A gene co-expression network-based analysis of multiple brain tissues reveals novel genes and molecular pathways underlying major depression
(PLOS Genetics, 2019-07)
Major depression is a common and severe psychiatric disorder with a highly polygenic genetic architecture. Genome-wide association studies have successfully identified multiple independent genetic loci that harbour variants ...
Antigen receptor control of methionine metabolism in T cells
(eLife, 2019-03-27)
Immune activated T lymphocytes modulate the activity of key metabolic pathways to support the transcriptional reprograming and reshaping of cell proteomes that permits effector T cell differentiation. The present study ...
Activation of STAT3 signaling is mediated by TFF1 silencing in gastric neoplasia
(NATURE COMMUNICATIONS, 2019-07-10)
TFF1, a secreted protein, plays an essential role in keeping the integrity of gastric mucosa and its barrier function. Loss of TFF1 expression in the TFF1-knockout (KO) mouse leads to a pro-inflammatory phenotype with a ...
Apical Shear Stress Enhanced Organic Cation Transport in Human OCT2/MATE1-Transfected Madin-Darby Canine Kidney Cells Involves Ciliary Sensing
(Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2019-06-01)
Active transport by renal proximal tubules plays a significant role in drug disposition. During drug development, estimates of renal excretion are essential to dose determination. Kidney bioreactors that reproduce physiologic ...
Th1-type immune responses to Porphyromonas gingivalis antigens exacerbate angiotensin II-dependent hypertension and vascular dysfunction
(British Journal of Pharmacology, 2019-06)
Background and Purpose Emerging evidence indicates that hypertension is mediated by immune mechanisms. We hypothesized that exposure to Porphyromonas gingivalis antigens, commonly encountered in periodontal disease, can ...
