Selective Vulnerability of the Cochlear Basal Turn to Acrylonitrile and Noise by B. Pouyatos, C. A. Gearhart, A. Nelson-Miller, S. Fulton, L. D. Fechter

“…Acrylonitrile depletes glutathione levels while noise can increase the formation of reactive oxygen species. It was previously noted that the high-frequency or basal turn of the cochlea was particularly vulnerable to the combined effects of acrylonitrile and noise when the octave band noise (OBN) was centered at 8 kHz. …”

The effect of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) muteins on human neutrophils in vitro by H. Tchorzewski, K. Zeman, J. Kantorski, E. Paleolog, M. Kahan, M. Feldmann, M. Kwinkowski, P. Guga, B. Szymanska, P. Parniewski, A. Wilk, J. Jarosz

“…Biological responses to TNF-α are initiated by its binding to specific cell surface receptors, and various studies have shown that the major TNF receptor species on PMN is the 75 kDa receptor. To verify the suggestion that the receptor binding domain includes the region close to the N-terminus of the TNF-α molecule, four TNF-α derivatives termed muteins were constructed, using a synthetic cDNA fragment substituting the N-terminal 3–7 selected hydrophilic or hydrophobic amino acids in the original TNF-α genomic DNA. …”

Metabolic consequences of erastin-induced ferroptosis in human ovarian cancer cells: an untargeted metabolomics study by Kaylie I. Kirkwood-Donelson, Alan K. Jarmusch, Carl D. Bortner, Bruce Alex Merrick, Birandra K. Sinha

“…Erastin (ER), a ferroptosis inducer, kills tumor cells by generating and accumulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cell, resulting in an iron-dependent oxidative damage-mediated ferroptotic cell death.MethodsWe have utilized human ovarian cancer cell lines, OVCAR-8 and its adriamycin-selected, multi-drug resistance protein (MDR1)-expressing NCI/ADR-RES, both equally sensitive to ER, to identify metabolic biomarkers of ferroptosis.ResultsOur studies showed that ER treatment rapidly depleted cellular glutathione and cysteine and enhanced formation of ophthalamate (OPH) in both cells. …”
