Loss of POGLUT2/3‐mediated O‐glucosylation produces lung and aortic phenotypes reminiscent of fibrillin1 mutants

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fibrillins provide a scaffold for elastic fiber formation, which enables lung recoil and aortic compliance. Abnormal fibrillin microfibrils, as in Marfan syndrome, lead to enlarged alveoli, vascular stiffening, and aneurysms. Our earlier studies suggested that fibrillin function depends on O‐glucosylation of its epidermal growth ...

Sex‐Specific Proteomic Profiling Identifies Pregnancy Zone Protein as a Complement‐Linked Marker of Adverse Prognosis in Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) exhibits marked male predominance with male‐to‐female ratios reaching 8.5:1, yet the molecular basis underlying this sex disparity remains poorly characterized. We analyzed 92 EAC specimens using mass spectrometry–based proteomics, comprising 47 female and 45 male tumors from treatment‐naïve patients ...

Regulatory Effects of Ammonium Chloride in an In Vitro Model of Hepatic Encephalopathy: Mechanisms Involving ACTA2‐Mediated Cytoskeletal Remodeling

iLABMED, EarlyView.
Hyperammonemic stress suppresses ACTA2 expression and induces F‐actin cytoskeletal remodeling in astrocytes. The resulting inhibition of FAK/c‐Src signaling contributes to apoptosis, G2/M arrest, AQP4‐mediated swelling and junction‐associated proteins dysregulation, revealing a central role for ACTA2‐dependent cytoskeletal dysfunction in hepatic ...

Colonic Barrier Dysfunction and Inflammation Induced by Nano‐/Micro‐Plastics Fibers in Mice via the FAK/NF‐κB/iNOS and TLR4/NF‐κB/iNOS Pathways

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As emerging environmental contaminants, nano‐ and micro‐plastics (NMPs) have drawn increasing research attention due to potential hazards to organisms. Particle shape is a key factor influencing the toxic effects of NMPs, and NMPs of different shapes cause varying degrees of tissue damage. We investigated the specific mechanisms of polystyrene
