Molecular Mechanisms of the SLC13A5 Gene Transcription
Citrate is a crucial energy sensor that plays a central role in cellular metabolic homeostasis. The solute carrier family 13 member 5 (SLC13A5), a sodium-coupled citrate transporter highly expressed in the mammalian liver with relatively low levels in ...

Cargo binding promotes KDEL receptor clustering at the mammalian cell surface [PDF]
Transmembrane receptor clustering is a ubiquitous phenomenon in pro- and eukaryotic cells to physically sense receptor/ligand interactions and subsequently translate an exogenous signal into a cellular response. Despite that receptor cluster formation has been described for a wide variety of receptors, ranging from chemotactic receptors in bacteria to ...

Indirubin-pregnane X receptor-JNK axis accelerates skin wound healing
Indirubin is a potent anti-inflammatory phytochemical derived from indigo naturalis. It is also endogenously produced in the intestine and detected in the circulation in mammals.

Our study explores the mechanisms by which Lycii fructus (LF) treats the comorbidity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Through network pharmacology, key LF ingredients were identified, including terpenoids and cryptoxanthin monoepoxide, which modulate critical signaling pathways like MAPK and PI3K‐Akt by targeting ...

Pregnane X Receptor Is SUMOylated to Repress the Inflammatory Response [PDF]
Long-term treatment of patients with the macrolide antibiotic and prototypical activator of pregnane X receptor (PXR) rifampicin (Rif) inhibits the inflammatory response in liver. We show here that activation of the inflammatory response in hepatocytes strongly modulates SUMOylation of ligand-bound PXR.

The impact of high density receptor clusters on VEGF signaling [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling is involved in the process of blood vessel development and maintenance. Signaling is initiated by binding of the bivalent VEGF ligand to the membrane-bound receptors (VEGFR), which in turn stimulates receptor dimerization.

Pharmacological effect of one icv dose of Allopregnanolone in female rat: behavioural profile [PDF]
We have previously observed that intracerebroventricular allopregnanolone (ALLO) injection produced an anxiolytic effect and inhibited sexual receptivity when the test was performed in a separate manner. Also, ALLO reverts learning deficit in female rats

Regulation of biotransformation systems and ABC transporters by Benznidazole in HepG2 cells: involvement of Pregnane X-Receptor [PDF]
Background: Benznidazole (BZL) is the only antichagasic drug available in most endemic countries. Its effect on the expression and activity of drug-metabolizing and transporter proteins has not been studied yet.

In this study, we explored the therapeutic effects of Parabacteroides goldsteinii (P. goldsteinii) on colitis and its underlying mechanisms. Our results indicate a significant reduction of P. goldsteinii in the stools of inflammatory bowel disease patients. We demonstrate the therapeutic potential of P.
