Regulatory sites of CaM-sensitive adenylyl cyclase AC8 revealed by cryo-EM and structural proteomics.

Membrane adenylyl cyclase AC8 is regulated by G proteins and calmodulin (CaM), mediating the crosstalk between the cAMP pathway and Ca signalling. Despite the importance of AC8 in physiology, the structural basis of its regulation by G proteins and CaM is not well defined. Here, we report the 3.

Gastric ultrasound, citrulline, and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein as markers of gastrointestinal dysfunction in critically ill patients: A pilot prospective cohort study.

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction is common in the intensive care unit (ICU), although there is no consensus on biomarkers of GI dysfunction. We aimed to evaluate ultrasound-based gastric antrum measurements and serum intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (IFABP) and citrulline levels in relation to GI dysfunction in critically ill patients.

Methods: Adult critically ill patients receiving enteral nutrition and stayed for in the ICU for ≥48 h was included.

New Avenues to Explore in SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Both TRIM25 and TRIM56 Positively Correlate with VEGF, GAS6, and sAXL in COVID-19 Patients.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic poses a significant threat to human health. Many hypotheses regarding pathogenesis have been proposed and are being tried to be clarified by experimental and clinical studies. This study aimed to reveal the roles of the innate immune system modulator GAS6/sAXL pathway, endothelial dysfunction markers vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1, and antiviral effective TRIM25 and TRIM56 proteins in pathogenesis of COVID-19.

The effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based structured exercise therapy for chronic nonspecific neck pain: A randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of telerehabilitation-based remote supervised or unsupervised structured exercise therapy on pain, disability, and quality of life related to chronic nonspecific neck pain.

Method: The study was designed as a single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Sixty-six eligible chronic nonspecific neck pain patients were randomized across three groups: remote supervised group (RSG, n = 22), unsupervised group (UG, n = 22), and waitlist control group (CG, n = 22).

SAHA induce hippo pathway in CCA cells without increasing cell proliferation.

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant tumor originating from bile duct epithelial cells. Since tumor metastasis is associated with poor prognosis and short-term survival of patients, there is an urgent need for alternative therapeutic approaches for CCA. Because of that reason, we aimed to investigate effect of SAHA which is known as HDAC inhibitor on extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cell line (TFK-1).

The Effect of Inhibition through DZNep on Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Mechanism.

Although the molecular pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is uncertain, it is known that the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) mechanism and epigenetic changes have an important role. This study was focused on evaluating the relationship of 3-Deazaneplanocin A (DZNep) with the EMT mechanism, which is a histone methyltransferase inhibitor on HCC and is also known as an enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) inhibitor. Cell viability of HepG2 cells (HCC cell line) assessed for DZNep over 72 hours with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.

Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA) Reduces Fibrosis Markers and Deactivates Human Stellate Cells via the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT).

Hepatic fibrosis is known as the accumulation of connective tissue secondary to chronic damage to the liver. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) corresponding increase in liver fibrogenesis was shown with immunohistochemistry and PCR-based studies. Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), a synthetic compound approved as a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDAC) by the FDA to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is under investigation for the treatment of lung and renal fibrosis.

Quercetin adsorption with imprinted polymeric materials.

In this study, molecularly imprinted polymer membranes were synthesized for the recognition and adsorption of quercetin. For this, quercetin imprinted polymeric membranes [p(HEMA-MAH)] (Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co--methacryloly-l-histidinemethylester) were synthesized by UV polymerization technique using HEMA and MAH as monomers. Synthesized polymeric membranes were characterized with SEM, FTIR and swelling test.
