DNA-PKcs and PARP1 at the interface between DNA damage responses and cGAS-STING signaling: context-dependent roles and therapeutic implications.

AIMS: To explore the roles of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) in both the DNA damage repair (DDR) pathway and the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway mediated immune response, and to analyze the therapeutic potential of their inhibitors. METHODS: This is a review article synthesizing recent findings on the functions of DNA-PKcs and PARP1 in DDR, their context-dependent effects on the cGAS-STING pathway and the therapeutic mechanisms of their inhibitors. RESULTS: DNA-PKcs and PARP1 are key components of two major DDR mechanisms. Beyond their canonical repair functions, both factors significantly regulate the cGAS-STING pathway, a central mediator linking cytoplasmic DNA and the type I interferon response. CONCLUSION: DNA-PKcs and PARP1 connect genome maintenance with innate immune signaling through context-dependent mechanisms. Targeting these proteins represents a promising strategy for modulating cGAS-STING signaling and improving disease treatment.

Pan-cancer single-cell atlas of immunotherapy response identifies ZNF385A as a regulator of immune evasion in small cell lung cancer.

Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment landscape of solid tumors, response rates in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) remain limited, and acquired resistance is highly prevalent. The underlying mechanisms of this immunotherapy resistance remain to be fully elucidated. Clinically, SCLC typically manifests as an "immune-cold" tumor, characterized by a low abundance of CD8+ T cell infiltration and the rare formation of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS). While DNA damage repair (DDR) is closely linked to innate immune responses, how DDR networks orchestrate the SCLC immune microenvironment remains obscure. In this study, we integrated single-cell transcriptomic data (comprising 344,447 high-quality cells) from six cancer types (BCC, CRC, HCC, HNSCC, iCCA, and SCLC). Our comparative analysis revealed a fundamental depletion of TLS-associated cellular subpopulations (e.g., CXCL13+ CD8+ T cells, HLA-DRB5+ B cells, and CXCL9+ dendritic cells) in SCLC, which was significantly correlated with aberrant DDR activity. Through high-dimensional weighted gene co-expression network analysis (hdWGCNA), we identified ZNF385A as the core hub gene within the DDR-associated module. ZNF385A is highly expressed in SCLC and is associated with poorer prognosis. In vitro, ZNF385A depletion suppressed SCLC cell proliferation and induced apoptosis, accompanied by R-loop accumulation and activation of cGAS-STING signaling, indicating a potential link between ZNF385A, genomic stability and tumor-intrinsic innate immune signaling. Collectively, these findings identify ZNF385A as a potential regulator associated with TLS deficiency and immune evasion in SCLC.

R-loops and D-loops: a delicate balance in genomic stability and instability.

R-loops and D-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures that have emerged as central regulators of genome stability, gene expression, and DNA metabolism. R-loops form co-transcriptionally or post-transcriptionally when nascent RNA re-anneals with the template DNA strand, generating an RNA: DNA hybrid that displaces the non-template strand into a single-stranded state. These structures are enriched at CpG island promoters, transcription termination sites, and immunoglobulin class-switch regions, where they coordinate transcription regulation, chromatin remodeling, and DNA damage signaling. D-loops are formed when a single-stranded DNA segment pairs with one strand of a duplex and displaces the other, arising through context-dependent mechanisms that include RAD51- or DMC1-mediated strand invasion in homologous recombination, shelterin-assisted invasion at telomeres, and replication-coupled strand displacement at the mitochondrial DNA origin. They serve as indispensable intermediates in double-strand break repair, telomere maintenance, and mitochondrial DNA replication. Recent cryo-electron microscopy studies have resolved the stepwise RAD51-mediated strand exchange mechanism at near-atomic resolution, substantially advancing structural understanding of D-loop biogenesis. Despite their differences in molecular composition, both structures remodel Watson-Crick base pairing and, when dysregulated, are associated with replication fork stalling, transcription-replication conflicts, and aberrant recombination. This review systematically compares the structural features, formation mechanisms, regulatory networks, and biological functions of R-loops and D-loops, with emphasis on their convergent roles in safeguarding genome integrity. We further discuss rapidly evolving detection technologies and emerging therapeutic strategies targeting these structures in cancer and neurodegeneration, identifying key unresolved questions for future investigation.

Effects of shear stress on 3-D human mesenchymal stem cell construct development in a perfusion bioreactor system: Experiments and hydrodynamic modeling.

