Exportin-1 (XPO1) controls the nucleo-cytoplasmic trafficking of several key growth regulatory and tumor suppressor proteins. Nuclear export blockade through XPO1 inhibition is a target for therapeutic in many cancers. Studies have suggested upregulation as an indicator poor prognosis gastric cancer. In current study, we investigated anti-tumor efficacy selective inhibitors nuclear (SINE) compounds KPT-185, KTP-276 clinical stage selinexor (KPT-330) was found to be overexpressed cancer...

Swine are a primary source for the emergence of pandemic influenza A viruses. The intensification swine production, along with global trade, has amplified transmission and zoonotic risk virus (swIAV). Effective surveillance is essential to uncover emerging strains; however gaps remain in our understanding swIAV genomic landscape Southeast Asia. More than 4,000 nasal swabs were collected from pigs Cambodia, yielding 72 IAV-positive samples by RT-qPCR 45 sequences. We unmasked cocirculation...

Gastric cancer (GC) is the second leading cause of global mortality worldwide. However, molecular mechanism underlying its carcinogenesis and drug resistance not well understood. To identify novel functionally important genes that were differentially expressed due to combinations genetic epigenetic changes, we analyzed datasets containing genome-wide mRNA expression, DNA copy number alterations methylation status from 154 primary GC samples 47 matched non-neoplastic mucosa tissues Asian...

: F-box/WD repeat-containing protein 5 (FBXW5) is a member of the FBXW subclass F-box proteins. Despite its known function as component Skp1-Cullin-F-box (SCF) ubiquitin ligase complex, role FBXW5 in gastric cancer tumorigenesis and metastasis has not been investigated. The present study investigates metastasis, well regulation key signaling pathways cancer; using in-vitro knockdown/overexpression cell line in-vivo models. In-vitro knockdown results decrease proliferation cycle progression,...

The highly pathogenic (HPAI) avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses have undergone reassortment with multiple non-N1-subtype neuraminidase genes since 2008, leading to the emergence of H5Nx viruses. established themselves quickly in birds and disseminated from China Africa, Middle East, Europe North America. Multiple genetic clades successively evolved through frequent mutations reassortment, posing a continuous threat domestic poultry causing substantial economic losses. Live bird markets are...

Abstract The recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus in North and South America, including widespread infection cattle the United States, calls for an urgent assessment host range A viruses, particularly subtypes pandemic concern. We conducted a serological survey binding antibodies to B viruses goats (n=452) sheep (n=329) Pakistan found high seropositive rates hemagglutinin (HA) (AIV) H5 (23.9–34.0%), H7 (13.9– 37.1%), H9 (17.0–34.7%). In contrast, there were low...

Bats are the reservoir for numerous human pathogens, including coronaviruses. Despite many coronaviruses having descended from bat ancestors, little is known about virus-host interactions and broader evolutionary history involving bats. Studies have largely focused on zoonotic potential of with few infection experiments conducted in cells. To determine genetic changes derived replication cells possibly identify novel pathways virus emergence, we serially passaged six 229E isolates a newly...

Hepatitis caused by mouse hepatitis virus (MHV-A59), a murine coronavirus, is accompanied direct infection and replication of within the liver. We demonstrate here that aminoglycoside hygromycin B able to eliminate MHV-A59 from peritoneal macrophages cultured liver cells in vitro also reduce levels necrotic foci vivo.

Infection of mouse L-2 fibroblasts with hepatitis virus (MHV) results in strong inhibition host cell protein synthesis. Since it has been suggested other systems that translational control is modulated by changes the intracellular ionic environment, we investigated possible occurrence similar during MHV infection. Membrane permeability to extracellular sodium ions was measured culturing MHV-infected cells presence 22Na+. Sodium influx into rose dramatically from 4 6 h post-infection. This...

SUMMARY The expression of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) E2-specific mRNA, the E2 polypeptide and its associated cell fusing activity was monitored in various types inoculated with a recombinant vaccinia virus, designated vMS containing gene. results suggest that host permissiveness to MHV infection correlates cellular susceptibility membrane fusion mediated by glycoprotein. In addition, we utilized genetic approach analysis functions involved determining MHV. By using chemical mutagen ethyl...

SUMMARY The relatively cell impermeable hygromycin B was found to inhibit viral but not cellular protein synthesis when added cultures of murine hepatitis virus (MHV)-infected or mock-infected mouse L-2 fibroblasts. Membrane permeability, as judged by influx sodium ions, has previously been demonstrated be an MHV E2 glycoprotein-mediated, cytopathic effect infection in cells. It is therefore likely that the selective on a reflection increased drug penetration into virus-infected Using marker...

Abstract Gemcitabine is an anticancer agent used in breast, non-small cell lung, pancreatic and ovarian cancer. However, many cancers have been showed to be resistant gemcitabine. Recent studies demonstrated that gemcitabine resistance can overcome when combined with gossypol. Gossypol inhibitor of Bcl-2 induces apoptosis various cancer lines. The aim our study was determine whether gossypol via its interaction the protein. IC50 gemcitabine, as well baseline expression were determined 10...
