The photoswitchable cannabinoid azo‐HU308 enables optical control of Ca2+ dynamics in INS‐1 β‐cells via off‐target effects on TRPC channels

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Light activation of the photoswitchable cannabinoid ligand azo‐HU308 triggers Ca2+ influx in pancreatic β‐cells through TRPC channels, independent of CB2 cannabinoid receptors. This reveals a non‐GPCR pathway for cannabinoid modulation of β‐cell Ca2+ dynamics and establishes azo‐HU308 as an optical tool to study cannabinoid signaling through TRP ...

SmallTalk: a novel small‐sized fusion tag for peptide expression and purification

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The SmallTalk fusion tag allows for the efficient expression and purification of soluble recombinant proteins or peptides in Escherichia coli. Testing with SmallTalk‐GFP confirmed that the proteins were soluble and folded correctly, while SmallTalk‐Bin1b maintained its antimicrobial activity against various bacterial isolates. This streamlined workflow

Naked cuticle is essential for Drosophila wing development beyond Wingless signaling

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Naked cuticle (Nkd), a Wnt signaling inhibitor, assumes extensive roles in Drosophila wing development. Overexpressing Nkd causes smaller, crumpled wings, while also perturbing multiple signaling pathways and developmental genes. A specific region (R1S) is critical for Nkd's function as a signaling integrator, offering new insights for studying its ...

Establishment of a coculture system for Porphyromonas gingivalis and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma using spheroid culture and LATS inhibition

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We established a spheroid coculture system enabling viable Porphyromonas gingivalis–HNSCC interactions under normoxic conditions. Inhibition of LATS1/2 maintains tumor cells in an undifferentiated state, which may promote spheroid growth and create a more permissive environment for bacterial persistence.

Antibiofilm activity of a chionodracine‐derived peptide by NMR‐based metabolomics of cell‐free supernatant of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KHS‐Cnd peptide is able to impair biofilm formation and disaggregate mature biofilms in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. Differences in extracellular metabolites reflect changes in biofilm metabolism due to KHS‐Cnd treatment. Among the differentially represented extracellular metabolites upon KHS‐Cnd treatment, the significantly altered ...

Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 4A1 (PTP4A1) Regulates Early Events in Colorectal Cancer Intraperitoneal Dissemination in the Aged Male Host

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality is highest in aged males. Pre‐clinical data comparing CRC i.p. metastasis in cohorts of young and aged, male and female mice support these finding. Bottom‐up proteomics of peritoneal mesothelial cells identified PTP4A1 as highly expressed in aged males and a role for PTP4A1 in heterotypic cell:cell adhesion was ...

Expert consensus on research paradigms and technological layout for clinical priority diseases in traditional Chinese medicine: Rheumatoid arthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Chinese Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, highly disabling autoimmune disease. Although modern medical treatments have made progress, challenges such as suboptimal efficacy, relapse, difficulties in comorbidity management, and side effects persist.

Progress of research on delaying bone destruction of rheumatoid arthritis by combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine

open access: yesAdvanced Chinese Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease with bone destruction as the core pathology, which belongs to the category of “impediment disease” in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and its etiology and pathogenesis are still not completely clear.