Shear stress is an important biomechanical parameter in regulating human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) construct development. In this study, the biomechanical characteristics of hMSCs within highly porous 3-D poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) matrices in a perfusion bioreactor system were analyzed for two flow rates of 0.1 and 1.5 mL/min, respectively over a 20-day culture period. A 1.4 times higher proliferation rate, higher CFU-F formation, and more fibronectin and HSP-47 secretion at day 20 were observed at the flow rate of 0.1 mL/min compared to those at the flow rate of 1.5 mL/min. The higher flow rate of 1.5 mL/min upregulated osteogenic differentiation potential at day 20 as measured by the expression of alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium deposition in the matrix after 14 days osteogenic induction, consistent with those reported in literatures. Mathematical modeling indicated that shear stress existed in the range of 1 x 10(-5) to 1 x 10(-4) Pa in the constructs up to a depth of 70 microm due to flow penetration in the porous constructs. Analysis of oxygen transport in the constructs for the two flow rates yielded oxygen levels significantly higher than those at which cell growth and metabolism are affected (Jiang et al., 1996). This indicates that differences in convective transport have no significant influence on cell growth and metabolism for the range of flow rates studied. These results demonstrate that shear stress is an important microenvironment parameter that regulates hMSC construct development at a range significantly lower than those reported previously in the perfusion system.

Investigation on the transition crystal of ordinary rutile TiO2 powder by microwave irradiation in hydrogen peroxide solution and its sonocatalytic activity.

The transition crystal TiO(2) catalyst with high sonocatalytic activity was obtained utilizing the microwave irradiation in hydrogen peroxide solution. At the same time a series of affecting factors (microwave irradiation time, heat-treated time and heat-treated temperature) to prepare the TiO(2) catalyst on the sonocatalytic degradation of parathion were considered in this paper. The ultrasound of low power was used as an irradiation source to induce treated TiO(2) particles to perform catalytic activity. The results show that the sonocatalytic activity of the transition crystal TiO(2) powder is obviously higher than those of pure ordinary rutile and anatase TiO(2) powders. At last, the parathion in aqueous solution was degraded completely and became some simple inorganic ions such as NO(3)(-), PO(4)(3-), SO(4)(2-), etc. The degradation ratio of parathion in the presence of the transition crystal TiO(2) catalyst attains nearly 80% within 60 min ultrasonic irradiation, while corresponding ones are only 65.23% and 53.88%, respectively, for pure ordinary rutile and anatase TiO(2) powders.

Investigation on the sonocatalytic degradation of acid red B in the presence of nanometer TiO2 catalysts and comparison of catalytic activities of anatase and rutile TiO2 powders.

Here, the nanometer anatase and rutile titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) powders were introduced to act as the sonocatalysts during the ultrasonic degradation of azo dye-acid red B which was chosen as model compound. The ultrasound of low power was used as an irradiation source to induce TiO(2) particles performing catalytic activity. It was found that the processes of sonocatalytic degradation were different between nanometer anatase TiO(2) and nanometer rutile TiO(2). For nanometer anatase TiO(2) catalyst, the acid red B was mainly oxidated by the holes on the surface of nanometer anatase TiO(2) particles, so that the decolorization and degradation happened at the same time. For the nanometer rutile TiO(2) catalyst, the acid red B was mainly oxidated by the *OH radicals from the ultrasonic cavitation, so that the decolorization of azo bond takes place primarily, and then the degradation of naphthyl ring does. The intermediates of acid red B in the presence of nanometer anatase and rutile TiO(2) powders have been monitored by UV-vis spectra and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively. All experiments indicated that the degradation effect of acid red B in the presence of nanometer anatase TiO(2) powder was obviously better than that in the presence of nanometer rutile TiO(2) powder. Hence, the method of sonocatalytic degradation for organic pollutants in the presence of nanometer anatase TiO(2) powder is expected to be promising as an advisable choice for the treatment of organic wastewaters in future.

Investigation on transition crystal of ordinary rutile TiO2 powder and its sonocatalytic activity.

The transition crystal TiO(2) sonocatalyst was prepared utilizing the method of ultrasonic irradiation in hydrogen peroxide solution. The sonocatalytic activity of the transition crystal TiO(2) powder was validated through the degradation of methyl orange in aqueous solution by ultrasonic irradiation. The results show that the sonocatalytic activity of the transition crystal TiO(2) powder is obviously higher than that of pure rutile and anatase TiO(2) powders as well as mixed rutile and anatase TiO(2) powders according to the proportion of corresponding transition crystal TiO(2) catalyst. The degradation ratio of methyl orange in the presence of the transition crystal TiO(2) catalyst surpasses 75% within 80 min ultrasonic irradiation, while the degradation ratios are 55.93%, 51.68% and 40.88%, respectively, for rutile, mixed and anatase TiO(2) powders.

