Caffeine affects the biological responses of human hematopoietic cells of myeloid lineage via downregulation of the mTOR pathway and xanthine oxidase activity [PDF]

, 2015
Correction of human myeloid cell function is crucial for the prevention of inflammatory and allergic reactions as well as leukaemia progression. Caffeine, a naturally occurring food component, is known to display anti-inflammatory effects which have ...

Embedded CRISPRi Enhances Gene‐Silencing Efficiency in Drosophila

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Current CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) technology in Drosophila has limited efficiency. This study introduces the emCRISPRi platform, which significantly enhances transcriptional silencing efficacy by embedding inhibitory domains within the dCas9 architecture.

Purinosomes involved in the regulation of tumor metabolism: current progress and potential application targets

Frontiers in Oncology
The core of tumor cell metabolism is the management of energy metabolism due to the extremely high energy requirements of tumor cells. The purine nucleotide synthesis pathway in cells uses the purinosomes as an essential spatial structural complex.

Research Progress in the Regulation of Gut Microbiota on Diet-Induced Hyperuricemia

Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2022
Hyperuricemia is a metabolic disease with excessively high level of uric acid in blood. It is triggered by the disorder of purine metabolism and/or uric acid excretion in human, and the purine-rich and fructose-rich diets and purine was confirmed to ...

Identifcation of small molecule enzyme inhibitors as broad-spectrum anthelmintics [PDF]

, 2019
Targeting chokepoint enzymes in metabolic pathways has led to new drugs for cancers, autoimmune disorders and infectious diseases. This is also a cornerstone approach for discovery and development of anthelmintics against nematode and flatworm parasites.

A Functionally Conserved Enhancer is Critical for PGC1A Expression and Thermogenesis in Brown Fat

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An evolutionarily conserved enhancer controls PGC1A expression and thermogenic activation in brown adipose tissue. Integrative multi‐omics analyses identify two BAT‐specific enhancers, with PGC1A‐En1 functioning as the dominant regulatory element that maintains thermogenic capacity across species.

Disorders of purine biosynthesis metabolism

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2022
Purines are essential molecules that are components of vital biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, coenzymes, signaling molecules, as well as energy transfer molecules. The de novo biosynthesis pathway starts from phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) and eventually leads to the synthesis of inosine monophosphate (IMP) by means of 10 sequential steps ...

Icariin Enhances the Enzymatic Activity of N‐acetylgalactosaminidase to Augment Akkermansia Abundance in Gut Microbiota for Improved PD‐1 Blockade Efficacy in Tumor Suppression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Icariin promoted the growth of Akk by enhancing the activity of N‐acetylgalactosaminidase (Amuc_0920), which enhanced mucin utilization and provided a favorable nutrient environment for bacterial growth. This icariin‐mediated enrichment of Akk further reshaped the tumor microenvironment and promoted CD8+ T cell infiltration, ultimately synergizing with
