The Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) superfamily comprises a group of enzymes involved in the scavenging of toxic aldehyde molecules by converting them into their corresponding non-toxic carboxylic acids. A genome-wide study in potato identified a total of 22 ALDH genes grouped into ten families that are presented unevenly throughout all the 12 chromosomes. Based on the evolutionary analysis of ALDH proteins from different plant species, ALDH2 and ALDH3 were found to be the most abundant families in the plant, while ALDH18 was found to be the most distantly related one. Gene expression analysis revealed that the expression of StALDH genes is highly tissue-specific and divergent in various abiotic, biotic, and hormonal treatments. Structural modelling and functional analysis of selected StALDH members revealed conservancy in their secondary structures and cofactor binding sites. Taken together, our findings provide comprehensive information on the ALDH gene family in potato that will help in developing a framework for further functional studies.

Background: Despite the insights into the role of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 (ALDH1A1) in various liver diseases, the expression and its prognostic significance in patients with hepatitis E virus-related acute liver failure (HEV-ALF) remain unclear. This study delved into the assessment of serum exosome-derived ALDH1A1 expression and its prognostic implications for HEV-ALF patients.
Methods: Between January 2018 and December 2023, a total of 226 individuals with acute hepatitis E (AHE) and 210 patients with HEV-ALF were recruited from member units of Chinese Consortium for the Study of Hepatitis E.

Hydroxytyrosol, a fine chemical, is widely utilized in food and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, we constructed a pathway to produce hydroxytyrosol by co-expressing tyrosin-phenol lyase (TPL), L-amino acid dehydrogenase (aadL), α-keto acid decarboxylase (KAD), aldehyde reductase (yahK) and glucose dehydrogenase (gdh). We changed combinations between plasmids with different copy numbers and target genes, resulting in 84% increase in hydroxytyrosol production.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a prevalent clinical syndrome, yet its underlying pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), an enzyme responsible for detoxifying lipid aldehydes, has been suggested to play a protective role against IRI. In our study, we observed that Aldh2 knock-out C57BL/6 mice experienced more severe renal functional impairment following IRI.

Gossypol removal is crucial for the resourceful utilization of cottonseed meals in the food and feed industries. Herein, we investigated the comprehensive detoxification mechanism of a gossypol-tolerant strain of (WK331) newly isolated from the rumen. Biodegradation assays showed that WK331 removes over 80% of free gossypol, of which 50% was biodegraded and 30% was converted into bound gossypol.

Background/aim: Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are a subpopulation of tumor cells that play a role in therapeutic resistance. In this study, we demonstrated that sertaconazole, an antifungal agent, displayed a potent inhibition on cancer stem cells (CSCs) and investigated the mechanism of action involved in its anti-BCSC effect.
Materials And Methods: The effect of sertaconazole on BCSCs was investigated using a mammosphere formation assay, a colony formation assay, and a cell migration assay.
