Targeting EZH2 reverses thyroid cell dedifferentiation and enhances iodide uptake in anaplastic thyroid cancer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) lacks iodide uptake ability due to MAPK activation increasing the expression of the histone methyltransferase EZH2, which represses thyroid differentiation genes (TDGs) such as the sodium iodide symporter (NIS). Dual inhibition of MAPK (U0126) and EZH2 (EPZ6438/Tazemetostat) reverses this mechanism, thus restoring TDG ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

STUDY OF PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL BREAST CALCIFICATIONS ON MAMMOGRAPHY

Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental sciences, 2013
INTRODUCTION: Breast calcifications are too small to feel. They can be seen on mammography. They are common and found in about half of all mammograms of females aged 50 and older and one in 10 mammograms of young women. The initial assessment of calcification is made to determine if they confirm well established benign morphologies. Calcifications with

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

MO805CAUSAL PATHWAY-BASED PHYSIOLOGICAL MODELING OF VASCULAR CALCIFICATION IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2021
Abstract Background and Aims Vascular calcification (VC) is common sequelae in chronic and end-stage kidney diseases (CKD/ESKD), and is associated with multiple risk factors, including disturbed bone metabolism and mineral disorders (CKD-BMD), uremia, leading to increased morbidity and mortality.
