Four modes of endocytosis and subsequent synaptic vesicle (SV) recycling have been described at the presynapse to ensure the availability of SVs for synaptic release. However, it is unclear to what extend these modes operate under physiological activity patterns . The coat protein clathrin can regenerate SVs either directly from the plasma membrane (PM) via clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), or indirectly from synaptic endosomes by SV budding. Here, we examined the role of clathrin in SV recycling under physiological conditions by applying the clathrin inhibitor Pitstop-2 to the calyx of Held, a synapse optimized for high frequency synaptic transmission in the auditory brainstem, The effects of clathrin-inhibition on SV recycling were investigated by serial sectioning scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 3D reconstructions of endocytic structures labeled by the endocytosis marker horseradish peroxidase (HRP). We observed large endosomal compartments as well as HRP-filled, black SVs (bSVs) that have been recently recycled. The application of Pitstop-2 led to reduced bSV but not large endosome density, increased volumes of large endosomes and shifts in the localization of both types of endocytic compartments within the synapse. These changes after perturbation of clathrin function suggest that clathrin plays a role in SV recycling from both, the PM and large endosomes, under physiological activity patterns, .

Effective treatment of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) poses challenges due to intrinsic drug resistance and limited drug penetration into tumor cells. Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising approach to enhance therapeutic efficacy; however, they often face hurdles such as inadequate cellular uptake and rapid lysosomal degradation. This study explores the potential of iontophoresis to augment the efficacy of liposome and immunoliposome-based drug delivery systems for SCC treatment.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes highly contagious swine disease, African swine fever (ASF), thereby posing a severe socioeconomic threat to the global pig industry and underscoring that effective antiviral therapies are urgently required. To identify safe and efficient anti-ASFV compounds, a natural compound library was screened by performing an established cell-based ELISA in an ASFV-infected porcine alveolar macrophage (PAM) model. In total, 6 effective anti-ASFV compounds with low cytotoxicity were identified.

Therefore, we designed a carbopol gel based on rebamipide nanocrystals (REB NCs) and gum arabic (GA-REB@NP), and investigated its efficacy in accelerating wound healing in a hamster model of oral mucositis. REB NCs were prepared by bead milling, and GA- REB@NP were prepared by incorporating REB NCs into a carbopol gel.

X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis-associated factor 1 (XAF1) is a stress-inducible tumor suppressor that is commonly inactivated in multiple types of human malignancies. Nevertheless, the molecular basis for the XAF1-mediated tumor suppression remains largely undefined. Here, we report that XAF1 is secreted from cells under various cytotoxic stress conditions and activates T cell-mediated tumor surveillance.

AP2-associated protein kinase 1 (AAK1) is a crucial regulator of clathrin-mediated endocytosis, involved in various cellular processes, including viral infection. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are essential in regulating gene transcription through the process of histone deacetylation and have become promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancer and viral infections. In this study, several AAK1/HDACs dual inhibitors based on our previous reported compounds were designed and synthesized, and the antiviral activity of these dual inhibitors were evaluated.
