Article Abstract

In the mammalian cell nucleus, chromosomes are folded differently in interphase and mitosis. Interphase chromosomes are relatively decondensed and display at least two unique layers of higher-order organization: topologically associating domains (TADs) and cell-type-specific A/B compartments, which correlate well with early/late DNA replication timing (RT). In mitosis, these structures rapidly disappear but are gradually reconstructed during G1 phase, coincident with the establishment of the RT program. However, these structures also change dynamically during cell differentiation and reprogramming, and yet we are surprisingly ignorant about the relationship between their cell cycle dynamics and developmental dynamics. In this review, we summarize the recent findings on this topic, discuss how these two processes might be coordinated with each other and its potential significance.

GADD45A is Essential for Granulosa Cells Differentiation and Ovarian Reserve in Human and Mice.

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) poses significant challenges in reproductive health, with emerging evidence implicating DNA damage repair pathways. While GADD45A is a critical regulator of DNA repair, cell cycle and apoptosis, its role in DOR pathogenesis remains unexplored. We employed transcriptome sequencing, qPCR and Western Blot analyses to compare GADD45A expression in granulosa cells (GCs) between DOR patients and controls.

Tralopyril (TP), a representative bromopyrrolonitrile, functions as a broad-spectrum insecticide, raising growing concerns about its potential impact on aquatic organisms and human intestinal health. However, the key targets and toxicity mechanisms underlying TP-induced enteritis remain unclear. In this study, we utilized network toxicology combined with molecular docking to comprehensively explore the potential molecular mechanisms underlying TP-induced enteritis.

Bromuconazole, a widely used triazole-based pesticide, effectively controls fungal diseases in agriculture. Bromuconazole cause a potential toxic effect to non-target organisms and can have a negative impact on reproductive health in women, due to its long half-life and bioaccumulation ability. This study identifies the cytotoxicity and adverse effects of bromuconazole on trophoblastic cells (HTR-8/SVneo) and human endometrial cells (T HESCs), which are involved in implantation processes.

Fludioxonil, a fungicide commonly used in agriculture, has been detected in livestock, such as cattle, even though it is primarily intended for use in plants. Unintended exposure to fludioxonil may compromise immune cells, cardiomyocytes, and glioma cells, indicating its potential risk as an environmental hazard. However, research on the detrimental effects of fludioxonil remains scarce, particularly regarding its impact on livestock, which are directly exposed to fludioxonil because of its widespread agricultural use.
