Previous studies revealed the importance of the third intracellular loop of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) in coupling to G(s) and G(i1) proteins. In order to further study the signaling mechanisms of GLP-1R, we tested three peptides, corresponding to the sequences of the first (IC(1)), the second (IC(2)), and the third (IC(3)) intracellular loop of GLP-1R, for their interactions with heterotrimeric G-proteins of different types (G(alphas), G(alphao), G(alphai1), and G(alpha11) plus G(beta1gamma2)) overexpressed in sf9 cells. IC(3) peptide powerfully stimulates all types of tested G-proteins, whereas IC(1) and IC(2) peptides show differential effects on G-proteins. Both IC(1) and IC(2) peptides activate G(s) and cooperate with IC(3) peptide in its stimulation. G(o) is not affected by IC(1) and IC(2). G(i1) and G(11) are not affected by IC(1), but are activated by IC(2), which in activation cooperates with IC(3). We suggest that GLP-1R is not coupled only to G(s) and G(i1), as shown previously, but also to G(o) and G(11). IC(3) loop is the main switch that mediates signaling via GLP-1R to G-proteins, while IC(1) and IC(2) loops are important in discrimination between different types of G-proteins.

AdeABC, AdeFGH, and AdeIJK efflux pumps as key factors in tigecycline resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii: a study from Western Balkan hospitals.
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis
January 2025
Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia.
Purpose: The present study investigated the role of resistance-nodulation-cell division (RND) efflux pumps in tigecycline resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates recovered from three Western Balkan countries (Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro).
Methods: A total of 37 A. baumannii isolates recovered from seven tertiary care hospitals in 2016 and 2022 were tested against tigecycline using broth microdilution method.
Isolated Lateralized Overgrowth - Phenotypic Spectrum and Molecular Alterations.

Division of Genetics, Department of Pediatrics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess molecular changes at the 11p15.5 locus in 32 patients with isolated lateralized overgrowth (ILO).
- Methylation-sensitive analyses revealed aberrations in 28% of patients, with some showing features similar to Silver Russell syndrome (SRS) and uniparental disomy (UPD) in 9% of cases, though patients did not fully meet SRS criteria.
- The findings suggest that ILO could be a mild variant of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), with significant implications for patient monitoring and diagnosis.
TMB Signature-Related RCAN2 Promotes Apoptosis by Upregulating EHF/DR5 Pathway in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Front Biosci (Landmark Ed)
July 2024
State Key Laboratory of Oncology in South China, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, 510060 Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.
Background: The tumour mutation burden (TMB) is a valuable indicator of the accumulation of somatic mutations, and is thought to be associated with the biological behaviour and prognosis of tumours. However, the related genetic mechanism for these association is still unclear. The aim of the present study was to identify the key gene(s) associated with TMB in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to investigate its biological functions, downstream transcription factors, and mechanism of action.

Objective: Intrinsic capacity (IC) and frailty are complementary constructs that encapsulate functional capacities of older adults. Although earlier studies suggest the utility of composite IC scores in predicting risk of frailty, key gaps remain with the lack of direct comparative studies between different IC scales and lack of a composite score based on the World Health Organization Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) tool. We aimed to compare different IC scales, including an ICOPE-based scale, in their predictive ability for risk of frailty at 2 years in healthy community-dwelling older adults.
