Activation of the plant mevalonate pathway by extracellular ATP

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Products of the mevalonate pathway support plant development. Here the authors show that the extracellular ATP receptor P2K1 phosphorylates mevalonate kinase and this affects the mevalonate pathway.

Comparison of Cholesterol Lowering Diets: Apple, Casein Cytochrom P450 protein and Cholesterol 7α Hydroxylase Activities in Hamsters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Lithogenic diet, casein and apple fiber diets were fed to hamsters for 3-5 weeks. For control group, animals were fed on normal Purina chow without any supplement.

Biosynthesis of Δ7-cholesten-3Β-ol, Δ5,7-cholestadien-3Β-ol, and Δ5-cholesten-3Β-ol by guinea pig intestinal mucosa in vitro

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1966
Methods were developed for the separation and determination of the various 27-carbon sterols of intestinal mucosa by means of thin-layer chromatography.

Apoptosis induced by clofibrate in Yoshida AH-130 hepatoma cells

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2003
Clofibrate is a hypolipidemic drug belonging to the peroxisome proliferator (42) family. PPs are well-recognized hepatocarcinogens, though only for rodents and not for humans.

Decreased risk of breast cancer associated with oral bisphosphonate therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Preclinical studies and adjuvant trials using bisphosphonates have found them to have an antitumor effect. Although major advances have been made in chemoprevention strategies with selective estrogen receptor modulators and aromatase inhibitors, their ...

Farnesyltransferase Deficiency in Cardiomyocytes Initiates Senescence and Contributes to Cardiac Fibrosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Lipid overload suppresses SREBF2‐mediated FNTB expression, leading to defective Lamin A maturation and nuclear envelope instability. This nuclear catastrophe triggers a pro‐fibrotic senescence program in cardiomyocytes. Notably, restoring nuclear integrity via AAV9‐based gene therapy effectively attenuates cardiac remodeling, identifying the ...

Microbial Model Halobacterium salinarum in Screening of Synthetic Analogues of Antibiotic Turbomycin A with Anticancer Activity

open access: yesАнтибиотики и Химиотерапия, 2020
The microbial test-system based on cultivation of Halobacterium salinarum developed earlier for screening inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis and proposed for screening anticancer antibiotics, proved to be efficient in revealing anticancer compounds among ...

Isoprenoids determine Th1/Th2 fate in pathogenic T cells, providing a mechanism of modulation of autoimmunity by atorvastatin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase is a critical enzyme in the mevalonate pathway that regulates the biosynthesis of cholesterol as well as isoprenoids that mediate the membrane association of certain GTPases.

Major transcriptome re-organisation and abrupt changes in signalling, cell cycle and chromatin regulation at neural differentiation in vivo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Here, we exploit the spatial separation of temporal events of neural differentiation in the elongating chick body axis to provide the first analysis of transcriptome change in progressively more differentiated neural cell populations in vivo.

Diatoms synthesize sterols by inclusion of animal and fungal genes in the plant pathway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Diatoms are ubiquitous microalgae that have developed remarkable metabolic plasticity and gene diversification. Here we report the first elucidation of the complete biosynthesis of sterols in the lineage.
