ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are involved in the transport of multiple substrates across cellular membranes, including metabolites, proteins, and drugs. Employing a functional fluorochrome export assay, we found that UVB irradiation strongly inhibits the activity of ABC transporters. Specific inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) restored the function of ABC transporters in UVB-irradiated cells, and PARP-1-deficient cells did not undergo UVB-induced membrane transport inhibition. These data suggest that PARP-1 activation is necessary for ABC transporter functional downregulation. The hydrolysis of poly(ADP-ribose) by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) was also required, since specific PARG inhibitors, which limit the production of ADP-ribose molecules, restored the function of ABC transporters. Furthermore, ADP-ribose molecules potently inhibited the activity of the ABC transporter P-glycoprotein. Hence, poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism appears to play a novel role in the regulation of ABC transporters.

Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide globally, has prompted concerns regarding its potential health impacts. This study aimed to explore the link between glyphosate exposure and renal function by combining NHANES, a zebrafish model, and metabolomics. A cross-sectional analysis of 2013-2014 NHANES data investigated the relationship between glyphosate exposure and renal function [albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)].

: The multiple drug-resistant phenomenon has long since plagued the effectiveness of various chemotherapies used in the treatment of patients with glioblastoma (GBM), which is still incurable to this day. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters function as drug transporters and have been touted to be the main culprits in developing resistance to xenobiotic drugs in GBM. : This review systematically analyzed the efficacy of ABC transporters against various anticancer drugs from 16 studies identified from five databases (PubMed, Medline, Embase, Scopus, and ScienceDirect).

Analyzing the genetic architecture of hereditary forms of diabetes in different populations is a critical step toward optimizing diagnostic and preventive algorithms. This requires consideration of regional and population-specific characteristics, including the spectrum and frequency of pathogenic variants in targeted genes. As part of this study, we used a custom-designed NGS panel to screen for mutations in 28 genes associated with the pathogenesis of hereditary diabetes mellitus in 506 unrelated patients from Russia.

Using male sterile (MS) lines instead of normal inbred maternal lines in hybrid seed production can increase the yield and quality with lower production costs. Therefore, developing a new MS germplasm is essential for maize hybrid seed production in the future. Here, we reported a male sterility gene , cloned from a newly found MS mutant .

Obesity is a global epidemic associated with chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic disorders. Bariatric surgery is a highly effective intervention for sustained weight loss and the improvement of obesity-related comorbidities. However, post-surgery nutritional deficiencies, including vitamin E, remain a concern.
