Cysteine-10 on 17 β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 has stabilizing interactions in the cofactor binding region and renders sensitivity to sulfhydryl modifying chemicals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
17 β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17 β -HSD1) catalyzes the conversion of estrone to the potent estrogen estradiol. 17 β -HSD1 is highly expressed in breast and ovary tissues and represents a prognostic marker for the tumor progression and ...

Nuclear Factor I‐B Delays Liver Fibrosis by Inhibiting Chemokine Ligand 5 Transcription

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the transcription factor Nuclear Factor I‐B (NFIB) as a key suppressor of liver fibrosis. NFIB expression declines during hepatic stellate cell activation, and its overexpression reduces fibrosis in mice models. The mechanism involves NFIB directly repressing chemokine C─C motif ligand 5 (CCL5), thereby alleviating oxidative ...

Subcellular localization of retinoids, retinoid-binding proteins, and acyl-CoA:retinol acyltransferase in rat liver

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1987
Studies were conducted to define the subcellular localization of endogenous retinoids (vitamin A), retinoid-binding proteins, and acyl-CoA:retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) in liver and to determine whether their distributions were affected by hepatic ...

Molecular basis for the interaction of cellular retinol binding protein 2 (CRBP2) with nonretinoid ligands

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2021
Present in the small intestine, cellular retinol binding protein 2 (CRBP2) plays an important role in the uptake, transport, and metabolism of dietary retinoids.

Pulse of inflammatory proteins in the pregnant uterus of European polecats (Mustela putorius) leading to the time of implantation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Uterine secretory proteins protect the uterus and conceptuses against infection, facilitate implantation, control cellular damage resulting from implantation, and supply pre-implantation embryos with nutrients.

Folic Acid‐Modified Ginger‐Derived Exosome‐Like Nanoparticles Co‐Delivering Sunitinib Suppress Renal Cell Carcinoma via PI3K‐Akt Pathway Inhibition, P‐gp Downregulation, and Macrophage Reprogramming

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
FPD‐GELNs co‐deliver Su and bioactive components. This active‐passive dual‐targeting strategy suppresses the progression of RCC through the following mechanisms: 1) inhibition of the PI3K‐Akt signaling pathway; 2) downregulation of ABCB1/P‐gp to enhance the chemosensitivity of RCC to Su; and 3) reprogramming of macrophages toward M1 polarization and ...

Effects of dietary retinoic acid on cellular retinol- and retinoic acid-binding protein levels in various rat tissues.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1990
A study was conducted to explore the effects of retinoic acid, fed to retinol-deficient rats, on the tissue distribution and levels of cellular retinol-binding protein (CRBP) and cellular retinoic acid-binding protein (CRABP).

Retinol Binding Protein [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 2011
Introduction: Burn injury leads to vast changes in both metabolic and inflammatory responses and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Insulin resistance (IR) and hyperglycemia are major components of the hypermetabolic response found in burn‐injured patients and subsequently contribute to adverse outcomes.

The Pivotal Role of GR‐CAR Pathway in Fetal Programming of Hepatic Cytochrome P450 3A Alteration in Adulthood

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) persistently upregulates hepatic CYP3A1/CYP2B1 in offspring via glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activation. In vivo and in vitro studies show GR promotes P300/CBP binding to the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) promoter, sustaining histone acetylation (H3K9/K27ac) and enhancing CYP expression. The GR–CAR pathway
