Evaluation of normothermic machine perfusion of porcine livers as a novel preclinical model to predict biliary clearance and transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions using statins [PDF]

, 2021
There is a lack of translational preclinical models that can predict hepatic handling of drugs. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the applicability of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of porcine livers as a novel ex vivo model to predict hepatic ...

Novel Pathways of Oxidative and Nitrosative Inactivation of the Human MGMT Protein in Colon Cancer and Glioblastoma Cells: Increased Efficacy of Alkylating Agents In Vitro and In Vivo

Diseases
Background: O6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a unique antimutagenic DNA repair protein that plays a crucial role in conferring resistance to various alkylating agents in brain tumor therapy.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Hippocampal CaMKII-α β-hydroxybutyrylation induces memory deficits in mice with type 1 diabetes mellitus

Communications Biology
Memory loss is a manifestation of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM)-induced brain damage resulting from hyperglycemia. However, the mechanism underlying T1DM-induced memory deficit remains largely unknown.

The therapeutic opportunities and pitfalls of using iron ion chelators to treat neurodegenerative diseases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Although too much iron in the brain promotes neurodegeneration, iron ion chelators have had mixed effects in clinical trials. This review explains why; some chelators do not render the iron redox‐inactive (e.g., L1) whereas others do (e.g., desferrioxamine).

Computational, In Vitro, and In Vivo Models for Nose-to-Brain Drug Delivery Studies [PDF]

, 2023
Direct nose-to-brain drug delivery offers the opportunity to treat central nervous system disorders more effectively due to the possibility of drug molecules reaching the brain without passing through the blood–brain barrier.

Preclinical pharmacodynamic evaluation of antibiotic nitroxoline for anticancer drug repurposing

Oncology Letters, 2016
The established urinary antibiotic nitroxoline has recently regained considerable attention, due to its potent activities in inhibiting angiogenesis, inducing apoptosis and blocking cancer cell invasion. These features make nitroxoline an excellent candidate for anticancer drug repurposing.

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated
