PTPRK suppresses progression and chemo‐resistance of colon cancer cells via direct inhibition of pro‐oncogenic CD133

FEBS Open Bio, 2019
Receptor‐type protein tyrosine phosphatase κ (PTPRK) is considered to be a candidate tumor suppressor. PTPRK dephosphorylates CD133, which is a stem cell marker; phosphorylated CD133 accelerates xenograft tumor growth of colon cancer cells through the ...

Low-volume resuscitation with normal saline is associated with microvascular endothelial dysfunction after hemorrhage in rats, compared to colloids and balanced crystalloids

Critical Care, 2017
Background Restoration of endothelial glycocalyx (EG) barrier may be an essential therapeutic target for successful resuscitation. The aim of this study was to compare in vivo the effects of resuscitation with normal saline (NS) to lactated Ringer’s ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

A sophisticated mechanism governs Pol ζ activity in response to replication stress

Nature Communications
DNA polymerase ζ (Pol ζ) plays an essential role in replicating damaged DNA templates but contributes to mutagenesis due to its low fidelity. Therefore, ensuring tight control of Pol ζ’s activity is critical for continuous and accurate DNA replication ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Osmotic disruption of chromatin induces Topoisomerase 2 activity at sites of transcriptional stress

Nature Communications
Transcription generates superhelical stress in DNA that poses problems for genome stability, but determining when and where such stress arises within chromosomes is challenging. Here, using G1-arrested S.

Animal experiments and network pharmacology to explore the anti-inflammatory mechanism of dapagliflozin in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome

Gynecological Endocrinology
Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder associated with chronic low-grade inflammation of the ovary. Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a class of antidiabetic drugs that can reduce the

PARP3 is a sensor of nicked nucleosomes and monoribosylates histone H2BGlu2

Nature Communications, 2016
Chromosomal single-strand DNA breaks occur frequently and require repair to avoid disease outcomes. Here, the authors show that in bird cells, PARP3 accelerates this repair, and use structural biology and cell biology techniques to reveal details of the ...
