High‐yield identification of pathogenic NF1 variants by skin fibroblast transcriptome screening after apparently normal diagnostic DNA testing

Human Mutation, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 2130-2140, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is caused by inactivating mutations in NF1. Due to the size, complexity, and high mutation rate at the NF1 locus, the identification of causative variants can be challenging. To obtain a molecular diagnosis in 15 individuals meeting diagnostic criteria for NF1, we performed transcriptome analysis (RNA‐seq) on RNA

Dynamic Plasma Membrane Topography Linked With Arp2/3 Actin Network Induction During Cell Shape Change

BioEssays, EarlyView.
Cell shape changes underlie animal development, physiology, and disease. The cell surface is mechanosensitive to the microenvironment and cytoskeleton activities, which generate plasma membrane topographies recognized and affected by Arp2/3 actin network induction pathways to remodel cell shape during immune cell migration, neural progenitor cell ...

Dynamic Remodeling of Mechano‐Sensing Complexes in Suspended Fibroblast Cell‐Sheets Under External Mechanical Stimulus

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
A cell‐sheet prepared from NIH 3T3 cells was sustained by a pair of glass microneedles above a glass‐bottom dish under the spinning disc confocal microscope equipped with a dual‐view system (left). The cell‐sheet was mechanically stretched by moving one of the microneedles away from the other and the locations of proteins related to focal adhesion were

Structures and functions of cilia during vertebrate embryo development

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 89, Issue 12, Page 579-596, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Cilia are hair‐like structures that project from the surface of cells. In vertebrates, most cells have an immotile primary cilium that mediates cell signaling, and some specialized cells assemble one or multiple cilia that are motile and beat synchronously to move fluids in one direction.

Effects of Polyphenolic Extracts From Sumac, Pomegranate Peel, Indian Almond Leaves, Falsa, and Banana Bracts on Calcium Oxalate and Brushite Crystallization In Vitro

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Polyphenolic extracts and their fractions from five plant sources inhibit calcium oxalate and brushite crystal formation in vitro, with non‐anthocyanin fractions showing stronger anti‐lithogenic effects supported by molecular docking. ABSTRACT Nephrolithiasis, or kidney stone formation, is a widespread global health concern.

Impact of Mutational Status on Intracellular Effects of Cell‐Permeable CaaX Peptides in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
This work deals with intracellular effects of cell‐permeable CaaX‐peptides, designed to influence prenylated proteins like KRas. The results show that after CaaX‐1 treatment, not only KRas expression and signaling are specifically altered in mutated pancreatic cancer cells, but also plasma membrane localization of KRas is affected.

Maintaining the Integral Membrane Proteome: Revisiting the Functional Repertoire of Integral Membrane Proteases

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Regulated intramembrane proteolysis is crucial for functional proteome in all kingdoms of life. The task of cleaving transmembrane proteins within the unique environment of the lipid bilayer presents biochemical challenges that has been solved by integral membrane proteases (IMPRs).

First Steps toward the Design of Peptides that Influence the Intracellular Palmitoylation Machinery

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Herein, DC peptides consisting of the cell‐penetrating peptide sC18* and a Asp–His–His–Cys (DHHC) motif derived from human ZDHHC palmitoyltransferase are highlighted. DC peptides demonstrate high cellular internalization into various cellular models, exert cytotoxic effects against cancerous cells, and alter the function and localization of known ...

A Proteomics Profiling Reveals the Neuroprotective Effects of Melatonin on Exogenous β‐amyloid‐42 Induced Mitochondrial Impairment, Intracellular β‐amyloid Accumulation and Tau Hyperphosphorylation in Human SH‐SY5Y Cells

Cell Biology International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is prevalent in the elderly population and characterized by the intracellular accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), composed of tau proteins, and extracellular deposition of beta‐amyloid protein (Aβ). The present study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of melatonin on Aβ42‐induced AD‐like ...
