Bilirubin Targeting WNK1 to Alleviate NLRP3‐Mediated Neuroinflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
At physiological concentrations, bilirubin binds to the kinase domain of WNK1, thereby augmenting its activity and facilitating the phosphorylation of downstream SPAK/OSR1. This phosphorylation inhibits KCC2 activity, leading to elevate intracellular chloride levels in neurons.

Exploring Multi‐Organ Crosstalk via the TissUse HUMIMIC Chip System: Lessons Learnt So Far

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three‐dimensional (3D) in vitro cell culture models have revolutionized biomedical research by mimicking the complex 3D in vivo environment in the human body. Different types of 3D models have been established, including heterotypic systems such as, organ‐on‐a‐chips which have been further developed into multiorgan‐on‐chip systems that ...

17β-Estradiol up-regulates UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 expression via estrogen receptor α

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2016
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 (UGT1A9) is a major phase II enzyme responsible for elimination of drugs and endogenous molecules. Clinical data have shown increased elimination of UGT1A9 substrates in pregnant women or oral contraceptive users, but the ...

Cytotoxic Activity of Opopanax hispidus (Friv.) Griseb.: Characterization of a New Chalcone‐type Compound

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to investigate cytotoxic compounds of Opopanax hispidus (Friv.) Griseb. through in vitro, in silico, and phytochemical analyses. The cytotoxic activity of O. hispidus was evaluated against four different cancer cell lines – lung (A549), breast (MCF‐7), liver (HepG2), and cervix (HeLa) – as well as one healthy cell line (

Regulation of Sulfotransferase and UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase Gene Expression by the PPARs

PPAR Research, 2009
During phase II metabolism, a substrate is rendered more hydrophilic through the covalent attachment of an endogenous molecule. The cytosolic sulfotransferase (SULT) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) families of enzymes account for the majority of ...

Antinociceptive and Anti‐inflammatory Effect of Nicandrin B Isolated From Datura ferox in Zebrafish

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nicandrin B (Nic B), a withanolide isolated from Datura ferox leaves, was investigated for its antinociceptive and anti‐inflammatory effects in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). Animals treated with Nic B (4, 20, and 40 mg/kg) showed no toxicity and maintained normal locomotor activity.

Biosynthesis of hydroxyl-linked glucuronides of short-chain bile acids by rat liver 3-hydroxysteroid UDP-glucuronosyltransferase.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1988
Microsomal preparations from livers of Sprague-Dawley rats catalyze the glucuronidation of 3 alpha-hydroxy-5 beta-H (3 alpha, 5 beta) short-chain bile acids (C20-C23), predominantly at the hydroxyl group, while the glucuronidation of 3 beta, 5 beta short-

Changes in Protein Expression of Renal Drug Transporters and Drug‐Metabolizing Enzymes in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most prevalent inherited kidney disease and leads to bilateral kidney enlargement and progressive loss of renal function, often over decades. Comorbidities include hypertension, flank pain, and bacterial infections. The condition often necessitates prolonged multidrug therapy.

Advancing Predictions of Oral Drug Absorption, CYP3A4 Induction, and Transporter‐Mediated Interactions Using a Human Primary Intestinal 3D Model (EpiIntestinal™)

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Accurate prediction of oral drug absorption in humans is essential for early drug development; however, physiologically relevant human models are lacking. This study aims to comprehensively assess the EpiIntestinal™, a human primary intestinal 3D model, for its ability to predict oral absorption (Fa), intestinal availability (Fg), CYP3A4 induction, and

Is Ceftriaxone-Induced Biliary Pseudolithiasis Influenced by UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 Gene Polymorphisms?

Case Reports in Medicine, 2011
Ceftriaxone (cfx), a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, leads to transient cholelithiasis in some children, also known as pseudolithiasis. However, the underlying pathogenetic mechanism of this adverse effect has not yet been elucidated.
