Allosteric modulation of beta1 integrin function induces lung repair in animal model of emphysema. [PDF]

, 2007
Emphysema is a progressive lung disease characterised by loss of lung parenchyma with associated functional changes including decreased tissue elastance. Here we report beta1 integrin is a novel target for tissue repair and regeneration in emphysema.

Dipiperazine‐Phenyl Derivatives Based on Convergent Molecular Platforms Can Reverse Multidrug Resistance in Gram‐Negative Bacteria by Inhibiting Efflux and Permeabilizing Cell Membranes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By integrating a convergent molecular platform strategy, this study designed a novel dual‐target C5 to combat multidrug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacteria. C5 synergistically enhances antibiotic efficacy by inhibiting efflux pumps and increasing bacterial membrane permeability.

A switch element in the autophagy E2 Atg3 mediates allosteric regulation across the lipidation cascade

, 2019
Autophagy depends on the E2 enzyme, Atg3, functioning in a conserved E1-E2-E3 trienzyme cascade that catalyzes lipidation of Atg8-family ubiquitin-like proteins (UBLs).

Fibrates Inhibit PLTP‐induced M2 Macrophage Infiltration and Increase the Sensitivity of Hepatocellular Carcinoma to ICIs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Phospholipid transfer protein(PLTP) plays a critical role in forming a complex with kinase A (AURKA) and P65. This interaction facilitates phosphorylation of P65 at Ser536, leading to the activation of the NF‐κB signaling pathway. Ultimately, this leads to the upregulation of downstream cytokines, including IL‐6, IL‐8, and CSF‐1, which promotes M2 ...

Magnetically‐Induced Suppression of Oxidative Stress Prevents Venous Thrombosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. This study demonstrates that static magnetic fields (SMF) offer a novel non‐pharmacological intervention against VTE by mitigating endothelial oxidative stress. Mechanistically, SMF elevates intracellular Ca2+, boosts ATP production, and suppresses NOX4‐mediated ROS ...

Eigenvector Centrality Distribution for Characterization of Protein Allosteric Pathways

, 2018
Determining the principal energy pathways for allosteric communication in biomolecules, that occur as a result of thermal motion, remains challenging due to the intrinsic complexity of the systems involved.

HSP70 Interactome‐Mediated Proteolysis Targeting Chimera (HSP70‐PROTAC) for Ferroptosis‐Driven Cancer Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports a novel targeted protein degradation strategy termed “HSP70‐PROTAC” that recruits Hsc70 complex to a target protein for inducing degradation. Among them, GDAz‐3 exhibits effective GPX4 degradation activity via UPS/CMA processes, triggering ferroptosis‐driven anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo.

Mutual Exclusion Analysis Shows that DUSP9 Negatively Regulates PD‐L1 Expression and Acts as a Target to Enhance Anti‐PD‐1 Efficacy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A mutually exclusive screening system is established to identify negative regulators of highly plastic genes. Dual specificity phosphatase (DUSP9) is a novel negative regulatory molecule of PD‐L1 by dephosphorylating STAT3, and acts as a target molecule in combination with PD‐1 antibody for tumor immunotherapy and a new clinical biomarker for ...

Forsythoside E Alleviates Liver Injury by Targeting PKM2 Tetramerization to Promote Macrophage M2 Polarization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here, the study shows for the first time that Forsythoside E (FE) can promote PKM2 tetramerization by binding to its K311 site. Furthermore, it induces metabolic reprogramming of macrophages and inhibits NLRP3 expression. Finally, it can alleviate sepsis‐induced liver injury by promoting M2 anti‐inflammatory polarization.
