A Depolarizing Leak in Sodium Bicarbonate Cotransporter NBCe1 Causes Brain Edema

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives SLC4A4 encodes electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1, prominently expressed in kidney and brain. Recessive loss‐of‐function variants in SLC4A4 cause proximal renal tubular acidosis, no brain edema. In the brain, NBCe1 is expressed by astrocytes, where it regulates pH and mediates astrocyte volume changes.

The Role of Mitochondria in Drug-Induced Kidney Injury

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
The kidneys utilize roughly 10% of the body’s oxygen supply to produce the energy required for accomplishing their primary function: the regulation of body fluid composition through secreting, filtering, and reabsorbing metabolites and nutrients.

Genetic and Modifiable Risk Factors Contributing to Cisplatin-Induced Toxicities [PDF]

, 2019
Effective administration of traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy is often limited by off-target toxicities. This clinical dilemma is epitomized by cisplatin, a platinating agent that has potent antineoplastic activity due to its affinity for DNA and other ...

Response to Allopurinol and Febuxostat According to the Fractional Excretion of Urate in Men With Gout

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and pretreatment urate levels have been reported to influence the urate‐lowering response to allopurinol. We investigated whether the fractional excretion of uric acid (FEUA) also modulates this response and relates to oxypurinol concentrations.

β-Lactam Antibiotics—Drug-Drug Interaction Mediated by Organic Anion Transporters OAT1 and OAT3

Регуляторные исследования и экспертиза лекарственных средств, 2020
Organic anion transporters OAT1 and OAT3 play a key role in elimination of most β-lactam antibiotics. Since nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antivirals, antitumor agents, and some other drugs are also substrates of OAT1/3, this enables drug-drug ...

Bone morphogenetic protein 7 sensitizes O6-methylguanine methyltransferase expressing-glioblastoma stem cells to clinically relevant dose of temozolomide. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundTemozolomide (TMZ) is an oral DNA-alkylating agent used for treating patients with glioblastoma. However, therapeutic benefits of TMZ can be compromised by the expression of O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) in tumor tissue.

Addressing Economic Insecurities Can Improve Patient‐Reported Outcomes in Lupus

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Economic insecurities, such as food, housing, transportation, and financial challenges, are modifiable risk factors and influence patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We examined the following: (1) associations between economic insecurities and PROs, and (2) the impact of screening and addressing economic ...
