FK506 contributes to peripheral nerve regeneration by inhibiting neuroinflammatory responses and promoting neuron survival

Neural Regeneration Research
FK506 (Tacrolimus) is a systemic immunosuppressant approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. FK506 has been shown to promote peripheral nerve regeneration, however, its precise mechanism of action and its pathways remain unclear.

The Calcineurin Inhibitor FK506 Prevents Cognitive Impairment by Inhibiting Reactive Astrogliosis in Pilocarpine-Induced Status Epilepticus Rats

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Status epilepticus (SE) is a severe clinical manifestation of epilepsy accompanying with cognitive impairment and brain damage. Astrocyte activation occurs following seizures and plays an important role in epilepsy-induced pathological injury, including ...

Trackable Tolerogenic Macrophages Integrate PD‐L1 and Rapamycin Signaling to Suppress Alloimmune Responses in Transplantation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We developed a macrophage‐based therapeutic platform, termed trackable tolerogenic macrophages (TTM), for dual‐function immunomodulation and visualization in vivo. TTM cells were engineered to overexpress PD‐L1, incorporate bioorthogonal cell surface tags, and load rapamycin for sustained release.

Atrial fibrillation and electrophysiology in transgenic mice with cardiac-restricted overexpression of FKBP12 [PDF]

, 2019
Cardiomyocyte-restricted overexpression of FK506-binding protein 12 transgenic (αMyHC-FKBP12) mice develop spontaneous atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of the present study is to explore the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of AF in αMyHC-FKBP12 ...

Sensing and Reprogramming Surface Receptor Activation With Synthetic Transcriptional Circuits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A synthetic receptor‐signalling induced transcription (RESIT) circuit is designed based on receptor activation mediated split protease complementation and release of membrane‐tethered synthetic transcriptional modules. The RESIT system enables probing Ca2+ entry, receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activities and Ras activation, and reprogramming RTK ...

Next Generation Hosts for Protein Recognition, Assembly and More

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The original design of synthetic receptors for proteins was based on macrocycles with a hydrophobic core and a polar/charged periphery. This design, geared towards protein recognition, facilitates receptor self‐assembly. Macrocycle oligomerization, in turn, contributes to protein assembly as evidenced in many cocrystal structures.

Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases (immunophilins) and their roles in parasite biochemistry, host-parasite interaction and antiparasitic drug action. [PDF]

, 2006
Immunophilin is the collective name given to the cyclophilin and FK506-binding protein (FKBP) families. As the name suggests, these include the major binding proteins of certain immunosuppressive drugs: cyclophilins for the cyclic peptide cyclosporin A ...
