In summary, these findings indicate that PPV could induce SLCs apoptosis and a decrease of progesterone production in vivo and in vitro via p38 MAPK signaling and p53-dependent mitochondrial pathway, which provides the potential clinical therapy methods for PPV infection.
Infection with a recombinant parvovirus vector carrying the luciferase gene under control of parvovirus promoter P38 led to higher transgene activities in hepatoma cells than in the hepatocytes.
We report the use of a HeLa whole cell extract (WCE) runoff transcription system for the study of cis- and trans-acting elements, participating in the regulation of transcription initiation from the P38 promoter of the parvovirus minute virus of mice (MVM).
