Oleanolic acid blocks the purine salvage pathway for cancer therapy by inactivating SOD1 and stimulating lysosomal proteolysis

Molecular Therapy: Oncolytics, 2021
Metabolic reprogramming is a core hallmark of cancer and is key for tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Investigation of metabolic perturbation by anti-cancer compounds would allow a thorough understanding of the underlying mechanisms of these agents ...

TRP canonical 4 and/or 5 channel inhibition reduces aversion‐ and increases reward‐responding in chronically stressed mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Pharmacological inhibition of TRPC4 and/or TRPC5 channels reduces Pavlovian aversion memory in stressed mice and reduces amygdala reactivity to aversion in humans with depression. The aims of this mouse study were to improve understanding of these anxiolytic processes, determine whether there are corrective effects on ...

Nucleosided derived antibiotics to fight microbial drug resistance: New utilities for an established class of drugs? [PDF]

, 2016
Novel antibiotics are urgently needed to combat the rise of infections due to drug-resistant microorganisms. Numerous natural nucleosides and their synthetically modified analogues have been reported to have moderate to good antibiotic activity against ...

Aquaporin‐1, aquaporin‐3 and aquaporin‐5 differentially modulate cell biophysical and biomechanical properties, impacting cell stiffness and cell–cell adhesion

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
GA text Overexpression of aquaporins AQP1, AQP3, or AQP5 in HEK‐293 T cells induced changes in cell biophysical properties and migration. Atomic force microscopy (AFM)–based force spectroscopy studies demonstrated that AQP1 overexpression increased cell stiffness and cell–cell adhesion, AQP3 augmented cell stiffness but reduced cell–cell adhesion ...

Falling from grace: HPRT is not suitable as an endogenous control for cancer-related studies

Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2019
HPRT is a housekeeping enzyme involved in recycling guanine and inosine in the purine salvage pathway. As a housekeeping gene, HPRT has been widely used as an endogenous control for molecular studies evaluating changes in gene expression.

Enhanced in vivo osteogenesis by nanocarrier-fused bone morphogenetic protein-4 [PDF]

, 2013
Purpose: Bone defects and nonunions are major clinical skeletal problems. Growth factors are commonly used to promote bone regeneration; however, the clinical impact is limited because the factors do not last long at a given site.

Achilles tenocytes from diabetic and non diabetic donors exposed to hyperglycemia respond differentially to inflammatory stimuli and stretch

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Scheme depicting the experimental set up of the study. Achilles tendons and tenocytes were isolated from heterozygous (fa/+, non diabetic: non DMT2) and homozygous (fa/fa, diabetic: DMT2) Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats. Tendon degeneration, collagen type 1 alpha 1 chain (COL1A1) and alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA) expression was determined in rat ...

The housekeeping gene hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) regulates multiple developmental and metabolic pathways of murine embryonic stem cell neuronal differentiation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The mechanisms by which mutations of the purinergic housekeeping gene hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) cause the severe neurodevelopmental Lesch Nyhan Disease (LND) are poorly understood.

PLK4 is a potential therapeutic target in nonmelanoma skin cancers: Evidence from molecular and in vivo studies

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation is the main etiologic driver of nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), including basal cell (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC), which are the most prevalent types of cancers in the US. In this study, we demonstrate that the serine/threonine kinase Polo‐like kinase 4 (PLK4) is overexpressed in NMSCs ...

Hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase 1, a target of miR-125b-5p, promotes cell proliferation and invasion in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Heliyon, 2023
The mechanism of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1) upregulation and its function in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains obscure.
