Kinetoplast DNA: A Promising Drug Target for Treatment of Leishmaniasis

Journal of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 2020
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne zoonotic disease caused by various species of the genus Leishmania, (trypanosomatidae family) that is transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies.

Inhibition of late sodium current prevents pathological hyperactivation of calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase IIδ in a murine model of acute doxorubicin‐related cardiotoxicity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Doxorubicin (DOX) is a highly effective anthracycline, whose clinical application for cancer is limited by cardiotoxicity. The mechanisms underlying doxorubicin‐induced toxic cardiomyopathy (DICM) involve electrophysiological remodelling with intracellular Na+ overload because of increased late INa and hyperactivation of

sGC stimulator BAY 41‐8543 improves survival and ventricular function in a rat model of doxorubicin‐induced cardiomyopathy with nephrotic syndrome

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Anthracyclines such as doxorubicin (DOXO) remain a cornerstone of cancer therapy but are associated with a high risk of cardiotoxicity and subsequent heart failure (HF). Impairment of NO/soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cGMP pathway has been reported in anthracycline‐induced cardiomyopathy.

Heart failure medication to prevent cancer therapy–related cardiac dysfunction: A narrative review

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Advances in oncological therapies have improved cancer survival but also have increased the clinical incidence of cancer therapy–related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD), a spectrum of conditions ranging from subclinical biomarker or strain abnormalities to progressive heart failure and cardiogenic shock.

Metabolic remodelling in anthracycline cardiotoxicity: mechanisms and therapeutic insights

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cardiac metabolic remodelling in anthracycline‐induced cardiomyopathy and metabolically oriented cardioprotective strategies. Schematic representation of substrate utilization, mitochondrial bioenergetic function and metabolic flexibility in the healthy heart, in anthracycline‐induced cardiomyopathy and under potential cardioprotective interventions ...

Role of Supercoiling and Topoisomerases in DNA Knotting

DNA
DNA knots are deleterious for living cells if not removed. Several theoretical and simulation approaches address the question of how topoisomerases select the intermolecular passages that preferentially lead to unknotting rather than to the knotting of ...

Human APOBEC3G suppresses homologous recombination and LIG4‐independent end joining in DNA double‐strand break repair

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Chromosomal DNA double‐strand breaks (DSBs) are repaired by homologous recombination and nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). Recent work has additionally established theta‐mediated end‐joining (TMEJ) as a mechanism for DSB joining. Cells lacking NHEJ and TMEJ can repair DSBs in a homology‐dependent manner.

TOP1MT rs2293925 is an enhancer‐active regulatory SNP that shapes mitochondrial R‐loop dynamics

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This study shows how a common genetic variant of mitochondrial topoisomerase 1 (TOP1MT rs2293925) can influence mitochondrial gene regulation, DNA topology, and formation of noncanonical nucleic acid structures such as R‐loops. By linking this enhancer‐active variant to mitochondrial nucleic acid stress in cellular contexts relevant to amyotrophic ...

Ploidy‐dependent modulation of DNA replication kinetics in Xenopus

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Using an interspecies replication system with Xenopus frog species of different ploidy levels, we investigated how DNA replication adapts to polyploidization. While replication was slower in tetraploid than in diploid nuclei, dodecaploid nuclei unexpectedly replicated faster than tetraploid nuclei. Our findings show that increasing genome size does not
