Multi-tissue network analysis reveals the effect of JNK inhibition on dietary sucrose-induced metabolic dysfunction in rats by Hong Yang, Cheng Zhang, Woonghee Kim, Mengnan Shi, Metin Kiliclioglu, Cemil Bayram, Ismail Bolar, Özlem Özdemir Tozlu, Cem Baba, Nursena Yuksel, Serkan Yildirim, Shazia Iqbal, Jihad Sebhaoui, Ahmet Hacımuftuoglu, Matthias Uhlen, Jan Boren, Hasan Turkez, Adil Mardinoglu

“…Excessive consumption of sucrose, in the form of sugar-sweetened beverages, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and other related metabolic syndromes. The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway plays a crucial role in response to dietary stressors, and it was demonstrated that the inhibition of the JNK pathway could potentially be used in the treatment of MAFLD. …”

Lipopolysaccharide Inhibits the Channel Activity of the P2X7 Receptor by Elias Leiva-Salcedo, Claudio Coddou, Felipe E. Rodríguez, Antonello Penna, Ximena Lopez, Tanya Neira, Ricardo Fernández, Mónica Imarai, Miguel Rios, Jorge Escobar, Margarita Montoya, J. Pablo Huidobro-Toro, Alejandro Escobar, Claudio Acuña-Castillo

“…The bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is one of the strongest stimuli of the immune response, and it has been shown that P2X7R activation can modulate LPS-induced responses. Moreover, a C-terminal binding site for LPS has been proposed. In order to evaluate if LPS can directly modulate the activity of the P2X7R, we tested several signaling pathways associated with P2X7R activation in HEK293 cells that do not express the TLR-4 receptor. …”

Estudio genético en adultos con glomeruloesclerosis focal y segmentaria by Melissa Pilco-Terán, Amir Shabaka, Mónica Furlano, Ana Tato Ribera, Isabel Galán Carrillo, Eduardo Gutiérrez, Roser Torra, Gema Fernández-Juárez

“…Resumen: La glomeruloesclerosis focal y segmentaria (GEFS) es un patrón histológico de lesión que deriva de diversos procesos patológicos que afectan a los podocitos, resultando en pérdida de selectividad del filtrado glomerular, proteinuria y desarrollando insuficiencia renal que progresa a enfermedad renal crónica terminal en un importante número de pacientes. La clasificación propuesta por las guías KDIGO, en 2021, divide la GEFS en cuatro categorías: primaria, secundaria, genética y de causa no determinada, facilitando así su diagnóstico y manejo. …”
