Abstract Whether stem-cell-like cancer cells avert ferroptosis to mediate therapy resistance remains unclear. In this study, using a soft fibrin gel culture system, we found that tumor-repopulating (TRCs) with cell characteristics resist chemotherapy and radiotherapy by decreasing sensitivity. Mechanistically, through quantitative mass spectrometry lipidomic analysis, determined mitochondria metabolic kinase PCK2 phosphorylates activates ACSL4 drive ferroptosis-associated phospholipid...
Deposition of aggregated amyloid β-protein (Aβ), a proteolytic cleavage product the precursor protein (1), is critical step in development Alzheimer's disease (2). However, we are far from understanding molecular mechanisms underlying initiation Aβ polymerization <i>in vivo</i>. Here, report that seeding Aβ, which catalyzes fibrillogenesis soluble generated apically missorted cultured epithelial cells. Furthermore, generation this depends exclusively on presence cholesterol Taken together...
Abstract Cut gardenia ( Gardenia jasminoides Ellis) foliage is widely used as a vase material or flower bouquet indoors; however, insufficient indoor light accelerates its senescence, which shortens viewing time. In this study, applying melatonin to delay leaf senescence when exposed extremely low condition (darkness), and the results showed that 1.0 mM was effective concentration. At concentration, chlorophyll contents fluorescence parameters (F v /F m , F 0 Y(II)) increased, while...

Under selective conditions sensor exhibits excellent sensitivity of 98 nA/M a linear range 0.1-6.0 mM. apparent Michanelis-Menten constant 21 response time less than 60 seconds. No change in to was observed during one month. Foremost, interference ascorbic uric...
Susceptibility to pepsin digestion of candidate transgene products is regarded an important parameter in the weight-of-evidence approach for allergenicity risk assessment genetically modified crops. It has been argued that protocols used this should better reflect physiological conditions encountered representative food consumption scenarios. To evaluate whether inclusion more conditions, such as sub-optimal and lower concentrations, combination with pancreatin digestion, improved...
Familial Alzheimer disease-causing mutations in the presenilins increase production of longer pathogenic amyloid β-peptides (Aβ42/43) by altering γ-secretase activity. The mechanism underlying this effect remains unknown, although it has been proposed that heteromeric macromolecular complexes containing mediate cleavage β-precursor protein. Using a random mutagenesis screen presenilin-1 (PS1) for PS1 endoproteolysis-impairing mutations, we identified five unique mutants, including R278I-PS1...
The susceptibility of a dietary protein to proteolytic degradation by digestive enzymes, such as gastric pepsin, provides information on the likelihood systemic exposure structurally intact and biologically active macromolecule, thus informing safety proteins for human animal consumption. Therefore, purpose standardized in vitro studies that are performed during assessments is distinguish whether interest susceptible or resistant pepsin via study design enables study-to-study comparison....
Galanthamine, one kind of Amaryllidaceae alkaloid extracted from the Lycoris species, is used in treatment Alzheimer's disease. In regards to medical and economic importance, biosynthesis regulatory mechanism secondary metabolites remain uninvestigated.BLAST was identify sequence tyrosine decarboxylase transcriptome aurea (L'Hér) Herb. The enzyme activity this TYDC determined by using heterologous expressed protein Escherichia coli cells. related productive contents tyramine were detected...
The susceptibility of newly expressed proteins to digestion by gastrointestinal proteases (e.g., pepsin) has long been regarded as one the important endpoints in weight-of-evidence (WOE) approach assess allergenic risk genetically modified (GM) crops. European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) suggested that current study protocols used for this assessment should be more accurately reflect diverse physiological conditions encountered human populations and post-digestion analysis include...
The phytochemical investigation of the roots Croton crassifolius led to isolation 16 new halimane furanoditerpenoids, crohalifuranes A–P (1–16), along with 15 known analogues, 17–31. structures including their absolute configurations were elucidated by NMR and MS data analysis, comparison experimental calculated electronic circular dichroism data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction chemical methods. Crohalifuranes A (1) B (2) are tetranor- 19-nor-halimane diterpenoids featuring a rare...
Integrin αV gene expression is often dysregulated in cancers especially hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, the mechanism of regulation poorly understood. Here, it demonstrated that sulfatide activated integrin transcription, through histone H3K9/14 acetylation at promoter, and high are closely associated with poor prognosis. To elucidate acetylation, sulfatide-bound proteins were screened by mass spectrometry (MS), bromodomain containing protein 1 (BRD1) was identified as an...
Abstract Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a cerebrovascular narrowing and occlusive condition characterized by progressive stenosis of the terminal portion internal carotid artery formation an abnormal network dilated, fragile perforators at base brain. However, role PANoptosis, apoptotic mechanism associated with vascular disease, has not been elucidated in MMD. In our study, total 40 patients’ genetic data were included, 815 MMD-related differential genes screened, including 215 upregulated 600...
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number (CN) is a biomarker of mitochondrial function and has been reported associated with kidney disease. However, its association IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common cause glomerulonephritis (GN), not evaluated. We included 664 patients biopsy-proven IgAN measured mtDNA-CN in peripheral blood by multiplexed real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). examined associations between clinical variables found that higher had estimated...
The integration of omic data with metabolic networks has been demonstrated to be an effective approach elucidate the underlying mechanisms in life. Because pathways Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis (T. tengcongensis) are incomplete, we used a 1-(13)C-glucose culture monitor intracellular isotope-labeled metabolites by GC/MS and identified gap gene glucose catabolism, Re-citrate synthase. Based on genome annotation biochemical information, reconstructed network metabolism amino acid synthesis...
