Mitochondrial Transporter ABCB10 Protects Against Doxorubicin-Induced Respiratory Muscle Dysfunction Independent of Changes to Diaphragm Accumulation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Doxorubicin (DOX) is a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent whose use can cause respiratory toxicity, increasing patient fatigue and negatively impacting quality of life and survival. These adverse effects occur due to diaphragm muscle mitochondrial accumulation of DOX, where it causes reactive oxygen species production and iron ...

Photodynamic therapy of cancer-associated infections. [PDF]
Pathogens can be involved in tumor initiation, promotion and progression through different mechanisms, and their treatment can prevent new cancer cases, improve outcomes, and revert poor‐prognostic phenotypes. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) successfully treats different types of cancers and infections, and, therefore, has a unique potential to address ...

Whole‐Cell P450 Biocatalysis Using Engineered Escherichia coli with Fine‐Tuned Heme Biosynthesis
Here, the development of an engineered E. coli strain capable of improved heme supply suitable for whole‐cell P450 biocatalysts is reported. The intracellular heme level is fine‐tuned by the combined use of mutated heme‐sensitive biosensors and small regulatory RNA systems.

Mild intermittend hypoxia extends lifespan in Daphnia clones from intermittent ponds, but not from permanent ponds and does not provide added protection against acute severe hypoxia. Several pathways, including glycolysis and gluconeogenesis as well as cuticular proteins and neurotrophins are upregulated by acute hypoxia, in the manner consistent with ...

The sphingolipid anteome: implications for evolution of the sphingolipid metabolic pathway
This study introduces the concept of the ‘anteome’, from the Latin ante, to define the upstream metabolic pathways that need to converge upon other pathways, in this case, the sphingolipid metabolic pathway, to allow the pathway to function. We suggest that current evolutionary models cannot explain the appearance of the sphingolipid metabolic pathway ...

Exploring the mechanisms of glycolytic genes involvement in pulmonary arterial hypertension through integrative bioinformatics analysis [PDF]
Abstract The purpose of this study was to identify the mechanisms underlying the involvement of glycolytic genes in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This study involved downloading 3 datasets from the GEO database at the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The datasets were processed to obtain expression matrices for analysis.

ABSTRACT Cobalamin (vitamin B12) is an essential cofactor for two human enzymes, methionine synthase and methylmalonyl‐CoA mutase. Inborn errors of cobalamin metabolism (IECMs) are inherited genetic defects resulting in improper transport, modification, or utilization of cobalamin and include inherited methylmalonic acidurias, a group of IECMs most ...
