Targeting protein kinase C-α prolongs survival and restores liver function in sepsis: Evidence from preclinical models by Ling Xiong, Dustin Beyer, Na Liu, Tina Lehmann, Sophie Neugebauer, Sascha Schaeuble, Oliver Sommerfeld, Philipp Ernst, Carl-Magnus Svensson, Sandor Nietzsche, Sebastian Scholl, Tony Bruns, Nikolaus Gaßler, Markus H. Gräler, Marc Thilo Figge, Gianni Panagiotou, Michael Bauer, Adrian T. Press

“…Conclusively, our research underscores the significance of PKCα in controlling excretory liver function during inflammation. This suggests that targeting this protein could restore liver function without compromising the immune system, thereby decreasing sepsis mortality and supporting the recent paradigm that the liver is a hub for the host response to infection that might, in the future, result in novel host-directed therapies supporting the current state-of-the-art intensive care medicine in patients with sepsis-associated liver failure.…”

“…IntroductionX-linked immunodeficiency with magnesium defect, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and neoplasia (XMEN) disease is caused by hemizygous loss of function (LOF) gene variants in MAGT1. MAGT1 is a plasma membrane transporter of magnesium (Mg2+) that plays a relevant role in immune responses and acts as a second messenger in intracellular signaling, but also it is involved in the glycosylation of proteins. …”
