Cellular cholesterol efflux is modulated by phospholipid-derived signaling molecules in familial HDL deficiency/Tangier disease fibroblasts

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
Familial HDL deficiency (FHD) is the heterozygous form of Tangier disease (TD). Mutations of the ABCA1 gene cause FHD and TD. FHD/TD cells are unable to normally efflux cholesterol onto nascent HDL particles, which are rapidly catabolized. TD fibroblasts

Protein kinase C and human uterine contractility

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2007
Abnormalities in uterine contractility are thought to contribute to several clinical problems, including preterm labor. A better understanding of the mechanisms controlling uterine activity would make it possible to propose more appropriate and effective

Alkylacylglycerolipid domain of GPI molecules of Leishmania is responsible for inhibition of PKC-mediated c-fos expression

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
Glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) are the most abundant molecules present in the membranes of the parasitic protozoa Leishmania responsible for multiple forms of leishmaniasis.

Rapid Response to Trametinib Combined With Chemotherapy for Infant BRAF‐Fused Chiasmatic Glioma

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Infants, less than 1 year, with chiasmatic gliomas (ICG) present a major therapeutic challenge due to large tumor size, decreased vision, rapid progression, and poor response to vincristine/carboplatin chemotherapy. The majority have a BRAF fusion, which may respond to downstream MEK inhibitors but response time is slow. There are no safety or

Pathogenicity and virulence of Japanese encephalitis virus: Neuroinflammation and neuronal cell damage

Virulence, 2021
Thousands of human deaths occur annually due to Japanese encephalitis (JE), caused by Japanese encephalitis virus. During the virus infection of the central nervous system, reactive gliosis, uncontrolled inflammatory response, and neuronal cell death are

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Repression of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase transcription by bile acids is mediated through protein kinase C in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
Inhibitors of protein kinases were screened for the ability to prevent the repression of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase mRNA by taurocholate in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Intramolecular C2 Domain-Mediated Autoinhibition of Protein Kinase C βII

Cell Reports, 2015
The signaling output of protein kinase C (PKC) is exquisitely controlled, with its disruption resulting in pathophysiologies. Identifying the structural basis for autoinhibition is central to developing effective therapies for cancer, where PKC activity ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
