Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and most malignant primary brain tumour. Protein tyrosine phosphatase interacting protein 51 (PTPIP51) is an interaction partner of 14-3-3β, which correlates with the grade of malignancy in gliomas. In this study PTPIP51 and its interacting partners 14-3-3β, PTP1B, c-Src, Raf-1 as well as EGFR were investigated in human glioblastoma. Twenty glioblastoma samples were analyzed on transcriptional and translational level by immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization and RT-PCR. To compare PTPIP51 expression in gliomas of different malignancies, quantitative RT-PCR for grade II astrocytoma and GBM samples was employed. Additionally, we analyzed the correlation between PTPIP51 and 14-3-3β transcription, and checked for in situ interaction between PTPIP51 and 14-3-3β and PTP1B, respectively. PTPIP51 and 14-3-3β mRNA showed a tumour grade dependent upregulation in gliomas. Glioblastoma cells displayed a strong immunoreaction of PTPIP51, which co-localized with 14-3-3β and PTP1B. The duolink proximity ligation assay corroborated a direct in situ interaction of PTPIP51 with both proteins, known to interact with PTPIP51 in vitro. The in vitro interacting partners Raf-1 and c-Src showed a partial co-localization. Besides, immune cells located in capillaries or infiltrating the tumour tissue and endothelial cells of pseudoglomerular vessels revealed a high PTPIP51 expression. The upregulation of PTPIP51 and its connection with the EGFR/MAPK pathway by 14-3-3β via Raf-1 and by PTP1B via c-Src, argue for a functional role of PTPIP51 in the pathogenesis of human glioblastoma.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, generally due to defects of insulin action or secretion. Inhibition of α-glucosidase, an enzyme responsible for carbohydrate degradation, is a promising strategy for managing postprandial hyperglycemia in diabetic patients. In this study, two new C-linked diarylheptanoid dimers, kaemgalanganols A (1) and B (2), were isolated from K.

Red blood cells (RBCs) are the main cells of the blood, perform numerous functions within the body and are in continuous contact with endogenous and exogenous molecules. In this context, the study aims to investigate the effect of epicatechin (EC) (flavan-3-ols) on the erythrocytes, analyzing the protective effect of the molecule and the action exerted on metabolism and RBC membrane. The effect of EC on RBC viability has been evaluated through the change in hemolysis and methemoglobin, assessing caspase 3 activity and performing a cytofluorometric analysis.

Nanozymes open up new avenues for amplifying signals in photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing, which are yet limited by the generated small-molecule signal reporters. Herein, a multifunctional nanoenzyme of Pt NPs/CoSAs@NC consisting of Co single atoms on N-doped porous carbon decorated with Pt nanoparticles is successfully synthesized for cascade catalytic polymerization of dopamine for constructing a highly sensitive photocurrent-polarity-switching PEC biosensing platform. Taking protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) as a target model, Pt NPs/CoSAs@NC nanoenzymes are linked to magnetic microspheres via phosphorylated peptides.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a metabolic disorder, has the hallmarks of persistent hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) was found to be overexpressed in many tissues in the case of T2DM and involved in the negative regulation of insulin signaling. So, PTP1B inhibition can act as a therapeutic target for T2DM.
