IMPDH inhibition enhances cytarabine efficacy in SAMHD1‐expressing leukaemia cells via guanine nucleotide depletion

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cytarabine is a key therapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), but its efficacy is limited by the dNTPase SAMHD1, which hydrolyses its active metabolite. Screening nucleotide biosynthesis inhibitors revealed that IMPDH inhibitors selectively sensitise SAMHD1‐proficient AML cells to cytarabine.

A laboratory modification to testicular sperm preparation technique improves spermatogenic cell yield

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2014
Testicular sperm extraction is a common procedure used to find spermatogenic cells in men with nonobstructive azoospermia. The laboratory processing of biopsied testicular tissues needs to be performed meticulously to acquire a high yield of cells.

Establishment of a humanized patient‐derived xenograft mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer for preclinical evaluation of combination immunotherapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...

Herpes virus infected spermatozoa following density gradient centrifugation for IVF purposes

Andrologia, 2012
Studies have documented the presence of herpes viruses in semen. The aim of our study was to determine whether they persist in semen samples following two‐density gradient centrifugation for IVF purposes. Semen samples were collected from 109 men seeking

Targeting TNBC: core–shell polycationic polyurea dendrimers with inherent anticancer activity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Core–shell polycationic PURE dendrimers were tested in TNBC‐derived tumor models. Both formulations selectively targeted TNBC and effectively reduced tumor volume. PUREG4‐OEI48 suppressed tumor growth without detectable toxicity, whereas PUREG4‐OCEI24, despite showing efficacy, induced hepatic toxicity.

Metformin promotes mitochondrial integrity through AMPK‐signaling in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Metformin mediates mitochondrial quality control in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) fibroblasts carrying mtDNA mutations. At therapeutic levels, metformin activates AMPK signaling to restore mitochondrial dynamics by promoting fusion and restraining fission, while preserving mitochondrial mass, enhancing autophagy/mitophagy and biogenesis ...

Density Gradient Centrifugation Studies of Rubella Virus

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1966
SummaryRubella virus was grown in three different mammalian kidney cell lines. The resulting virus-containing supernates were concentrated by forced dialysis and were then studied for density on sucrose gradients. All of the virus preparations produced peaked infectivity bands with 99% of the infec-tivity concentrated in a band from 1.040 to 1.120 g ...

dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Surface modification of Beckman Ultra-Clear centrifuge tubes for density gradient centrifugation of lipoproteins

Journal of Lipid Research, 1982
A simple procedure for coating the interior surface of Beckman Ultra-Clear centrifuge tubes with polyvinyl alcohol is described. The coated tubes are wettable and allow salt solutions to gravity-feed down their sides.
