The direct binding of bioactive peptide Andersonin-W1 to TLR4 expedites the healing of diabetic skin wounds
CONCLUSIONS: AW1 modulates inflammation and the wound healing process by the TLR4/NF-κB molecular axis, thus facilitating reepithelialization, granulation regeneration, and angiogenesis. These findings not only provided a promising multifunctional prohealing drug candidate for chronic nonhealing skin wounds but also highlighted the unique roles of "small" peptides in the elucidation of "big" human disease mechanisms.PMID:38317065 | PMC:PMC10845795 | DOI:10.1186/s11658-024-00542-4 (Source: Cellular and Molecular Biology Letters)

Ubiquitous protein lactylation in health and diseases
Cell Mol Biol Lett. 2024 Feb 5;29(1):23. doi: 10.1186/s11658-024-00541-5.ABSTRACTFor decades, lactate has been considered a byproduct of glycolysis. The lactate shuttle hypothesis shifted the lactate paradigm, demonstrating that lactate not only plays important roles in cellular metabolism but also cellular communications, which can transcend compartment barriers and can occur within and among different cells, tissues and organs. Recently, the discovery that lactate can induce a novel post-translational modification, named lysine lactylation (Kla), brings forth a new avenue to study nonmetabolic functions for lactate, whic...

IP < sub > 3 < /sub > R1-mediated MAMs formation contributes to mechanical trauma-induced hepatic injury and the protective effect of melatonin
CONCLUSION: Melatonin prevents the formation of MAMs via the MR-ERK1/2-FoxO1-IP3R1 pathway, thereby alleviating the development of MT-induced liver injury. Melatonin-modulated MAMs may be a promising therapeutic therapy for traumatic hepatic injury.PMID:38308199 | PMC:PMC10836028 | DOI:10.1186/s11658-023-00509-x (Source: Cellular and Molecular Biology Letters)

Pro-inflammatory cytokines stimulate CFTR-dependent anion secretion in pancreatic ductal epithelium
CONCLUSIONS: Pro-inflammatory cytokines enhance CFTR-dependent anion secretion across pancreatic ductal epithelium. We propose that up-regulation of CFTR in the early stages of the inflammatory response, may serve to promote the removal of pathogenic stimuli from the ductal tree, and limit tissue injury.PMID:38262945 | PMC:PMC10807165 | DOI:10.1186/s11658-024-00537-1 (Source: Cellular and Molecular Biology Letters)

FFAR4 activation inhibits lung adenocarcinoma via blocking respiratory chain complex assembly associated mitochondrial metabolism
The objective of this study is to ascertain whether a correlation exists between FFAR4, which functions as the primary receptor for dietary fatty acids, and various characteristics of LUAD, while also delving into the potential underlying mechanism. The findings of this study indicate a decrease in FFAR4 expression in LUAD, with a positive correlation (P < 0.01) between FFAR4 levels and overall patient survival (OS). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated a significant diagnostic value [area under the curve (AUC) of 0.933] associated with FFAR4 expression. Functional investigations revealed ...
