Plasma Membrane-bound G Protein-coupled Bile Acid Receptor Attenuates Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Via the Inhibition of Toll-like Receptor 4 Signaling in Mice

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Xu Wang

The plasma membrane-bound G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) displays varied levels of expression in different tissues. TGR5-induced liver protection has been demonstrated during several liver diseases, except during ischemia/reperfusion injury (I ...

Allosteric cross-talk in chromatin can mediate drug-drug synergy

Paul Joseph Dyson, Ursula Röthlisberger, Tina Riedel, Giulia Palermo

Exploitation of drug-drug synergism and allostery could yield superior therapies by capitalizing on the immensely diverse, but highly specific, potential associated with the biological macromolecular landscape. Here we describe a drug-drug synergy mediated ...

Combination of ruthenium(II)-arene complex [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)Cl-2(pta)] (RAPTA-C) and the epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor erlotinib results in efficient angiostatic and antitumor activity

Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Ume-Gulsoom Abdul, Patrick Meraldi

Ruthenium-based compounds show strong potential as anti-cancer drugs and are being investigated as alternatives to other well-established metal-based chemotherapeutics. The organometallic compound [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene) Cl-2(pta)], where pta = 1,3,5-triaza-7 ...

Clobetasol propionate causes immunosuppression in zebrafish (Danio rerio) at environmentally relevant concentrations

Kristin Schirmer, Anita Orsolya Hidasi

Synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) are potential endocrine disrupting compounds that have been detected in the aquatic environment around the world in the low ng/L (nanomolar) range. GCs are used as immunosuppressants in medicine. It is of high interest wheth ...

Expression proteomics study to determine metallodrug targets and optimal drug combinations

Paul Joseph Dyson, Kai Johnsson, David Hacker, Claire Samantha Allardyce

The emerging technique termed functional identification of target by expression proteomics (FITExP) has been shown to identify the key protein targets of anti-cancer drugs. Here, we use this approach to elucidate the proteins involved in the mechanism of a ...

Aptamer-based Field-Effect Biosensor for Tenofovir Detection

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara

During medical treatment it is critical to maintain the circulatory concentration of drugs within their therapeutic range. A novel biosensor is presented in this work to address the lack of a reliable point-of-care drug monitoring system in the market. The ...

Detection of environmental glucocorticoids and investigation of their effects using the zebrafish embryo as a model

Anita Orsolya Hidasi

Synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used anti-inflammatory drugs. They mimic cortisol, the natural stress hormone in humans and in fish. Cortisol binds and activates the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which regulates genes governing development, immu ...

The Molecular Basis for Dual Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH)/Cyclooxygenase (COX) Inhibition

Giulia Palermo

The design of multitarget-directed ligands is a promising strategy for discovering innovative drugs. Here, we report a mechanistic study that clarifies key aspects of the dual inhibition of the fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and the cyclooxygenase (COX) ...
