Development of an Engineered Bacterial Endophyte: Promoting Plant Growth Through Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) Synthesis [PDF]

Microorganisms
Endophytic bacteria are a group of microorganisms that can intercellularly colonize plant hosts without causing apparent damage or disease. Our previous works found that a pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-producing endophyte could promote plant growth and ...

Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) alleviated sepsis-induced acute liver injury, inflammation, oxidative stress and cell apoptosis by downregulating CUL3 expression. [PDF]

Bioengineered, 2021
PQQ has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. PQQ can relieve high glucose-induced renal cell damage by suppressing Keap1 expression. Keap1 can interact with CUL3. Upregulation of CUL3 facilitates the apoptosis of LPS-induced podocytes.
