Genetic selection for immunocompetence in chickens

, 1990
The immunocompetence of an individual is essential to the disease resistance capabilities of the individual. The goal of this study was to determine the feasibility of a multi-trait index selection approach to improve general immune competence of ...

Mepce Restrains Ferroptosis in Prostate Cancer Through 7SK–P‐TEFb Pause Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide CRISPR screening identifies MEPCE as a pause‐control regulator that restrains ferroptosis in prostate cancer. MEPCE loss releases P‐TEFb/CDK9 from 7SK snRNP control, enhances RNAPII Ser2 phosphorylation, and accelerates NRF2‐HMOX1‐driven labile iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation, revealing a transcriptional kinetic gate that lowers ...

GM‐CSF Promotes Neutrophil PD‐L1 Expression Through the VEGFR‐2/STAT6/CSF2 Signaling Axis in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
VEGFR‐2 signaling in OSCC activates Src–STAT6‐dependent CSF2 transcription, driving tumor‐derived GM‐CSF secretion. GM‐CSF programs neutrophils to express PD‐L1 through STAT5–mTOR/S6K signaling, suppressing cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. This pathway reveals a tumor–neutrophil immune checkpoint circuit that limits anti‐PD‐1 responsiveness in OSCC.

Does paternal immunocompetence affect offspring vulnerability to maternal androgens? A study in domestic chickens

Biology Open, 2019
Exposure of yolk androgens can positively stimulate chick growth and competitive ability, but may negatively affect immunity. It has been hypothesized that only chicks from immunologically superior fathers can bear the cost of prenatal exposure to high ...

Fibrillarin Resists Cellular Senescence Via SIRT1‐Dependent Nicotinamide Metabolism and Its Inhibition Sensitizes Senolytic Therapy in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
FBL directly binds to and stabilizes SIRT1 by blocking its ubiquitin‐proteasome degradation, thereby sustaining nicotinamide metabolism and redox homeostasis to counteract cellular senescence in ESCC. Genetic and pharmacological suppression of FBL sensitizes tumor cells to senolytic therapy.

Cryptosporidiosis in Immunocompetent Patients

New England Journal of Medicine, 1985
The intestinal protozoan cryptosporidium is known to cause diarrhea in immunocompromised patients, but few cases have been reported in detail in immunocompetent persons. During a 12-month period, we identified cryptosporidium in the stools of 43 immunocompetent patients.

Testosterone, immunocompetence, and honest sexual signaling in male red grouse [PDF]

, 2004
The expression of sexual ornaments has been suggested to reliably indicate individual quality, such as the ability to cope with parasites and diseases. The Immunocompetence Handicap Hypothesis (IHH) states that testosterone-dependent ornaments honestly ...

METTL7A Downregulation Drives SLC1A5‐Mediated Glutamine Competition to Promote Tumor Proliferation and Suppress CD8+ T Cell Immunity in Gastric Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
GC cells enhance glutamine accumulation by upregulating SLC1A5 expression. This upregulation not only boosts GC cell proliferation, but also outcompetes CD8+ T cells for glutamine and suppresses their antitumor immunity. Mechanistically, METTL7A deficiency in GC induces SLC1A5 overexpression via an m6A‐dependent pathway and N‐glycosylation ...

Nanoparticle‐Mediated TIPE1 mRNA Delivery Enhances Paclitaxel Sensitivity in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer by Modulating RAB7A Ubiquitination‐Associated Stability and Autophagy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TIPE1m NPs nanoparticles restore TIPE1 expression, promote RAB7A ubiquitination and degradation, suppress autophagic flux, and resensitize paclitaxel‐resistant triple‐negative breast cancer to therapy. ABSTRACT Acquired paclitaxel (PTX) resistance remains a major obstacle in triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment.

Adeno‐associated virus serotype 2 capsid variants for improved liver‐directed gene therapy

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Current liver‐directed gene therapies look for adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors with improved efficacy. With this background, capsid engineering is explored. Whereas shuffled capsid library screenings have resulted in potent liver targeting variants with one first vector in human clinical trials, modifying natural ...
