Melanin-like nanoparticles slow cyst growth in ADPKD by dual inhibition of oxidative stress and CREB by Yongzhan Sun, Quan Zou, Huizheng Yu, Xiaoping Yi, Xudan Dou, Yu Yang, Zhiheng Liu, Hong Yang, Junya Jia, Yupeng Chen, Shao-Kai Sun, Lirong Zhang

“…Mechanistically, we observed that MMPP directly binds to the bZIP DNA-binding domain of CREB, leading to competitive inhibition of CREB’s DNA binding ability and subsequent reduction in CREB target gene expression. In summary, our findings identify an intracellular target of MMPP and demonstrate its potential for treating ADPKD by simultaneously targeting oxidative stress and CREB transcriptional activity.…”
