Breakthrough of the fucoidan endo-4O-sulfatase: Regioselective 4O-desulfation of fucoidans and its relation to anticancer activity throughout vitro.
We thank Dr. Bitoun and colleagues for their interest and comments regarding our meta-analysis on hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) levels. Bitoun et al. raised an important question about the threshold of HCQ blood levels for clinical efficacy compared to the thresholds that predict the risk of retinal toxicity in lupus.Inhibition of membrane-bound pyrophosphatase (mPPase) with small molecules offer a new approach in the fight against pathogenic protozoan parasites. mPPases are absent in humans, but they are essential for many protists as they couple pyrophosphate hydrolysis to the active transport of protons or sodium ions across acidocalcisomal membranes. So far, only few nonphosphorus inhibitors have been reported. Here, we explore the chemical space around previous hits using a combination of screening and synthetic medicinal chemistry, identifying compounds with low µM inhibitory activities in the Thermotoga maritima mPPase test system. We furthermore provide early structure-activity relationships around a new scaffold, the pyrazolo[1,5- a ]pyrimidine core. The most promising pyrazolo[1,5- a ]pyrimidine congener was further investigated and able to inhibit Plasmodium falciparum mPPase in membranes as well as the growth of P. falciparum in an ex vivo survival assay.
In patients with end stage, renal disease a high rate of morbidity and mortality is present. Studies suggest that end stage renal disease may affect oral health. Therefore, the aim of this study was to perform a scoping review on periodontal disease, dental caries, xerostomia, and hyposalivation in end stage renal disease patients.

A literature search (in PubMed and Embase.com) was performed up to September 29, 2020, in collaboration with a medical information specialist. Included outcome variables were the community periodontal index, probing pocket depth, gingival index, bleeding on probing, decayed-missing-filled-teeth, carious-absent-obturated index, Xerostomia Inventory and the (un)stimulated whole salivary flow rate.

Forty three out of 1293 studies were included in the final review comprising 7757 end stage renal disease patients. The average age was 58.3 ± 29.4 years. 28.2%-78.8% of patients reported xerostomia and the (un)stimulated salivary flow rates were significantly lower. Higher community periodontal index scores were measured in end stage renal disease patients. More decayed-missing-filled-teeth were recorded, but no differences were found between groups.

Xerostomia and hyposalivation were highly prevalent in end stage renal disease patients. Patients have more deepened pockets, but an equal number of carious teeth compared to healthy controls.

Currently however, the number of known efficient catalysts for such a reaction is limited. The present work demonstrates that copper-based electrodes exhibit high electrocatalytic activity and selectivity for the NH3 oxidation to NO2- and NO3- in alkaline solutions. Systematic investigation of the effects of pH and potential on the kinetics of the reaction using voltammetric analysis and in situ Raman spectroscopy suggests that ammonia electrooxidation on copper occurs via two primary catalytic mechanisms. In the first pathway, NH3 is converted to NO2- via a homogeneous electrocatalytic process mediated by redox transformations of aqueous [Cu(OH)4]-/2- species which dissolve from the electrode. The second pathway is the heterogeneous catalytic oxidation of NH3 on the electrode surface favouring the formation of NO3-. By virtue of its nature, the homogeneous mediated pathway enables higher selectivity and is less affected by electrode poisoning with the strongly adsorbed "N" intermediates that has plagued the electrocatalytic ammonia oxidation field. Thus, the selectivity of the Cu-catalysed NH3 oxidation towards either nitrite or nitrate can be achieved through balancing the kinetics of the two mechanisms by adjusting the pH of the electrolyte medium and potential.
This systematic review aimed to discuss the prevalence and the risk factors of the musculoskeletal pain in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Four databases were analysed (Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane and EMBASE). We excluded systematic reviews, meta-analyses, conference abstracts and case reports. Two authors independently checked for the eligibility of the relevant articles. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Newcastle Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale and the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist. The selection and evaluation of studies followed the PRISMA guidelines.

Twenty studies were retrieved, including from 21 to 7952 patients with COPD. The prevalence of pain was highly heterogeneous across studies 7-89.7%. Pain was mostly reported in the lumbar (7-69%) and cervical spine (11-48.3%) and the chest (44-82.8%). The main risk factors for developing pain were old age, sex (female), level of physical activity (low) and comorbidities.

Pain is a very common symptom in patients with COPD. Despite this, few clinical trials have investigated the pain. It appears to be located primarily in the lumbar, cervical and thoracic regions and facilitated by being a female, a low level of physical activity, comorbidity(ies) and old age.

