Arrestin-3 differentially regulates platelet GPCR subsets

Platelets, 2020
The principal demonstrated role of the nonvisual arrestins in vivo is to limit G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling. Nonetheless, a direct demonstration of this fundamental ability in platelets remains lacking, despite the prominent role played by

Gut microbiota–derived short‐chain fatty acids regulate group 3 innate lymphoid cells in HCC

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are essential for host defense against infection and tissue homeostasis. However, their role in the development of HCC has not been adequately confirmed. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory role of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) derived from intestinal microbiota in ILC3

Odorant receptors can mediate axonal identity and gene choice via cAMP-independent mechanisms [PDF]

Open Biology, 2016
Odorant receptors (ORs) control several aspects of cell fate in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), including singular gene choice and axonal identity.

Malignant progression of liver cancer progenitors requires lysine acetyltransferase 7–acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G protein GαS

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
KAT7‐acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G‐protein GαS enhances IL‐6 effect and drives HCC progenitor cell progression. Abstract Background and Aims Hepatocarcinogenesis goes through HCC progenitor cells (HcPCs) to fully established HCC, and the mechanisms driving the development of HcPCs are still largely unknown.

Combinatorial targeting of G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 and cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 reveals a mechanistic role for bile acids and leukotrienes in drug‐induced liver injury

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
CHIN117 is a dual cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CYSLTR1) antagonist and G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) agonist. In the liver, GPBAR1 and CYSLTR1 are coexpressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), HSCs, circulating monocytes/macrophages, and liver resident macrophages (Kupffer cells).

GPCR transactivation signalling in vascular smooth muscle cells: role of NADPH oxidases and reactive oxygen species

Vascular Biology, 2019
The discovery and extension of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) transactivation-dependent signalling has enormously broadened the GPCR signalling paradigm.

Gut microbiota‐stem cell niche crosstalk: A new territory for maintaining intestinal homeostasis

iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are protected by their niche and are regulated by Wnt, bone morphogenetic protein, and Notch. ISCs and their relationship with intestinal microbiota provide a feasible pathway to alleviate intestinal diseases. Diverse bacteria‐related postbiotics regulate ISCs and maintain their homeostasis.

Genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors for GPCR research

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate a wide range of physiological and pathophysiological cellular processes, thus it is important to understand how GPCRs are activated and function in various cellular contexts.

Synthesis and Characterization of Photoswitchable Covalent Ligands for the β2‐Adrenoceptor

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A structure‐based design of a covalent photoswitchable ligand for the β2‐adrenergic receptor, a therapeutically relevant GPCR, is described. This tool facilitates the modification of the intrinsic activity of the protein by light. Computational analysis of its mechanism of action suggests that the photoswitch takes place within the binding pocket ...

Below the Surface: IGF-1R Therapeutic Targeting and Its Endocytic Journey

Cells, 2019
Ligand-activated plasma membrane receptors follow pathways of endocytosis through the endosomal sorting apparatus. Receptors cluster in clathrin-coated pits that bud inwards and enter the cell as clathrin-coated vesicles.
