Leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LRS) is known to function as leucine sensor in the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway. However, pathophysiological significance its activity not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that for mTORC1 activation LRS can be decoupled from catalytic activity. We identified compounds inhibit leucine-dependent pathway by specifically inhibiting GTPase activating LRS, while affecting For further analysis, selected one compound, BC-LI-0186, which binds...
Even low-intensity blue light emitted by display devices exerts hazardous effects on RPE cells, which might be solved if contain less short wavelength light.
Significance LRS, an enzyme involved in protein synthesis, and Sestrin2, a stress-induced metabolic protein, are suggested to function as leucine sensors for the mTORC1 pathway, central regulator of cell metabolism, growth, proliferation, survival. The Rag GTPase cycle regulates mTORC1; however, regulators their coordination remain unknown. We show dynamics RagD–RagB during signaling describe contrasting yet complementary roles LRS Sestrin2 GTPase–mTORC1 functioning “ON” “OFF” switches,...
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) contribute to the resistance of intractable prostate cancer, and dopamine receptor (DR)D2 antagonists exhibit anticancer activity against cancer CSCs. Human PC-3 were used generate CSC-like cells, serving as a surrogate system identify specific DR subtype inhibition which significantly affects prostate-derived Additionally, present study aimed determine downstream signaling molecules this that exert more profound effects compared with other subtypes. The inhibitory...
Silymarin, a polyphenolic flavonoid antioxidant, is known to have anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and anticarcinogenic effects. In the present study, we report inhibitory effect of silymarin on nitric oxide production inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression in macrophages. vivo administration attenuated by peritoneal macrophages lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated mice. Silymarin also dose dependently suppressed LPS-induced isolated mouse RAW 264.7, murine macrophage-like...
Here, we investigated whether titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles affect in vivo tumor growth through the modulation of mononuclear leukocytes. In vitro lymphocyte proliferation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or concanavalin A (ConA) was reduced < 25 nm TiO2 with a dose-dependent manner. Similarly, inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production from bone marrow-derived macrophages obtained naïve mice. When mice were intraperitoneally (IP) injected 100 once day for 7 days, total cell number...
Five new sesterterpenes, 14,15-dehydro-6-epi-ophiobolin K (1), 14,15-dehydro- ophiobolin (2), G (3), 14,15-dehydro-ophiobolin (4) and 14,15-dehydro-(Z)-14-ophiobolin (5), together with four known ophiobolins (6-9) were isolated from the marine fungus Aspergillus flocculosus derived seaweed Padina sp. collected in Vietnam. The five first as derivatives consisting of a fully unsaturated side chain. Their structures elucidated via spectroscopic methods including 1D, 2D NMR HR-ESIMS. absolute...
