Combinatorial targeting of G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 and cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 reveals a mechanistic role for bile acids and leukotrienes in drug‐induced liver injury

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
CHIN117 is a dual cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CYSLTR1) antagonist and G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) agonist. In the liver, GPBAR1 and CYSLTR1 are coexpressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), HSCs, circulating monocytes/macrophages, and liver resident macrophages (Kupffer cells).

Bacterial metallothioneins [PDF]

Postępy Mikrobiologii - Advancements of Microbiology, 2017
Abstract Heavy metals are found in all living organisms where, as indispensable microelements (e.g. zinc, iron, copper), are involved in endless metabolic processes. However, living organisms are also at a risk of exposure to highly toxic metals, including cadmium or lead, which do not play any physiological role.

Metallothionein: An overview [PDF]

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007
Metallothioneins (MTs) were discovered in 1957 by Margoshes and Vallee and identified as low-molecular weight and sulphydryl rich proteins. It is not surprising that most mammalian tissues contain age related basal levels of MTs since they are involved in metalloregulatory processes that include cell growth and multiplication.

Metallothionein

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1987
Early research on metallothionein centered on aspects related to a detoxification role. As our understanding of the complex endocrine control that regulates metallothionein gene expression increases, a wider appreciation of a functional role(s) is emerging.

The Evolution of Insect Metallothioneins [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020
ABSTRACT Metallothioneins (MTs) are a family of cysteine-rich metal-binding proteins that are important in the chelating and detoxification of toxic heavy metals. Until now, the short length and the low sequence complexity of MTs has hindered the possibility of any phylogenetic reconstruction, hampering the study of ...

Copper metallothioneins [PDF]

IUBMB Life, 2017
AbstractMetallothioneins (MTs) are a class of low molecular weight and cysteine‐rich metal binding proteins present in all the branches of the tree of life. MTs efficiently bind with high affinity several essential and toxic divalent and monovalent transition metals by forming characteristic polynuclear metal‐thiolate clusters within their structure ...

Structure of Mammalian Metallothionein [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1984
All mammalian metallothioneins characterized contain a single polypeptide chain of 61 amino acid residues, among them 20 cysteines providing the ligands for seven metal-binding sites. Native metallothioneins are usually heterogeneous in metal composition, with Zn, Cd, and Cu occurring in varying proportions.

Integrating One Health to Mitigate the Emergence and Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock and Aquaculture

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global threat driven by antimicrobial use in aquaculture and livestock. Resistant pathogens and genes can spread across humans, animals, and the environment through interconnected ecosystems. Using a One Health approach, this review emphasizes antimicrobial stewardship, regulatory strengthening, enhanced ...

Integrated high‐throughput phenomics and transcriptomics uncover the transcriptional mechanisms underlying rice responses to elevated CO2 concentration and cadmium stress

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Developing crop varieties with reduced cadmium (Cd) accumulation under elevated carbon dioxide (eCO2) requires hub gene identification and elucidation of its transcriptional mechanisms. Here, we acquired high‐throughput phenotyping of the rice cultivar Nipponbare across six key developmental stages under Cd stress and three eCO2 concentrations.

Effect of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles From Infant Formula Milk Powder on Colon Cells In Vitro

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Zinc is an essential trace element that participates in numerous metabolic processes; however, excessive exposure may interfere with the absorption of other metals, such as copper. In recent years, nanotechnology has experienced rapid growth, and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have garnered significant attention due to their versatile ...
