Long-term blood glucose control via glucose-activated transcriptional regulation of insulin analogue in type 1 diabetes mice.
Diabetes Obes Metab
January 2025
National Engineering Research Center for Biomaterials, College of Biomedical Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, People's Republic of China.
Aim: To achieve glucose-activated transcriptional regulation of insulin analogue in skeletal muscle of T1D mice, thereby controlling blood glucose levels and preventing or mitigating diabetes-related complications.
Materials And Methods: We developed the GANIT (Glucose-Activated NFAT-regulated INSA-F Transcription) system, an innovative platform building upon the previously established intramuscular plasmid DNA (pDNA) delivery and expression system. In the GANIT system, skeletal muscle cells are genetically engineered to endogenously produce the insulin analogue INSA-F (Insulin Aspart with Furin cleavage sites).

Betel quid contains two major ingredients; Areca catechu and Piper betel, often consumed with slaked lime, tobacco, certain flavouring agents, colouring agents, herbs, and spices according to personal preferences. The areca nut alkaloids (arecoline, arecaidine, guvacine, and guvacoline), and tobacco alkaloids (nicotine, nor-nicotine) undergo nitrosation during chewing in the oral cavity with the presence of nitrite and thiocyanate and endogenously. Among the nitrosation products generated areca nut-derived nitrosamine (ADNA): 3-(methylnitrosamino) Propionitrile (MNPN) and the two tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs); N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone) (NNK) are considered Group 1 human carcinogens.

Key Laboratory for Space Bioscience and Biotechnology, School of Life Sciences, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, 710072, Shaanxi, People's Republic of China.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammation with a high incidence rate. Many probiotics, including (), have shown promise in IBD treatment. The therapeutic effects of most probiotics are greatly decided by the available live cells in the disease lesion, which is compromised as they pass through the gastric juice and intestinal tract, resulting in a loss of activity.

CRSLS
January 2025
Department of Surgery, King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Background: Obesity is an alarmingly increasing global public health issue. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common bariatric surgery owing to its simplicity, effectiveness, and low complication rates. The complications can be classified as early or late, with fistula formation being one of the most severe complications.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), metabolized by cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes, are widely used to inhibit gastric acid secretion. This study investigated CYP116B46, a self-sufficient monooxygenase with a reductase domain, to elucidate its interaction with ilaprazole, a PPI. Binding assays and docking simulations indicate that CYP116B46 serves as a suitable model for studying PPI metabolism.
