SLC1A4 Promotes Malignant Transformation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Activating the AKT Signaling by Jiaoyun Zheng, Jian Gong

“…Mechanically, silencing SLC1A4 inhibited the phosphorylation activation of AKT by suppressing the ubiquitin modification of AKT at lysine 63 and amino acid influx represented by D-serine, decreasing the protein level of β-catenin in the cell nucleus and suppressing the transcriptional activity of c-Myc and EpCAM promoters. …”

Exploiting gasdermin-mediated pyroptosis for enhanced antimicrobial activity of phage endolysin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa by Dorota Kuc-Ciepluch, Karol Ciepluch, Daria Augustyniak, Grzegorz Guła, Barbara Maciejewska, Artur Kowalik, Ewelina Jop, Zuzanna Drulis-Kawa, Michał Arabski

“…However, the pyroptosis stimulation by LPS in the antibacterial assay was not effective enough for bacterial OM permeabilization and enhancement of endolysin activity. We assume that leveraging pyroptosis induction in monocytic cells to augment the bactericidal activity of endolysins may be limited.IMPORTANCERecombinant GSDMDNterm protein was able to efficiently permeabilize P. aeruginosa outer membranes and increase endolysin activity against bacteria, producing either long LPS O-chains or lack them entirely. …”
