Genetic Regulation of Liver Metabolites and Transcripts Linking to Biochemical-Clinical Parameters

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Given the central metabolic role of the liver, hepatic metabolites and transcripts reflect the organismal physiological state. Biochemical-clinical plasma biomarkers, hepatic metabolites, transcripts, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes of

MicroRNAs in blood act as biomarkers of colorectal cancer and indicate potential therapeutic targets

Molecular Oncology, 2021
Association studies have linked alterations of blood‐derived microRNAs (miRNAs) with colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we performed a microarray‐based comparison of the profiles of 2549 miRNAs in 80 blood samples from healthy donors and patients with ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Automatic detection of human gait events: a simple but versatile 3D algorithm

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Background Detecting Foot Strike and Foot Off events in human gait, which is cyclic yet variable, consistently requires expert correction. This subjective correction can reduce spatiotemporal parameters, joint kinematic and kinetic accuracy, regardless ...

MethylToSNP: identifying SNPs in Illumina DNA methylation array data

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2019
Background Current array-based methods for the measurement of DNA methylation rely on the process of sodium bisulfite conversion to differentiate between methylated and unmethylated cytosine bases in DNA.

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

N-Acetylcysteine, N-Acetylcysteine Amide, and Thioredoxin Mimetic Peptides Regenerate Mercaptoalbumin and Exhibit Antioxidant Activity

Antioxidants
Albumin (HSA) is the most abundant circulating protein and plays a pivotal role in maintaining the redox state of the plasma. Three HSA proteoforms have been identified based on the redox state of cysteine 34.

The Caenorhabditis elegans DPF‐3 and human DPP4 have tripeptidyl peptidase activity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) family comprises serine proteases classically defined by their ability to remove dipeptides from the N‐termini of substrates, a feature that gave the family its name. Here, we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized tripeptidyl peptidase activity in DPPIV family members from two different species.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...
