The cationic small molecule GW4869 is cytotoxic to high phosphatidylserine-expressing myeloma cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We have discovered that a small cationic molecule, GW4869, is cytotoxic to a subset of myeloma cell lines and primary myeloma plasma cells. Biochemical analysis revealed that GW4869 binds to anionic phospholipids such as phosphatidylserine - a lipid ...

Cellular Responses to Tartrazine and Sulfanilic Acid Exposure in BEAS‐2B Cells: Viability, Apoptosis, and DNA Damage

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tartrazine is a synthetic azo dye widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products, resulting in extensive human exposure, while its toxicity and that of its primary metabolite, sulfanilic acid, remain controversial. Considering the reported association of tartrazine with hypersensitivity and allergic‐like reactions, human bronchial ...

Synthesis, Cytotoxicity, and Apoptosis‐Associated Cell Death Activity of an Isatin‐Containing Pyrimidine‐Derived Cu(II) Complex

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A Cu(II) complex derived from a pyrimidine with the isatin group was synthesized and tested for its cytotoxic effects on A549 lung cancer and MCF‐7 breast cancer cell lines, as well as its effects on apoptosis‐associated cell death and cell cycle regulation in A549 cells. To evaluate cytotoxicity, MTT assays were performed at 24, 48, and 72 h,

Preliminary Evaluation of a Novel Lupus Anticoagulant Activity Assay Unaffected by Anticoagulants

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
A novel one‐step lupus anticoagulant (LA) assay based on the LA‐sensitivity ratio (LA‐SR) was developed to simplify diagnostic testing and reduce potential interference from anticoagulants. The LA‐SR method showed good agreement with guideline‐based LA testing (dRVVT and/or LA‐sensitive APTT) for the detection of LA and demonstrated limited influence ...

FOXC1: A Key Transcription Factor of VSMC‐Derived Foam Cell Formation in Atherosclerotic Plaque Instability

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The instability of atherosclerotic plaques, particularly intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH), drives life‐threatening cardiovascular events, a process in which vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC)‐derived foam cells play a significant role. We aim to identify key biomarkers associated with VSMC‐derived foam cells and IPH by analyzing data from human ...

Proteomic Profiling of Myofiber Repair Annexins and Their Role in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myofiber regeneration and membrane repair play crucial roles in maintaining the continuous physiological functioning of the neuromuscular system. A swift and efficient repair mechanism enables the rapid restoration of sarcolemmal integrity following cellular impairment in damaged skeletal muscles.

Microbubble‐Based Ultrasound Contrast Agents in Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasonography for Managing Portal Hypertension in Cirrhosis

open access: yesPortal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
As the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) remains the current gold standard for diagnosing portal hypertension in cirrhosis, its clinical application is limited by invasiveness, high cost, and restricted availability. Given the urgent need for noninvasive techniques to dynamically monitor portal vein pressure (PVP), contrast‐enhanced ...

x‐Ray Structure of Streptomyces avermitilis Phospholipase D Reveals a Ca2+‐Stabilized Expanded Active‐Site Cleft Adapted for Phospholipid Binding

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phospholipase D (PLD) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phospholipids to generate phosphatidic acid and free head groups such as choline. Among bacterial PLD enzymes, Streptomyces chromofuscus PLD (SchPLD), a member of the alkaline phosphatase D (PhoD) superfamily, exhibits unique Ca2+‐dependent phospholipase activity.
