AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Chemerin (CHEM) is a protein synthesized primarily by adiposse tissue and liver. CHEM acts both paracrine and autocrine, stimulating adipocytes maturation and differentiation. In addition to its hormonal function, CHEM acts as a chemoattractant for immune cells, regulating the innate and acquired inflammatory response. Its pleiotropic properties also affect the carbohydrates and lipids metabolism. High concentrations of CHEM are observed in people with obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia - components of the metabolic syndrome. Therefore CHEM also may be considered as an early predictive marker for diagnosing metabolic syndrome, also in adolescence and childhood.

Dexlansoprazole acts as a disruptor of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and ITE.
Food Chem Toxicol

Dexlansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, is commonly used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and erosive esophagitis. The activated aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) functions as a transcription factor by binding to the aryl hydrocarbon response element (AHRE) of its target genes, with cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 being the most well-known target. In this study, we demonstrated that dexlansoprazole stimulates AhR activity, leading to increased CYP1A1 expression.

Src homology-2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) plays a dual role in cancer initiation and progression. Identifying signals that modulate the function of SHP2 can improve current therapeutic approaches for IFN-α/β in HCC. We showed that cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) suppresses IFN-α/β-induced JAK/STAT signaling by increasing the phosphatase activity of SHP2, promoting the dissociation of SHP2 from the receptor for activated C-kinase 1 (RACK1) and binding to STAT1.

Rational exploration of cost-effective, durable, and high-performance electrode materials is imperative for advancing the progress of capacitive deionization (CDI). The integration of multicomponent layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with conjugated conductive metal-organic frameworks (c-MOFs) to fabricate bifunctional heterostructure electrode materials is considered a promising strategy. Herein, the fabrication of hierarchical conductive MOF/LDH/CF nanoarchitectures (M-CAT/LDH/CF) as CDI anodes via a controllable grafted-growth strategy is reported.

Lipid A, a well-known saccharolipid, acts as the inner lipid-glycan anchor of lipopolysaccharides in Gram-negative bacterial cell membranes and functions as an endotoxin. Its structure is composed of two glucosamines with β(1 → 6) linkages and various fatty acyl and phosphate groups. The lipid A structure can be used for the identification of bacterial species, but its complexity poses significant structural characterization challenges.
