GSE217187 Interplay between acetylation and ubiquitination of Isw1 confers multidrug resistance in Cryptococcus neoformans
Contributor : Chen DingSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii H99Cryptococcus neoformans poses a great threat to human communities, given that it quickly becomes resistant to available antifungal drugs. Herein, a conserved chromatin remodeler, Isw1, is shown to function as a master transcriptional modulator of genes responsible for multidrug resistance. It reciprocally controls drug resistance, and cells with disrupted ISW1 demonstrate profound resistance to fluconazole, ketoconazole, 5-fluorocytosine and 5-fluorouracil. Mass spectrometry reveals that...

Treatment of Primary Pigmented Nodular Adrenocortical Disease
Horm Metab Res 2022; 54: 721-730 DOI: 10.1055/a-1948-6990Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) is a rare cause of adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH)-independent Cushing’s syndrome (CS), which mainly occurs in children and young adults. Treatment options with proven clinical efficacy for PPNAD include adrenalectomy (bilateral or unilateral adrenalectomy) and drug treatment to control hypercortisolemia. Previously, the main treatment of PPNAD is bilateral adrenal resection and long-term hormone replacement after surgery. In recent years, cases r...

Genotoxicity of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in metabolically inactive human cervical cancer HeLa cells co-cultured with human hepatoma HepG2 cells
Arch Toxicol. 2022 Oct 23. doi: 10.1007/s00204-022-03394-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are secondary plant metabolites, which can be found as contaminant in various foods and herbal products. Several PAs can cause hepatotoxicity and liver cancer via damaging hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (HSECs) after hepatic metabolization. HSECs themselves do not express the required metabolic enzymes for activation of PAs. Here we applied a co-culture model to mimic the in vivo hepatic environment and to study PA-induced effects on not metabolically active neighbour cells. In this co-culture model...

Evaluation of ketoconazole as a treatment for Cushing ’s disease in a retrospective cohort
ConclusionKetoconazole effectively controlled hypercortisolism in 66% of Cushing’s disease patients, being a relatively safe drug for those without remission after transsphenoidal surgery or whose symptoms must be controlled until a new definitive therapy is carried out. Hypokalemia is a frequent metabolic effect not yet described in other series, which should be monitored during treatment. (Source: Frontiers in Endocrinology)

Development and validation of a sensitive LC-MS/MS method for determination of intracellular concentration of fluconazole in Candida albicans
In this study, a simple and sensitive liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed to quantify the intracellular fluconazole (FLC) content in the opportunistic human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. The cell lysates were prepared by lysing C. albicans cells with Precellys homogenizers and FLC was extracted with methylene chloride. The entire extraction approach was simple, precise and reliable. The extracts were separated on a Zorbax SB-C18 column using a mobile phase of acetonitrile (solvent A) and deionized water plus 0.1% formic acid. FLC and ketoconazole (KCZ, internal standard) ...
