Background/objectives: Zinc supplementation induces metallothionein, leading to reduced serum copper levels. Conversely, serum copper concentrations tend to rise with the use of HIF-PH inhibitors.
Methods: To establish a safe level of zinc supplementation that avoids copper deficiency, serum copper and zinc concentrations measured every three months were retrospectively analyzed over five years in 50 patients undergoing hemodialysis.

The small Cys-rich protein metallothionein (MT) binds several metal ions in clusters within two domains. While the affinity of MT for both toxic and essential metals has been well studied, the thermodynamics of this binding has not. We have used isothermal titration calorimetry measurements to quantify the change in enthalpy (ΔH) and change in entropy (ΔS) when metal ions bind to the two ubiquitous isoforms of MT.

This study explored the short-term effects of vitamin K2 (VK2) supplementation on biochemical parameters (vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin A, alkaline phosphatase, calcium, phosphorus (P), magnesium, metallothionein, triglycerides, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and lipoprotein fractions (albumin, HDL, very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), LDL, and chylomicrons). A short-term experiment (24 h, six probands) was performed to track changes in VK2 levels after a single-dose intake (360 µg/day). Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to monitor vitamin K levels (menaquinone-4 (MK-4), menaquinone-7 (MK-7), and vitamin K1 [VK1]) with a limit of detection of 1.

Regulated cell death (RCD) plays a crucial role in the initiation and progression of tumors, particularly in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study investigates the prognostic importance of RCD-related genes in AML and their correlation with immune infiltration. We combined TCGA and GTEx data, analyzing 1,488 RCD-related genes, to develop a predictive model using LASSO regression and survival analysis.

Background: Lipid droplet formation is a prominent histological feature in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), but the significance and mechanisms underlying lipid droplet accumulation remain unclear.
Methods: Expression and clinical significance of MT1G in ccRCC were analyzed by using TCGA data, GEO data and scRNASeq data. MT1G overexpression or knockdown ccRCC cell lines were constructed and in situ ccRCC model, lung metastasis assay, metabolomics and lipid droplets staining were performed to explore the role of MT1G on lipid droplet accumulation in ccRCC.
