LRRK2 (PARK8) is the most common genetic determinant of Parkinson's disease (PD), with dominant mutations in causing inherited PD and sequence variation at locus associated increased risk for sporadic PD. Although has been implicated diverse cellular processes encompassing almost all compartments, precise functions remain unclear. Here, we show that Drosophila homolog (Lrrk) localizes to membranes late endosomes lysosomes, physically interacts crucial mediator endosomal transport Rab7...

BACKGROUND PGC-1α can be activated by deacetylation reactions catalyzed SIRT1. Resveratrol is currently known as a potent activator of However, it unknown whether the renal-protective effect resveratrol further related to activation podocyte SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway. MATERIAL AND METHODS High glucose was used stimulate mouse podocytes. and siRNA transfection were perform co-intervention treatments. The protein mRNA expression levels SIRT1, PGC-1α, NRF1, TFAM detect immunofluorescence, Western...

Although inhibitors targeting CDK4/6 kinases (CDK4/6i) have shown promising clinical prospect in treating ER+/HER2- breast cancers, acquired drug resistance is frequently observed and mechanistic knowledge needed to harness their full potential. Here, we report that inhibition of promotes βTrCP1-mediated ubiquitination proteasomal degradation RB1, facilitates SP1-mediated CDK6 transcriptional activation. Intriguingly, suppression CK1ε not only efficiently prevents RB1 from degradation, but...

Though the underlying mechanism remains elusive, a close relationship between psychological stress and intestinal inflammation has been widely accepted. Such link is very important to set basis for our understanding of critical role gut-brain axis (GBA) in homeostatic processes health disease. Probiotics that could confer benefits mental through GBA are referred as “psychobiotics”. This study aimed further determine whether potential psychobiotic strain, Lactobacillus johnsonii BS15 prevent...

The indane scaffold, prevalent in bioactive natural products, underpins numerous therapeutics. Our group developed a series of 1,2-indane dimers, including PH46A (9), for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This study details the design, synthesis characterisation 21 compounds, 2,2-disubstituted indanones (16a-16h), indanols (17a-17h), indanes (18a-18h).

Microglia, the resident immune cells of central nervous system (CNS), are activated by various stimuli. Resting microglia basis normal neurogenesis, while may inhibit neurogenesis through production pro-inflammatory mediators and cytokines. Recent research suggests that irradiation. This play a role in radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI). DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), most deleterious form damage after ionizing radiation, rapidly trigger activation NF-kappaB pathway via p53-induced...

The human cytochrome P450 1A2 is an important drug metabolizing and procarcinogen activating enzyme. An experimental study found that a peripheral mutation, F186L, at ∼26 Å away from the enzyme's active site, caused significant reduction in enzymatic activity of deethylation reactions. In this paper, we explored effects mutation by carrying out molecular dynamics simulations structural analyses. We long-range F186L were through change protein flexibility collective motion main substrate...
