    Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a primary cause of chronic liver diseases in humans. HBV infection exhibits strict host and tissue tropism. HBV core promoter (Cp) drives transcription of pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) and plays a key role in the viral life cycle. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α) acts as a major transcriptional factor that stimulates Cp. In this work, we reported that BEL7404 ​cell line displayed a high efficiency of DNA transfection and high levels of HBV antigen expression after transfection of HBV replicons without prominent viral replication. The introduction of exogenous HNF4α and human sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (hNTCP) expression into BEL7404 made it permissive for HBV replication and susceptible to HBV infection. BEL7404-derived cell lines with induced HBV permissiveness and susceptibility were constructed by stable co-transfection of hNTCP and Tet-inducible HNF4α followed by limiting dilution cloning. HBV replication in such cells was sensitive to inhibition by nucleotide analog tenofovir, while the infection was inhibited by HBV entry inhibitors. This cell culture system provides a new and additional tool for the study of HBV replication and infection as well as the characterization of antiviral agents.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel coronavirus causing acute respiratory tract infection in humans. The virus has the characteristics of rapid transmission, long incubation period and strong pathogenicity, and has spread all over the world. Therefore, it is of great significance to select appropriate animal models for antiviral drug development and therapeutic effect evaluation. Here, we review and compare the current animal models of SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract Background: NCI60 cell lines are derived from cancers of 9 tissue origins and have been invaluable in vitro models for cancer research and anti-cancer drug screen. Although extensive studies have been carried out to assess the molecular features of NCI60 cell lines related to cancer and their sensitivities to more than 100,000 chemical compounds, it remains unclear if and how well these cell lines represent or model their tumor tissues of origin. Identification and confirmation of correct origins of NCI60 cell lines are critical to their usage as model systems and to translate in vitro studies into clinical potentials. Here we report a direct comparison between NCI60 cell lines and primary tumors by analyzing global gene expression profiles.
    Results: Comparative analysis suggested that 51 of 59 cell lines we analyzed represent their presumed tumors of origin. Taking advantage of available clinical information of primary tumor samples used to generate gene expression profiling data, we further classified those cell lines with the correct origins into different subtypes of cancer or different stages in cancer development. For example, 6 of 7 non-small cell lung cancer cell lines were classified as lung adenocarcinomas and all of them were classified into late stages in tumor progression.
    Conclusion: Taken together, we developed and applied a novel approach for systematic comparative analysis and integrative classification of NCI60 cell lines and primary tumors. Our results could provide guidance to the selection of appropriate cell lines for cancer research and pharmaceutical compound screenings. Moreover, this gene expression profile based approach can be generally applied to evaluate experimental model systems such as cell lines and animal models for human diseases.

    Abstract Background: Liver cirrhosis is associated with increased intrahepatic resistance due to hepatic fibrosis and exaggerated vasoconstriction. Recent studies have indicated that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), in addition to acid suppression, modulate vasoactive substances and vasoresponsiveness. PPIs are frequently prescribed in patients with cirrhosis due to a higher prevalence of peptic ulcers, however other impacts are unknown.
    Methods: Liver cirrhosis was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats with common bile duct ligation (BDL). On the 29th day after BDL and after hemodynamic measurements, the intrahepatic vascular responsiveness to high concentrations of endothelin-1 (ET-1) was evaluated after preincubation with (1) Krebs solution (vehicle), (2) esomeprazole (30 μM), or (3) esomeprazole plus N
    Results: Esomeprazole did not affect hepatic ET-1 vasoresponsiveness. The hepatic protein expressions of the aforementioned factors were not significantly different among the groups. There were no significant differences in hemodynamics, liver biochemistry and hepatic fibrosis after chronic esomeprazole administration.
    Conclusion: PPIs did not affect hepatic vasoresponsiveness or the release of vasoactive substances. Furthermore, they did not influence hemodynamics, liver biochemistry or severity of hepatic fibrosis in the cirrhotic rats.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the effect of temperature dropping process in cold air on the coagulation function both in healthy and hypertensive rats.
    Methods: Twenty-four male healthy Wistar rats and 24 male spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) were randomly divided into the minimum temperature group (Tim), Tmin control group (Tmin-c), recovery temperature group (Tr) and Tr control group (Tr-c), With the simulated temperature dropping process of a cold air, collected from Zhangye city in March of 2011, the groups of Tmin and Tr were exposed to this process. Both at the Tmin and Tr, blood were collected from the rats for coagulation function measurements.
    Results: Compared with the control group, no significant difference was found in the results of activated partial thrombin time(APIT), pro-thrombin time (PF) and thrombin time (TT) between any groups in any strains (P > 0.05). The fibrinogen (Fbg) and fibrinogen-time were found to be obvious higher and shorter in Tmin and Tr of healthy rats and in Tmin of hypertensive rats in contrast to the control group. Hypertensive rats had higher level of fibrinogen and shorter level of fibrinogen-time.
    Conclusion: The temperature dropping process induced the increase of plasma Fbg both in the healthy and hypertensive subjects, which might be the reason to explain the higher occurrence of cardiovascular diseases event especially these activated through the formation of thrombin during cold air stress. Besides, the coagulation function of healthy subjects was more likely to be affected by cold air than the hypertensive subjects.

    Abstract Abstract Cdc7-Dbf4 kinase plays a key role in the initiation of DNA replication and contributes to the replication stress in cancer. The activity of human Cdc7-Dbf4 kinase remains active and acts as an effector of checkpoint under replication stress. However, the downstream targets of Cdc7-Dbf4 contributed to checkpoint regulation and replication stress-support function in cancer are not fully identified. In this work, we showed that aberrant Cdc7-Dbf4 induces DNA lesions that activate ATM/ATR-mediated checkpoint and homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair. Using a phosphoproteome approach, we identified HSP90-S164 as a target of Cdc7-Dbf4 in vitro and in vivo. The phosphorylation of HSP90-S164 by Cdc7-Dbf4 is required for the stability of HSP90-HCLK2-MRN complex and the function of ATM/ATR signaling cascade and HR DNA repair. In clinically, the phosphorylation of HSP90-S164 indeed is increased in oral cancer patients. Our results indicate that aberrant Cdc7-Dbf4 enhances replication stress tolerance by rewiring ATR/ATM mediated HR repair through HSP90-S164 phosphorylation and by promoting recovery from replication stress. We provide a new solution to a subtyping of cancer patients with dominant ATR/HSP90 expression by combining inhibitors of ATR-Chk1, HSP90, or Cdc7 in cancer combination therapy.
