Mitochondria are critical cellular energy resources and central to the life of neuron. Mitophagy selectively clears damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria through autophagic machinery maintain mitochondrial quality control homeostasis. Mature neurons postmitotic consume substantial energy, thus require highly efficient mitophagy pathways turn over mitochondria. Recent evidence indicates that is pivotal pathogenesis neurological diseases. However, more work needed study pathway components as...

Abstract Chemokines secreted by dendritic cells (DCs) play a key role in the regulation of inflammation and autoimmunity through chemokine receptors. However, receptor CXCR1 inflammation-inducing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains largely enigmatic. Here we reported that compared with healthy controls, level was aberrantly increased multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Knockout not only ameliorated disease severity EAE mice but...

Despite the importance of WRKY genes in plant physiological processes, little is known about their roles Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer. Forty-eight unigenes on this species were previously reported as transcripts using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. Subsequently, one gene that encodes PgWRKY1 protein belonging to subgroup II-d was cloned and functionally characterized. In study, eight from NGS-based transcriptome dataset designated PgWRKY2-9 have been The encoding proteins assigned...

Abstract Background Gastric cancer is a highly prevalent type and the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase (USP) 29 has been suggested to regulate cell fate in several types of cancer, but its potential role gastric carcinogenesis remains unclear. Methods The expression USP29 normal tissues was analyzed by bioinformatics analysis, immunohistochemistry immunoblot. Gene overexpression, CRISPR-Cas9 technology, RNAi, Usp29 knockout mice were used...

Previous studies have shown that recombinant Trichinella spiralis galectin (rTsgal) is characterized by a carbohydrate recognition domain sequence motif binding to beta-galactoside, and rTsgal promotes larval invasion of intestinal epithelial cells. Galactomannan an immunostimulatory polysaccharide composed mannan backbone with galactose residues. The aim this study was investigate whether galactomannan inhibits intrusion cells enhances antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC),...

Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) effectively utilizes dietary sucrose for the exopolysaccharide productions, which are mostly synthesized by effects of glucosyltransferases (Gtfs). In present study, acetylome S. was identified and quantitative analysis bacterial biofilm growth (SMB) compared with that planktonic (SMP). The dynamic changes protein acetylation were quantified using integrated approach involving TMT labeling Kac affinity enrichment followed high-resolution mass...

Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) are endogenous arachidonic acid metabolites, modulating diverse physiological processes including inflammation cardiovascular homeostasis through activating PGF2α receptor (FP) TXA2 (TP). Ligands targeting FP TP have demonstrated efficacy in treating conditions like glaucoma diseases humans, as well reproductive-related animals. Here, we present five cryoelectron microscopy structures illustrating complex with Gq bound to (endogenous...

Toll-interacting protein (Tollip) is a critical regulator of Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated innate immune responses. However, the Tollip gene has not been systematically characterized in shellfish. In this study, we identified and gene, PyTollip, Yesso scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis). Phylogenetic structural analyses were conducted to determine its sequence identities evolutionary relationships. Compared with genes from other invertebrate vertebrate species, PyTollip highly conserved...

Abstract Background Sepsis is a troublesome syndrome that can cause intestinal injury and even high mortality rates. Omega-3 fatty acids (FAs) are known to protect against damage. Accordingly, the current study set out explore if omega-3 FAs could affect sepsis-induced with involvement of microRNA (miR)-1-3p/Notch3-Smad axis. Methods First, cecal ligation perforation (CLP) was performed establish septic mouse models in C57BL/6J mice, epithelial MODE-K cells were induced by lipopolysaccharide...
