Effect of silencing SSB1 gene on the expression of NBS1 in irradiated rat submandibular gland cells
In this study, we irradiated rat submandibular gland (SMG) cells, which were either infected with a rAdE5-SSB1-1p2-shRNA recombinant adenovirus to silence SSB or a control virus, to explore the effect of IR on the expression NBS1 in the absence of SSB. Our results showed that the SSB1 mRNA transcripts and protein expression of SSB1 and NBS1 initially increased and decreased later with increased doses. The relative expression reached the highest levels when the SMG cells were irradiated with 2Gy of IR. Silencing the SSB1 gene suppressed the expression of both SSB1 and NBS1 regardless of irradiation. The expression of NBS1 d...

Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2024 Jan 31;70(1):46-55. doi: 10.14715/cmb/2024.70.1.7.ABSTRACTLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a common pathological type of non-small cell lung cancer; identifying preferable biomarkers has become one of the current challenges. Given that VTA1 has been reported associated with tumor progression in various human solid cancers but rarely reported in LUAD, herein, RNA sequencing data from TCGA and GTEx were obtained for analysis of VTA1 expression and differentially expressed gene (DEG). Furthermore, functional enrichment analysis of VTA1-related DEGs was performed by GO/KEGG, GSEA, immune cell ...
