Molecular Control of the Amount, Subcellular Location and Activity State of Translation Elongation Factor 2 (eEF-2) in Neurons Experiencing Stress [PDF]

, 2013
Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF-2) is an important regulator of the protein translation machinery wherein it controls the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA.

HDL, lipid peroxidation, and atherosclerosis [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Genetic, clinical, and pharmacological studies implicate elevated levels of LDL in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic vascular disease, the leading cause of death in industrialized societies (1). Paradoxically, native LDL fails to exert potentially atherogenic effects in vitro, suggesting that it must be modified to promote vascular disease.

Synthetic Strategy for mRNA Encapsulation and Gene Delivery with Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Frameworks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This research utilizes the ZIF‐8 for the encapsulation and intracellular delivery of nucleic acids, specifically mRNA, for applications in gene delivery. Integrating PEI addresses the issue of mRNA leakage from ZIF‐8, resulting in the delivery and expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in vitro and firefly luciferase in vivo.

Dimethyl Fumarate Alleviates Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colitis, through the Activation of Nrf2-Mediated Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Pathways. [PDF]

, 2020
Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation play critical roles in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). A previous study has demonstrated that dimethyl fumarate (DMF) protects mice from dextran sulfate sodium ...

The mechanism of NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation. The propagation of lipid peroxidation.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1979
NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation occurs in two distinct sequential radical steps. The first step, initiation, is the ADP-perferryl ion-catalyzed formation of low levels of lipid hydroperoxides. The second step, propagation, is the iron-catalyzed breakdown of lipid hydroperoxides formed during initiation generating reactive intermediates and products ...

Differential Compartmentalization of Enzymatic Reactions for Lactate Signaling Across Protocells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Two populations of protocells consisting of giant unilamellar vesicles containing active species and distinct artificial organelles are competent of collective behavior by mimicking production, intercellular communication, and detection of the bioinspired signal molecule lactate. Enzymatic cascade reactions within artificial organelles demonstrate that

Lipid Peroxidation: Pathophysiology and Pharmacological Implications in the Eye

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
Oxygen-derived free radicals such as hydroxyl and hydroperoxyl species have been shown to oxidize phospholipids and other membrane lipid components leading to lipid peroxidation. In the eye, lipid peroxidation has been reported to play an important role

Functional Hydrogel for Modulating Lipid Droplets and Neuroinflammation in Head Injury

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
After TBI, elevated cholesterol levels in activated microglia lead to the accumulation of cholesterol esters in lipid droplets, exacerbating neuroinflammation. A β‐cyclodextrin‐conjugated GelMA (βCD‐GelMA) hydrogel is developed to promotes cholesterol efflux and reduces LDL influx, thereby alleviating intracellular cholesterol and lipid droplet buildup.

Lipid peroxides in patients with inflammatory bowel disease

The Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007
Background/Aims: In this study, we aimed to determine the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to investigate its contribution to tissue injury in IBD. Materials and Methods: Forty-two patients with IBD (24