Investigation on the sonocatalytic degradation of parathion in the presence of nanometer rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) catalyst.

The nanometer rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) powder was adopted to act as the sonocatalyst after treatment of high-temperature activation and the ultrasound of low power was used as an irradiation source to induce heat-treated TiO2 powder performing sonocatalytic degradation of parathion. Although there are many factors influencing sonocatalytic degradation of parathion, the experimental results demonstrate that the optimal degradation condition of parathion can be obtained when the experimental conditions such as initial concentration of 50 mg/L parathion, addition amount of 1000 mg/L nanometer rutile TiO2, ultrasonic of 30-50 kHz frequency and 50 W output power, acidity of pH 10.0 and temperature of 20 degrees C are adopted. The degradation ratio of parathion surpassed 90% within 120 min ultrasonic irradiation in these optimal experiment conditions. The total degradation process of parathion has been monitored by UV-vis spectra and ion chromatography. At last, the parathions in aqueous solution are completely degraded and become some simple inorganic ions such as NO3(-), PO4(3-), SO4(2-), etc. In addition, the sonocatalytic activities of reused TiO2 catalysts were also studied and found to decline gradually along with the reused times. In this paper, the research on sonocatalytic degradation kinetics was also been performed and found to follow pseudo first-order reaction. All experiments indicated that the sonocatalytic method in the presence of nanometer rutile TiO2 powder was an advisable choice for the treatments of non- or low-transparent organic wastewaters in future.

Sonocatalytic degradation of methyl parathion in the presence of nanometer and ordinary anatase titanium dioxide catalysts and comparison of their sonocatalytic abilities.

The degradation of methyl parathion (O,O-dimethyl-O-(4-nitrophenyl)-phosphorothioate) using anatase titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) powder as heterogeneous sonocatalysts is reported. The influences of reaction parameters such as the species of TiO(2) sonocatalysts, methyl parathion concentrations, TiO(2) adding amount, pH, ultrasonic intensity, ultrasonic frequency and temperature have been investigated and the optimal conditions for eliminating methyl parathion have been identified. The efficiencies of sonocatalytic degradation in both nanometer and ordinary anatase systems are compared and the results indicate that the sonocatalytic activity of nanometer anatase TiO(2) powder is better than that of ordinary anatase TiO(2) powder. The primary degradation and the total mineralization of methyl parathion have been monitored by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UV-vis spectra, respectively. Methyl parathion got destroyed to some extent in both nanometer and ordinary anatase systems under ultrasonic irradiation. The kinetics for the degradation process of methyl parathion follows the first-order reaction. The degradation ratio of methyl parathion surpassed 90% within 50min in the optimal experiment conditions.

Effects of hypoxia on human mesenchymal stem cell expansion and plasticity in 3D constructs.

Low oxygen tension is thought to be an integral component of the human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) native bone marrow microenvironment. HMSC were cultured under physiologically relevant oxygen environments (2% O2) in three-dimensional (3D) constructs for up to 1 month in order to investigate the combined effects of chronic hypoxia and 3D architecture on hMSC tissue-development patterns. Hypoxic hMSC exhibited an extended lag phase in order to acclimatize to culture conditions. However, they subsequently proliferated continuously throughout the culture period, while maintaining significantly higher colony-forming unit capabilities and expressing higher levels of stem cell genes than hMSC cultured at 20% O2 (normoxic) conditions. Upon induction, hypoxic hMSC also expressed higher levels of osteoblastic and adipocytic differentiation markers than normoxic controls. Hypoxia induced increased total protein levels in hMSC throughout the culture period, as well as significantly different fibronectin expression patterns suggesting that oxygen levels can significantly affect tissue-development patterns. Importantly, hMSC maintained the ability to thrive in prolonged hypoxic conditions suggesting that hypoxia may be an essential element of the in vivo hMSC niche. Further studies are required to determine how variations in cellular characteristics and ECM expression impact on the physiological properties of the engineered tissue, yet these results strongly indicate that oxygen tension is a key parameter that influences the in vitro characteristics of hMSC and their development into tissues.

Effects of hydroxyapatite in 3-D chitosan-gelatin polymer network on human mesenchymal stem cell construct development.

