Niacin reverses migratory macrophage foam cell arrest mediated by oxLDL in vitro. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Niacin reduces vascular oxidative stress and down regulates inducible nitric oxide synthase, an enzyme mediating proatherosclerotic effects in part by increasing oxidative stress.

Smohaze‐Upregulated RFWD3 Competes with TRIM24 to Stabilize TREX1 and Reduce Cytosolic dsDNA in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The E3 ubiquitin ligase RFWD3 binds the exonuclease TREX1 and protects it from TRIM24‐mediated ubiquitination and degradation, leading to the eradication of intracellular dsDNA, inhibition of the cGAS‐STING pathway, and immunosuppressive microenvironment of lung cancer.

Age-related increase of kynurenic acid in human cerebrospinal fluid-IgG and beta(2)-microglobulin changes [PDF]

, 2005
Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is an endogenous metabolite in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan degradation and is an antagonist at the glycine site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate as well as at the alpha 7 nicotinic cholinergic receptors. In the brain tissue KYNA

Acid-sensing ion channels 1a (ASIC1a) inhibit neuromuscular transmission in female mice [PDF]

, 2014
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASIC) open in response to extracellular acidosis. ASIC1a, a particular subtype of these channels, has been described to have a postsynaptic distribution in the brain, being involved not only in ischemia and epilepsy, but also ...

Neurophilic Biomimetic Lipoprotein‐Mediated Targeted Nerve Growth Factor Delivery for Traumatic Brain Injury Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Design of neurophilic biomimetic lipoprotein for intracerebral delivery of nerve growth factor (NGF) to traumatic brain injury (TBI). Nc‐rHDL@P can cross the BBB through ApoE3‐receptors interaction and target neurons via αRDP‐nAChR interaction. Nc‐rHDL@P delivers NGF to the lesion sites, rescues neurons, curbs inflammation, boosts sensorimotor and ...

Conditional expression in corticothalamic efferents reveals a developmental role for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in modulation of passive avoidance behavior [PDF]

, 2003
Prenatal nicotine exposure has been linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and cognitive impairment, but the sites of action for these effects of nicotine are still under investigation. High-affinity nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs)

N‐Amino Peptide–Graphene Quantum Dot Loaded Small Extracellular Vesicles for Targeted Therapy of Tauopathies

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
A neuron‐targeting drug delivery system is developed by incorporating the tau‐specific N‐amino peptide, mxyl‐NAP2, with graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and encapsulating the complex into small extracellular vesicles functionalized with a neuron‐targeting ligand.

Structurally similar allosteric modulators of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors exhibit five distinct pharmacological effects. [PDF]

, 2015
Activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) is associated with the binding of agonists such as acetylcholine to an extracellular site that is located at the interface between two adjacent receptor subunits.
