Protective Role for Itaconate During Inhaled Allergen Challenge

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Itaconate levels decrease in sputum following allergen inhalation in mild asthmatics, suggesting a dynamic metabolic response to airway challenge. Genetic deletion of Acod1 in mice did not alter airway inflammation or remodelling in response to chronic HDM exposure.

Enhanced mitochondrial respiration in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from young children with overweight/obesity and insulin resistance

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.
We investigated measures of mitochondrial function in certain types of blood cells and metabolism in 65 children, 5–10 years old. Compared to children of normal weight (n = 20), children with overweight/obesity (n = 28) and especially those with insulin resistance (n = 17), differed in how their cells produced energy.

Comprehensive Profile of Acute Mitochondrial Dysfunction in a Preclinical Model of Severe Penetrating TBI

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2019
Mitochondria constitute a central role in brain energy metabolism, and play a pivotal role in the development of secondary pathophysiology and subsequent neuronal cell death following traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Combating muscle atrophy: emerging therapeutic targets that are fiber‐type‐specific

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Inflammation, denervation or decreased insulin signaling activate proteolysis and cause muscle wasting. Pathological conditions like obesity and DMD can also exacerbate atrophy via PGD2–RhoA–ROCK2 signaling. In contrast, exercise, dietary interventions, and pharmacological agents can activate Ca2+/calcineurin–NFAT and AMPK–PGC‐1α–MEF pathways ...

Liver dehydrogenase levels in rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri, fed cyclopropenoid fatty acids and aflatoxin B1

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1973
Cyclopropenoid fatty acids in the diet of rainbow trout caused significant reductions in liver protein and activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase.

A short peptide derived from late embryogenesis abundant proteins enhances acid tolerance in Escherichia coli via modulation of two‐component regulatory systems

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Expression of the LEA‐K peptide in E. coli BL21 (DE3) improved bacterial viability under acidic stress (pH4), suggesting a protective function. RNA‐sequencing of LEA‐K‐expressing vs. non‐expressing cells revealed 283 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). In silico docking linked LEA‐K to two‐component systems (TCS) proteins (Rcs, BtsS/R, and EnvZ/OmpR)

Cryptic CAM photosynthesis in Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia, Y. jaegeriana)

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Joshua trees are long‐lived perennial monocots native to the Mojave Desert in North America. Composed of two species, Yucca brevifolia and Y. jaegeriana (Asparagaceae), Joshua trees are imperiled by climate change, with decreases in suitable habitat predicted under future climate change scenarios.

Plasmids in the aphid endosymbiont Buchnera aphidicola with the smallest genomes. A puzzling evolutionary story.

open access: yes, 2006
Buchnera aphidicola, the primary endosymbiont of aphids, has undergone important genomic and biochemical changes as an adaptation to intracellular life.

Guard cell starch and malate metabolism facilitate stomatal opening in response to low CO2

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Guard cells adjust turgor to regulate stomatal aperture, integrating ion transport with metabolic adjustments. The effect of reduced CO2 on stomatal movement, expected under enhanced photosynthesis, remains largely unexplored. We exposed Arabidopsis thaliana plants to low CO2 before light onset and analyzed guard cell starch turnover, malate ...
