Increased Transglutaminase 2 Expression and Activity in Rodent Models of Obesity/Metabolic Syndrome and Aging

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Diastolic dysfunction of the heart and decreased compliance of the vasculature and lungs (i.e., increased organ tissue stiffness) are known features of obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Similarly, cardiac diastolic dysfunction is associated with aging.

Unveiling the Complete Biosynthetic Pathway of Azacitidine: A Rare 1,3,5‐Triazine Nucleoside Derived From GTP

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The azacitidine biosynthetic gene cluster (aza BGC) was identified by the resistance‐gene‐guided comparative genomics method in Streptomyces mobaraensis IPIO2. The complete biosynthetic pathway of azacitidine, which follows a “base‐first‐then‐glycosylation” logic, was elucidated through in vivo and in vitro experiments.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Syndecan-4 regulates cell-surface trafficking and biological activity of transglutaminase-2 [PDF]

, 2009
Transglutaminase-2 (TG2) is a Ca2+-dependent crosslinking enzyme involved in the post-translational modification of proteins via the formation of Nε(γ-glutamyl)lysine isodipeptides.

Farnesyltransferase Enables Modular Assembly of Dual‐Functional Nanobody Conjugates for in Vivo Imaging of Inflammation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A modular farnesyltransferase‐based chemoenzymatic platform enables fast, site‐specific labeling of nanobodies for PET imaging of inflammation. CD11b‐targeted PET agents selectively image myeloid‐driven inflammation, while CD45‐targeted PET agents provide sensitive whole‐body immune mapping.

The effect of transglutaminase-2 inhibitor on pulmonary vascular remodeling in rats with pulmonary arterial hypertension

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2022
To investigate the relationship between transglutaminase type 2 (TG2) and pulmonary vascular remodeling in the formation of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and to investigate the effect of the inhibitor cystamine dihydrochloride on pulmonary ...

Discrepancies Between Micro Versus Macroscale Viscoelastic Properties in a Microplastic‐Tissue Composite Model

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the discrepancies between bulk mechanics and spatial mapping in a tissue‐mimetic hydrogel model. Microplastic particles create localized stiff mechanical microenvironments that are detectable by cellular‐scale nanoindentation but leave bulk properties unchanged as measured by rheology.

Genetically Programmed Shape‐Morphing of Engineered Living Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, bacterial and mammalian engineered living materials (ELMs) are presented, in which living cells direct genetically programmed and enzymatically mediated shape‐morphing. The resulting deformation and shape‐recovery can be actuated in a genetically controlled manner by an ELM incorporating out‐of‐equilibrium counteracting biochemical reactions with

Lung-specific interleukin 6 mediated transglutaminase 2 activation and cardiopulmonary fibrogenesis

Frontiers in Immunology
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) pathogenesis is driven by inflammatory and metabolic derangements as well as glycolytic reprogramming. Induction of both interleukin 6 (IL6) and transglutaminase 2 (TG2) expression participates in human and experimental ...
