Anti-tumor activity of arginine deiminase via arginine deprivation in retinoblastoma

Oncology Reports, 2007
In spite of recent advances in the treatment of retinoblastoma, chemotherapy is still challenging in high-stage intraocular retinoblastoma or metastatic retinoblastoma. Here, we investigated whether arginine deprivation via arginine deiminase (ADI) could be a new anti-tumor therapy in retinoblastoma cells.

Arginine depletion as a mechanism for the immune privilege of corneal allografts. [PDF]

, 2011
The cornea is an immune privileged tissue. Since arginase has been found to modulate T-cell function by depleting arginine, we investigated the expression of arginase in the cornea and its possible role in immune privilege using a murine transplant model.

Fermentation in Pineapple Juice Significantly Enhances Ornithine and Citrulline Production in Lactococcus lactis MSC-3G Isolated from Sugarcane

Microorganisms, 2022
Lactic acid bacterial (LAB) fermentation of functional amino acids using fruit juices as a cultivation medium is not well-documented. In the present study, we successfully isolated a high ornithine- and citrulline-producing Lactococcus lactis strain ...

Current Cell/Organoid and Animal Models for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease with limited therapeutic options and a marked risk of progression to biliary fibrosis, cirrhosis, and malignancy. Progress in PSC research has been hindered by the lack of models that faithfully recapitulate the complex biliary microenvironment and disease heterogeneity ...

Hypoxia‐preconditioned adipose‐derived mesenchymal stem cells‐derived exosomes transferring H19 obstruct neutrophil extracellular traps formation via HOXA5‐mediated inactivation of TLR4/NF‐κB/NLRP3 inflammatory signaling

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
In this study, we uncovered that Hypo‐Exo transferring H19 promoted diabetic wound healing by repressing NETs formation via the miR‐130a/b‐3p/HOXA5 pathway to inactivate the TLR4/NF‐κB/NLRP3 inflammatory signaling. ABSTRACT Background Hypoxia‐stimulated adipose‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs)‐derived exosomes (Hypo‐Exo) have a positive impact on

Peptidomimetics as protein arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) inhibitors

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2014
The protein arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) is a calcium-dependent enzyme, which catalyses the irreversible conversion of peptidyl-arginines into peptidyl-citrullines and plays an important role in several diseases such as in the rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jacob's disease and cancer.

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...
