Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes catalyze hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) generating diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP(3)). The PLC beta isoforms of PLCs are activated by G proteins after hormone or neurotransmitter stimulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). PLC epsilon is a recently identified PLC isoform that is activated by Ras and G beta gamma subunit although the physiological role of this enzyme is not well understood. Methods for purification of PLC beta and PLC epsilon from Sf9 cells are described. In the case of hexahistidine (6-His)-tagged PLC beta the purification involves two steps, affinity chromatography with Ni-NTA agarose followed by heparin Sepharose chromatography. 6-His-tagged PLC epsilon can be purified in a single step with nickel nitrilotriacetic acid-agarose (Ni-NTA) affinity chromatography.

miRNA-328-3p regulates ZO-1 expression and inhibits PEDV proliferation via the PLC-β1-PKC pathway.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a significant pathogen affecting swine, causing severe economic losses worldwide. This study explores the regulatory role of miRNA-328-3p to ZO-1 expression and its impact on PEDV proliferation via the PLC-β1-PKC pathway in IPEC-J2 cells. We found that miRNA-328-3p can target ZO-1, influencing its expression and subsequently affecting the integrity of tight junctions in the cells.

Background & Aims: Skeletal muscle (SM) health has significant prognostic value in geriatric and chronic disease populations, yet its assessment is frequently omitted due to challenges in evaluation. The creatinine-to-cystatin C ratio (CCR) is a simple serum-based measure that associates well with measured SM quantity (myopenia) and strength, but evidence for its association with SM quality (myosteatosis) is limited and conflicting. This study investigated the association between CCR and computed tomography (CT) measures of myopenia and myosteatosis.

Altered gut microbiota is linked to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but its association with disease development, disease activity, and post-intervention changes remains unclear. We compared new-onset SLE (NOSLE, n = 25), SLE in remission (RemSLE, n = 30), and healthy controls (HC, n = 30) cross-sectionally and conducted the first longitudinal analysis of NOSLE patients (n = 22) from pre-intervention to remission over 12 months. Significant β-diversity differences were observed in both NOSLE and RemSLE compared to HC, but not between NOSLE and RemSLE.

Klotho has been importantly linked to atherosclerosis, but little is known about its specific role. This study investigates the mechanism by which Klotho enhances the stability of atherosclerotic plaques in chronic kidney disease. apoE-/- knockout mice and C57BL/6 mice underwent 5/6 nephrectomy and then klotho-NC and klotho-mimic groups were set up to be fed a high-fat chow diet and a dummy group was created to be fed a normal chow diet.
