ENT3: A lysosomal urate transporter regulating urate disposition and macrophage inflammation

iScience
Summary: Urate is the final oxidation product of purine metabolism in humans, and its extracellular accumulation leads to the formation of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals that trigger gout.

Ionic Gating of Liquid‐Crystal‐Like Pteridine Assemblies Enables Tunable Light Scattering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Tunable optical properties emerge through developmentally regulated ionic gating, which transforms disordered, ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing organelles into concentrically ordered, liquid‐crystal‐like light scatterers. By integrating analyses of pteridine composition, potassium‐dependent assembly, hierarchical ultrastructure, and optical behavior, the ...

Genetic Basis of the Epidemiological Features and Clinical Significance of Renal Hypouricemia

Biomedicines, 2022
A genetic defect in urate transporter 1 (URAT1) is the major cause of renal hypouricemia (RHUC). Although RHUC is detected using a serum uric acid (UA) concentration

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

Switching from febuxostat to dotinurad, a novel selective urate reabsorption inhibitor, may substantially reduce serum urate levels, through URAT1 inhibition, potentially without adversely affecting ABCG2 function: findings from the SWITCH SURI study

Frontiers in Endocrinology
BackgroundDotinurad is a novel selective urate transporter 1 (URAT1) inhibitor recently introduced in Japan. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dotinurad in hyperuricemic patients with type 2 diabetic kidney disease by comparing serum

The GPX3‐VCAM1 Axis Gates Pro‐Fibrotic Tubule Cell Fate in Hyperuricemic Nephropathy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hyperuricemia induces NLRP3 inflammasome signaling activation and downregulation of GPX3 in proximal tubular epithelial cells, leading to oxidative stress–driven VCAM1 upregulation, emergence of pro‐fibrotic proximal tubule cells, macrophage recruitment, and renal fibrosis.

Dataset for: Urate transport function of rat sodium-dependent nucleobase transporter 1

, 2018
Sodium-dependent nucleobase transporter 1 (SNBT1) is a nucleobase-specific transporter identified in our recent study. In an attempt to search for its potential substrates other than nucleobases in the present study, we could successfully find urate, a ...

AMP-activated protein kinase α2 contributes to acute and chronic hyperuricemic nephropathy via renal urate deposition in a mouse model

European Journal of Medical Research, 2022
Hyperuricemia can induce acute and chronic kidney damage, but the pathological mechanism remains unclear. The potential role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) α2 in hyperuricemia-induced renal injury was investigated in this study. Acute and chronic
