    Abstract Objective: In this retrospective pharmacovigilance study, we gathered data on drug-induced posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Our goal was to identify the primary suspect drugs in PRES by analyzing the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS) database.
    Methods: We identified and analyzed reports of PRES listed in the FAERS database between 2004 and 2021. Using the reporting odds ratio and 95% confidence interval, we evaluated the safety signals for each of the drugs associated with PRES.
    Results: We reviewed 11,077 reports of adverse events corresponding to PRES. The primary suspect drug categories were antineoplastics, immunosuppressants, and glucocorticoids. PRES was 24.77% more likely to occur in females than in males. Drug-induced PRES usually occurs in individuals with cancer, those who have undergone an organ/stem cell transplant, and those with autoimmune conditions.
    Conclusion: Our results show that the drugs most commonly suspected to cause PRES were antineoplastics, immunosuppressants, and glucocorticoids. Future studies are needed to illuminate the pathophysiological alterations that underlie PRES. In the meantime, prescribers and patients should be made aware of the potential risks of PRES associated with pharmaceutical therapy, and the summaries of product characteristics for individual drugs should be updated to include this information.

    Abstract Despite being the predominant genetic elements in mammalian genomes, retrotransposons were often dismissed as genomic parasites with ambiguous biological significance. However, recent studies reveal their functional involvement in early embryogenesis, encompassing crucial processes such as zygotic genome activation (ZGA) and cell fate decision. This review underscores the paradigm shift in our understanding of retrotransposon roles during early preimplantation development, as well as their rich functional reservoir that is exploited by the host to provide cis-regulatory elements, noncoding RNAs, and functional proteins. The rapid advancement in long-read sequencing, low input multiomics profiling, advanced in vitro systems, and precise gene editing techniques encourages further dissection of retrotransposon functions that were once obscured by the intricacies of their genomic footprints.

    Abstract Axonal connections between the two sides of the brain are essential for processing sensorimotor functions, especially in animals with bilateral symmetry. The anterior commissure and postoptic commissure are two crucial axonal projections that develop early in the zebrafish central nervous system. In this study, we characterized the function of collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2) and CRMP4 in patterning the development of the anterior and postoptic commissures by analyzing morpholino-knockdown zebrafish morphants and CRISPR/Cas9-edited gene-knockout mutants. We observed a loss of commissural structures or a significant reduction in axon bundles connecting the two hemispheres, but the defects could be largely recovered by co-injecting CRMP2 or CRMP4 mRNA. Loss of both CRMP2 and CRMP4 function resulted in a synergistic increase in the number of commissural defects. To elucidate the mechanism by which CRMP2 and CRMP4 provide guidance cues for the development of the anterior and postoptic commissures, we included neuropilin 1a (Nrp1a) morphants and double morphants (CRMP2/Nrp1a and CRMP4/Nrp1a) for analysis. Our experimental results indicated that CRMP2 and CRMP4 might mediate their activities through the common semaphorin 3/Nrp1a signaling pathway.

    Abstract The novel coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. As of August 2021, more than 200 million people have been infected with the virus and 4.3 million have lost their lives. Various monoclonal antibodies of human origin that neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 infection have been isolated from convalescent patients for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. Several vaccines have been developed to restrict the spread of the virus and have been rapidly administered. However, the rollout of vaccines has coincided with the spread of variants of concern. Emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 present new challenges for therapeutic antibodies and threaten the efficacy of current vaccines. Here, we review the problems faced by neutralizing antibodies and vaccines in the midst of the increasing spread of mutant viruses.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to mine and compare the positive signals of adverse drug events (ADE) in paclitaxel, docetaxel, and nab-paclitaxel to evaluate the accuracy of current drug package information inserts and enable clinicians to select the appropriate treatment.
    Research design and methods: ADE data reported from January 2006 to December 2020 were extracted from the Food and Drug Adverse Drug Events Reporting System (FAERS) database, and the reporting odds ratio (ROR) was used to detect the risk signals of the 3 taxanes. The definition relied on system organ class (SOCs) and preferred terms (PTs) by the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA).
    Results: A total of 39,163 case reports on paclitaxel, docetaxel and nab-paclitaxel involving 25 different system organ classes (SOCs) were retrieved from the database. The ADE paclitaxel and nab-paclitaxel reports mainly focused on 'general disorders and administration site conditions' and the docetaxel ADE reports focused on 'skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases.' Among the three taxanes, nab-paclitaxel had the highest positive signal for serious adverse events.
    Conclusions: Overall, the most common ADE signals and ADE mapping systems obtained in this study were consistent with the package inserts. However, some inconsistencies were noted. Further research is recommended to confirm some of the strong risk signals for ADEs for taxanes before updating the drug package information inserts.

