Lithium prevents glucocorticoid ‑induced chondrocyte autophagy: An in vitro study
In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that lithium can prevent glucocorticoid‑induced autophagy by activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and preventing the glucocorticoid‑induced decrease in chondrocyte viability.PMID:37594059 | DOI:10.3892/mmr.2023.13070

Outer Arm Dynein Light Chain LC1 Is Required for Normal Motor Assembly Kinetics, Ciliary Stability and Motility
Mol Biol Cell. 2023 May 3:mbcE23030104. doi: 10.1091/mbc.E23-03-0104. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLight chain 1 (LC1) is a highly conserved leucine-rich repeat protein associated with the microtubule-binding domain of the Chlamydomonas outer dynein arm γ heavy chain. LC1 mutations in humans and trypanosomes lead to motility defects while its loss in oomycetes results in aciliate zoospores. Here we describe a Chlamydomonas LC1 null mutant (dlu1-1). This strain has reduced swimming velocity and beat frequency, can undergo waveform conversion but often exhibits loss of hydrodynamic coupling between the cilia. Following dec...

Lithium-induced ciliary lengthening sparks Arp2/3 complex-dependent endocytosis
Mol Biol Cell. 2023 Feb 8:mbcE22060219. doi: 10.1091/mbc.E22-06-0219. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCiliary length is highly regulated, but can be disrupted by lithium, which causes ciliary elongation across cell types and organisms. We used the algal system Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to investigate the mechanism behind lithium-induced ciliary elongation. Protein synthesis is not required for lengthening and the target of lithium, GSK3, has substrates that can influence membrane dynamics. Further, ciliary assembly requires a supply of ciliary membrane as well protein. Lithium-treated cilia elongate normally with Brefeldin t...

Exosomal STAT1 derived from high phosphorus ‑stimulated vascular endothelial cells induces vascular smooth muscle cell calcification via the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway
In conclusion, the present results indicated that exosomal STAT1 derived from HP‑treated HUVECs could promote VSMC calcification, and activation of the Wnt/β‑catenin pathway may be a potential mechanism of the VSMC calcification promoted by exosomes.PMID:36281932 | DOI:10.3892/ijmm.2022.5195

High-Efficiency Plasmid DNA Transformation in Yeast
Methods Mol Biol. 2022;2513:15-22. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-2399-2_2.ABSTRACTTransformation of DNA into cells of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other industrially important yeasts is most commonly performed using chemical-based methods. Current protocols typically involve exposure of the cells to lithium ions in a solution containing the crowding agent polyethylene glycol (PEG), often in conjunction with other reagents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) that promote destabilization of the cell wall and/or cell envelope. Recent work has demonstrated that it is possible to achieve high transformation efficienci...
