function relationship is unclear. Heterogeneity of the Fc N-glycosylation produced by Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture biomanufacturing process leads to variable CDC potency. Here, we derived a kinetic model of galactose transfer reaction in the Golgi apparatus and used this model to determine the correlation between differently galactosylated species from CHO cell culture process. The model was validated by a retrospective data analysis of more than 800 historical samples from small-scale and large-scale CHO cell cultures. Furthermore, using various analytical technologies, we discovered the molecular basis for Fc glycan terminal galactosylation changing the three-dimensional conformation of the Fc, which facilitates the IgG1 hexamerization, thus enhancing C1q avidity and subsequent complement activation. Our study offers insight into the formation of galactosylated species, as well as a novel three-dimensional understanding of the structure-function relationship of terminal galactose to complement activation in mAb therapeutics.The invertebrate Galleria mellonella has increasingly and widely been used in the last few years to study complex host-microbe interactions. Aspergillus fumigatus is one of the most pathogenic fungi causing life-threatening diseases in humans and animals. Galleria mellonella larvae has been proven as a reliable model for the analysis of pathogenesis and virulence factors, enable to screen a large number of A. fumigatus strains. This review describes the different uses of G. mellonella to study A. fumigatus and provides a comparison of the different protocols to trace fungal pathogenicity. The review also includes a summary of the diverse mutants tested in G. mellonella, and their respective contribution to A. fumigatus virulence. Previous investigations indicated that G. mellonella should be considered as an interesting tool even though a mammalian model may be required to complete and verify initial data.Biomaterials serve as an integral component of tissue engineering. They are designed to provide architectural framework of native extracellular matrix so as to encourage cell growth and eventual tissue regeneration. Naturally occurring biopolymers as scaffolds offer options for cartilage tissue engineering due to anti-inflammatory, biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity of degradation by-products and plasticity in processing into a variety of material formats. Here we studied in vitro anti-inflammatory potential of marine macromolecules cross-linked bio-composite scaffold composed of hydroxyapatite, alginate, chitosan and fucoidan named as HACF on LPS stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. The effects of HACF on the viability of RAW264.7 cells, nitrite level, intracellular ROS as well as the mRNA levels of NF-κB, iNOS, COX-2, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were examined in LPS induced RAW264.7 macrophage cells. The results revealed that HACF hydrogel scaffold exerts anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the production of ROS, suppress NF-kB translocation to the nucleus and thereby inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators. selleck Hence, our results confirm that HACF has a strong anti-oxidant capacity to inhibit inflammation associated gene expression by suppressing NF-kB signaling pathway. It clearly reveals the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect of HACF hydrogel scaffold on LPS induced RAW 264.7 cells.An array of 4H-chromene derivatives have been reported for anticancer properties but their selectivity and mode of anticancer activity are unexplored. In this context, we have investigated a biologically active synthetically designed 4H-Chromene carbonitrile derivative, 2-amino-6-nitro-4-(4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-5-yl)-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile (ANC) that is strongly and selectively inhibited Bcl-2 over expressing human leukemic (HL-60 and K562) cells for its interaction and elucidated the mode of action. The interaction of ANC was investigated against the antiapoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2, Bax, Bcl-xL and Bcl-w that were overexpressed in leukemic cells using in silico and fluorescent spectroscopic studies. Fluorescent spectroscopic based interaction studies showed that the derivative had strong interaction with Bcl-xL followed by Bcl-2/Bax and least interaction with Bcl-w. Based on the results, the ANC had strong interactions with antiapoptotic Bcl-2 and Bax proteins than the Bcl-xL and Bcl-w proteins. The in vitro biological validation of ANC treated leukemic cells showed downregulation of Bcl-xL than Bcl-2 but least effect on Bcl-w proteins. Furthermore, the ANC had possible four isomers as RR, RS, SR and SS isomers. Among them, RS isomer of ANC had shown more active that correlated with biological interactions and gene expression studies of ACN with oncoproteins. These results confirmed the induction of apoptosis by RS-ACN isomer through inhibition of antiapoptotic machineries of leukemic cells confirming the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 inhibitory activities.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
