Targeting Replication Fork Processing Synergizes with PARP Inhibition to Potentiate Lethality in Homologous Recombination Proficient Ovarian Cancers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the resveratrol analogue, trans‐4,4′‐dihydroxystilbene (DHS), exhibits synergistic anti‐tumor activity with the PARP inhibitor talazoparib, inducing significant ovarian cancer cell death. The synergistic effect of this combination arises from the concurrent downregulation of homologous recombination factors and the ...

Design of a folding inhibitor of the HIV-1 Protease [PDF]

arXiv, 2004
Being HIV-1-PR an essential enzyme in the viral life cycle, its inhibition can control AIDS. Because the folding of single domain proteins, like HIV-1-PR is controlled by local elementary structures (LES, folding units stabilized by strongly interacting, highly conserved amino acids) which have evolved over myriads of generations to recognize and ...

Unveiling the molecular mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibition from 92 crystal structures [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Currently, there is no effective antiviral drugs nor vaccine for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Due to its high conservativeness and low similarity with human genes, SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M$^{\text{pro}}$) is one of the most favorable drug targets.

Staurosporine induces necroptotic cell death under caspase-compromised conditions in U937 cells [PDF]

, 2012
For a long time necrosis was thought to be an uncontrolled process but evidences recently have revealed that necrosis can also occur in a regulated manner.

HNF3α Targets Nckap1l and Promotes Renal Fibrosis Following Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 3 alpha (HNF3α) is significantly upregulated in renal tubular epithelial cells of CKD patients and fibrotic mice. Deletion of HNF3α mitigates IRI‐induced renal fibrosis, while overexpression worsens it. HNF3α directly regulates NCK‐associated protein 1‐like (Nckap1l), whose overexpression exacerbates fibrosis.

Drug Repurposing to find Inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the strain of coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the respiratory illness responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently there is no known vaccine or specific antiviral treatment for COVID-19 and so, there is an urgent need for expedite discovery of new ...

A neutrophil-dependent pathway for the generation of a neutral peptide mediator: partial characterization of components and control by alpha-1-antitrypsin. [PDF]

, 1974
A biologically active neutral peptide mediator is cleaved from a plasma protein substrate by an alpha-1-antitrypsin-inhibitable serine protease apparently residing on the membrane of the human neutrophil. The peptide mediator has an approximate mol wt of

Method to Predict Crowding Effects by Postprocessing Molecular Dynamics Trajectories: Application to the Flap Dynamics of HIV-1 Protease. [PDF]

, 2010
The internal dynamics of proteins inside of cells may be affected by the crowded intracellular environments. Here, we test a novel approach to simulations of crowding, in which simulations in the absence of crowders are postprocessed to predict crowding ...

Mas Signaling Potentiates Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Formation Induced by Endothelial Cells Derived S1P in Mice with Acute Liver Failure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In mice challenged with lipopolysaccharide/D‐galactosamine (L/G), Mas signaling increased SHP2 in hepatic Col4a1+ endothelial cells, inhibiting farnesoid X receptor (FXR), potentially due to enterogenic deoxycholic acid. This inhibition activates sphingosine‐1‐phosphate‐induced Raf/MEK/ERK signaling in Cldn1+CD177+ neutrophils, causing neutrophil ...
