In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

[Q]: Context: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of maternal obesity on pancreas structure and carbohydrate metabolism in early adult life, focusing on the F1 and F2 generations after F0 maternal pregestational, gestation, and lactation high-fat diet (HF).', 'C57 BL/6 female mice (F0) were fed standard chow (SC) or an HF diet for 8 wk before mating and during the gestation and lactation periods to provide the F1 generation (F1-SC and F1-HF). At 3 mo old, F1 females were mated to produce the F2 generation (F2-SC and F2-HF). The male offspring from all groups were evaluated at 3 mo old.', 'F0-HF and F1-HF dams were overweight before gestation and had a higher body mass gain and energy intake during gestation, although only F0-HF dams presented pregestational hyperglycemia. The F1-HF offspring had higher body mass, energy intake, fasting glucose levels, and were glucose intolerant compared with F1-SC offspring. These parameters were not significantly altered in F2-HF offspring. Both F1-HF and F2-HF offspring showed hyperinsulinemia, hyperleptinemia, decreased adiponectin levels, increased pancreatic mass, and islet volume density with elevated - and -cell mass, hypertrophied islet characterized by an altered distribution of - and -cells and weak pancreatic-duodenal homeobox (Pdx)1 immunoreactivity.\Question: Does pregestational maternal obesity impair endocrine pancreas in male F1 and F2 progeny?
[A]: Maternal HF diet consumed during the preconception period and throughout the gestation and lactation periods in mice promotes metabolism and pancreatic programming in F1 and F2 male offspring, implying intergenerational effects.

[Q]: Context: Celastrol is an active ingredient of traditional herbal medicine and has recently been identified as a potent natural proteasome inhibitor. In the present study, we evaluated the radiosensitizing potential of celastrol in the human prostate cancer PC-3 model.', 'Clonogenic assays were performed to determine the radiosensitizing effect of celastrol. Apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry using Annexin V and propidium iodide staining and by a caspase-3 activation assay. DNA damage processing was examined by immunofluorescent staining and Western blot for phosphorylated H2AX (gammaH2AX). The PC-3 xenograft model in the athymic nude mouse was used for the determination of the in vivo efficacy of celastrol combined with radiotherapy. The tumor samples were also analyzed for apoptosis and angiogenesis.', 'Celastrol sensitized PC-3 cells to ionizing radiation (IR) in a dose- and schedule-dependent manner, in which pretreatment with celastrol for 1 h followed by IR achieved maximal radiosensitization. Celastrol significantly prolonged the presence of IR-induced gammaH2AX and increased IR-induced apoptosis. Celastrol, combined with fractionated radiation, significantly inhibited PC-3 tumor growth in vivo without obvious systemic toxicity. The combination treatment increased gammaH2AX levels and apoptosis, induced cleavage of poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose)polymerase and Mcl-1, and reduced angiogenesis in vivo compared with either treatment alone.\Question: Does celastrol potentiate radiotherapy by impairment of DNA damage processing in human prostate cancer?
[A]: Celastrol sensitized PC-3 cells to radiation both in vitro and in vivo by impairing DNA damage processing and augmenting apoptosis. Celastrol might represent a promising new adjuvant regimen for the treatment of hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

[Q]: Context: To investigate the effect of CD40Ig upon acute rejection of rat liver transplants.', 'Thirty-two orthotopic liver transplants were performed using Lewis to BN rats with "the two-cuff technique". The rats were randomly divided into three groups. Group A served as controls (n = 10); group B (n = 11) and group C (n = 11); Lipofectamine2000-pcDNA3.1 or Lipofectamine2000-pcDNA3.1. CD40Ig complex was injected into Lewis portal vein ex vivo before cold storage of the liver. On the fifth day after transplantation, three rats in each group were killed to study the pathological changes and TUNEL immune histochemistry performed to examine CD40Ig expression. Lymphocytes were obtained from the spleen. The mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) was performed to determine tolerance and sheep anti-human immunoglobulin G (IgG)-FITC-labeled T cells counted by flow cytometry. Postoperative survival times of rats in each group were recorded. The pathological changes of dead rats were observed.', 'The mean survival times of group A and B were 11.00 +/- 4.28 and 12.75 +/- 5.57 days, respectively. There were serious acute rejections in allograft liver in groups A and B. Apoptosis index was 33.67 +/- 5.69 versus 39.00 +/- 5.29. Group C mean survival time was 41.25 +/- 13.70 days (P < .01). Immune histochemistry showed CD40Ig-positive elements in the allograft liver, which revealed light acute rejection and apoptosis index was 0.27 +/- 0.21 (P < .01). The part of the allografted liver in a dead rat showed light acute rejection while the others displayed chronic rejection. Recipients were specifically tolerant to donors in the MLR assay. The IgG-FITC-labeled T cells accounted for 11.57% of all T cells in group C.\Question: Does transfection of CD40Ig into liver prevent acute rejection in rat liver transplantation?
[A]:
CD40Ig transfection inhibited T-cell costimulatory pathway, prevented acute rejection, and prolonged graft survival.
