BPDE induces human trophoblast cell ferroptosis by up-regulating iron metabolism and promoting GPX4 proteasomal degradation

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Human trophoblast cells play important role in embryo-fetal development. However, trophoblast cells are sensitive to environmental carcinogens. Recently, we have discovered that BPDE inhibits trophoblast cell migration, invasion and proliferation, and ...

DELP Treatment on Vision and Retinal Microcirculation in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: Report of Five Cases and Literature Review

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The delipid extracorporeal lipoprotein filter from plasma (DELP) treatment can effectively reduce blood lipid, increase blood flow, and improve neurological deficits in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, its effect on vision and retinal microcirculation in stroke patients has never been reported.

Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.

Pregnancy Outcomes After Higher-Order Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction: A Retrospective Study

International Journal of Clinical Practice
Conclusion: Prevention is the most important measure to decrease the incidence of multiple pregnancies. For higher-order multifetal pregnancies, multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR) is considered a significant remedial measure.

4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

A Cre‐dependent lentiviral vector for neuron subtype‐specific expression of large proteins

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We designed a versatile and modular lentivector comprising a Cre‐dependent switch and self‐cleaving 2A peptide and tested it for co‐expression of GFP and a 2.8 kb gene of interest (GOI) in mouse cortical parvalbumin (PV+) interneurons and midbrain dopamine (TH+) neurons.

Interaction of sperm with endometrium can regulate genes involved in endometrial receptivity pathway in mice: An experimental study

International Journal of Reproductive BioMedicine, 2020
Background: Many researchers consider implantation and endometrial receptivity as pertinent issues in reproductive science. Although, several experiments have been performed and their results evaluated, yet there is no confirmed evidence about the ...

Adenosine‐to‐inosine editing of miR‐200b‐3p is associated with the progression of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
A‐to‐I editing of miRNAs, particularly miR‐200b‐3p, contributes to HGSOC progression by enhancing cancer cell proliferation, migration and 3D growth. The edited form is linked to poorer patient survival and the identification of novel molecular targets.
