Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...

Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) regulates trophoblast syncytialization through organelle stress–induced cellular senescence

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The inhibition of mitochondrial dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) impairs syncytialization and induces cellular senescence via mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum stress in human trophoblast stem cells, elevating sFlt1/PlGF levels, a hallmark of placental dysfunction in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Promiscuous stimulation of HSP70 ATPase activity by parasite‐derived J‐domains

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum exports three highly homologous yet functionally divergent J‐domain proteins into human erythrocytes. Here, we show that J‐domains isolated from all three proteins effectively stimulate the ATPase activity of both endogenous host and exported parasite HSP70 chaperones.

Identification of functional murine mitochondrial formyl peptides and their effects on myeloid‐derived suppressor cell generation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We first identified functional murine mitochondrial N‐formyl peptides (MT‐FPs) and investigated their effects on the in vitro myeloid‐derived suppressor cell (MDSC) generation from bone marrow cells. We demonstrated that MT‐FPs acted directly on bone marrow cells to promote MDSC generation and modulated the polymorphonuclear (PMN)‐MDSC/monocyte (M ...

Existence of stable periodic solutions for quasilinear parabolic problems in the presence of well-ordered lower and upper-solutions

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2002
We present existence and stability results for periodic solutions of quasilinear parabolic equation related to Leray-Lions's type operators. To prove existence and localization, we use the penalty method; while for stability we use an approximation ...

Upper and lower solutions method for Caputo-Hadamard fractional differential inclusions [PDF]

Mathematica Moravica, 2019
In this paper, we use some background concerning multivalued functions and set-valued analysis, the fixed point theorem of Bohnenblust-Karlin and the method of upper and lower solutions to investigate the existence of solutions for a class of boundary ...

Exon 7 splicing of ERα predicts poor prognosis and increases phenotypic heterogeneity in luminal a subtype breast cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ERα splice variant ERα∆7 lacks the C‐terminus, and its expression may change phenotypes of breast cancers. Our results showed that ERα∆7 is found in the luminal A subtype, and elevated ERα∆7 levels are linked to improved cell survival with lower proliferation and migration.

Monotone iterative method and regular singular nonlinear BVP in the presence of reverse ordered upper and lower solutions

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2012
Monotone iterative technique is employed for studying the existence of solutions to the second-order nonlinear singular boundary value problem $$ -ig(p(x)y'(x)ig)'+p(x)fig(x,y(x),p(x)y'(x)ig)=0 $$ for $0<x<1$ and $y'(0)=y'(1)=0$. Here $p(0)=0$

Development of human monoclonal antibodies against TARM1 by yeast display

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Human monoclonal antibodies against TARM1 are generated by yeast display‐guided selection. These antibodies bind to soluble and cell‐surface forms of TARM1. Also, these antibodies exhibit agonistic activity in the NFAT‐GFP reporter assay, indicating that TARM1 signaling can be functionally modulated by antibodies and suggesting TARM1 as a potential ...

Rotationally symmetric deformations of a spherical cap

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 1998
We prove the existence and uniqueness of rotationally symmetric solutions to a nonlinear boundary value problem representing the elastic deformation of a spherical cap.
