A loss-of-function human ADAR variant activates innate immune response and promotes bowel inflammation

Nature Communications
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) arises from genetic-environmental interactions. Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA 1 (ADAR), an RNA-editing enzyme converting adenosine (A) to inosine (I), is essential for tissue homeostasis.

A Population Pharmacokinetic Approach to Understand the Effect of Efavirenz on CYP3A Activity in Healthy Volunteers Using Midazolam as a Probe

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efavirenz induces and inhibits multiple drug‐metabolizing enzymes, contributing to significant drug–drug interactions. This study quantified the impact of multiple doses of efavirenz on CYP3A activity via midazolam metabolism using a population pharmacokinetic approach.

Transgenic overexpression of steroid sulfatase alleviates cholestasis

Liver Research, 2017
Background and Aim: Sulfotransferase (SULT)-mediated sulfation and steroid sulfatase (STS)-mediated desulfation represent two critical mechanisms that regulate the chemical and functional homeostasis of endogenous and exogenous molecules.

Rational development of gemcitabine-based nanoplatform for targeting SERPINB9/Granzyme B axis to overcome chemo-immune-resistance

Nature Communications
SERPINB9, an endogenous inhibitor of granzyme B (GzmB), has emerged as a critical factor in the resistance to immunotherapy by protecting cancer cells from GzmB-induced cytotoxicity. However, its role in chemosensitivity remains unknown.

Pharmacogenetics of follicle‐stimulating hormone action in the male

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Male factor infertility (MFI) is involved in half of the cases of couple infertility. The follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) therapy is considered efficient to improve semen parameters and pregnancy rate in patients with idiopathic MFI, following the lesson learned from hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics of tamoxifen and endoxifen

Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, 2019
Introduction: Tamoxifen dominates the anti-estrogenic therapy in the early and metastatic breast cancer setting. Tamoxifen has a complex metabolism, being mainly metabolized by CYP2D6 into its 30–100 times more potent metabolite, endoxifen.

Inhibition of ABCG2 prevents phototoxicity in a mouse model of erythropoietic protoporphyria

Nature Communications
Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a genetic disease characterized by protoporphyrin IX-mediated painful phototoxicity. Currently, options for the management of EPP-associated phototoxicity are limited and no oral medication is available.
