The intestinal microbiota in health and disease [PDF]

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2012
The indigenous gut microbiota has been shown to be a key player in maintaining gastrointestinal homeostasis. This review discusses some of the recent work that reveals how the gut microbiome helps establish and protect intestinal health and how disturbances in this microbial community can lead to disease states.The use of culture-independent methods ...

Early diagnosis and follow-up of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis in infant siblings presenting with congenital diarrhea: A case study from Saudi Arabia

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive neurometabolic genetic disease resulting from defects in the bile acid metabolism. This report describes cases diagnosed with CTX at an exceptionally early age – 4 months (Patient #2 and #

Plecstatin inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and invasion through cytolinker plectin

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The ruthenium‐based metallodrug plecstatin exerts its anticancer effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) primarily through selective targeting of plectin. By disrupting plectin‐mediated cytoskeletal organization, plecstatin inhibits anchorage‐dependent growth, cell polarization, and tumor cell dissemination.

Dammarenediol II enhances etoposide‐induced apoptosis by targeting O‐GlcNAc transferase and Akt/GSK3β/mTOR signaling in liver cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Etoposide induces DNA damage, activating p53‐dependent apoptosis via caspase‐3/7, which cleaves PARP1. Dammarenediol II enhances this apoptotic pathway by suppressing O‐GlcNAc transferase activity, further decreasing O‐GlcNAcylation. The reduction in O‐GlcNAc levels boosts p53‐driven apoptosis and influences the Akt/GSK3β/mTOR signaling pathway ...

Stress, Inflammation and the Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1999
Studies in animals have shown that inflammation of the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract is accompanied by changes in enteric nerve and smooth muscle function, and in gut motility and sensation.

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Exploring the genomic traits of infant-associated microbiota members from a Zimbabwean cohort

BMC Genomics
Introduction Our understanding of particular gut microbiota members such as Bifidobacterium and Enterococcus in low-middle-income countries remains very limited, particularly early life strain-level beneficial traits.
