In Silico to In Cerebro—Development of the Orexin Receptor Antagonist “Photorexant” for Photomodulation In Vitro and in Mouse Brains

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Following a structure‐based design approach, photoswitchable derivatives of the FDA‐approved drug suvorexant were designed, docked, synthesized, and characterized pharmacologically at the orexin 1 and 2 receptors (OX1R and OX2R). Optimized “photorexant” showed up to an 11‐fold difference in IC50 between photoisomers, enabled dynamic and reversible ...

The Role of miRNAs in Chicken Immune Regulation and Prospects for Disease‐Resistant Breeding

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A schematic workflow illustrating the screening of disease‐resistant miRNAs and the generation of miRNA‐based disease‐resistant chickens via PGC‐mediated germline genome editing. ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as pivotal regulators of the immune system, playing a decisive role in shaping disease resistance in chicken.

The Nuclear Receptor Testicular Receptor 4 Orchestrates Cytoskeletal Organization in a G Protein Subunit Alpha 12/Rho‐Associated Protein Kinase–Dependent Manner to Promote Myofibroblast Differentiation and Tissue Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Members of the superfamily of nuclear receptors have been implicated in inflammatory processes and pathologic tissue remodeling and have emerged as attractive targets for pharmaceutical intervention. However, the role of testicular receptor 4 (TR4; or Nr2c2) in fibroblast activation and rheumatologic diseases has not yet been investigated ...

Type I Interferon Drives Dysfunction of a Distinct CD8+ HLA‐DRB1+ T Cell Subset in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by type I interferon (IFN) signaling and adaptive immune dysregulation. We previously identified hypomethylation of HLA‐DRB1 and STAT1 in SLE CD8+ T cells, enabling aberrant IFN‐driven HLA‐DRB1 expression and expansion of a distinct CD8+ T cell subset. This study characterized CD8+ HLA‐DRB1+

Retinoic Acid Isomers Applied to Human Skin in Vivo Each Induce a 4-Hydroxylase That Inactivates Only Trans Retinoic Acid [PDF]

, 1996
Application of all-trans retinoic acid to human skin for 4 d under occlusion produces a marked increase in retinoic acid 4-hydroxylase activity. In this study, the possible induction of other hydroxylases in response to 9-cis and 13-cis retinoic acid ...

Plasma Proteome Reflects Tissue Damage and Clinical Manifestations in Patients With Inflammatory Myopathies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Tissue‐specific biomarkers that are reliable and associated with clinical manifestations of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) are lacking. The blood circulation in individuals serves as a central conduit, allowing communication between tissues and facilitating clearance and recycling of tissue‐derived proteins.

The control of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 long terminal repeat promoter activity by retinoic acid [PDF]

, 1995
The control of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) long terminal repeat (LTR) directed gene expression by the hormone all-trans-retinoic acid has been investigated.

Vitamin A retinoic acid contributes to muscle stem cell and mitochondrial function loss in old age

JCI Insight
Adult stem cells decline in number and function in old age, and identifying factors that can delay or revert age-associated adult stem cell dysfunction are vital for maintaining a healthy lifespan.

Improving HIV Outgrowth by Optimizing Cell-Culture Conditions and Supplementing With all-trans Retinoic Acid

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The persistence of replication-competent HIV reservoirs in people living with HIV (PLWH) receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a barrier to cure. Therefore, their accurate quantification is essential for evaluating the efficacy of new therapeutic ...

Knockout of the Bcmo1 gene results in an inflammatory response in female lung, which is suppressed by dietary beta-carotene [PDF]

, 2010
Beta-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase 1 knockout (Bcmo1 (-/-)) mice accumulate beta-carotene (BC) similarly to humans, whereas wild-type (Bcmo1 (+/+)) mice efficiently cleave BC.
