Antibiofilm activity of a chionodracine‐derived peptide by NMR‐based metabolomics of cell‐free supernatant of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KHS‐Cnd peptide is able to impair biofilm formation and disaggregate mature biofilms in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. Differences in extracellular metabolites reflect changes in biofilm metabolism due to KHS‐Cnd treatment. Among the differentially represented extracellular metabolites upon KHS‐Cnd treatment, the significantly altered ...

Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activities of Chlorogenic Acid Against Yersinia enterocolitica

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Nowadays, developing new and natural compounds with antibacterial activities from plants has become a promising approach to solve antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria. Chlorogenic acid (CA), as a kind of phenolic acid existing in many plants, has

KLK7 overexpression promotes an aggressive phenotype and facilitates peritoneal dissemination in colorectal cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KLK7, a tissue kallikrein‐related peptidase, is elevated in advanced colorectal cancer and associated with shorter survival. High KLK7 levels in ascites correlate with peritoneal metastasis. In mice, KLK7 overexpression increases metastasis. In vitro, KLK7 enhances cancer cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, and spheroid formation, driving ...

A Barrier to Entry: Examining the Bacterial Outer Membrane and Antibiotic Resistance

Applied Sciences, 2023
Gram-negative bacteria can resist antibiotics by changing the permeability via their outer membrane. These bacteria have a complex cell envelope that incorporates an outer membrane separating the periplasm from the external environment.

Effects of aquaporin-lipid molar ratio on the permeability of an aquaporin Z-phospholipid membrane system.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Aquaporins are water-permeable membrane-channel proteins found in biological cell membranes that selectively exclude ions and large molecules and have high water permeability, which makes them promising candidates for water desalination systems.

Dapagliflozin prevents methylglyoxal‐induced retinal cell death in ARPE‐19 cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Diabetic macular oedema is a diabetes complication of the eye, which may lead to permanent blindness. ARPE‐19 are human retinal cells used to study retinal diseases and potential therapeutics. Methylglyoxal is a compound increased in uncontrolled diabetes due to elevated blood glucose.

Sphingosine Increases the Permeability of Model and Cell Membranes [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2006
Sphingosine, at 5-15 mol % total lipids, remarkably increases the permeability to aqueous solutes of liposomal and erythrocyte ghost membranes. The increased permeability cannot be interpreted in terms of leakage occurring at the early stages of a putative membrane solubilization by sphingosine, nor is it due to a sphingosine-induced generation of ...

The Aging Blood: Cellular Origins, Circulating Drivers, and Therapeutic Potential

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
As a conduit linking all organs, the blood system both reflects and actively drives systemic aging. This review highlights how circulating pro‐aging and antiaging factors and age‐associated hematopoietic stem cell dysfunction contribute to immunosenescence and multi‐organ decline, positioning the hematopoietic system as a target for aging intervention.
