Regulation of acetylcholinesterase during the lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory responses in microglial cells

Yingjie Xia et al.

Summary: This study explores the role of AChE in neuroinflammation and finds that AChE expression is upregulated during inflammation, while ACh or α7 nAChR agonists can suppress the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the phagocytosis of microglia.

Antimicrobial Properties of Antidepressants and Antipsychotics-Possibilities and Implications

Marina Caldara et al.

Summary: Research has shown that antidepressants and antipsychotics can inhibit the growth of different yeasts and bacteria, potentially becoming new antimicrobial treatments. Drug repositioning, which involves finding new clinical targets for old drugs, could reduce the cost and speed up the approval timeline for developing new drugs.

Analysis of the Oxidative Stress Regulon Identifies soxS as a Genetic Target for Resistance Reversal in Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

Joao Anes et al.

Summary: This study induced oxidative stress in K. pneumoniae MGH78578 using paraquat and identified the soxS gene as significantly induced during oxidative stress, potentially serving as a genetic target against multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae infections. The soxS mutant exhibited reduced susceptibility to tetracycline, with impaired efflux activity leading to tetracycline accumulation in the cytoplasm. The study suggests that targeting the soxS gene could be a promising strategy for combating antimicrobial resistance in K. pneumoniae.
