Metabolic Dysfunction in the Regulation of the NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation: A Potential Target for Diabetic Nephropathy by Wenli Zhao, Le Zhou, Petr Novák, Xian Shi, Chuang Biao Lin, Xiao Zhu, Kai Yin

“…Metabolic dysfunction plays a key role in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, the exact effects and mechanisms are still unclear. The pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, a member of the nod-like receptor family, is considered a crucial inflammatory regulator and plays important roles in the progress of DN. …”

Circulating proliferative factors versus portal inflow redistribution: mechanistic insights of ALPPS-derived rapid liver regeneration by Shiran Zhang, Yu Ma, Xue Chen, Shuai Wu, Geng Chen

“…BackgroundAssociating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) can induce accelerated regeneration of future liver remnant (FLR) and effectively reduce the occurrence of liver failure due to insufficient FLR after hepatectomy, thereby increasing the probability of radical resection for previously inoperable patients with liver cancer. However, the exact mechanism by which ALPPS accelerates liver regeneration remains elusive.MethodsA review of the literature was performed utilizing MEDLINE/PubMed and Web of Science databases in March of 2024. …”

Toxin-antitoxin genes are differentially expressed in Escherichia coli relA and spoT mutans cultured under nitrogen, fatty acid, or carbon starvation conditions by Monika Maciąg-Dorszyńska, Paweł Olszewski, Monika Karczewska, Lidia Boss

“…The accumulation of stringent response effectors, (p)ppGpp, causes differential expression of approximately 500 genes, including genes of bacterial endogenous toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems. However, the exact link between (p)ppGpp and toxin-antitoxin systems’ activation, as well as toxin-antitoxin role in stress adaptation remains disputed.MethodsIn this study, we performed a complex analysis of changes (RNA-Seq) in the toxin-antitoxin operons’ transcription in response to nitrogen, fatty acid, or carbon starvation, in bacteria with different abilities of (p)ppGpp accumulation.Results and discussionAlthough we observed that in some cases (p)ppGpp accumulation appears to be crucial for transcriptional activation of TA genes (e.g., ghoST, ryeA), our data indicates that the general pattern of chromosomally encoded TA gene expression in E. coli differs depending on the nutrient distribution in the environment, regardless of the alarmone accumulation.…”
