H4 histamine receptors inhibit steroidogenesis and proliferation in Leydig cells.
J. Endocrinol. 223(3) , 241-53, (2014) The histamine H4 receptor (HRH4), discovered only 13 years ago, is considered a promising drug target for allergy, inflammation, autoimmune disorders and cancer, as reflected by a steadily growing number of scientific publications and patent applications. Alt... |

Preclinical evaluation of cyclin dependent kinase 11 and casein kinase 2 survival kinases as RNA interference targets for triple negative breast cancer therapy.
Breast Cancer Res. 17 , 19, (2015) Targeted therapies for aggressive breast cancers like triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) are needed. The use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to disable expression of survival genes provides a tool for killing these cancer cells. Cyclin dependent kinase 1... |

Mitochondrial targeting of bilirubin regulatory enzymes: An adaptive response to oxidative stress.
Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 282(1) , 77-89, (2015) The intracellular level of bilirubin (BR), an endogenous antioxidant that is cytotoxic at high concentrations, is tightly controlled within the optimal therapeutic range. We have recently described a concerted intracellular BR regulation by two microsomal enz... |

Paralcaligenes ginsengisoli sp. nov., isolated from ginseng cultivated soil.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 108 , 619-26, (2015) A novel bacterial strain DCY104(T) isolated from soil of a ginseng field in Yeoncheon County, Republic of Korea is described in this study. Cells were short rod-shaped, motile by mean of one polar flagellum, strictly aerobic, Gramreaction negative, oxidase an... |

Mass spectrometric detection and characterization of atypical membrane-bound zinc-sensitive phosphatases modulating GABAA receptors.
PLoS ONE 9(6) , e100612, (2014) GABAA receptor (GABAAR) function is maintained by an endogenous phosphorylation mechanism for which the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is the kinase. This phosphorylation is specific to the long intracellular loop I2 of the... |

Spermine oxidase maintains basal skeletal muscle gene expression and fiber size and is strongly repressed by conditions that cause skeletal muscle atrophy.
Am. J. Physiol. Endocrinol. Metab. 308(2) , E144-58, (2015) Skeletal muscle atrophy is a common and debilitating condition that remains poorly understood at the molecular level. To better understand the mechanisms of muscle atrophy, we used mouse models to search for a skeletal muscle protein that helps to maintain mu... |

Micro-scale strategy to detect spermine and spermidine by MALDI-TOF MS in foods and identification of apoptosis-related proteins by nano-flow UPLC-MS/MS after treatment with spermine and spermidine.
J. Chromatogr. B. Analyt. Technol. Biomed. Life Sci. 978-979 , 131-7, (2015) Spermine and spermidine are multiple-nitrogen compounds found in many foods. Both compounds are essential for cell growth and human health. This study established a simple and fast method of detecting spermine and spermidine in food samples by matrix-assisted... |

Self-immolative polycations as gene delivery vectors and prodrugs targeting polyamine metabolism in cancer.
Mol. Pharm. 12(2) , 332-41, (2015) Polycations are explored as carriers to deliver therapeutic nucleic acids. Polycations are conventionally pharmacological inert with the sole function of delivering therapeutic cargo. This study reports synthesis of a self-immolative polycation (DSS-BEN) base... |

Sulfur amino acid metabolism in Zucker diabetic fatty rats.
Biochem. Pharmacol. 96 , 256-66, (2015) The present study was aimed to investigate the metabolomics of sulfur amino acids in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, an obese type 2 diabetic animal model. Plasma levels of total cysteine, homocysteine and methionine, but not glutathione (GSH) were markedly... |

A Direct Interaction with RNA Dramatically Enhances the Catalytic Activity of the HIV-1 Protease In Vitro.
J. Mol. Biol. 427 , 2360-78, (2015) Though the steps of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) virion maturation are well documented, the mechanisms regulating the proteolysis of the Gag and Gag-Pro-Pol polyproteins by the HIV-1 protease (PR) remain obscure. One proposed mechanism argues t... |
