Global organelle profiling reveals subcellular localization and remodeling at proteome scale.

Defining the subcellular distribution of all human proteins and their remodeling across cellular states remains a central goal in cell biology. Here, we present a high-resolution strategy to map subcellular organization using organelle immunocapture coupled to mass spectrometry. We apply this workflow to a cell-wide collection of membranous and membraneless compartments.

Phytoecdysteroids: Quantification in Selected Plant Species and Evaluation of Some Effects on Gastric Smooth Muscles.

Phytoecdysteroids (PEs) are naturally occurring steroid compounds, that have recently gained significant attention, due to their diverse biological activities and high therapeutic potential. The aim of the present study was to quantify some PEs including 20-hydroxyecdysterone (20-HE), ponasterone A (PA), and turkesterone (TU) in selected plant foods and extract. Furthermore, the effects of 20-HE, TU, and extract, were investigated with in vitro methods using isolated smooth muscle tissues.

Neutrophil Biomarkers Can Predict Cardiotoxicity of Anthracyclines in Breast Cancer.

Doxorubicin (DOX), a commonly used anticancer agent, causes cardiotoxicity that begins with the first dose and may progress to heart failure years after treatment. An inflammatory response associated with neutrophil recruitment has been recognized as a mechanism of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to validate mRNA expression of the previously identified biomarkers of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, PGLYRP1, CAMP, MMP9, and CEACAM8, and to assay their protein expression in the peripheral blood of breast cancer patients.
