Article Abstract
Angiogenesis, the formation of new vessels, occurs in both developmental and pathological contexts. Prior research has investigated vessel formation to identify cellular phenotypes and dynamics associated with angiogenic disease. One major family of proteins involved in angiogenesis are the Rho GTPases, which govern function related to cellular elongation, migration, and proliferation. Using a mechanochemical model coupling Rho GTPase activity and cellular and intercellular mechanics, we investigate the role of cellular mitosis on sprouting angiogenesis. Mitosis-GTPase synchronization was not a strong predictor of GTPase and thus vessel signaling instability, whereas the location of mitotic events was predicted to alter GTPase cycling instabilities. Our model predicts that middle stalk cells undergoing mitosis introduce irregular dynamics in GTPase cycling and may provide a source of aberrant angiogenesis. We also find that cellular and junctional tension exhibit spatial heterogeneity through the vessel, and that tension feedback, specifically in stalk cells, tends to increase the maximum forces generated in the vessel.

Prenatal alcohol exposure perturbs the development of radial glial cells in the fetal olfactory bulb.

Background: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) causes fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and is associated with various cognitive and sensory impairments, including olfactory dysfunction. While both genetic and environmental factors contribute to olfactory dysfunction, PAE is considered a significant factor affecting brain development, including the olfactory system. In this study, we investigated the impact of PAE on the developing olfactory bulb (OB), specifically focusing on OB RGCs-radial glial cells that give rise to OB projection neurons.

Humans are exposed to mixtures of chemical pollutants from various environmental sources at all stages of life. Understanding how these compounds are causally linked to population health effects is challenging because of the ethical limitations on studying controlled human exposures and the complexity of the many potential molecular mechanisms involved. We hypothesized that studies using a combination of in vivo murine stress reporter models together with non-targeted global transcriptome analysis will define the toxic mechanisms of complex chemical mixtures in a physiological context.

Paclitaxel resistance is a major obstacle to achieving long-term remission in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and effective strategies to overcome drug resistance would have significant clinical impact. In this study, we established a paclitaxel-resistant cell clone, T50R, from the human TNBC cell line MDA-MD-231. Intriguingly, these drug-resistant T50R cells required paclitaxel for proliferation.

Aurora kinases are a group of serine/threonine kinases essential for cell mitosis, comprising Aurora A, B, and C. However, the Aurora B is overexpressed in multiple tumors and the aurone has been proved to exhibit potent inhibitory activity against Aurora B kinase by our group. The indolinone was considered as an aurone scaffold hopping analog, and the indolinone-based Aurora B inhibitor library (3577 molecules) was constructed by FBDD strategy.

Background: Docetaxel is the most common chemotherapy regimen for several neoplasms, including advanced OSCC (Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma). Unfortunately, chemoresistance leads to relapse and adverse disease outcomes.
Methods: We performed CRISPR-based kinome screening to identify potential players of Docetaxel resistance.
