Biochemical basis of a 24-hour clock Circadian clocks keep organisms in synch with such daily cycles as illumination, activity, and food availability. The circadian cyanobacteria has the necessary period despite its three component proteins having biochemical activities that occur on much faster time scale. Abe et al. focused cyanobacterial KaiC, an adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) can autophosphorylate autodephosphorylate. slow ATPase activity which is linked to peptide isomerisation,...

Abstract Commensal bacteria generate immensely diverse active metabolites to maintain gut homeostasis, however their fundamental role in establishing an immunotolerogenic microenvironment the intestinal tract remains obscure. Here, we demonstrate that understudied murine commensal bacterium, Dubosiella newyorkensis , and its human homologue Clostridium innocuum have a probiotic immunomodulatory effect on dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis using conventional, antibiotic-treated germ-free...

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by chronic recurrent with profound itching. Most patients have personal and/or family history of atopic diseases. Several criteria been proposed for the diagnosis AD. Although clinical features childhood AD widely studied, there has less large-scale study on adult/adolescent The aim this was to investigate symmetrical eczema/AD and propose Chinese diagnostic AD.A hospital-based performed. Forty-two dermatological centers...

Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a very common urological disorder and has been gradually regarded as an immune-mediated disease. Multiple studies have indicated that the gut microflora plays pivotal part in immune homeostasis autoimmune development. However, whether affects CP/CPPS, underlying mechanism behind them remain unclear. Here, we built experimental prostatitis (EAP) mouse model by subcutaneous immunity identified its Th17/Treg frequency was imbalanced....

Abstract Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs)-based contrast agents are widely used for T 2 -weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in clinical diagnosis, highlighting the necessity and importance to evaluate their potential systematic toxicities. Although a few previous studies have documented toxicity concerns of IONPs major organs, limited data available on reproductive caused by IONPs, especially when administrated via intravenous injection mimic use MRI agents. Our study aimed determine...

Abstract Emerging evidence has highlighted that dysregulation of lipid metabolism in clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) is associated with tumor development and progression. HIF-2α plays an oncogenic role ccRCC involved abnormal accumulation. However, the underlying mechanisms between these two phenomena remain unknown. Here, MED15 was demonstrated to be a dominant factor for HIF-2α-dependent accumulation promoted transcriptional activation by directly binding promoter region, overexpression...

Autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved response to stress, has recently been implicated in cancer initiation and progression, but the detailed mechanisms functions have not yet fully elucidated. One major obstacle our understanding is lack of efficient robust method specifically monitor autophagic cells specimens. To identify molecular events associated with autophagy, we performed cDNA microarray analysis glioblastoma cell lines. Based on analysis, raised a polyclonal antibody against...

Abstract Therapeutic efficacy for prostate cancer is highly restricted by insufficient drug accumulation and the resistance to apoptosis immunogenic cell death (ICD). Although enhanced permeability retention (EPR) effect of magnetic nanomaterials could benefit from external field, it falls off rapidly with increased distance magnet surface. Considering deep location in pelvis, improvement EPR field limited. In addition, cGAS‐STING pathway inhibition‐related immunotherapy are major obstacles...
