Functional Characterization of 5-Oxoproline Transport via SLC16A1/MCT1 [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone is a tripeptide that consists of 5-oxoproline, histidine, and proline. The peptide is rapidly metabolized by various enzymes. 5-Oxoproline is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis in a variety of peptides. Previous studies showed that 5-oxoproline could become a possible biomarker for autism spectrum disorders.

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.

MCT1‐mediated bidirectional propionate transport across human placental syncytiotrophoblast layer: insights from a trophoblast stem cell‐derived barrier model

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Propionate in the fetal circulation is thought to originate from fermentation of dietary fibre by the maternal gut microbiota. However, the mechanism of transplacental transport has remained unclear. Here, we measured propionate permeability using a placental barrier model generated by differentiating human placental trophoblast ...

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Diving into the unknown: Evidence of enhanced skeletal muscle lactate efflux potential and blood–muscle exchange in competitive breath‐hold divers

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Competitive breath‐hold divers exhibit skeletal muscle characteristics indicative of enhanced blood‐muscle exchange capacity and increased lactate efflux potential. Top left: Participant characteristics, matched for age, height, body mass, and maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max${\dot{\mathrm{V}}}\rm{O}_{\rm{2max}}$).

Knockdown of Mct1 in the arcuate nucleus increases food-anticipatory activity in mice

Frontiers in Physiology
Animals rely on internal time-keeping mechanisms to anticipate regular events such as feeding, allowing preemptive gene expression which enables timely physiological responses. A manifestation of anticipatory mechanisms is also a rise in body temperature

Unveiling the Functional Role of KIF21B in Microglia Inflammatory Response

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.
Microglia express KIF21B in both sexes. KIF21B binds to microglia cytoskeleton; inflammation alters such interaction promoting a phagocytic state in females. In male microglia KIF21B modulates migration. ABSTRACT Microglia are brain immune cells that maintain homeostasis and respond to injury, changing cell morphology to drive inflammation, migration ...

A SLC16A1 Mutation in an Infant With Ketoacidosis and Neuroimaging Assessment: Expanding the Clinical Spectrum of MCT1 Deficiency

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019
The solute carrier family 16 member 1 (SLC16A1) gene encodes for monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) that mediates the movement of monocarboxylates, such as lactate and pyruvate across cell membranes.

Surviving the Nucleus Pulposus Desert: Next‐Generation Strategies for Intervertebral Disc Cell Therapy

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACTBackgroundLow back pain remains the leading cause of disability worldwide, with intervertebral disc degeneration representing a major biological contributor. Although cell‐based therapies have shown promise in preclinical models, clinical translation has yielded modest and inconsistent outcomes.

Tributyltin Protumorigenic Effects Targeting Prostate Cancer Cell Metabolism, Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 9, Page 709-729, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is an endocrine‐related cancer highly dependent on androgenic signaling. Beyond hormone dependence, extrinsic factors play a significant role in the risk of developing PCa, which raises concern about the influence of environmental compounds such as endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Tributyltin (TBT) is an EDC used in
