Therapeutic impact of purified Trichoderma viride l-asparaginase in murine model of liver cancer and in vitro Hep-G2 cell line

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the common cancers, but difficult to diagnose and treat. l-asparaginase has been introduced in the treatment protocol of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) since the 1960s with a good outcome ...

A nanoplatform that induces dual‐amino acid deprivation to reverse tumor immunosuppression and enhance metabolic immunotherapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
ZIF‐8‐based nanoparticles co‐delivering CB‐839 (glutaminase inhibitor) and 1‐MT (IDO1 inhibitor), dual‐targeting glutamine/tryptophan metabolism to induce immunogenic cell death, activate STING, block kynurenine production, reverse immunosuppression, and enhance cancer immunotherapy to suppress primary/distant tumors.

Protein Glutamylation: From Cytoskeleton to Signaling

Med Research, EarlyView.
Tubulin glutamylation, γ‐glutamylation, and nontubulin glutamylation are distinct yet interconnected post‐translational modifications that regulate diverse physiological and pathological processes, including cytoskeletal organization, cell cycle progression, immunity, metabolism, and disease development.

Effect of Salinity Stress on Gut–Brain–Gonad Axis in the Red‐Eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The increase in salinity leads to changes in the gut microbiota and metabolites of Trachemys scripta elegans, affecting the synthesis and secretion of neurotransmitters or precursors, which can inhibit the secretion of reproductive hormones and affect the self‐renewal and differentiation process of spermatogonial stem cells.

Emerging insights into amino acid metabolism in the heart: implications for cardiovascular diseases and therapeutic targeting

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
As a metabolically versatile organ, the heart is capable of generating energy from a wide range of substrates. Although fatty acid and glucose metabolism in the heart have been extensively studied, the contribution of amino acid metabolism to cardiac physiology and disease is gaining increasing attention.

Ammonia Accumulation Drives Intervertebral Disc Degeneration by Triggering Ammonia‐Induced Cell Death Through Lysosome–Mitochondria Crosstalk

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Mechanical strain disrupts the lysosome‐mitochondria axis via GLS1‐mediated ammonia toxicity, causing NP cell death and ECM breakdown in IVDD. CB839‐mediated GLS1 inhibition effectively rescues cellular homeostasis and alleviates disc degeneration.

Phenotypic characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants that alleviate root growth defects in a vitamin B6 biosynthesis mutant

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Vitamin B6 is a critical molecule for plant metabolism and development. Rsr4‐1, a loss‐of‐function mutant in a vitamin B6 biosynthesis gene, has a distinct short root phenotype. Here we describe five novel suppressor mutants with an rsr4‐1 background that have normalized root growth and distinct phenotypic and molecular characteristics, representing a ...

TOP1MT rs2293925 is an enhancer‐active regulatory SNP that shapes mitochondrial R‐loop dynamics

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This study shows how a common genetic variant of mitochondrial topoisomerase 1 (TOP1MT rs2293925) can influence mitochondrial gene regulation, DNA topology, and formation of noncanonical nucleic acid structures such as R‐loops. By linking this enhancer‐active variant to mitochondrial nucleic acid stress in cellular contexts relevant to amyotrophic ...

CD36‐mediated lipid rewiring in the metabolic adaptation of tumour ecosystems

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Nutrient deprivation drives a lipid‐centric shift in tumour metabolic symbiosis and signalling network. CD36 functions as a bidirectional bridge, transferring fatty acids from stromal donors (adipocytes, CAFs) to the ecosystem tumour‐ and microenvironment‐dependently.

Screening of Bacteria Producing Asparaginase Free of Glutaminase and Urease from Hot Springs in West Sulawesi

Biosaintifika: Journal of Biology & Biology Education, 2019
L-asparaginase catalyzes the hydrolysis of asparagine into ammonia and aspartate. It has been used in chemotherapy for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. L-asparaginase presents in animal, plant and microorganism.
