Structural and biochemical basis for retinol‐binding protein 4 antagonism by tinlarebant

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Retinol‐binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a member of the lipocalin superfamily that is connected to disease states such as insulin resistance, fatty liver disease and ocular disorders including Stargardt disease. Several retinoid and non‐retinoid antagonists of this protein have been developed for potential clinical use, but none have

STRA6, as a Novel binding receptor of COVID-19 (Insilco study) [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract Background A global pandemic of pneumonia caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) began in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019. Although, the ACE2 receptor has been shown to be the main entry receptor of COVID-19, but here, in our docking analysis, we predicted and discovered a novel receptor called ...

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

TNFSF14/LIGHT responses in intestinal and oesophageal fibroblasts are differentially modulated by hydroxylase inhibitors

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend LIGHT is a mutual mediator of intestinal and oesophageal fibroblast inflammation with common as well as tissue‐specific effects. Hydroxylase inhibitors can selectively suppress inflammatory factors in both cell types, albeit targeting different signalling pathways.

Identification of estrogen response-associated STRA6+ granulosa cells within high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma by single-cell sequencing

Heliyon
Background: High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is a pathologic subtype of ovarian cancer (OC) with a more lethal prognosis. Extensive heterogeneity results in HGSOC being more susceptible to treatment resistance and adverse treatment effects ...

Retinol and vitamin A metabolites accumulate through RBP4 and STRA6 changes in a psoriasis murine model

Nutrition & Metabolism, 2020
Background Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that features the abnormal proliferation of keratinocytes. This proliferation could partly result from disturbances in vitamin A metabolism. Changes in psoriasis patients of the levels of

Dynamic Remodeling of Oocyte‐Granulosa Cell Communication During Bovine Folliculogenesis Revealed by Transcriptomic Meta‐Analyses

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 18, 30 September 2026.
Bidirectional communication between oocytes and granulosa cells undergoes progressive remodeling during bovine folliculogenesis. Integrative transcriptomic analysis identified stage‐specific ligand‐receptor signaling networks coordinating structural, metabolic, and developmental processes.

Evaluating High‐Confidence Genes in Conotruncal Cardiac Defects by Gene Burden Analyses

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background In nonsyndromic conotruncal cardiac defects, the use of next‐generation sequencing for clinical diagnosis is increasingly adopted, but gene‐disease associations in research are only partially translated to diagnostic panels, suggesting a need ...

An Integrated Proteomics and Genomics Approach to Identify Essential Protein Kinases During Human Trophoblast Development

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 17, 15 September 2026.
Integrated quantitative proteomic, phosphoproteomic, and transcriptomic analyses of human trophoblast stem cells identify stage‐specific kinase signaling networks that regulate trophoblast self‐renewal and differentiation into syncytiotrophoblasts and extravillous trophoblasts.

The retinol-binding protein receptor STRA6 regulates diurnal insulin responses [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
It has long been appreciated that insulin action is closely tied to circadian rhythms. However, the mechanisms that dictate diurnal insulin sensitivity in metabolic tissues are not well understood. Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) has been implicated as a driver of insulin resistance in rodents and humans, and it has become an attractive drug target in
