Sex- and strain-differential plasma proteomic signatures in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice

Scientific Reports
Sex is a critical determinant of health and disease, yet it remains underrepresented in biomedical research. The identification of blood-based biomarkers facilitates early diagnosis and intervention for various diseases; however, sex-differential ...

Cell biological insights into human STING variants

Cell Structure and Function
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized transmembrane protein. STING induces type I interferon and inflammatory responses against a variety of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses, which is critical for limiting ...

Membrane Heterogeneity Beyond the Plasma Membrane

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
The structure and organization of cellular membranes have received intense interest, particularly in investigations of the raft hypothesis. The vast majority of these investigations have focused on the plasma membrane of mammalian cells, yielding ...

Host upregulation of lipid droplets drives antiviral responses

Cell Stress, 2021
When a host cell is infected by a virus, it activates the innate immune response, setting off a cascade of signalling events leading to the production of an antiviral response.

Plecstatin inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and invasion through cytolinker plectin

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The ruthenium‐based metallodrug plecstatin exerts its anticancer effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) primarily through selective targeting of plectin. By disrupting plectin‐mediated cytoskeletal organization, plecstatin inhibits anchorage‐dependent growth, cell polarization, and tumor cell dissemination.

Tannin Reduces the Incidence of Polyspermic Penetration in Porcine Oocytes

Antioxidants, 2022
Tannin (TA) improves porcine oocyte cytoplasmic maturation and subsequent embryonic development after in vitro fertilization (IVF). However, the mechanism through which TA blocks polyspermy after IVF remains unclear.

ATG4B is required for mTORC1‐mediated anabolic activity and is associated with clinical outcomes in non‐small cell lung cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The relationship between anabolic and catabolic processes governing lung cancer cell growth is nuanced. We show that ATG4B, an autophagy regulator, is elevated in lung cancer and that high ATG4B is associated with worse patient outcomes. Targeting ATG4B in cells reduces growth, protein synthesis, and mTORC1 activity, demonstrating a new relationship ...

Dietary nitrate and nitrite protect against doxorubicin‐induced cardiac fibrosis and oxidative protein damage in tumor‐bearing mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Chemotherapies such as doxorubicin can have toxic effects on healthy cardiovascular/heart tissue. Following up on a doxorubicin toxicity study in mice without tumors where nitrate water was cardioprotective (lessened toxicity), this study with tumor‐bearing mice undergoing doxorubicin treatment showed no negative effect of nitrate and nitrite on drug ...
