NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are widely used for the treatment of a variety of inflammatory diseases, but many of them were withdrawn from the market due to their cardiovascular toxicity. In this study, we tried to identify proteins responding to the cellular toxicity in NSAIDs-treated primarily cultured cardiomyocytes using 2-D proteomic analysis. We used seven different NSAIDs (celecoxib, rofecoxib, valdecoxib, diclofenac, naproxen, ibuprofen, and meloxicam) possessing each different degree of cardiovascular risk. Overall protein spots were similar in all NSAIDs-treated cells although numbers of decreased proteins were about 2-fold higher in celecoxib or rofecoxib-treated cells than in cells incubated with other NSAIDs. Many stress-related proteins, cardiac muscle movement proteins and proteins involved in membrane organization have been isolated. Among them, Septin-8, a filament scaffolding protein, showed its specific expression pattern depending on the extent of drug toxicity. Its expression level was low in cells treated by relatively high toxic drugs such as celecoxib, diclofenac, valdecoxib, and rofecoxib. On the contrary, Septin-8 was similarly expressed in control cells in the presence of less toxic drugs such ibuprofen, naproxen, and meloxicam. This data suggests that Septin-8 differentially responds to each NSAID.

The daily light-dark cycle is a recurrent and predictable environmental phenomenon to which many organisms, including cyanobacteria, have evolved to adapt. Understanding how cyanobacteria alter their metabolic attributes in response to subjective light or dark growth may provide key features for developing strains with improved photosynthetic efficiency and applications in enhanced carbon sequestration and renewable energy. Here, we undertook a label-free proteomic approach to investigate the effect of extended light (LL) or extended dark (DD) conditions on the unicellular cyanobacterium ATCC 51142.

Background: Cell therapy demonstrates promising potential as a substitute therapeutic approach for liver cirrhosis. We have developed a strategy to effectively expand murine and human hepatocyte-derived liver progenitor-like cells (HepLPCs) in vitro. The primary objective of the present study was to apply HepLPCs to the treatment of liver cirrhosis and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms responsible for their therapeutic efficacy.

Rare inherited diseases caused by mutations in the copper transporters (CTR1) or induce copper deficiency in the brain, causing seizures and neurodegeneration in infancy through poorly understood mechanisms. Here, we used multiple model systems to characterize the molecular mechanisms by which neuronal cells respond to copper deficiency. Targeted deletion of CTR1 in neuroblastoma cells produced copper deficiency that produced a metabolic shift favoring glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation.

Wound healing is a dynamic process involving multiple cell types and signaling pathways. Dermal sheath cells (DSCs), residing surrounding hair follicles, play a critical role in tissue repair, yet their regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. This study used single-cell proteomics with the mouse model to explore DSC function across different healing stages.