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have great potential in bone tissue engineering, and hydroxyapatite (HA), a natural component of human hard tissues, is believed to support hMSC growth and osteogenic differentiation. In this study, two types of biomimetic composite materials, chitosan-gelatin (CG) and hydroxyapatite/chitosan-gelatin (HCG), were fabricated and compared to examine the effects of HA on hMSC adhesion and 3-D construct development. The 2-D membranes were prepared to examine the influence of HA on adhesion efficiency of hMSCs, while 3-D porous scaffolds were produced to investigate the effects of HA on material adsorption properties and 3-D hMSC construct development. HA was found to promote protein and calcium ion adsorption of the 3-D porous scaffolds in the complete tissue culture media. HMSCs exhibited higher initial cell adhesion efficiency to 2-D HCG membranes, and maintained higher proliferation rates in the 3-D porous HCG than CG scaffolds with 3.3 times higher final DNA amount in HCG scaffolds over a 35-day period. Colony forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) assays showed that higher percentages of cells maintained their progenicity in the 3-D porous HCG scaffolds over the 35-day culture period. Differentiation assays indicated that the multi-lineage differentiation potential of the hMSCs was preserved in both 3-D porous scaffolds. However, higher alkaline phosphate activity was detected in the 3-D porous HCG scaffolds upon osteogenic induction indicating improved osteogenic differentiation potential. The results demonstrate that enhanced protein and calcium ion adsorption properties of HA in the CG polymer network improve initial cell adhesion and long-term growth, favor osteogenic differentiation upon induction, as well as maintain the progenicity of the 3-D hMSC constructs.

Perfusion bioreactor system for human mesenchymal stem cell tissue engineering: dynamic cell seeding and construct development.

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have great potential for therapeutic applications. A bioreactor system that supports long-term hMSCs growth and three-dimensional (3-D) tissue formation is an important technology for hMSC tissue engineering. A 3-D perfusion bioreactor system was designed using non-woven poly (ethylene terepthalate) (PET) fibrous matrices as scaffolds. The main features of the perfusion bioreactor system are its modular design and integrated seeding operation. Modular design of the bioreactor system allows the growth of multiple engineered tissue constructs and provides flexibility in harvesting the constructs at different time points. In this study, four chambers with three matrices in each were utilized for hMSC construct development. The dynamic depth filtration seeding operation is incorporated in the system by perfusing cell suspensions perpendicularly through the PET matrices, achieving a maximum seeding efficiency of 68%, and the operation effectively reduced the complexity of operation and the risk of contamination. Statistical analyses suggest that the cells are uniformly distributed in the matrices. After seeding, long-term construct cultivation was conducted by perfusing the media around the constructs from both sides of the matrices. Compared to the static cultures, a significantly higher cell density of 4.22 x 10(7) cell/mL was reached over a 40-day culture period. Cellular constructs at different positions in the flow chamber have statistically identical cell densities over the culture period. After expansion, the cells in the construct maintained the potential to differentiate into osteoblastic and adipogenic lineages at high cell density. The perfusion bioreactor system is amenable to multiple tissue engineered construct production, uniform tissue development, and yet is simple to operate and can be scaled up for potential clinical use. The results also demonstrate that the multi-lineage differentiation potential of hMSCs are preserved even after extensive expansion, thus indicating the potential of hMSCs for functional tissue construct development. The system has important applications in stem cell tissue engineering.

Role of nutrient supply on cell growth in bioreactor design for tissue engineering of hematopoietic cells.

In the present study, a dynamic mathematical model for the growth of granulocyte progenitor cells in the hematopoietic process is developed based on the principles of diffusion and chemical reaction. This model simulates granulocyte progenitor cell growth and oxygen consumption in a three-dimensional (3-D) perfusion bioreactor. Material balances on cells are coupled to the nutrient balances in 3-D matrices to determine the effects of transport limitations on cell growth. The method of volume averaging is used to formulate the material balances for the cells and the nutrients in the porous matrix containing the cells. All model parameters are obtained from the literature. The maximum cell volume fraction reached when oxygen is depleted in the cell layer at 15 days and is nearly 0.63, corresponding to a cell density of 2.25 x 10(8) cells/mL. The substrate inhibition kinetics for cell growth lead to complex effects with respect to the roles of oxygen concentration and supply by convection and diffusion on cell growth. Variation in the height of the liquid layer above the cell matrix where nutrient supply is introduced affected the relative and absolute amounts of oxygen supply by hydrodynamic flow and by diffusion across a gas permeable FEP membrane. Mass transfer restrictions of the FEP membrane are considerable, and the supply of oxygen by convection is essential to achieve higher levels of cell growth. A maximum growth rate occurs at a specific flow rate. For flow rates higher than this optimal, the high oxygen concentration led to growth inhibition and for lower flow rates growth limitations occur due to insufficient oxygen supply. Because of the nonlinear effects of the autocatalytic substrate inhibition growth kinetics coupled to the convective transport, the rate of growth at this optimal flow rate is higher than that in a corresponding well-mixed reactor where oxygen concentration is set at the maximum indicated by the inhibitory kinetics.

