Construction of Triphenylamine-Based Aggregation-Induced Emission Luminogens for Lysosomes Imaging and Its Application in the Photodynamic Therapy of Cancer Cells

open access: yesMolecules
Lysosomes are important acidic subcellular organelles whose dysfunction can lead to some related diseases. The development of new lysosome-imaging-guided AIEgens for the photodynamic therapy of cancer cells is important.

Cellular Bioreactivity of Micro- and Nano-Plastic Particles in Oysters

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
The global usage of plastics has increased dramatically over the last several decades. Polystyrene (PS) is the fourth most common plastic material produced annually due to its many versatile applications.

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Lysosomes as Targets for Cancer Therapy

open access: yes, 2005
Tumor invasion and metastasis are associated with altered lysosomal trafficking and increased expression of the lysosomal proteases termed cathepsins. Emerging experimental evidence suggests that such alterations in lysosomes may form an “Achilles heel ...

PLEKHM1 Overexpression Impairs Autophagy and Exacerbates Neurodegeneration in rAAV-α-Synuclein Mice

open access: yesCells
The aggregation of α-synuclein (αSyn) is a central feature of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies. The efficient clearance of αSyn depends largely on the autophagy–lysosomal pathway.

Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase 7 impairs lysophagy in LLOMe‐treated HepG2 cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
DPP7 inhibition delays ubiquitin‐dependent lysophagy by attenuating ubiquitin accumulation and the recruitment of SQSTM1 and LC3 to damaged lysosomes, resulting in delayed clearance of damaged lysosomes and impaired restoration of lysosomal homeostasis. Created using FigureLabs (Certificate ID: FL‐PUB‐20260922‐Z99XNX).

Analysis of protein transport to lysosomes

open access: yes, 2005
Lysosomes are terminal degradative organelles that are found in all higher eukaryotic cells. The biogenesis of lysosomes involves the transport of various acid hydrolases and transmembrane glycoproteins from their site of synthesis in the endoplasmic ...

Deciphering α-L-Fucosidase Activity Contribution in Human and Mouse: Tissue α-L-Fucosidase FUCA1 Meets Plasma α-L-Fucosidase FUCA2

open access: yesCells
Fucose-containing glycoproteins and glycolipids broadly occur in humans as well as in many other species and are essential for a wide range of physiological processes, such as cell adhesion, fertilization, and tumor development.

Lysosomal Proteomics Links Disturbances in Lipid Homeostasis and Sphingolipid Metabolism to CLN5 Disease

open access: yesCells, 2022
CLN5 disease (MIM: 256731) represents a rare late-infantile form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL), caused by mutations in the CLN5 gene that encodes the CLN5 protein (CLN5p), whose physiological roles stay unanswered.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
