Role and regulation of MKP-1 in airway inflammation

Respiratory Research, 2017
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase 1 (MKP-1) is a protein with anti-inflammatory properties and the archetypal member of the dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) family that have emerged over the past decade as playing an instrumental ...

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

Insulin Resistance: An Update on Biochemical and Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Impact on Various Diseases

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insulin resistance is the biological phenomenon in which the human body's normal response to the metabolic hormone insulin is compromised. Insulin is a regulator of most of the essential metabolic steps in the body that control energy homoeostasis, so dysregulation leads to multiple diverse human diseases including, most prominently, Type 2 ...

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Dynamic and structural insights into allosteric regulation on MKP5 a dual-specificity phosphatase

Nature Communications
Dual-specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatases (MKPs) directly dephosphorylate and inactivate the MAPKs. Although the catalytic mechanism of dephosphorylation of the MAPKs by the MKPs is established, a complete molecular picture of

SUMOylation regulates tumorigenesis and progression: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic applications

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
SUMOylation, a dynamic post‐translational modification, acts as a master regulator at the heart of tumor malignancy. Our work delineates how the SUMOylation cycle—mediated by E1/E2/E3 enzymes and reversed by SENPs—orchestrates multiple hallmarks of cancer. The central pathway converges on three critical pathological axes: 1.

LILRB1-HLA-G axis defines a checkpoint driving natural killer cell exhaustion in tuberculosis

EMBO Molecular Medicine
Chronic infections, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-caused tuberculosis (TB), can induce host immune exhaustion. However, the key checkpoint molecules involved in this process and the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain largely undefined ...

Quantitative and functional post-translational modification proteomics reveals that TREPH1 plays a role in plant thigmomorphogenesis

, 2018
Plants can sense both intracellular and extracellular mechanical forces and can respond through morphological changes. The signaling components responsible for mechanotransduction of the touch response are largely unknown.

The impact of breast milk relaxin 2, oxytocin, and insulin‐like peptide 3 on neonatal growth parameters in early life

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives This study aims to quantify the levels of relaxin 2 (RLX2), oxytocin (OXT), and insulin‐like peptide 3 (INSL3) in colostrum (postpartum days 1–5, Visit 1) and mature breast milk (postpartum days 21–35, Visit 2), and to evaluate their associations with neonatal growth outcomes.
