CPT1 deficiency blocks autophagic flux to promote lipid accumulation induced by co-exposure to polystyrene microplastic and cadmium by Zhixuan Chen, Huayi Qu, Jian Sun, Tao Wang, Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan, Jianhong Gu, Jianhong Gu, Jianhong Gu, Jianchun Bian, Jianchun Bian, Jianchun Bian, Zongping Liu, Zongping Liu, Zongping Liu, Hui Zou, Hui Zou, Hui Zou

“…To further investigate the involvement of carnitine palmitoyltransferase1(CPT1) in liver injury induced by co-exposure to Cd and PS-MPs, we co-exposed Baicalin, an activator of CPT1, with PS-MPs and Cd, and showed that activation of CPT1 alleviated the impairment of autophagic fluxes induced by co-exposure of Cd and PS-MPs and further alleviated the changes in lipid accumulation and associated protein levels.DiscussionIn conclusion, the concurrent exposure of PS-MPs and Cd resulted in the blockage of hepatic lipid accumulation and autophagic pathway and further aggravated the toxic damage to the liver. …”

Integrated SegFlow, µSIA, and UPLC for Online Sialic Acid Quantitation of Glycoproteins Directly from Bioreactors by Letha Chemmalil, Tanmay Kulkarni, Mathura Raman, Priya Singh, Yueming Qian, Chris Chumsae, Kyle McHugh, Zhuangrong Huang, Eric Hodgman, Michael C. Borys, Julia Ding, Gloria Li, Anthony Leone

“…ABSTRACT This study emphasizes the critical importance of closely monitoring and controlling the sialic acid content in therapeutic glycoproteins, including EPO, interferon‐γ, Orencia, Enbrel, and others, as the level of sialylation directly impacts their pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, potency, and overall clinical performance due to its influence on protein clearance via hepatic asialoglycoprotein receptors (ASGPR). The ASGPR recognizes and binds to glycoproteins exposed to terminal galactose or N‐acetylgalactosamine residues, leading to receptor‐mediated endocytosis. …”
