Article Abstract

A simple and rapid method for reproducible transient expression experiments to quickly identify the best conditions before the development of a stable CHO cell line is described, using adalimumab as a model antibody. Firstly, the signal peptide (SP) is optimized using different in silico programs, of which those having a D score of more than 0.85 will be selected. A list of useful SPs is provided. Next, guidelines for selecting the codon optimization algorithm is provided based on a CAI value of more than 0.95. After that, the codon optimized genes of the heavy chain (HC) and light chain (LC) of an antibody with different SPs are engineered into an expression vector and the two recombinant plasmids are co-transfected into a CHO cell line of interest. The antibody titer, specific productivity (Qp), and viable cell density (VCD) are then checked by ELISA and flow cytometry analysis. The best SP pairs can then be used for the development of stable CHO cell lines.

Cephalothin, a First-Generation Cephem Antibiotic, Works as a Potent Inducer of Parthanatos.

Parthanatos is a noncanonical form of regulated cell death mediated by the overactivation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1, yet its regulatory mechanisms are not fully understood. To fully elucidate its regulatory mechanisms, it is necessary to establish useful research tools to investigate parthanatos. We have previously identified the human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells as highly sensitive cells to parthanatos, and cefotaxime, a 3rd-generation cephem antibiotic, as the parthanatos inducer.

Phagocytosis is mediated mainly by immune cells, such as macrophages, monocytes and neutrophils, that clear large pathogens including bacteria. The small GTP-binding protein Rab5 is crucial for both clathrin-dependent endocytosis and phagocytosis, but the role and mechanism of Rab5 activation during phagocytosis are poorly understood. Here we report that nitric oxide (NO), a novel regulator of Rab5, regulates phagocytosis through S-nitrosylation of Rab5.

Prenatal exposure to synthetic antioxidants and plasticizers and spontaneous preterm birth: Preliminary exploration of mixed effects and EGFR-linked molecular responses.

Synthetic antioxidants and plasticizers have emerged as environmental contaminants to which prenatal exposure is widespread, raising concerns about adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the association between prenatal exposure to a mixture of synthetic antioxidants and plasticizers and the risk of spontaneous preterm birth (SPB), alongside underlying molecular responses. A nested case-control design was established, including 80 SPB cases and 170 matched healthy controls.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) dimerization plays a pivotal role in cellular signaling, influencing proliferation and disease progression, particularly in cancer. Despite extensive studies, the quantitative relationship between EGFR expression levels and dimerization efficiency remains incompletely understood. In this study, we investigated EGFR dimerization kinetics using ensemble-level biochemical assays and single-molecule tracking (SMT) in living cells.
