Augmented renal clearance of aminoglycosides using population-based pharmacokinetic modelling with Bayesian estimation in the paediatric ICU.

Objective: To evaluate augmented renal clearance (ARC) using aminoglycoside clearance (CLAMINO24h) derived from pharmacokinetic (PK) modelling.

Methods: A retrospective study at two paediatric hospitals of patients who received tobramycin or gentamicin from 1999 to 2016 was conducted. Compartmental PK models were constructed using the Pmetrics package, and Bayesian posteriors were used to estimate CLAMINO24h.

Nuclear factor-erythroid-2 related transcription factor-1 (Nrf1) is regulated by O-GlcNAc transferase.

The Nrf1 (Nuclear factor E2-related factor 1) transcription factor performs a critical role in regulating cellular homeostasis. Using a proteomic approach, we identified Host Cell Factor-1 (HCF1), a co-regulator of transcription, and O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), the enzyme that mediates protein O-GlcNAcylation, as cellular partners of Nrf1a, an isoform of Nrf1. Nrf1a directly interacts with HCF1 through the HCF1 binding motif (HBM), while interaction with OGT is mediated through HCF1.