The present review aims to explore the process of the mitochondrial quality control system as a new source of the potential diagnostic biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets for diseases, including mitophagy, mitochondrial dynamics, interactions between mitochondria and other organelles (lipid droplets, endoplasmic reticulum, endosomes, and lysosomes), as well as the regulation and posttranscriptional modifications of mitochondrial DNA/RNA (mtDNA/mtRNA). The direct and indirect influencing factors were especially illustrated in understanding the interactions among regulators of mitochondrial dynamics. In addition, mtDNA/mtRNAs and proteomic profiles of mitochondria in various lung diseases were also discussed as an example. Thus, alternations of mitochondria-associated regulators can be a new category of biomarkers and targets for disease diagnosis and therapy.The rapid development of technologies provides the potential to perform real-time visualization of transcriptional bursting patterns, superenhancer formation and sensitivity to perturbation, and interactions between enhancers, promoters, and regulators during the burst. The transcriptional bursting-induced fluctuation can modify cell capacities, cell-cell communications, cell responses to microenvironmental changes, and forms of cell death. A large number of clinical and translational studies describe the existence of heterogeneity among cells, tissues, and organs but mechanism-based understanding of how and why the heterogeneity exists and how it is formed. this website The transcriptional bursting, fluctuation, and control determine the development of heterogeneity and optimize cell functions in the cell development and differentiation, contribute to the initiation of cell dysfunction and tumorigenesis in response to environments, and development/evolvement of hyper/hyposensitivity to drugs. Spatiotemporal monitoring of transcriptional bursting and control provides a new insight and deeper understanding of spatiotemporal molecular medicine by integrating the transcriptional positioning and function with cell phenotypes, cell-cell communication, and clinical phenomes.Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive scarring disease with unknown etiology. The evidence of a pathogenic role for transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) in the development and progression of IPF is overwhelming. In the present study, we investigated the role of interleukin-22 (IL-22) in the pathogenesis of IPF by regulating the TGF-β pathway. We measured parameters and tissue samples from a clinical cohort of IPF. IL-22R knock out (IL-22RA1-/- ) and IL-22 supplementation mouse models were used to determine if IL-22 is protective in vivo. For the mechanistic study, we tested A549, primary mouse type II alveolar epithelial cell, human embryonic lung fibroblast, and primary fibroblast for their responses to IL-22 and/or TGF-β1. In a clinical cohort, the expression level of IL-22 in the peripheral blood and lung tissues of IPF patients was lower than healthy controls, and the lower IL-22 expression was associated with poorer pulmonary function. IL-22R-/- mice demonstrated exacerbated inflammation and fibrosis. Reciprocally, IL-22 augmentation by intranasal instillation of recombinant IL-22 repressed inflammation and fibrotic phenotype. In vitro, IL-22 treatment repressed TGF-β1 induced gene markers representing epithelial-mesenchymal-transition and fibroblast-myofibroblast-transition, likely via the inhibition of TGF-β receptor expression and subsequent Smad2/3 activation. IL-22 appears to be protective against pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting TGF-β1 signaling, and IL-22 augmentation may be a promising approach to treat IPF.Intrinsic resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors hinders their clinical utility in cancer treatment. Furthermore, the predictive markers of CDK4/6 inhibitors in gastric cancer (GC) remain incompletely described. Here, we found that PAX6 expression was negatively correlated with the response to palbociclib in vitro and in vivo in GC. We observed that the PAX6 expression level was negatively correlated with the overall survival of GC patients and further showed that PAX6 can promote GC cell proliferation and the cell cycle. The cell cycle is regulated by the interaction of cyclins with their partner serine/threonine cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), and the G1/S-phase transition is the main target of CDK4/6 inhibitors. Therefore, we tested whether PAX6 expression was correlated with the GC response to palbociclib. We found that PAX6 hypermethylates the promoter of LATS2 and inactivates the Hippo pathway, which upregulates cyclin D1 (CCND1) expression. This results in a suppressed response to palbociclib in GC. Furthermore, we found that the induction of the Hippo signaling pathway or treatment with a DNA methylation inhibitor could overcome PAX6-induced palbociclib resistance in GC. These findings uncover a tumor promoter function of PAX6 in GC and establish overexpressed PAX6 as a mechanism of resistance to palbociclib.
High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common and aggressive histotype of epithelial ovarian cancer. The heterogeneity and molecular basis of this disease remain incompletely understood.

To address this question, we have performed a single-cell transcriptomics analysis of matched primary and metastatic HGSOC samples.

A total of 13571 cells are categorized into six distinct cell types, including epithelial cells, fibroblast cells, T cells, B cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells. A subset of aggressive epithelial cells with hyperproliferative and drug-resistant potentials is identified. Several new markers that are highly expressed in epithelial cells are characterized, and their roles in ovarian cancer cell growth and migration are further confirmed. Dysregulation of multiple signaling pathways, including the translational machinery, is associated with ovarian cancer metastasis through the trajectory analysis. Moreover, single-cell regulatory network inference and clustering (SCENIC) analysis reveals the gene regulatory networks and suggests the JUN signaling pathway as a potential therapeutic target for treatment of ovarian cancer, which is validated using the JUN/AP-1 inhibitor T-5224.
