TSHR‐Targeting Nucleic Acid Aptamer Treats Graves' Ophthalmopathy via Novel Allosteric Inhibition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents YC3, a novel inhibitory TSHR‐targeting aptamer, as a promising therapeutic for Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). YC3 suppresses pathological phenotypes in human orbital fibroblasts and improves outcomes in GO mice by binding to a previously unidentified allosteric site on TSHR, demonstrating the potential of aptamers in advancing ...

Impact of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α on diabetic cardiomyopathy

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2021
The prevalence of cardiomyopathy is higher in diabetic patients than those without diabetes. Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is defined as a clinical condition of abnormal myocardial structure and performance in diabetic patients without other cardiac risk

The anti-atherogenic effects of thiazolidinediones [PDF]

, 2007
The thiazolidinediones (TZDs) rosiglitazone (ROS) and pioglitazone (PIO) are insulin-sensitising agents widely used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Thiazolidinediones significantly improve glycaemic control in diabetics by reduced

PPARγ and LXR Signaling Inhibit Dendritic Cell-Mediated HIV-1 Capture and trans-Infection [PDF]

, 2010
Dendritic cells (DCs) contribute to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transmission and dissemination by capturing and transporting infectious virus from the mucosa to draining lymph nodes, and transferring these virus particles to CD4+ T cells ...

Dysfunctional TRIM31 of POMC Neurons Provokes Hypothalamic Injury and Peripheral Metabolic Disorder under Long‐Term Fine Particulate Matter Exposure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) elevates risks of neurological and chronic metabolic diseases, but the underlying mechanisms linking PM2.5‐induced central nervous system (CNS) injury to metabolic dysfunction remain unclear. Hypothalamic pro‐opiomelanocortin‐expressing (POMC+) neurons regulate systemic metabolic homeostasis, and tripartite motif ...

Interleukin-4-Enhanced Oligodendrocyte Differentiation Depends on Extracellular Zinc Uptake via ZIP11

Cells
Differentiation of oligodendrocytes and myelination are enhanced by interleukin-4, an anti-inflammatory cytokine secreted from immune cells or injured neurons, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ serves as a central effector.

Thyroid Hormone Receptor β1 and PGC1α Coordinately Regulate OPA1/MFN2‐Mediated Mitochondrial Fusion and UCP1‐Mediated Lipid Browning in ccRCC

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Thyroid hormone receptor β1 (TRβ) downregulation correlates with poor prognosis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Restoration of TRβ and the peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor gamma coactivator 1‐alpha suppresses tumor progression in ccRCC through Uncoupling protein 1 mediated tumor cell “slimming” and optic atrophy 1/mitofusin 2 ...
