In contact hypersensitivity (CHS), multiple cells, inflammatory mediators and cytokines are known to be involved in the regulation of the immune response. Previously, we revealed the reactive oxygen species generation by 2, 4, 6-trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS) in vivo, followed by heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) carbonylation and the exogenous antioxidant role of cell-permeable Hsp70. Here, we demonstrate the role of Hsp70 using cell-permeable Hsp70 in the mouse CHS model. Pretreatment of cell-permeable Hsp70: (i) suppressed ear swelling; (ii) down-regulated phosphorylated p38, but up-regulated phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase; (iii) increased population of CD4(+) CD25(+) Foxp3(+) T cells; (iv) decreased secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-12, interferon-γ and IL-2 and (v) but up-regulated IL-4 and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) in the lymph nodes. In conclusion, cell-permeable Hsp70 attenuates CHS through modulation of MAPK pathway and regulation of Th1, Th2 and regulatory T cells.

Frequent (>70%) TP53 mutations often promote its protein stabilization, driving esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) development linked to poor survival and therapy resistance. We previously reported that during Barrett's esophagus progression to EAC, an isoform switch occurs in the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF128 (aka GRAIL-gene related to anergy in lymphocytes), enriching isoform 1 (hereby GRAIL1) and stabilizing the mutant p53 protein. Consequently, GRAIL1 knockdown degrades mutant p53.

Intracellular proteome aggregation is a ubiquitous disease hallmark with its composition associated with pathogenicity. Herein, this work reports on a cell-permeable photosensitizer (P8, Rose Bengal derivative) for selective photo induced proximity labeling and crosslinking of cellular aggregated proteome. Rose Bengal is identified out of common photosensitizer scaffolds for its unique intrinsic binding affinity to various protein aggregates driven by the hydrophobic effect.

Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) regulate diverse biological processes and are increasingly being recognized for their potential as drug targets. Here we report the discovery of a potent, selective, and cell-active chemical probe for PRMT7. SGC3027 is a cell permeable prodrug, which in cells is converted to SGC8158, a potent, SAM-competitive PRMT7 inhibitor.

The inhibitory effects of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on angiotensin II (AngII)-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) dysfunction remain to be elucidated. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been detected in endothelial dysfunction (ED). The present study aimed to determine whether H2S may exert an inhibitory effect on AngII‑induced ER stress.
