Structure and Function of a Multi‐Megadalton Virus‐Like Proteolytic Dodecahedron

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Zuzalysin, a virulence metallopeptidase of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, is secreted as a latent, flexible ≈95‐kDa monomer. Calcium triggers cysteine‐switch activation and hierarchical assembly into pentamers, bipentamers, tripentamers, and a ≈5.6‐MDa, ≈355‐Å dodecahedron. Structures at 1.8–3.6 Å reveal a virus‐sized catalytic cage

Natural Product Toosendanin Suppresses the Malignant Development of Skin Melanoma by Targeting BNC2 for Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
BNC2 exhibits context‐dependent opposing functions across multiple cancer types. This study reveals BNC2 as an oncogenic driver of melanoma proliferation and metastasis through transcriptional activation of PIK3CA. The natural compound TSN simultaneously degrades BNC2 and its oncogenic partner SMAD3 via CRBN‐dependent ubiquitination.

Chlorination‐Driven BODIPY Fluorescent Probes for the Selective Monitoring of Myeloperoxidase Activity in Cells and Inflamed Mouse Models

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A meso‐carboxamide‐substituted BODIPY fluorescent probe reports myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity via electrophilic chlorination by MPO‐derived HOCl, generating a highly emissive chlorinated product with a ca. 40 nm bathochromic shift. Applications in quantitative MPO assays, cellular imaging of MPO‐derived HOCl, redox‐dependent discrimination of cancer ...

Anti-myeloperoxidase autoantibodies react with native but not denatured myeloperoxidase

Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 1992
SUMMARY We wondered whether anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO) autoantibodies (MPO-ANCA) found in patients with systemic vasculitis react with a conformational epitope or epitopes on the MPO molecule. Sera from 15 human MPO-ANCA, and a polyclonal and a monoclonal anti-MPO antibodies were reacted with MPO in native and denatured states. Human MPO-

AHR‐Responsive Carbon Dots Orchestrate Skin Wound Healing and Colonic Mucosal Repair via Treg‐Mediated Macrophage Efferocytosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Guided by pharmacophore modeling and molecular docking, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR)‐responsive carbon dots were synthesized. They bind directly to AHR and expand gut‐resident regulatory T (Treg) cells. Treg‐derived C‐C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CCL1) enhances macrophage efferocytosis, creating a pro‐regenetative niche that promotes colonic mucosal ...

Myeloperoxidase binds to non-vital spermatozoa on phosphatidylserine epitopes

, 2007
The heme protein myeloperoxidase is released from stimulated polymorphonuclear leukocytes, a cell species found in increasing amounts in the male and female genital tract of patients with genital tract inflammations.

Interleukin‐1α Mediates Pancreatic Fibroblast Activation, Regulates Immune Cell Recruitment and Fibrosis in Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
During pancreatitis, IL‐1α is released from necrotic acinar cells. In response to IL‐1α, pancreatic fibroblasts release chemokines and cytokines that regulate the recruitment of immune cells to the damaged organ. Furthermore, IL‐1α primes fibroblasts, resulting in increased tissue fibrosis during chronic pancreatitis.

Myeloperoxidase and paraoxonase-1 in type 2 diabetic patients

, 2009
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Reduced high density lipoproteins (HDL) and increased oxidative stress are features of type 2 diabetes. Myeloperoxidase is an oxidative enzyme partly associated with HDL and causing HDL dysfunction.

Leveraging Microphysiological Systems to Facilitate Neutrophil‐Based Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microphysiological systems are emerging as powerful human‐relevant platforms for studying neutrophil biology in cancer. Current applications of spheroids, organoids, and organ‐on‐a‐chip models are reviewed, together with future opportunities in behaviorome profiling, multi‐omics integration, personalized medicine, immune crosstalk, and multi‐organ ...
