Synthesis and use of cell-permeant cyclic ADP-ribose

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2012
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is a second messenger that acts on ryanodine receptors to mobilize Ca(2+). cADPR has a net negative charge at physiological pH making it not passively membrane permeant thereby requiring it to be injected, electroporated or loaded via liposomes.

MECHANISMS OF DISEASE Acute Oxygen-Sensing Mechanisms [PDF]

, 2005
JOSEPH PRIESTLEY, ONE OF THE THREE SCIENTISTS CREDITED WITH THE discovery of oxygen, described the death of mice that were deprived of oxygen. However, he was also well aware of the toxicity of too much oxygen, stating, “For as a candle burns much faster

Chromodomain Helicase DNA–Binding Proteins and Spermatogenesis: Current Advances

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Male infertility is a prevalent clinical condition, with approximately one‐third of cases classified as idiopathic, frequently stemming from impaired spermatogenesis because of dysregulated gene expression. Chromodomain helicase DNA‐binding (CHD) proteins are central chromatin remodelers that orchestrate this epigenetic regulation ...

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

Therapeutic potential of natural products in cancer immunotherapy: Advances and challenges

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This review systematically outlines the mechanisms underlying tumour immunotherapy resistance and elucidates the role of natural products in enhancing therapeutic efficacy as immunomodulatory adjuvants. Abstract Immunotherapy has emerged as a clinically pivotal approach in cancer treatment, but its application remains limited to a small subset of ...

The metalloproteinase ADAM17 promotes acute lung inflammatory responses during pancreatitis

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a multifactorial upper gastrointestinal inflammatory disorder that in severe cases (~20% of all AP) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, the latter coincident with multiorgan dysfunction, particularly acute lung injury (ALI).

Molecular and Cell Biological Characterization of Patient‐Derived Head and Neck Squamous Carcinoma Cell Lines

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Patient‐derived head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells were genomically and cytogenetically characterized, revealing actionable alterations and chromosomal instability. Targeted therapies suppressed growth according to EGFR amplification or PIK3CA mutation status.

JI‐CJ002 and Dabrafenib Combination Enhances Antitumor Activity in Melanoma Associated With the Downregulation of B7‐H3

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Schematic pathway diagram illustrating the effects of JI‐CJ002 and dabrafenib on melanoma progression. The combination of JI‐CJ002 and dabrafenib is associated with reduced B7‐H3 expression and modulation of signaling pathways implicated in melanoma progression, including JAK2/STAT3, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and Rb/E2F1.

Automodification of N‐terminal serine residues facilitates PARP2 release from DNA

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
PARP2 is involved in detecting DNA damage and its N‐terminal role is largely unknown. Based on biochemical and biophysical data, our findings suggest that in the presence of HPF1, N‐terminal serine 8 and 73 are enriched in auto‐ADP‐ribosylation. Our results provide insight into the mechanistic role of PARP2 N‐terminus in the PARylation‐dependent ...
