Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

Anti-citrullinated Protein Antibody Generation, Pathogenesis, Clinical Application, and Prospects

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are autoantibodies commonly observed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Currently, most of the mechanisms of ACPA formation and bone destruction are well-understood, however, some unknown mechanisms ...

NETosis in the Kidney, Liver, and Lung of Mice With Cecal Ligation and Puncture‐Induced Sepsis and the Ameliorating Effects of Adipose‐Derived Stem Cell Exosomes

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sepsis‐induced organ failure involves dysregulated neutrophil responses, including neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, via NETosis. Exosomes generated from adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs) have shown potential in sepsis treatment. This study characterized organ‐specific NETosis in the kidney, liver, and lungs using a murine cecal ...

Reactive oxygen species inhibit catalytic activity of peptidylarginine deiminase

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2017
Protein citrullination catalysed by peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) may play an important pathogenic role in several chronic inflammatory diseases and malignancies. PAD2, PAD4, and citrullinated proteins are found in the synovium of rheumatoid arthritis

Ion Activation Methods for Top‐Down Proteomics

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a premier method used to characterize the sequences of proteins. Top‐down proteomics aims to capture the multiple sources of structural diversity reflected in proteins, such as those that arise from alternative RNA splicing events or the addition of post‐translational modifications. Tandem MS (i.e., MS/MS)

Colorectal cancer liver metastatic growth depends on PAD4-driven citrullination of the extracellular matrix

Nature Communications, 2018
Colorectal cancers (CRCs) often develop into untreatable metastatic disease of the liver. Here the authors report the modification of extracellular matrix proteins by citrullination in CRC metastases to the liver and propose that inhibition of ...

Breast Cancer‐Derived AZU1 Educates Neutrophils to Promote Tumor Progression and Metastasis Through PAD4‐Dependent Extracellular Trap Formation

Molecular Carcinogenesis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play crucial roles in cancer progression, but their regulatory mechanisms in breast cancer remain poorly understood. We developed a NETs‐related prognostic risk model using TCGA breast cancer data and identified key biomarkers through bioinformatics analysis.

Citrullination of Self‐Proteins and Autoimmunity [PDF]

Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, 2004
AbstractCitrullination (deimination is an enzymatic, posttranslational conversion of arginine residues to citrulline residues) of joint‐associated self‐proteins may be a possible mechanism in the induction of autoimmune CD4 T‐cell responses in rheumatoid arthritis.

Bioactive Natural Products in Cardiovascular Disease: Focus on Thrombotic Events

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
An overview of the role of natural products (NP) in cardiovascular disease prevention, highlighting key mechanisms of action: including antiplatelet, antithrombotic, anti‐inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Additionally, it illustrates the integration of diet–drug interactions, nutritional epigenetics, and the role of artificial intelligence in ...

Immunomodulatory Nanozymes as Programmable Redox–Immune Set‐Point Regulators

Small, EarlyView.
Conceptual phase space linking reactive oxygen species level/dynamics to immune state, with pathological set‐points for chronic inflammation, tumor escape, and degeneration contrasted against a central healthy redox–immune set‐point. Buffering and amplifying nanozymes are depicted as devices that dial redox tone up or down to steer diseased ...
