Mechanisms of Alcoholic Liver Injury

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2000
There have been numerous recent advances in the understanding of the mechanisms of alcoholic liver disease pathogenesis. Endotoxin-induced Kupffer cell activation plays a role in cytokine-mediated inflammatory changes in the liver, and this can be ...

PARP inhibitors induce a senescence phenotype in non‐small cell lung carcinoma cell lines

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Talazoparib is the most potent inducer of senescence among different PARP1 inhibitors in human NSCLC cells. In the absence of PARP, no senescence phenotype was observed, demonstrating that PARP1 is necessary for the induction of senescence by this inhibitor.

Measuring CD38 Hydrolase and Cyclase Activities: 1,N6-Ethenonicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (ε-NAD) and Nicotinamide Guanine Dinucleotide (NGD) Fluorescence-based Methods

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2018
CD38 is a multifunctional enzyme involved in calcium signaling and Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolism. Through its major activity, the hydrolysis of NAD+, CD38 helps maintain the appropriate levels of this molecule for all NAD+-dependent

NAD+ repletion with niacin counteracts cancer cachexia

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
The loss of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is reported to be associated with muscle mitochondrial dysfunction in murine cancer models. Here the authors show that niacin supplementation improves mitochondrial metabolism and reduces muscle wasting in ...

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

New insights into the autophagy-NAD axis in brain disease

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Sun et al. demonstrate that defects in autophagy cause nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) depletion and neurotoxicity.1 Restoring NAD levels rescues cytotoxicity in autophagy-deficient neurons, providing a potential therapy for neurodegenerative and

The crystal structure of the Borrelia burgdorferi nicotinamidase BBE22 resolves a long‐standing annotation error

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of Borrelia burgdorferi nicotinamidase (PncA/BBE22) reveals the correct full‐length protein initiated from a non‐canonical AUU start codon. The structure validates previous biochemical findings and resolves a long‐standing annotation error, demonstrating that the truncated database sequence is structurally incompatible with the ...

CYTOCHEMICAL LOCALIZATION OF BRAIN NICOTINAMIDE ADENINE DINUCLEOTIDE PHOSPHATE (OXIDIZED)-DEPENDENT DEHYDROGENASES QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISTRIBUTIONS

open access: yes, 1974
This study compares the histochemical and microchemical localizations of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduced) diaphorases and four nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (oxidized ...

Mechanism of the inhibition of elevated CO2 atmosphere on enzymatic browning of fresh-cut lotus roots

open access: yes浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2020
Enzymatic browning is one of the main factors affecting the quality and shelf life of fresh-cut lotus root. The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism of inhibition of elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) on enzymatic browning by applying 20% CO2 to ...
