Pseudomonas aeruginosa increases viscoelasticity and decreases transportability of artificial mucus

iScience
Summary: Muco-obstructive lung diseases presenting with mucin hyperconcentration can have increased viscoelasticity that prevents the mucus in the airways from being easily transported and that is prone to infection from opportunistic pathogens including

Malformin A1–mediated cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer cells occurs through pyroptosis and autophagy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study investigated the effects of the natural compound Malformin A1 (MA1) on the cytoskeleton that regulates cell proliferation and migration. Disruption of the cytoskeleton can impair these processes and promote cancer cell death. MA1 disrupted cytoskeletal organization, induced DNA damage, inflammation, activated autophagy, and pyroptosis ...

Ionomycin suppresses cancer cell growth by disrupting mitochondrial transcription

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, we identify a new function for the selective Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, as an inhibitor of mitochondrial transcription. Both total and nascent RNA analyses revealed that ionomycin treatment reduces the transcription of mitochondrial genes.

KDAC6 alters cell morphology and motility through positive and negative modulation of F‐actin distribution

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KDAC6 has been associated with cell motility and actin structures, but specific domain contributions are not established. The two catalytic domains have differential effects on motility and F‐actin regulation, affecting cortical F‐actin density, motility, stress fibers, and cell spreading.

Accurate and noninvasive prostate cancer detection using plasma‐derived extracellular vesicle RNA

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plasma extracellular vesicles were captured with WGA‐conjugated magnetic beads and profiled for RNA biomarkers. A three‐RNA panel (NM_024955, NR_047469, and NR_002564) distinguished prostate cancer from healthy controls and benign prostatic hyperplasia, supporting a simple, noninvasive approach to improve prostate cancer detection.

The validity and reliability of modified cough transport outcome using slower airflow for assessing mucus viscoelasticity

Journal of Associated Medical Sciences
Background: The cough transportability technique reflects changes in mucus rheology. However, the necessity of high airflow rates, such as 8 L/s, to carry out this technique limits its utility, as specialized setups or equipment are required. Objective:

Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ATP is best known as the cell's energy currency, but it also shapes how proteins fold, interact, aggregate and form biomolecular condensates. This review explains the emerging physical principles behind these effects, including weak binding to charged protein regions, magnesium‐dependent behaviour and concentration‐dependent control of protein ...

Transporters involved in hepatobiliary transport of drugs.

Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 2010
近年，ヒト肝臓において非常に多くのトランスポーターが同定・機能解析されるにつれて，トランスポーターの遺伝子多型や薬物間相互作用による機能変動が薬物動態に与える影響を明らかにするための臨床研究も続々と報告されてきている．それに伴い，異物解毒システムの中でのトランスポーターの重要性が広く認知されてきた．代謝によって消失すると考えられてきた薬物の中にも肝取り込みトランスポーターの基質が含まれていることが明らかとなり，取り込みトランスポーターの機能変動が薬物動態の変化につながる事例が複数報告されてきている．本稿では，ヒト肝臓に発現する主な薬物トランスポーターを紹介すると共に，これらの遺伝子多型・薬物間相互作用が薬物動態や薬効・副作用に与える影響について概説することを目指した．
