EGCG suppresses PD-1 expression of T cells via inhibiting NF- κB phosphorylation and nuclear translocation
Int Immunopharmacol. 2024 Apr 20;133:112069. doi: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112069. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEpigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is an important tea polyphenol with anti-tumor potential. Our previous studies revealed that EGCG was a promising immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) as it could downregulate expression of programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) in tumor cells, thereby resulting tumor killing effect. In particular, EGCG can effectively avoid the inflammatory storm caused by anti-tumor therapy, which is a healthy green capacity absent from many ICIs. However, the relationship between EGCG and program...

Translocation and confinement of tetraamines in adaptable microporous cavities
In this study, we propose an alternative mechanism that does not rely on the use of neutral metal vacancies as binding sites but is enabled by the structural adaptability of heterobimetallic Ti2Ca2 clusters. The combination of hard (Ti+4) and soft (Ca2+) metal centers in the inorganic nodes of the framework enables MUV-10 to adapt its pore windows to the presence of triethylenetetramine molecules. This dynamic cluster response facilitates the translocation and binding of tetraamine inside the microporous cavities to enable the formation of bis-coordinate adducts that are stable in water. The extension of this grafting conc...

Moringin, an isothiocyanate modulates multiple cellular signalling molecules in breast cancer cells
Cell Signal. 2024 Apr 19:111181. doi: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2024.111181. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProhibitin (PHB) is a pleiotropic molecule with a variety of known functions and subcellular locations. PHB's function in breast cancer is poorly understood. Herein, we report that PHB is expressed in cancer types of diverse origin including breast cancer. The cancer patients with changes in PHB were reported to have significantly reduced 'overall survival' in comparison to the cases without alterations in PHB. The expression of PHB was increased by H2O2 and also by Moringin (MG), which is an isothiocyanate derived from the s...

Inhibition of YAP/TAZ pathway contributes to the cytotoxicity of silibinin in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells
Cell Signal. 2024 Apr 19:111186. doi: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2024.111186. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBreast cancer is one of the most common cancers threatening women's health. Our previous study found that silibinin induced the death of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. We noticed that silibinin-induced cell damage was accompanied by morphological changes, including the increased cell aspect ratio (cell length/width) and decreased cell area. Besides, the cytoskeleton is also destroyed in cells treated with silibinin. YAP/TAZ, a mechanical signal sensor interacted with extracellular pressure, cell adhesion area...

GSE231534 Tet Controls Axon Guidance in Early Brain Development through Glutamatergic Signaling
Contributors : Hiep Tran ; Le Le ; Badri Nath Singh ; Joseph Kramer ; Ruth StewardSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Drosophila melanogasterTen-eleven translocation (Tet) is an important gene in neurodevelopment, but how Tet regulates brain development is still under study. Mutations in human TET proteins have been found in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. Here we report a new function of Tet in regulating Drosophila early brain development. We found that mutation on the Tet DNA-binding domain (TetAXXC) resulted in axon guidance defects in the mushroom body (MB). T...

Evidence for persistent UV-induced DNA damage and altered DNA damage response in xeroderma pigmentosa patient corneas
Exp Eye Res. 2024 Apr 17:109901. doi: 10.1016/j.exer.2024.109901. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTXeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by injury to the ocular surface due to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV-induced damage in the cells leads to the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproducts that are repaired by the NER (Nucleotide Excision Repair) pathway. Mutations in the genes coding for NER proteins, as reported in XP patients, would lead to sub-optimal damage repair resulting in clinical signs varying from photo-keratitis to cancer...

Insights into the alleviation of cadmium toxicity in rice by nano-zinc and Serendipita indica: Modulation of stress-responsive gene expression and antioxidant defense system activation
Environ Pollut. 2024 Apr 17:123952. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123952. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe adversities of cadmium (Cd) contamination are quite distinguished among other heavy metals (HMs), and so is the efficacy of zinc (Zn) nutrition in mitigating Cd toxicity. Rice (Oryza sativa) crop, known for its ability to absorb HMs, inadvertently facilitates the bioaccumulation of Cd, posing a significant risk to both the plant itself and to humans consuming its edible parts, and damaging the environment as well. The use of nanoparticles, such as nano-zinc oxide (nZnO), to improve the nutritional quality of crops and t...

GSE263911 AML1-ETO and CCND2 overexpression ¬ cooperate to drive acute myeloid leukemia initiation and progression
In conclusion, we confirmed that introduction of the CCND2 gene into the AML/ETO pre-leukemia mice can trigger the development of leukemia. We also confirmed that CCND2 overexpression resulted in the upregulation of the mTOR pathway and inhibiting the pathway may be a therapeutic agent for this subtype of leukemia.

GSE255251 Integrative transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of subconfluent and confluent cancer cells
In this study we examine the impact of cell confluency on gene expression. We focused on Argonaute (AGO) protein dynamics and associated gene and protein expression in HEK293, A375, and SHSY5Y cell lines. As a measure of cell confluency, we observed a profound translocation of AGO2 into the nucleus. Therefore, we generated transcriptomic data using RNA sequencing to compare gene expression in subconfluent versus confluent cells, which highlighted significant alterations in gene regulation patterns directly corresponding to changes in cell density. Our study also encompasses miRNA profiling data obtained through small RNA s...

Impact of MG132 induced-proteotoxic stress on αB-crystallin and desmin phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation and their partition towards cytoskeleton
Biochimie. 2024 Apr 16:S0300-9084(24)00079-8. doi: 10.1016/j.biochi.2024.04.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSmall Heat Shock Proteins are considered as the first line of defense when proteostasis fails. Among them, αB-crystallin is expressed in striated muscles in which it interacts with desmin intermediate filaments to stabilize them, maintaining cytoskeleton's integrity and muscular functionalities. Desmin is a key actor for muscle health; its targeting by αB-crystallin is thus crucial, especially in stress conditions. αB-crystallin is phosphorylated and O-GlcNAcylated. Its phosphorylation increases consecutively t...
