S-glutathionylation in cancer: from fundamental mechanisms to clinical applications
Glutathione (GSH) is a thiol-containing antioxidant composed of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. GSH can form a disulfide bond with the cysteine sulfhydryl group of a protein, resulting in S-glutathionylation (-SSG).

Neuroprotective effects of Withania somnifera in the SH-SY5Y Parkinson cell model
Parkinson's disease is the most frequent neurodegenerative motor disorder. The clinical syndrome and pathology involve motor disturbance and the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Root extracts of Withania.

ABSTRACT Macrophage metabolism has been increasingly studied in recent years for its potential as a therapeutic target across multiple pathologies. In this article, we propose that the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzyme alpha‐ketoglutarate (KG) dehydrogenase (KGDH) serves as a nexus for regulating macrophage polarization toward pro‐inflammatory (M1)

We recently described that brief exposure of HL60 cells to a mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CMI) and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (MI) induces apoptosis at low concentrations (0.001–0.01%) and necrosis at higher concentrations (0.05 ...

ABSTRACT Sulfur (S) is an essential macronutrient that plays critical roles in plant growth, redox homeostasis, stress adaptation, and immunity. In rice (Oryza sativa), sulfur deficiency is becoming increasingly common due to modern agricultural practices, yet the molecular regulation of sulfur metabolism remains incompletely understood.

Redox signals and oxidative stress in the control of mitochondrial protein import
Abstract Mitochondrial protein import is essential for organelle biogenesis and cellular homeostasis. It operates in an environment that is intrinsically shaped by redox chemistry. Mitochondria are major sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which arise as by‐products of oxidative phosphorylation. Cells therefore maintain sophisticated ROS‐handling

S-Glutathionylation of Cryptic Cysteines Enhances Titin Elasticity by Blocking Protein Folding [PDF]
The giant elastic protein titin is a determinant factor in how much blood fills the left ventricle during diastole and thus in the etiology of heart disease. Titin has been identified as a target of S-glutathionylation, an end product of the nitric-oxide-signaling cascade that increases cardiac muscle elasticity.

Analysis of protein S-glutathionylation.
A) Immunoblotting with anti-GSH antibody of control (lanes 1, 3) and H-RasV12 expressing cells (lanes 2, 4). Proteins (30 µg) were electrophoresed on 10% acrylamide/bis-acrylamide gel. Cell extracts were obtained either in non-reducing (lanes 1, 2) or in
