Impact of Combined Acidic and Hyperosmotic Shock Conditions on the Proteome of Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115 in a Time-Course Study by Dong Lai Zhang, Ya Long Bai, John P. Bowman

“…From the iTRAQ results, the proteome level changes that occur rapidly during the inactivation process mainly affected prophage, cell defense/detoxification, carbohydrate-related metabolism, transporter proteins, phosphotransferase systems, cell wall biogenesis, and specific cell surface proteins. Pathway map analysis revealed that several pathways are affected including pentose and glucuronate interconversions, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, pyruvate metabolism, valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, and proteins associated with bacterial invasion of epithelial cells and host survival. …”

Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals an Altered Hcy Metabolism in the Stria Vascularis of the Pendred Syndrome Mouse Model by Wenyue Xue, Yuxin Tian, Yuanping Xiong, Feng Liu, Yanmei Feng, Zhengnong Chen, Dongzhen Yu, Shankai Yin

“…Transcriptomic profiling revealed that Slc26a4 deficiency significantly affected the expression of genes associated with cell adhesion, transmembrane transport, and the biogenesis of multicellular organisms. The SV from Slc26a4-/- mice exhibited a higher expression of Bhmt mRNAs, as well as altered homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism. …”

Acetylation of E2F1 at K125 facilitates cell apoptosis under serum stress by Zejun Fang, Chaoju Gong, Yanyan Hu, Tingting Cui, Min Lin, Sha Lin, Ming Ye

“…E2F1 is a critical transcription factor that regulates cell cycle progression, is expressed at high levels in most cancer cells, and activates the biogenesis of proteins related to the cell cycle. Over recent years, researchers have demonstrated that E2F1 could also facilitate cellular apoptosis under conditions of cellular stress, thus creating a double-edged sword associated with both the regulation of cellular survival and death. …”

Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Cannabidiol in U87MG Cells: Effects on Autophagy and NRF2 Pathway by Laura Giannotti, Benedetta Di Chiara Stanca, Francesco Spedicato, Daniele Vergara, Eleonora Stanca, Fabrizio Damiano, Luisa Siculella

“…The alteration of redox status by CBD caused an attempt to rescue mitochondrial functionality through nuclear localization of the GABP transcription factor involved in mitochondria biogenesis. Moreover, CBD treatment caused an increase in autophagic flux, as supported by the increase in Beclin-1 and the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I. …”

Evidence for Decreased Nucleolar PARP-1 as an Early Marker of Cognitive Impairment by Matthew Regier, Jiancong Liang, Alexander Choi, Kavita Verma, Jenny Libien, A. Iván Hernández

“…We proposed that the displacement of PARP-1 from the nucleolus results in downregulation of new rRNA expression and ribosome biogenesis, leading to cognitive impairment. To further investigate the relationship between nucleolar PARP-1 and memory impairment, we examined PARP-1 expression in the hippocampi of individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) compared to control and AD cases. …”

The BET inhibitor JQ1 targets fat metabolism and counteracts obesity by Claudia Fornelli, Alessia Sofia Cento, Lorenzo Nevi, Raffaella Mastrocola, Gustavo Ferreira Alves, Giuseppina Caretti, Massimo Collino, Fabio Penna

“…JQ1 administration did not impinge on skeletal muscle metabolism and oxidative capability, as shown by the lack of significant impact on mitochondrial mass and biogenesis. Conclusion: In conclusion, the current data highlight a potential benefit of JQ1 administration to counteract obesity, suggesting epigenetic modulation as a prospective target in the treatment of obesity and sarcopenic obesity, despite the underlying multiorgan molecular mechanism is still not completely elucidated.…”

Compilation and functional classification of telomere length-associated genes in humans and other animal species by E. V. Ignatieva, N. S. Yudin, D. M. Larkin

“…Functional analysis has shown that telomere length can be influenced by genetic variants in the genes encoding: (1) structural components of telomerase; (2) the protein components of telomeric regions (shelterin and CST complexes); (3) the proteins involved in telomerase biogenesis and regulating its activity; (4) the proteins that regulate the functional activity of the shelterin components; (5) the proteins involved in telomere replication and/or capping; (6) the proteins involved in the alternative telomere lengthening; (7) the proteins that respond to DNA damage and are responsible for DNA repair; (8) RNA-exosome components. …”
