The cell autonomous and non-autonomous roles of itaconate in immune response by Chao Chen, Xinjian Li

“…In addition to regulating immune response of myeloid cells, itaconate secreted from myeloid cells can also be taken up by non-myeloid cells to exert immunoregulatory effects in a cell non-autonomous manner. In this review, we recap the discovery of itaconate as a distinct immunologic regulator and effector, describe the development of itaconate biosensor, and detail the recent findings that decipher the mechanism underlying intercellular transport of itaconate. …”

Transketolase attenuates the chemotherapy sensitivity of glioma cells by modulating R-loop formation by Minjie Fu, Mengli Zhang, Licheng Zhang, Yuan Feng, Chao Gao, Hao Xu, Jinsen Zhang, Huaichao Zhang, Tianping Peng, Youjun Chu, Yonghe Wu, Pu Wang, Dan Ye, Ying Mao, Wei Hua

“…Here, we show that transketolase (TKT), a metabolic enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), attenuates the chemotherapy sensitivity of glioma cells in a manner independent of catalytic activity. Mechanistically, chemotherapeutic drugs can facilitate the translocation of TKT protein from the cytosol into the nucleus, where TKT physically interacts with XRN2 to regulate the resolution and removal of R-loops. …”

Investigation of the effect of impact load on concrete-filled steel tube columns under fire by Ali Golsoorat Pahlaviani, Ali Mohammad Rousta, Peyman Beiranvand

“…As compared to reinforced concrete columns, existence of the exterior steel tube not only bears a portion of axial load but also most importantly provides confinement to the infill concrete.with the confinement provided by the steel tube, axial strength of the infill concrete can be largely enhanced.this paper presents the investigation effect of impact load on concrete-filled steel tube columns under fire by numerical simulations using ABAQUS software.the results indicate that the CFST sections with larger confinement factor ξ=1.23 behaved in a very ductile manner under lateral impact. And the sections with smaller confinement factor ξ=0.44  generally behaved in a brittle mechanism.…”