[Association of SNP276 in adiponectin gene with type 2 diabetes mellitus and insulin sensitivity].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the distribution of SNP276 in adiponectin gene in Chinese Hans and its impact on type 2 diabetes mellitus and insulin sensitivity. METHODS: The study population consisted of 417 Chinese Hans residents in Anhui province, including 141 subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and 276 with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The islet beta-cell insulin secretion and tissue insulin sensitivity were assessed by formulae of homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR & HOMA beta). Firstly, polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) was used to determine whether variation exists in APM1. Then, exact variation was detected by automated DNA direct sequencing. RESULTS: The genotypes of APM1 SNP276 were 0.489 GG, 0.418 GT and 0.092 TT and the major allele was G (frequency=0.699) in subjects with NGT. The distributions of genotypes and alleles of SNP276 both displayed significant difference between NGT and T2DM groups (P=0.031 and 0.013). The SNP276 non-TT (TG+GG) genotype was associated with increased risk of T2DM (OR=2.447, 95%CI: 1.067-5.612, P=0.035). In T2DM group, the subjects with SNP276 GG or GT genotype had higher body mass index, body fat content, fasting plasma glucose and HOMA-IR than did those with TT genotype (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Besides, GG genotype had higher systolic blood pressure (P=0.021). In NGT group, SNP276 non-TT carrier had increased body mass index, body fat content, waist hip ratio, fasting plasma insulin, oral glucose tolerance test 2 h plasma insulin and HOMA-IR when compared with TT genotype (P < 0.05 or 0.01). CONCLUSION: SNP276 in APM1 was associated with T2DM and insulin sensitivity.

Human mesenchymal stem cells tissue development in 3D PET matrices.

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are attractive cell sources for engineered tissue constructs with broad therapeutic potential. Three-dimensional (3D) hMSC tissue development in nonwoven poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibrous matrices was investigated. HMSCs were seeded onto 3D PET scaffolds and were cultured for over 1 month. Their proliferation rates were affected by seeding density but remained much lower than those of 2D controls. Compared to 2D surfaces, hMSCs grown in 3D scaffolds secreted and embedded themselves in an extensive ECM network composed of collagen I, collagen IV, fibronectin, and laminin. HMSCs were influenced by the orientation of adjacent PET fibers to organize the ECM proteins into highly aligned fibrils. We observed the increased expressions of alpha(2)beta(1) integrin but a slight decrease in the expression of alpha(5)beta(1) integrin in 3D compared to 2D culture and found that alpha(V)beta(3) was expressed only in 2D. Paxillin expression was down-regulated in 3D culture with a concomitant change in its localization patterns. We demonstrated the multi-lineage potentials of the 3D tissue constructs by differentiating the cells grown in the scaffolds into osteoblasts and adipocytes. Taken together, these results showed that hMSCs grown in 3D scaffolds display tissue development patterns distinct from their 2D counterparts and provide important clues for designing 3D scaffolds for developing tissue engineered constructs.

Effects of oxygen transport on 3-d human mesenchymal stem cell metabolic activity in perfusion and static cultures: experiments and mathematical model.

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have unique potential to develop into functional tissue constructs to replace a wide range of tissues damaged by disease or injury. While recent studies have highlighted the necessity for 3-D culture systems to facilitate the proper biological, physiological, and developmental processes of the cells, the effects of the physiological environment on the intrinsic tissue development characteristics in the 3-D scaffolds have not been fully investigated. In this study, experimental results from a 3-D perfusion bioreactor system and the static culture are combined with a mathematical model to assess the effects of oxygen transport on hMSC metabolism and proliferation in 3-D constructs grown in static and perfusion conditions. Cells grown in the perfusion culture had order of magnitude higher metabolic rates, and the perfusion culture supports higher cell density at the end of cultivation. The specific oxygen consumption rate for the constructs in the perfusion bioreactor was found to decrease from 0.012 to 0.0017 micromol/10(6) cells/h as cell density increases, suggesting intrinsic physiological change at high cell density. BrdU staining revealed the noneven spatial distribution of the proliferating cells in the constructs grown under static culture conditions compared to the cells that were grown in the perfusion system. The hypothesis that the constructs in static culture grow under oxygen limitation is supported by higher Y(L/G) in static culture. Modeling results show that the oxygen tension in the static culture is lower than that of the perfusion unit, where the cell density was 4 times higher. The experimental and modeling results show the dependence of cell metabolism and spatial growth patterns on the culture environment and highlight the need to optimize the culture parameters in hMSC tissue engineering.
