Metabolism, Transport and Drug–Drug Interactions of Silymarin [PDF]
Molecules, 2019 Silymarin, the extract of milk thistle, and its major active flavonolignan silybin, are common products widely used in the phytotherapy of liver diseases. They also have promising effects in protecting the pancreas, kidney, myocardium, and the central nervous system.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

eLife, 2020 Mutations in the Trypanosoma brucei aquaporin AQP2 are associated with resistance to pentamidine and melarsoprol. We show that TbAQP2 but not TbAQP3 was positively selected for increased pore size from a common ancestor aquaporin.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Distinguishing Molecular Properties of OAT, OATP, and MRP Drug Substrates by Machine Learning
PharmaceuticsThe movement of organic anionic drugs across cell membranes is partly governed by interactions with SLC and ABC transporters in the intestine, liver, kidney, blood–brain barrier, placenta, breast, and other tissues.

Transporters involved in hepatobiliary transport of drugs.
Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 2010 近年，ヒト肝臓において非常に多くのトランスポーターが同定・機能解析されるにつれて，トランスポーターの遺伝子多型や薬物間相互作用による機能変動が薬物動態に与える影響を明らかにするための臨床研究も続々と報告されてきている．それに伴い，異物解毒システムの中でのトランスポーターの重要性が広く認知されてきた．代謝によって消失すると考えられてきた薬物の中にも肝取り込みトランスポーターの基質が含まれていることが明らかとなり，取り込みトランスポーターの機能変動が薬物動態の変化につながる事例が複数報告されてきている．本稿では，ヒト肝臓に発現する主な薬物トランスポーターを紹介すると共に，これらの遺伝子多型・薬物間相互作用が薬物動態や薬効・副作用に与える影響について概説することを目指した．

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

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.
