Article Abstract
A fluorescence-detection size-exclusion chromatography (FSEC) method was developed to characterize DNA in cell culture supernatant. Samples stained with Picogreen were fractionated by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and monitored simultaneously by UV absorbance and fluorescence. SEC provided a size-characterization capability absent from bulk fluorescent assays, and was also free from interference from other fluorescent and UV-absorbing small-molecule cell culture components. FSEC revealed that DNA in mammalian cell culture supernatant exists mostly in the form of nucleosomal arrays. FSEC combined with agarose electrophoresis revealed spontaneous degradation of DNA in mammalian cell culture supernatant over a 30 day period at 4 °C: from arrays containing up to ~40 nucleosomes, down to arrays containing three or fewer nucleosomes. It also detected nucleosomal DNA in wheat, soy, and yeast hydrolysates commonly used to enhance cell culture productivity.

Background: Volatile anesthetics are gaining recognition for their benefits in long-term sedation of mechanically ventilated patients with bacterial pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. In addition to their sedative role, they also exhibit anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, though the mechanisms behind these effects remain only partially understood. In vitro studies examining the prolonged impact of volatile anesthetics on bacterial growth, inflammatory cytokine response, and surfactant proteins - key to maintaining lung homeostasis - are still lacking.

Structural biology is fundamental to understanding the molecular basis of biological processes. While machine learning-based protein structure prediction has advanced considerably, experimentally determined structures remain indispensable for guiding structure-function analyses and for improving predictive modeling. However, experimental studies of protein complexes continue to pose challenges, particularly due to the necessity of high protein concentrations and purity for downstream analyses such as cryogenic electron microscopy.

Study Question: What is the direct effect of mumps virus (MuV) replication within the human testis on the tissue innate immune responses and testicular cell functions?
Summary Answer: MuV induces an early pro-inflammatory response in the human testis ex vivo and infects both Leydig cells and Sertoli cells, which drastically alters testosterone and inhibin B production.
What Is Known Already: Despite widespread vaccination efforts, orchitis remains a significant complication of MuV infection, especially in young men, which potentially results in infertility in up to 87% of patients with bilateral orchitis. Our understanding of MuV pathogenesis in the human testis has been limited by the lack of relevant animal models, impairing the development of effective treatments.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is caused by inactivating variants of ALPL, the gene encoding tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). In order to deepen our understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of HPP, we herein generated ALPL-knockout (KO) human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by applying CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene deletion to an iPS clone derived from a healthy subject. We analyzed two ALPL-KO clones, one ALPL-hetero KO clone, and a control clone isogenic except for ALPL.

Background: Bone infection induces a strong inflammatory response and leads to impaired bone regeneration, in which macrophages sense mechanistic signals and modulate immune responses in the inflammatory microenvironment through Piezo1. Nonetheless, the regulatory role of Piezo1 in macrophages during bone infection remains elusive.
Methods: Rat models of infected bone defects were established for bulk RNA sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing.
