Abstract
Glaesserella parasuis is an early colonizer of the swine upper respiratory tract and can break through the respiratory barrier for further invasion. However, the mechanisms underlying G. parasuis increases epithelial barrier permeability remain unclear. This study demonstrates that G. parasuis cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) induces p53-dependent apoptosis in new-born piglet tracheal (NPTr) cells. Moreover, we report for the first time that leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 8A (LRRC8A), an essential subunit of the volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC), involves in apoptosis of NPTr cells mediated by G. parasuis CDT. Pharmacological inhibition of VRAC with either PPQ-102 or NS3728 largely attenuated CDT-induced apoptosis in NPTr cells. Additionally, experiments with cells knocked down for LRRC8A using small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) or knocked out LRRC8A using CRISPR/Cas9 technology showed a significant reduction in CDT-induced apoptosis. Conversely, re-expression of Sus scrofa LRRC8A in LRRC8A-/- NPTr cells efficiently complemented the CDT-induced apoptosis. In summary, these findings suggest that LRRC8A is pivotal for G. parasuis CDT-induced apoptosis, providing novel insights into the mechanism of apoptosis caused by CDT.

Abstract
Transfection is a powerful analytical tool enabling studies of gene products and functions in eukaryotic cells. Successful delivery of genetic material into cells depends on DNA quantity and quality, incubation time and ratio of transfection reagent to DNA, the origin, type and the passage of transfected cells, and the presence or absence of serum in the cell culture. So far a number of transfection methods that use viruses, non-viral particles or physical factors as the nucleic acids carriers have been developed. Among non-viral carriers, the cationic polymers are proposed as the most attractive ones due to the possibility of their chemical structure modification, low toxicity and immunogenicity. In this review the delivery systems as well as physical, biological and chemical methods used for eukaryotic cells transfection are described and discussed.

Abstract
SRY-box 9 (SOX9) is overexpressed in a number of human tumors, including gastric cancer (GC). However, the function of SOX9 in the development of GC remains unknown. In the present study, SOX9 activated the Hippo-yes-associated protein (YAP) signaling pathway to enhance the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in GC cell lines. The results suggested that SOX9 knockdown inhibited invasion, proliferation and migration of GC cells. Furthermore, SOX9 silencing upregulated the expression of E-cadherin, an epithelial marker, and downregulated the expression of mesenchymal markers, including snail family transcriptional repressor 1, vimentin and N-cadherin. SOX9 overexpression increased the expression of the aforementioned markers. SOX9 significantly affected YAP phosphorylation and total YAP protein levels, suggesting that SOX9 is involved in the Hippo-YAP signaling pathway. The current study revealed that SOX9 may be involved in the pathogenesis of GC, and further elucidation of the pathways involved may support the development of novel therapeutic options for the treatment of GC.

Abstract
Mycoplasma spp, belongs to the class Mollicutes and is capable to produce alterations in cellular cultures causing damages to the biotechnological industry. Bioproducts generally require two essential inputs, bovine serum and cells. The study herein aims to evaluate the mycoplasma concentrations that affect the growing of BHK21 and Vero cells. The species used were: Mycoplasma orale, M. salivarium, M. arginini and M. hyorhinis, cultivated in a SP4 media. Two contamination tests were performed with BHK21 and Vero cells and one of them applied different concentrations of mycoplasma. In the first one, mycoplasma was applied at the day zero and, in the second one, the contamination was performed after the monolayer establishment. The both cellular cultures presented cytopathic effects with mycoplasma contamination, but the Vero cells suffered more damages than the BHK21 ones. It was also observed that the severity of the cytopathic effect depended on the mycoplasma specie, on the concentration and on the time of contact with the cellular culture, which evidences the importance of controlling the presence of mycoplasma in biotechnological industries.

Abstract
Different species of Mycoplasma can affect bovine cattle, causing several diseases. PCR sequencing and further analysis of the 16S-23S rRNA ITS region have shown a significant interspecies variability among Mollicutes. Sixteen suspected isolates of Mycoplasma spp. obtained from milk samples from dairy herds were amplified (16S-23S rRNA ITS region). Fourteen out of those 16 suspected Mycoplasma spp. isolates were PCR-positive. To confirm the identity of Mycoplasma bovis, these 14 isolates were tested by another species-specific PCR. Seven of the isolates rendered a positive result. The products of 16S-23S rRNA ITS PCR from one isolate that was identified as M. bovis and from two other isolates, identified as non- M. bovis were randomly selected, sequenced and analyzed. The three sequences (A, B and C) showed 100% similarity with M. bovis, Mycoplasma canadense and Mycoplasma californicum respectively.
