Background: Autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) efficiency declines Alzheimer's disease (AD). In AD mouse models expressing a fluorescent autophagy and pH probe, autolysosomes pH elevation, resulting from deficient v-ATPase activity, causes autophagy substrates, including Aβ and APP-βCTF, to build up selectively within autolysosomes before extracellular amyloid deposits. In the most compromised but still intact neurons, massive numbers of Aβ-positive autolysosomes pack into huge petal-like blebs bulging out from the perikaryal membrane (PANTHOS).

Various N-terminal tags have often been used to identify the functions and localization of Rab small GTPases, but their impact on Rab proteins themselves has been poorly investigated. Here, we used a knockout (KO)-rescue approach to systematically evaluate the effect of N-terminal tagging of two Rabs, Rab10 and Rab27A, on Rab10-KO HeLa cells and Rab27A-deficient melanocytes (melan-ash cells), respectively. The results showed that all of the N-terminal-tagged Rab27A proteins mediated actin-based melanosome transport in the melan-ash cells, but none of the N-terminal-tagged Rab10 proteins fully rescued the defect in tubular endosome formation in the Rab10-KO cells.

Cisplatin is widely used for the treatment of solid tumors and its antitumor effects are well established. However, a known complication of cisplatin administration is acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study, we examined the role of TEA domain family member 1 (TEAD1) in the pathogenesis of cisplatin-induced AKI.

It is crucial to develop new tactics to prevent ovarian tissue damage in women whose reproductive toxicity is caused by chemotherapy. The present investigation was performed to assess the protective effects of Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) leaf extract on cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced ovarian damage and reproductive dysfunction.

: Despite the prevalence of impaired renal function in acute heart failure (AHF) patients, the intricate relationship between glomerular, tubular, and metabolic renal function remains unexplored. We aimed to investigate the co-occurrence of glomerular, tubular, and metabolic renal dysfunction in AHF and their impact on prognosis. : eGFR, spot urine sodium, and HCO were measured in 243 patients hospitalized for AHF.
