RESUMO
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) was associated with high rates of cancer recurrence and metastasis and currently no available molecularly target. Accumulating evidences have established the importance of lincRNA-ROR as a marker of cancers. In order to better understand the mechanism of lincRNA-ROR in TNBC, we provided a novel molecular target into the regulatory invasion and metastasis in present research. We found that lincRNA-ROR was upregulated in TNBC cell lines and tissue samples. The aberrant expression of lincRNA-ROR was shown to increase invasion and metastasis in MDA-MB-231 and loss of function by siRNA reverse these process. Furthermore, lincRNA-ROR functions as a competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) which sponges miR-145 and therefore upregulate the expression of Mucin1 (MUC1). The expression of MUC1 impacted E-cadherin membrane localization. Together, MUC1 was a potential molecular target may help explain the role of lincRNA-ROR/miR-145 for invasion and metastasis in TNBC cell lines.

PFOS is a ubiquitous pollutant garnering considerable attention due to its deleterious effects on both human and animal health. Given the poultry industry's intimate link with human health, investigating PFOS's impact on quails is crucial. PFOS readily accumulates in the liver, causing hepatotoxicity, yet its molecular mechanisms remain elusive. In our study, we fed quail diets contaminated with varying PFOS concentrations (12.5, 25, and 50 mg/kg) and observed dose-dependent liver damage in quails. The results show that PFOS damages mitochondrial structure, increases ROS levels, and downregulates antioxidants to promote oxidative stress damage in hepatocytes. PFOS also upregulated pro-inflammatory molecules (TNF-α, IL-1ß, and IL-6) while downregulating the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10, activating the TLR4//MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby potentiating liver inflammation. Then, oxidative stress and inflammation by PFOS induce apoptosis in quail hepatocytes through the mitochondrial pathway, with severity closely related to hepatotoxicity. In conclusion, PFOS induces mitochondrial apoptosis by exacerbating oxidative stress and inflammation by activating the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway, ultimately leading to hepatotoxicity in quails.
RESUMO
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), a coronavirus, can cause acute diarrhea and dehydration in pigs. In the current study, two positive monoclonal cell lines (5D7 and 3H4) specific for PEDV were established, and the immunoreactivity of the monoclonal antibodies was confirmed by immunofluorescence and dot-immunobinding assays. A method, termed antigen capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (AC-ELISA), which used the monoclonal antibody 5D7 as the detecting antibody and rabbit antiserum of PEDV protein S as the capture antibody, was developed. Compared with the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction method of detecting PEDV in fecal samples, AC-ELISA showed similar sensitivity and specificity. These results suggested that AC-ELISA would be useful for the diagnosis and epidemiological studies of PEDV.
