Diacerein Disrupts Testicular Homeostasis: The Essential Role of Basal Cytokines in Maintaining Sertoli Cell Integrity and the Immune Microenvironment

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pro‐inflammatory cytokines, TNF and IL‐1B, are essential for testicular homeostasis. Diacerein, an anti‐inflammatory drug, inhibits these cytokines, impairing M2 macrophages and Leydig cells (LCs). However, its impact on Sertoli cells (SCs) and M1 (CD68) macrophages remains unknown.

Nonstructural protein 5A of hepatitis C virus inhibits the function of karyopherin beta 3

open access: yes, 2019
It has been suggested that nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) plays a role in the incapacitation of interferon by inactivation of RNA-dependent protein kinase PKR.

Recognition of nuclear targeting signals by Karyopherin-β proteins [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology, 2010
The Karyopherin-β family of nuclear transport factors mediates the majority of nucleocytoplasmic transport. Although each of the 19 Karyopherin-βs transports unique sets of cargos, only three classes of nuclear localization and export signals, or NLSs and NESs, have been characterized. The short basic classical-NLS was first discovered in the 1980s and

Resolving conformational changes in FG nucleoporins due to multivalent Karyopherin binding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a huge macromolecular assembly that selectively regulates the exchange of cargo between the nuclear and the cytoplasmic compartment in a cell.

Cloning and characterization of the tomato karyopherin α1 gene promoter [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopment, Growth & Differentiation, 2004
The karyopherin α1 (LeKAPα 1) gene of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) encodes a receptor involved in nuclear import. To analyze the expression pattern of this gene, a genomic clone containing its upstream region was isolated and sequenced. To study the promoter functionality, a 2170 bp fragment (LM1), was fused to glucuronidase (GUS) and introduced ...

Structural basis for nuclear import of adeno-associated virus serotype 6 capsid protein

open access: yesJournal of Virology
Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are the most extensively researched viral vectors for gene therapy globally. The AAV viral protein 1 (VP1) N-terminus controls the capsid’s ability to translocate into the cell nucleus; however, the exact mechanism of this

Extracellular Vesicles as Drivers of Lung Endothelial Dysfunction in ARDS: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review summarizes how extracellular vesicles from diverse pulmonary and extrapulmonary sources contribute to endothelial dysfunction in ARDS and evaluates emerging endothelial‐targeted therapies for their potential to mitigate EV‐mediated pathogenic mechanisms.

Identifying a novel region in the Tembusu virus NS5 protein antagonizing type I interferon signaling

open access: yesJournal of Virology
Numerous species in the genus Flavivirus have been identified to pose serious threats to public health. Most of them have developed evasion strategies to counteract antiviral activity triggered by type I interferon (IFN-I), making prevention and control ...

Putting things in place for fertilization: discovering roles for importin proteins in cell fate and spermatogenesis

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2015
Importin proteins were originally characterized for their central role in protein transport through the nuclear pores, the only intracellular entry to the nucleus.
