Epoxy Clerodane Diterpene Attenuates the Differentiated Adipocyte Hypertrophy and Enhances Mitochondrial Metabolism

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2026.
Epoxy Clerodane Diterpene (ECD) significantly reduces adipocyte hypertrophy and lipid accumulation in human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC)‐derived adipocytes. ECD improves mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), increases thermogenic regulators (UCP‐1, PPARγC1α), decreases adipogenic markers (C/EBPα, PPARγ), and reduces inflammatory mediators (TNF‐α, NF ...

Genomic and Sex Contributions to Interindividual Variability in Pitavastatin Bioavailability

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 139, Issue 1, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigates pharmacogenetic determinants of pitavastatin disposition using a candidate‐gene approach. Methods In 48 healthy volunteers, 138 variants across 40 genes involved in drug metabolism and transport were analysed to assess their relationship with pitavastatin pharmacokinetics, alongside the influence of sex and ...

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 1556-1590, June 2026.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Neuronal PCSK9 regulates cognitive performances via the modulation of ApoER2 synaptic localization

Pharmacological Research
PCSK9 promotes the degradation of the low-density lipoprotein receptors and its inhibition by monoclonal antibodies or gene silencing approaches results in the reduction of plasma cholesterol levels coupled to that of cardiovascular events.

Fibrates Inhibit PLTP‐induced M2 Macrophage Infiltration and Increase the Sensitivity of Hepatocellular Carcinoma to ICIs

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 35, 24 June 2026.
Phospholipid transfer protein(PLTP) plays a critical role in forming a complex with kinase A (AURKA) and P65. This interaction facilitates phosphorylation of P65 at Ser536, leading to the activation of the NF‐κB signaling pathway. Ultimately, this leads to the upregulation of downstream cytokines, including IL‐6, IL‐8, and CSF‐1, which promotes M2 ...
