The cell cycle is a complex sequence of events by which cells grow and divide mitotically or meiotically. Mitosis results in the generation of two identical daughter cells, while meiosis generates gametes as a prerequisite for sexual reproduction. To study the localization and dynamics of proteins involved in the regulation and proceeding of the cell cycle, life cell imaging of proteins fused to fluorescent tags can be performed. However, in some cases this approach cannot be applied, e.g., due to low fluorescence intensity, fast bleaching, or degradation of recombinant proteins by the proteasome pathway. Instead, immunolabeling with protein-specific antibodies offers a useful approach for the analysis of intact cells. Alternatively, immunolabeling can also be applied to isolated and/or flow-sorted nuclei of particular cell cycle stages (G1, S, and G2) or of different endopolyploidy levels. The following chapter will detail indirect immunolabeling protocols to analyze the subcellular localization and distribution of cell cycle-specific proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Wings apart-like protein (WAPL) has emerged as a key player in maintaining genome integrity through its regulation of cohesin dynamics, which govern chromatin architecture and gene expression. WAPL mainly acts as a cohesin release factor and ensures proper chromosomal segregation during mitosis by promoting sister chromatid resolution. Owing to its prominent role in cell biology, WAPL dysregulation can cause genomic instability and disrupt chromosomal cohesion, leading to diseases such as cancer.

The Mediterranean Basin, a hotspot for tomato production, is one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change, where rising temperatures and increasing soil and water salinization represent major threats to agricultural sustainability. Thus, to understand the molecular mechanisms behind plant responses to this stress combination, an RNA-Seq analysis was conducted on roots and shoots of tomato plants exposed to salt (100 mM NaCl) and/or heat (42°C, 4 h each day) stress for 21 days. The analysis identified over 8000 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) under combined stress conditions, with 1716 DEGs in roots and 2665 in shoots being exclusively modulated in response to this specific stress condition.

Background: Preoperative embolization is hypothesized to reduce blood loss and operative time for meningioma resection, but the impact of preoperative embolization on long-term oncological outcomes and molecular features of meningiomas is incompletely understood. Here we investigate how preoperative embolization influences perioperative and long-term outcomes and molecular features of atypical WHO grade 2 meningiomas.
Methods: Patients who underwent resection of WHO grade 2 meningiomas from 1997 to 2021 were retrospectively identified from an institutional database.

Anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) regulates the cell cycle by destruction of target proteins ubiquitination. However, understanding the control of APC/C has remained elusive. We identify APC2, the catalytic core subunit of APC/C, as a binding partner of active regulator of SIRT1 (AROS).

Introduction: The presence of severe hypoxic stress can drive tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastatic characteristics via up-regulated hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α). Hence, targeting HIF-1α is considered a promising strategy, as increased HIF-1α activity is a key factor in the aggressive phenotype of malignancies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the anti-cancer effects of several flavonoids, both single and in combination with PX-478, in breast cancer cell lines.
