Protein kinase Cα (PKCα), belonging to ser/thr protein kinase, perform various biological functions. Overexpression of PKCα has been observed in multiple human malignancies including lymphoma. However, the molecular pathogenesis and involvement of PKCα in Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are not clearly understood. Hence, deciphering the role of PKCα in NHL management may provide a better therapeutic option. In the present study, we used selective pharmacological inhibitors Gö6976 and Ro320432 that potentially inhibit PKCα-mediated signaling in DL cells, resulting in the inhibition of cell growth and mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis. PKCα inhibition by these inhibitors also displays cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and causes growth retardation of DL cells. Our results extended the mechanism of PKCα in NHL, and provided potential implications for its therapy.

Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) may develop depression, which can affect their rehabilitation. However, the underlying mechanism of depression in SCI patients remains unclear. Previous studies have revealed increased p38 MAPK phosphorylation in the rat hippocampus after SCI, accompanied by depression-like behaviors.

It has been well accumulated that G-quadruplex (G4-DNA) has great anticancer relevance, and various heterocyclic moieties have been synthesized and examined as potent G4-DNA binders with promising anticancer activity. Here, we have synthesized a series of naphthalimide-triazole-coumarin conjugates by substituting various amines and further examine their anticancer activity against 60 human cancer cell lines at 10 μM. One and five dose concentration results reveal low values of MG-MID GI for compounds including (3.

Lung cancer represents a significant global health burden, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the most common subtype. The current standard of care for NSCLC has limited efficacy, highlighting the necessity for innovative treatment options. Lidocaine, traditionally recognized as a local anesthetic, has emerged as a compound with potential antitumor and anti-inflammatory capabilities.

Ventricular arrhythmias induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury limits the therapeutic effect of early reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction. This study investigated the protective effects of the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) agonist clenbuterol against ischemia/reperfusion-induced arrhythmias and the underlying mechanism. Anesthetized rats were subjected to 10-min left coronary artery occlusion and 10-min reperfusion in vivo.

Triglyceride (TG) metabolism is a complex and highly coordinated biological process regulated by a series of genes, and its dysregulation can lead to the occurrence of disorders in lipid metabolism. However, the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of crucial genes in TG metabolism mediated by enhancer-promoter interactions remain elusive. Here, we identified candidate enhancers regulating the Agpat2, Dgat1, Dgat2, Pnpla2, and Lipe genes in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by integrating epigenomic data (H3K27ac, H3K4me1, and DHS-seq) with chromatin three-dimensional interaction data.
