PINK1 and Parkin mediate mitophagy, the cellular process that clears dysfunctional mitochondria. Mitophagy is regulated by mitochondrial dynamics, but molecules linking these two processes remain poorly understood. Here, we show Sam50, core component of sorting assembly machinery (SAM), a critical regulator dynamics PINK1-Parkin-mediated mitophagy. In response to Sam50 depletion, normal tubular mitochondria are first fragmented subsequently merged into large spheres. interacts with...

Background Oxidative injury to retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors has been linked a number of diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated gene expression extensively studied at transcriptional levels. Also, the post-transcriptional control level translational regulation recently reported. However, microRNA (miRNA/miR)-mediated in human RPE cells not thoroughly looked at. Increasing evidence points potential role miRNAs...

Herein, we report a remotely controlled soft robot employing photoresponsive nanocomposite synthesized from liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), high elastic form-stable phase change polymer (HEPCP), and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Possessing two-stage deformation upon exposure to near-infrared (NIR) light, the LCE/HEPCP/MWCNT (LHM) allows exhibit an obvious, fast, reversible shape with low detection limitations. In addition bending of LCE molecular chains itself, HEPCP in composite...

Due to the stratum corneum barrier, resveratrol is difficult be absorbed transdermally, limiting its anti-aging and skin-brightening effects. Furthermore, there a lack of systematic studies on efficacy in human skin, especially three-dimensional skin models clinical trials. To overcome low transdermal delivery issue, we encapsulated into nanoliposomes using high-pressure homogenization method develop an efficient drug system, systematically evaluated via cell line models, model skin. The...

Location is a critical determinant in dictating the cellular function of protein kinase C (PKC). Scaffold proteins contribute to localization by poising PKC at specific intracellular sites. Using yeast two-hybrid screen, we identified centrosomal pericentrin as scaffold that tethers betaII centrosomes. Co-immunoprecipitation studies reveal native interact cells. Co-overexpression show interaction mediated C1A domain and segment within residues 494-593. Immunofluorescence analysis reveals...

Dehydrocostus lactone (DHL), a natural sesquiterpene isolated from the traditional Chinese herbs Saussurea lappa and Inula helenium L., has important anti-inflammatory properties used for treating colitis, fibrosis, Gram-negative bacteria-induced acute lung injury (ALI). However, effects of DHL on Gram-positive macrophage activation ALI remains unclear. In this study, we found that inhibited phosphorylation p38 MAPK, degradation IκBα, nuclear translocation NF-κB p65, but enhanced...

Face masks, which serve as personal protection equipment, have become ubiquitous for combating the ongoing COVID-19. However, conventional electrostatic-based mask filters are disposable and short-term effective with high breathing resistance, causing respiratory ailments massive consumption (129 billion monthly), intensifying global environmental pollution. In an effort to address these challenges, introduction of a piezoelectric polymer was adopted realize charge-laden melt-blown via...

Tat stimulation of HIV-1 transcriptional elongation is species-specific and believed to require a specific cellular cofactor present in many human primate cells but not nonpermissive rodent cells. Human P-TEFb, composed Cdk9 cyclin T1, general transcription factor that phosphorylates the C-terminal domain RNA polymerase II. Previous studies have also implicated P-TEFb as Tat-specific and, particular, T1 responsible for activation. To obtain functional evidence support these hypotheses, we...
