Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common disease in young women of reproductive age, characterized by demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS). Understanding how genes related to MS are expressed during pregnancy can provide insights into the potential mechanisms by which pregnancy affects the course of this disease. This review article presents evidence-based studies on these patients' gene expression patterns. In addition, it constructs interaction networks using bioinformatics tools, such as STRING and KEGG pathways, to understand the molecular role of each of these genes. Bioinformatics research identified 25 genes and 21 signaling pathways, which allows us to understand pregnancy patients' genetic and biological phenomena and formulate new questions about MS during pregnancy.

Abstract
TGF-β activated kinase 1, a MAPK kinase kinase family serine threonine kinase has been implicated in regulating diverse range of cellular processes that include embryonic development, differentiation, autophagy, apoptosis and cell survival. TAK1 along with its binding partners TAB1, TAB2 and TAB3 displays a complex pattern of regulation that includes serious crosstalk with major signaling pathways including the C-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 MAPK, and I-kappa B kinase complex (IKK) involved in establishing cellular commitments for death and survival. This review also highlights how TAK1 orchestrates regulation of energy homeostasis via AMPK and its emerging role in influencing mTORC1 pathway to regulate death or survival in tandem.

Abstract
Hyperthermia induced by heat stress (HS) is known to inhibit proliferation and induce cell death in cancer. We previously demonstrated that checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) contributes to G2/M arrest and cell survival under HS; however, the role of Chk2, a functional analog of Chk1, in regulation of the cell cycle and cell death under HS is still unknown. Here, we addressed the role of Chk2 using Molt-4 cells with p53-targeted shRNA (Molt-4/shp53) and parental control cells (Molt-4/V). Chk2 inhibition suppressed C-terminal acetylation of p53 and delayed the induction of p53-target genes in Molt-4/V cells under HS; however, Chk2 inhibition failed to inhibit apoptosis induced by HS, indicating that Chk2 was dispensable for p53-dependent apoptosis under HS. In contrast, Chk2 inhibition abrogated G2/M arrest and promoted cell death induced by HS in HeLa cells and Molt-4/shp53 cells. Thus, we demonstrated for the first time that Chk2 was required for cell cycle arrest and cell survival, particularly in cells with p53 defects under HS. These findings indicated that Chk2 may be a selective target for p53-mutated or -deficient cancer treated with hyperthermia.

Abstract
PURPOSE Transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase1 (TAK1) plays an anti-apoptotic role in response to multiple stresses. TAK1 inhibitor, 5Z-7-oxozeaenol (OZ) has been studied for its apoptotic effects. However, the combined effect of OZ with physical stresses remains to be elusive. Therefore, in this study we focussed to determine the combined effects of OZ with hyperthermia (HT) using Molt-4 cell line. MATERIALS AND METHODS Molt-4 cells were pre-treated with OZ for 1 h followed by heat exposure (44 °C, 10 min) and harvested 24 h after incubation at 37 °C, apoptosis was measured by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining assay using flow cytometry and cell growth was observed by cell counting assay. Further mechanism involved in the combination was investigated by measuring mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), intracellular ROS generation, expression of apoptosis related protein, intracellular calcium ion level and Fas activity. RESULTS Combination of OZ with HT significantly enhances MMP loss and superoxide generation. Furthermore, OZ pre-treatment promotes caspase-8 cleavage, Fas externalisation, caspase 3 activity and intracellular calcium ion levels. OZ pre-treatment decreased the expression of HT-induced Bcl-2 and increased the expression of pro-apoptotic Bax, while markedly suppressed the phosphorylation of JNK and p38. In addition, increased expression of CHOP following combined treatment indicates that ER stress may also involve in the enhancement of HT-induced apoptosis. CONCLUSION Our data showed for the first time that OZ sensitizes Molt-4 cells to HT-induced apoptosis via extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways. Furthermore, ROS and ER stress may also play role in the enhancement of HT-induced apoptosis by OZ.

Abstract
KRAS mutant lung cancers have long been considered as untreatable with drugs. Transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) appears to play an anti-apoptotic role in response to multiple stresses and has been reported to be a responsive kinase that regulates cell survival in KRAS-dependent cells. In this study, in order to find a useful approach to treat KRAS mutant lung cancer, we focused on the combined effects of 5Z-7-oxozeaenol, a TAK1 inhibitor, with hyperthermia (HT) in KRAS mutant lung cancer cell line A549. Annexin V-FITC/PI assay, cell cycle analysis, and colony formation assay revealed a significant enhancement in apoptosis induced by HT treatment, when the cells were pre-incubated with 5Z-7-oxozeaenol in a dose-dependent manner. The enhanced apoptosis by 5Z-7-oxozeaenol was accompanied by a significant increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). In addition, western blot showed that 5Z-7-oxozeaenol enhanced HT-induced expressions of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-8, and HSP70 and decreased HT-induced expressions of Bcl-2, p-p38, p-JNK, and LC3. Moreover, 5Z-7-oxozeaenol pre-treatment resulted in a marked elevation of intracellular calcium level which might be associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related pathway. Taken together, our data provides further insights of the mechanism of action of 5Z-7-oxozeaenol and HT treatment, and their potential application as a novel approache to treat patients with KRAS mutant lung cancer.