    Abstract Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic parasites that propagate within the host genome and introduce mutations. Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the major TE class, which occupies nearly 20% of the mouse genome. L1 is highly active in mammalian preimplantation embryos, posing a major threat to genome integrity, but the mechanism of stage-specific protection against L1 retrotransposition is unknown. Here, we show that TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), mutations in which constitute a major risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, inhibits L1 retrotransposition in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and preimplantation embryos. Knockdown of TDP-43 resulted in massive genomic L1 expansion and impaired cell growth in preimplantation embryos and ESCs. Functional analysis demonstrated that TDP-43 interacts with L1 open reading frame 1 protein (L1 ORF1p) to mediate genomic protection, and loss of this interaction led to derepression of L1 retrotransposition. Our results identify TDP-43 as a guardian of the embryonic genome.

    Abstract Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is a critical postfertilization step that promotes totipotency and allows different cell fates to emerge in the developing embryo. MERVL (murine endogenous retrovirus-L) is transiently upregulated at the two-cell stage during ZGA. Although MERVL expression is widely used as a marker of totipotency, the role of this retrotransposon in mouse embryogenesis remains elusive. Here, we show that full-length MERVL transcripts, but not encoded retroviral proteins, are essential for accurate regulation of the host transcriptome and chromatin state during preimplantation development. Both knockdown and CRISPRi-based repression of MERVL result in embryonic lethality due to defects in differentiation and genomic stability. Furthermore, transcriptome and epigenome analysis revealed that loss of MERVL transcripts led to retention of an accessible chromatin state at, and aberrant expression of, a subset of two-cell-specific genes. Taken together, our results suggest a model in which an endogenous retrovirus plays a key role in regulating host cell fate potential.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has developed into a global pandemic since its first outbreak in the winter of 2019. An extensive investigation of SARS-CoV-2 is critical for disease control. Various recombinant monoclonal antibodies of human origin that neutralize SARS-CoV-2 infection have been isolated from convalescent patients and will be applied as therapies and prophylaxis. However, the need for dedicated monoclonal antibodies suitable for molecular pathology research is not fully addressed. Here, we produced six mouse anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike monoclonal antibodies that not only exhibit robust performance in immunoassays including western blotting, ELISA, immunofluorescence, and immunoprecipitation, but also demonstrate neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 infection to VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells. Due to their mouse origin, our monoclonal antibodies are compatible with the experimental immunoassay setups commonly used in basic molecular biology research laboratories, providing a useful tool for future research. Furthermore, in the hope of applying the antibodies of clinical setting, we determined the variable regions of the antibodies and used them to produce recombinant human/mouse chimeric antibodies.

    Abstract Yulangsan flavone (YLSF) was extracted from the root of Millettia pulchra Kurz var-laxior (Dunn) Z. Wei, which has been widely used for liver disease treatment in the Guangxi province of China.The study was conducted to demonstrate the hepatoprotective effects of YLSF against CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats, meanwhile revealing the potential mechanism.Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats of both sexes were randomly divided into two groups: hepatic fibrosis group and normal control (NC) group. The rats in the hepatic fibrosis group were given 1 ml/kg 50% CCl4 (1:1 mixed with peanut oil), while those in the NC group were given 1 ml/kg normal saline (NS), both via intragastric administration. The established experimental rat model from the hepatic fibrosis group was confirmed by pathological inspection and randomly divided into five groups: three YLSF groups (20 mg/kg, 40 mg/kg and 80 mg/kg), a colchicine group (0.20 mg/kg) and a model group (10 ml/kg NS). All rats were treated with corresponding drugs or NS once a day for four consecutive weeks. Twenty-four hours after the last administration, blood serum and hepatic tissue were collected.The activities of ALT and AST in the serum and the levels of SOD, MDA, GSH and GSH-Px in hepatic tissue were analysed, the indexes of liver, spleen and thymus were counted, the degree of hepatic injury was examined using HE and Masson staining, and the mRNA expression of Col-1, TIMP-1 and TGF-β1 in hepatic tissues was detected.Compared with the model group, experimental results showed that YLSF and colchicine could reduce the levels of AST, ALT and MDA, increase the levels of SOD, GSH and GSH-Px, enhance rat survivability, decrease the liver, spleen and thymus index, significantly lessen collagen deposition and tissue damage and down-regulate the mRNA expression of Col-1, TIMP-1 and TGF-β1.Our findings confirm that YLSF has a certain curative effect on rats with liver fibrosis induced by CCl4, and its mechanism may include attenuating free radicals, inhibiting lipid peroxidation and accelerating extracellular matrix degradation by down-regulating expression of related genes.
