Niacin, an old drug with a new twist

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Niacin (nicotinic acid) has been used for decades as a lipid-lowering drug. The clinical use of niacin to treat dyslipidemic conditions is limited by its side effects.

Nuclear Translocation of S100A9 Triggers Senescence of Human Amnion Fibroblasts by De‐Repressing LINE1 Via Heterochromatin Erosion at Parturition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that the classical secretory protein S100 calcium‐binding protein A9 (S100A9) can translocate to the nucleus upon de‐phosphorylation at Thr 113 in human amnion fibroblasts at parturition, where S100A9 induces heterochromatin erosion through segregation of the heterochromatin maintenance protein, resulting inLong Interspersed Nuclear ...

The Effects of Intrauterine Injection with Prostaglandin F2α, Arachidonic Acid and Phosphate Solution on the Eggshell Formation of Japanese Quail Hen

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2002
Inhibitory effects of prostaglandin F2α, arachidonic acid and phosphate solution on the eggshell formation were investigated in Japanese quail. All injections were performed intrauterinely 8h before the predicted oviposition. Prematurely oviposited

Regional distribution of the prostaglandin E2 receptor EP1 in the rat brain: accumulation in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Neuroscience 27(3): 303-310 (2005), 2007
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), is a major prostanoid produced by the activity of cyclooxygenases (COX) in response to various physiological and pathological stimuli. PGE2 exerts its effects by activating four specific E-type prostanoid receptors (EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4).

AhR‐Dependent Induction of β‐Defensin 1 in Colonic Epithelial Cells Regulates Cross‐Talk between Gut Microbiota and Immune Response Leading to Attenuation of Colitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a key signaling pathway involving the environmental sensor AhR and antimicrobial peptides, such as BD‐1, in the regulation of intestinal homeostasis. It highlights the role of BD‐1 in regulating gut microbiota and the intestinal immune response.

Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...

Culture of mouse peritoneal macrophages with mouse serum induces lipid bodies that associate with the parasitophorous vacuole and decrease their microbicidal capacity against Toxoplasma gondii

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2014
Lipid bodies [lipid droplets (LBs)] are lipid-rich organelles involved in lipid metabolism, signalling and inflammation. Recent findings suggest a role for LBs in host response to infection; however, the potential functions of this organelle in ...

Biosynthesis of Prostaglandins [PDF]

Annual Review of Nutrition, 1991
Highly purified cyclooxygenase from sheep vesicular glands is stimulated by the presence of protoporphyrin IX compounds. This stimulation may be due to the conversion of an apoenzyme to the holoenzyme, and full activity is achieved when half of the enzyme subunits (70,000 daltons) bind heme.

Dipyridamole Acts as Clinical Ferroptosis Inhibitor to Prevent from Tissue Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dipyridamole acts as a clinically used compound to suppress ferroptosis. Dipyridamole down‐regulates the expression of RNF126, which is an E3 ligase to ubiquitinate SLC7A11 for proteasome degradation. The deficiency of SLC7A11 largely abolishes the protective role of dipyridamole both in vitro and in vivo.
