The inability of targeted BRAF inhibitors to produce long-lasting improvement in the clinical outcome of melanoma highlights a need to identify additional approaches to inhibit melanoma growth. Recent studies have shown that activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway decreases tumor...

Oxylipins derived from the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) act as important paracrine and autocrine signaling molecules. A subclass of oxylipins, the eicosanoids, have a broad range of physiological outcomes in inflammation, the immune response, cardiovascular homeostasis, and...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) depends on extensive association with the microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton for its structure and mitotic inheritance. However, mechanisms that underlie coupling of ER membranes to MTs are poorly understood. We have identified thousand and one amino...

The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is involved in neuronal differentiation. This study aimed to identify the biosynthetic enzymes responsible for 2-AG production during retinoic acid (RA)-induced neurite outgrowth of Neuro-2a cells. First, we confirmed that RA stimulation of Neuro-2a cells...

Multi-omics investigation reveals benzalkonium chloride disinfectants alter sterol and lipid homeostasis in the mouse neonatal brain.

Lipids are critical for neurodevelopment; therefore, disruption of lipid homeostasis by environmental chemicals is expected to have detrimental effects on this process. Previously, we demonstrated that the benzalkonium chlorides (BACs), a class of commonly used disinfectants, alter cholesterol biosynthesis...

Chem Rev. 2021 Sep 07; doi: 10.1021/acs.chemrev.1c00279. Epub 2021 Sep 07.

Solution-phase hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) is a widespread tool for structural analysis across academia and the biopharmaceutical industry. By monitoring the exchangeability of backbone amide protons, HDX-MS can reveal information about higher-order structure and dynamics...

Development and validation of a LC-MS/MS method for in vivo quantification of meta-iodobenzylguanidine (mIBG).

meta-iodobenzylguanidine (mIBG) is a radiopharmaceutical used for the diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine cancers. Previous quantification of mIBG in biodistribution and pharmacokinetic studies mainly relied on the use of radiolabeled mIBG, which involves the handling of highly radioactive materials....

BACKGROUND: Bupropion (BUP) is a chiral antidepressant and smoking cessation aide with benefits and side effects correlated with parent and active metabolite concentrations. BUP is metabolized by CYP2B6, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 to hydroxy-BUP (OH-BUP) as well as by 11β-hydroxysteroid...

Analytical and functional aspects of protein-ligand interactions: Beyond induced fit and conformational selection.

Ligand-dependent changes in protein conformation are foundational to biology. Historical mechanistic models for substrate-specific proteins are induced fit (IF) and conformational selection (CS), which invoke a change in protein conformation after ligand binds or before ligand binds, respectively. These...
