Astragaloside-IV (AS-IV) (C41H68O14) is a high-purity natural product extracted from Astragalus, which has demonstrated biological activities. However, the effect of AS-IV on retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains unclear. In this study, high glucose (HG) was shown to promote ARPE-19 RPE cell death, increase contents reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), enhance lipid peroxidation density mitochondrial membrane. contrast,...

Long-term light exposure, especially in the spectrum of blue light, frequently causes excessive oxidative stress dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Here, to gain insight into underlying mechanism, we focused on mitochondrial dynamics alterations under long-term exposure mouse and retinal cells. Six-month-old C57BL/6 mice were exposed (450 nm, 800 lx) for 2 weeks. The phenotypic changes retina assayed using haematoxylin-eosin staining transmission electron microscopy. significantly...

Abstract The oncogene protein ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T (UBE2T) is reported to be upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and correlated with poor clinical outcomes of HCC patients. However, the underlying mechanism by which UBE2T exerts its oncogenic function remains largely unexplored. In this study, vitro vivo experiments suggested that promoted development including proliferation metastasis. GSEA analysis indicated was positively pyrimidine metabolism, LC/MS-MS metabolomics...

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is an important regulator of hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism represents a potential pharmacological agent for the treatment type 2 diabetes obesity. Mice fed ketogenic diet (KD) develop insulin resistance in association with high levels FGF21, suggesting state FGF21 resistance. To address role resistance, we assessed action whole-body knock-out (FGF21 KO) male mice their littermate WT controls KD. Here, report that KO have increased production...

Mutations in Dyrk1b are associated with metabolic syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease humans. Our investigations showed that DYRK1B levels increased the of patients steatohepatitis (NASH) mice fed a high-fat, high-sucrose diet. Increasing mouse enhanced de novo lipogenesis (DNL), acid uptake, triacylglycerol secretion caused NASH hyperlipidemia. Conversely, knockdown was protective against high-calorie-induced hepatic steatosis fibrosis Mechanistically, DNL by activating mTORC2...

Talin1 is an adaptor protein that conjugates integrins to the cytoskeleton and regulates focal adhesion signaling. Several studies have found overexpressed in several tumor types promotes progression. However, explicit role of hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC ) progression still unclear its functional mechanism remains largely unknown. In this study, we showed a trend gradually decreasing expression from normal liver tissues hepatocirrhosis, hyperplasia, corresponding adjacent non‐tumor,...

Most inhibitors of Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) target its ATP-binding pocket. It is difficult, however, to use this pocket design very specific because catalytic highly conserved in the protein family CDKs. Here we report some short peptides targeting a noncatalytic near interface CDK2/Cyclin complex. Docking and molecular dynamics simulations were used select peptides, detailed dynamical network analysis revealed that these weaken complex formation via allosteric interactions. Our...
