Lentiviral ‑mediated inducible silencing of TLR4 attenuates neuropathic pain in a rat model of chronic constriction injury.
In conclusion, TLR4 may serve a significant role in neuropathy and the results of the present study provide an inducible lentivirus‑mediated siRNA against TLR4 that may serve as a potential novel strategy to be applied in gene therapy for NP in the future.

Lactate-mediated mitoribosomal defects impair mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and promote hepatoma cell invasiveness Gene Regulation
Impaired mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) capacity, accompanied by enhanced glycolysis, is a key metabolic feature of cancer cells, but its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Previously, we reported that human hepatoma cells that harbor OXPHOS defects exhibit high tumor cell invasiveness via elevated claudin-1 (CLN1). In the present study, we show that OXPHOS-defective hepatoma cells (SNU354 and SNU423 cell lines) exhibit reduced expression of mitochondrial ribosomal protein L13 (MRPL13), a mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome) subunit, suggesting a ribosomal defect. Specific inhibition of mitoribosomal ...

Cx32 suppresses extrinsic apoptosis in human cervical cancer cells via the NF ‑κB signalling pathway.
In conclusion, Cx32 suppressed TNFα /TRAIL-induced extrinsic apoptosis by upregulating the NF‑κB signalling pathway. This study demonstrates a novel mechanism for Cx32's anti-apoptotic effect and provides a reasonable explanation for the pro-tumour effect of Cx32 in human CaCx cells.

Cx32 inhibits TNF α-induced extrinsic apoptosis with and without EGFR suppression.
Cx32 inhibits TNFα-induced extrinsic apoptosis with and without EGFR suppression. Oncol Rep. 2017 Sep 07;: Authors: Lai Y, Tao L, Zhao Y, Zhang X, Sun X, Wang Q, Xu C Abstract Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) can trigger the extrinsic apoptosis pathway. Our previous study indicated that connexin32 (Cx32) inhibited streptonigrin-induced intrinsic apoptosis via the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway. However, whether Cx32 can exert effects on the extrinsic apoptosis pathway through EGFR signaling remains unclear. In the present study, we inv...

Differential Expression of OATP1B3 Mediates Unconjugated Testosterone Influx
This study was undertaken to ascertain the androgen uptake kinetics, functional, and clinical relevance of de novo expression of the steroid hormone transporter OATP1B3 (SLCO1B3). Experiments testing the cellular uptake of androgens suggest that testosterone is an excellent substrate of OATP1B3 (Km = 23.2 μmol/L; Vmax = 321.6 pmol/mg/minute), and cells expressing a doxycycline-inducible SLCO1B3 construct had greater uptake of a clinically relevant concentration of 3H-testosterone (50 nmol/L; 1.6-fold, P = 0.0027). When compared with Slco1b2 (–/–) mice, Slco1b2 (–/–)/hSLCO1B3 knockins had greater ...

IL-24 modulates the high mobility group (HMG) A1/miR222 /AKT signaling in lung cancer cells.
Authors: Panneerselvam J, Srivastava A, Muralidharan R, Wang Q, Zheng W, Zhao L, Chen A, Zhao YD, Munshi A, Ramesh R Abstract Interleukin (IL)-24, a novel tumor suppressor/cytokine exhibits antitumor activity against a broad-spectrum of human cancer cells. In a recent study, we showed that IL-24 inhibited AKT in lung cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanism of AKT inhibition by IL-24 remains elusive.The high mobility group (HMG) A1 a member of the non-histone chromosomal proteins and commonly referred to as architectural transcription factor, regulates transcription of various genes involved in cell growth an...

Cellular uptake of lead in the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier: Novel roles of Connexin 43 hemichannel and its down-regulations via Erk phosphorylation.
This study was designed to investigate the roles of Cx43 in Pb uptake in the epithelial cells. Autometallography was used to outline Pb's subcellular location, and the characteristics of Pb transport into CP cells, including concentration- and time-dependence were analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Knockdown/overexpression of Cx43 with transient siRNA/plasmids transfections before Pb exposure diminished/increased the Pb accumulation. In the Z310 cell-based doxycycline-inducible Cx43 expression cell line (iZCx43), doxycycline induced a significant increase (3-fold) in Pb uptake, corresponding to the increased Cx43 ...

The activation of KSHV lytic cycle blocks autophagy in PEL cells.
This study confirms that autophagy is activated concomitantly with KSHV lytic cycle induction, and that autophagy inhibition by BECN1 knockdown reduces viral lytic gene expression. In addition, we extend previous observations and show that autophagy is blocked at late steps, during viral replication. This is indicated by the lack of colocalization of autophagosomes and lysosomes and by the LC3-II level that does not increase in the presence of bafilomycin A1 in primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) cells induced to enter the lytic cycle, either by TPA/sodium butyrate (BC3 and BCBL1) or by doxycycline (TRExBCBL1-Rta). The autopha...

Abstract 1140: PI3K/Akt inhibition decreases oxygen consumption In tumor cells by phosphorylating and inactivating pyruvate dehydrogenase PDH E1{alpha} subunit
The PI3K/mTOR pathway plays a central role in coupling metabolic processes to the cellular proliferative state. Pharmacologic inhibitors of the PI3K/mTOR pathway or genetic inhibition of Akt/PI3K decreased the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in transformed cell lines in vitro by 30-40%. Pharmacologic inhibition of this pathway increased phosphorylation of the E1α subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex on Ser293, an inhibitory modification of this critical gatekeeper of mitochondrial respiration. Expressing wild type PTEN in a doxycycline-inducible manner in a glioblastoma cell line with mutant PTEN led to an in...

Abstract B05: PI3K/mTOR pathway-dependent regulation of oxygen metabolism via pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH)-E1alpha phosphorylation
The PI3K/mTOR pathway plays a central role in coupling metabolic processes to the cellular proliferative state. In the current study we show that pharmacological inhibition of this pathway leads to a decrease in hypoxia within SQ20B human head and neck cancer xenografts. The mechanism underlying the effect appears in part to be due to reduced tumor cell oxygen consumption induced by the drug. Pharmacologic inhibitors of the PI3K/mTOR pathway or genetic inhibition of Akt/PI3K decreased the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in transformed cell lines in vitro by 30-40%. Pharmacologic inhibition of this pathway increased phosphory...

Phosphorylation of interleukin (IL)-24 is required for mediating its anti-cancer activity.
In this study we conducted molecular studies to determine whether IL-24 phosphorylation is important for IL-24-mediated anti-cancer activity.Human H1299 lung tumor cell line that was stably transfected with a doxycycline (DOX)-inducible (Tet-on) plasmid vector carrying the cDNA of IL-24-wild-type (IL-24wt) or IL-24 with all five phosphorylation sites replaced (IL-24mt) was used in the present study. Inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, cell migration and invasion, and induction of G2/M cell cycle arrest was observed in DOX-induced IL-24wt-expressing cells but not in IL-24mt-expressing cells. Secretion of IL-24mt protein...
