UTX Responds to Nanotopography to Suppress Macrophage Inflammatory Response by Remodeling H3K27me3 Modification

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared with those on the pTi surface, macrophages on the TNTs surface present reduced myosin II contractility, which facilitates the nuclear translocation of the UTX. This reduction decreases the enrichment of the repressive H3K27me3 histone modification at the Abca1 gene locus, which promotes the transcription and protein expression of ABCA1 ...

Actin Filaments Affect on Not Only Elasticity But Also Late Viscous Response in Stress Relaxation of Single Isolated Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2007
The stress relaxation test was performed for cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) to investigate the effect of actin filaments (AFs) on viscoelastic properties of the cells. Untreated cells and cells treated with cytochalasin D to disrupt their

The repetitive domain of ScARP3d triggers entry of Spiroplasma citri into cultured cells of the vector Circulifer haematoceps. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Spiroplasma citri is a plant pathogenic mollicute transmitted by the leafhopper vector Circulifer haematoceps. Successful transmission requires the spiroplasmas to cross the intestinal epithelium and salivary gland barriers through endocytosis mediated ...

Actin cytoskeleton-dependent regulation of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor heteromers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Stress responses are highly nuanced and variable, but how this diversity is achieved by modulating receptor function is largely unknown. Corticotropin-releasing factor receptors (CRFRs), class B G protein–coupled receptors, are pivotal in mediating ...

Actin microfilaments, cell shape, and secretory processes in isolated rat hepatocytes. Effect of phalloidin and cytochalasin D

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1979
The effects of phalloidin and cytochalasin D, drugs which, respectively, stabilize and destabilize actin microfilaments, have been tested on isolated rat hepatocytes.

Observations on the Effects of Cytochalasin B and Cytochalasin D on ADP- and Chymotrypsin-Treated Platelets

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1984
Cytochalasin B has been reported to inhibit fibrinogen binding and aggregation of rabbit platelets in response to ADP. The present study was designed to ascertain whether cytochalasins B and D inhibit aggregation by interfering with the exposure of fibrinogen receptors or more directly by inhibiting binding to available receptors.

Disruption of actin microfilaments by cytochalasin D leads to activation of p53 [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1998
Activation of p53 plays a central role in the cell's response to various stress signals. We investigated whether p53 is activated upon disruption of actin microfilaments, caused by cytochalasin D (CD). We show that treatment with CD leads to accumulation of p53 in the cells and activation of p53‐dependent transcription.

Construction of Active Sites‐Accessible Au8 Clusters for Intensive Tumor Pyroptosis

open access: yesAggregate, EarlyView.
Ethynylferrocene (EFc) was utilized to engineer molecular‐like gold nanoclusters (NCs) with accessibly catalytic centers, resulting in NCs exhibiting excellent peroxidase‐like activity and the ability to radiosensitize, leading to the production of intracellular oxidative stress and activation of pyroptosis.

PHYTOTOXIC CONSTITUENTS FROM ENDOPHYTIC FUNGUS Xylaria cubensis ASSOCIATED WITH Eugenia brasiliensis

open access: yesQuímica Nova
The upscaling of Xylaria cubensis, an endophyte of Eugenia brasiliensis (Myrtaceae), in PDB medium led to the isolation of known compounds including cytochalasin D (7) and cytochalasin C (8), which exhibited relatively higher phytotoxic activity in all ...

Commensal Bacteria-Induced Inflammasome Activation in Mouse and Human Macrophages Is Dependent on Potassium Efflux but Does Not Require Phagocytosis or Bacterial Viability. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Gut commensal bacteria contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease, in part by activating the inflammasome and inducing secretion of interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß).
