A novel fluorescent bile acid derivative, 4-N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole- conjugated bile acid was synthesized as a probe to develop a rapid screening method for function analysis of bile salt export pump (BSEP, ABCB 11). The transport properties of the synthetic fluorescent bile acid derivative in membrane vesicles obtained from hBSEP-expressing Sf9 cells were examined using the liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry method. The Michaelis-Menten constant and maximum uptake rate for the synthetic fluorescent bile acid derivative by hBSEP were 23.1+/-1.6 microM and 623.2+/-22.4 pmol/min/mg protein, respectively. These kinetic parameters of the synthetic fluorescent bile acid derivative were comparable with those of an unlabeled bile acid, taurocholic acid. Moreover, we examined inhibitory effects of various drugs on hBSEP-mediated uptake of the fluorescent bile acid derivative using a fluorescence detection method. The relative uptake activities (percent of control) for the fluorescent bile acid derivative in the presence of an inhibitor were in accordance with previous findings using (3)H-labeled taurocholic acid. Our results suggest that the synthetic fluorescent bile acid derivative may be useful for evaluation of the inhibitory effects of various drugs on hBSEP-mediated uptake.

Insulin bound with ligand molecules can improve its bioavailability in oral formulations. In this work, the interactions between insulin and bile acids of taurocholic acid (TCA) and glycocholic acid (GCA) are characterized using different mass spectrometry (MS) methods. Electrospray (ESI)-MS analysis revealed that GCA and TCA could interact with insulin individually or together through non-covalent bonds, and the products included mGCA-insulin, nTCA-insulin, and mGCA-nTCA-insulin complexes.

Through biochemical transformation of host-derived bile acids (BAs), gut bacteria mediate host-microbe crosstalk and sit at the interface of nutrition, the microbiome, and disease. BAs play a crucial role in human health by facilitating the absorption of dietary lipophilic nutrients, interacting with hormone receptors to regulate host physiology, and shaping gut microbiota composition through antimicrobial activity. Bile acid deconjugation by bacterial bile salt hydrolase (BSH) has long been recognized as the first necessary BA modification required before further transformations can occur.

Background: Studies using machine learning to identify the target characteristics and develop predictive models for coronary artery disease severity in patients with premature myocardial infarction (PMI) are limited.

Methods: In this observational study, 1111 PMI patients (≤55 years) at Tianjin Chest Hospital from 2017 to 2022 were selected and divided according to their SYNTAX scores into a low-risk group (≤22) and medium-high-risk group (>22). These groups were further randomly assigned to a training or test set in a ratio of 7:3.
