Metallothioneins (MTs) are a family of small, highly conserved, cysteine-rich metal-binding proteins that are important for zinc and copper homeostasis, protection against oxidative stress, and buffering against toxic heavy metals. Individual human MT isoforms are candidate biomarkers for heavy...

Zinc and low-dose of cadmium protect sertoli cells against toxic-dose of cadmium: The role of metallothionein.

Iranian journal of reproductive medicine

Kheradmand F, Nourmohammadi I, Ahmadi-Faghih MA, Firoozrai M, Modarressi MH.

Iran J Reprod Med. 2013 Jun;11(6):487-94.

BACKGROUND: The impact of cadmium (Cd) on male infertility may be related to the interaction with metal-binding proteins known as metallothioneins (Mts). Trace elements like zinc (Zn) have protective effects on testicular damage induced by Cd.OBJECTIVE: We determined the...

In silico and experimental analyses predict the therapeutic value of an EZH2 inhibitor GSK343 against hepatocellular carcinoma through the induction of metallothionein genes.

There are currently no effective molecular targeted therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27)-specific methyltransferase, has been emerged as novel anticancer...

Antioxidant activities of two metallothionein-like proteins from sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam. `Tainong 57') storage roots and their synthesized peptides.

Botanical studies

Bot Stud. 2014 Dec;55(1):64. doi: 10.1186/s40529-014-0064-4. Epub 2014 Aug 15.

BACKGROUND: Metallothionein (MT) characterized by their low molecular weight and high cysteine content.RESULTS: Two recombinant proteins of MT-I and MT-II overproduced in E. coli (M15) was purified by NiCONCLUSIONS: These findings mean that a cysteine residue is most important...

Metallothionein, Copper and Alpha-Synuclein in Alpha-Synucleinopathies.

Frontiers in neuroscience

Okita Y, Rcom-H'cheo-Gauthier AN, Goulding M, Chung RS, Faller P, Pountney DL.
PMID: 28420950
Front Neurosci. 2017 Apr 04;11:114. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2017.00114. eCollection 2017.

Metallothioneins (MTs) are proteins that function by metal exchange to regulate the bioavailability of metals, such as zinc and copper. Copper functions in the brain to regulate mitochondria, neurotransmitter production, and cell signaling. Inappropriate copper binding can result in...

Expression of Growth Hormone Genes in Transgenic Mice.

Banbury report

Palmiter RD, Hammer RE, Brinster RL.
PMID: 27358506
Banbury Rep. 1985;20:123-132.

Human or rat growth hormone (GH) genes have been introduced into all cells of a mouse by microinjection of fertilized eggs but they were not expressed under their own promoters. However, substitution of a mouse metallothionein (MT) promoter allowed...

Propylthiouracil, Perchlorate, and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Modulate High Concentrations of Iodide Instigated Mitochondrial Superoxide Production in the Thyroids of Metallothionein I/II Knockout Mice.

Endocrinology and metabolism (Seoul, Korea)

Duan Q, Wang T, Zhang N, Perera V, Liang X, Abeysekera IR, Yao X.
PMID: 26754589
Endocrinol Metab (Seoul). 2016 Mar;31(1):174-84. doi: 10.3803/EnM.2016.31.1.174.

BACKGROUND: Increased oxidative stress has been suggested as one of the underlying mechanisms in iodide excess-induced thyroid disease. Metallothioneins (MTs) are regarded as scavengers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in oxidative stress. Our aim is to investigate the effects...

Atorvastatin alters the expression of genes related to bile acid metabolism and circadian clock in livers of mice.

PeerJ

Li WK, Li H, Lu YF, Li YY, Fu ZD, Liu J.
PMID: 28533986
