Differences in mRNA Expression of Selected Cytochrome P450, Transporters and Nuclear Receptors Among Various Rat Models of Metabolic Syndrome

open access: yesBasic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 137, Issue 2, August 2025.
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of several factors, which lead to a higher risk of cardiovascular and other diseases. To study MetS, its mechanisms and means to alleviate complications associated with it, there is a demand for suitable animal models and their strains.

Role for the liver X receptor agonist 22‐ketositosterol in preventing disease progression in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 16, Page 3744-3766, August 2025.
Background and Purpose Liver X receptors (LXRs) are promising therapeutic targets for alleviating Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms. We assessed the impact of the semi‐synthetic LXR agonist 22‐ketositosterol on disease progression in an AD mouse model.

Cathepsin B modulates lysosomal biogenesis and host defense against Francisella novicida infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Lysosomal cathepsins regulate an exquisite range of biological functions, and their deregulation is associated with inflammatory, metabolic, and degenerative diseases in humans.

Efficient gene targeting by homologous recombination in rat embryonic stem cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
The rat is the preferred experimental animal in many biological studies. With the recent derivation of authentic rat embryonic stem (ES) cells it is now feasible to apply state-of-the art genetic engineering in this species using homologous recombination.

Unlocking the power of immune checkpoint inhibitors: Targeting YAP1 reduces anti‐PD1 resistance in skin cutaneous melanoma

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 16, Page 3903-3922, August 2025.
Abstract Background and Purpose Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti­PD1, revolutionized melanoma treatment. However, resistance and low response rates remain problems. Our goal was to pinpoint actionable biomarkers of resistance to anti‐PD1 treatment and verify therapeutic effectiveness in vivo.

Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome: Evaluation of a Modified Bite Device to Prevent Bite Injuries

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS) is a serious form of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) deficiency, a hereditary purine metabolism disorder. The prevalence reported in the literature is 1/380,000 to 235,000 births.

Differential changes in anatomical, molecular and functional determinants of intestinal glucose absorption during murine pregnancy

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 15, August 2025.
Abstract Pregnancy demands increased food intake and nutrient delivery to support the growing conceptus. The timing and regional specificity of adaptations in small intestinal (SI) anatomy and transport, and their functional consequences, remain unclear. We therefore assessed anatomy and expression of macronutrient transporters in the duodenum, jejunum,

Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) Induces Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP)-I and Procalcitonin (Pro-CT) Production in Human Adipocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Context: Increased plasma levels of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), calcitonin CT gene-related peptide (CGRP)-I, and procalcitonin (Pro-CT) are associated with obesity.

On subcellular distribution of the zinc finger 469 protein (ZNF469) and observed discrepancy in the localization of endogenous and overexpressed ZNF469

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1054-1067, July 2025.
ZNF469 regulates the expression of genes encoding extracellular matrix proteins. Endogenous ZNF469 is predominantly cytoplasmic, while in transfected cells, it forms aggregates reminiscent of biomolecular condensates, located mainly in the nucleus. These condensates exhibit overlapping staining with proteasomes and are also associated with the mitotic ...
