Abstract
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) applied to chemically reactive systems provides information about chemical reaction equilibrium constants and diffusion coefficients of reactants. These physical quantities are determined from the FCS-measured autocorrelation function, G(t), as a function of time, t. In most of the studied cases, the analytical form of G(t) is well-known for reactions that are much faster than the diffusion time of reactants across the focal volume probed by FCS or when they are much slower than the diffusion time. Here, we develop an analytical form of G(t) for reactions occurring at an intermediate time scale comparable to the diffusion time. G(t) depends on the reaction rates in such reactions. We focus on reversibly binding a fluorescently labeled small molecule to a macromolecule in a diluted solution in thermodynamic equilibrium. Our approach allows the analysis of FCS data over a wide range of diffusion coefficients, reaction rate constants, and brightness levels of fluorescent labels. Our G(t) is valid even when the fluorescent label changes its brightness upon binding. The easy-to-implement analytical form of the autocorrelation function greatly helps experimentalists study chemical reactions, determining the equilibrium constants of reactions and the reaction rates.

Transcriptomic Analysis of CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated PARP1-Knockout Cells under the Influence of Topotecan and TDP1 Inhibitor. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24065148.

Abstract
Topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) is an enzyme that regulates DNA topology and is essential for replication, recombination, and other processes. The normal TOP1 catalytic cycle involves the formation of a short-lived covalent complex with the 3' end of DNA (TOP1 cleavage complex, TOP1cc), which can be stabilized, resulting in cell death. This fact substantiates the effectiveness of anticancer drugs-TOP1 poisons, such as topotecan, that block the relegation of DNA and fix TOP1cc. Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) is able to eliminate TOP1cc. Thus, TDP1 interferes with the action of topotecan. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a key regulator of many processes in the cell, such as maintaining the integrity of the genome, regulation of the cell cycle, cell death, and others. PARP1 also controls the repair of TOP1cc. We performed a transcriptomic analysis of wild type and PARP1 knockout HEK293A cells treated with topotecan and TDP1 inhibitor OL9-119 alone and in combination. The largest number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs, about 4000 both up- and down-regulated genes) was found in knockout cells. Topotecan and OL9-119 treatment elicited significantly fewer DEGs in WT cells and negligible DEGs in PARP1-KO cells. A significant part of the changes caused by PARP1-KO affected the synthesis and processing of proteins. Differences under the action of treatment with TOP1 or TDP1 inhibitors alone were found in the signaling pathways for the development of cancer, DNA repair, and the proteasome. The drug combination resulted in DEGs in the ribosome, proteasome, spliceosome, and oxidative phosphorylation pathways.

Abstract
Bevacizumab is a biological drug that is now extensively studied in clinics against various types of cancer. Although bevacizumab's action is preferably extracellular, there are reports suggesting its internalization into cancer cells, consequently decreasing its therapeutic potential. Here we are solving this issue by applying fluorescence correlation spectroscopy in living cells. We tracked single molecules of fluorescent bevacizumab in MDA-MB-231 and HeLa cells and proved that mobility measurements bring significant added value to standard imaging techniques. We confirmed the presence of the drug in intracellular vesicles. Additionally, we explicitly excluded the presence of a free cytosolic fraction of bevacizumab in both studied cell types. Extracellular and intracellular concentrations of the drug were measured, giving a partition coefficient on the order of 10-5, comparable with the spontaneous uptake of biologically inert nanoparticles. Our work presents how techniques and models developed for physics can answer biological questions.

Abstract
The effect of PARP1 knockout in HEK293 cells on the gene expression of DNA base excision repair (BER) proteins was studied. It was shown that the expression of all differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of BER was reduced by knockout. The expression of the DNA glycosylase gene NEIL1, which is considered to be one of the common "hubs" for binding BER proteins, has changed the most. The expression of genes of auxiliary subunits of DNA polymerases δ and ε is also significantly reduced. The PARP1 gene knockout cell line obtained is an adequate cell model for studying the activity of the BER process in the absence of PARP1 and testing drugs aimed at inhibiting repair processes. It has been found for the first time that knockout of the PARP1 gene results in a significant change in the level of expression of proteins responsible for ribosome biogenesis and the functioning of the proteasome.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Most experimental procedures applied in modern biology involve cargo delivering into cells. One of the ways to cargo introduction is osmotic-mediated intracellular vesicle swelling. However, its widespread use was hindered due to cargo size (<10 nm) and cell-type-related restrictions. We addressed the issue of the composition of colloidal loading solution to enhance the efficiency of cellular delivery. EXPERIMENTS We examined the effectiveness of colloidal loading solutions of varied compositions, including various types and sizes of polymers building osmotic pressure. We used confocal imaging coupled with fluorescence correlation spectroscopy to evaluate the introduction of polymers, proteins, nanoparticles, and DNA plasmids (cargos of sizes 1-175 nm) to cells representing eight cell lines: cancer, normal, epithelial, and mesenchymal ones. FINDINGS We found that cellular delivery effectiveness strongly correlates with the size and concentration of osmotic pressure building polymers and not with the high value of the osmotic pressure itself. We show that polymer solutions at the entangled regime of concentrations enhance the delivery of large biomacromolecules even of size 200 nm (DNA plasmids) into cells, including MDA-MB-231 cells - so far resistant to the osmotic procedure. We show that the colloid loading medium based on entangled polymer chains is a versatile cargo delivery tool for molecular biology.
