In silicoandin vitroinvestigations on the protein-protein interactions of glutathione S-transferases with mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 and apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1

Chakradhara Rao S. Uppugunduri et al.

Summary: This study investigated the protein-protein interactions between seven cytosolic GSTs and MAPK8 and ASK1 using in silico and in vitro methods. The results showed that GST-M1 had a higher binding affinity with MAPK8 and ASK1, and exhibited better structural stability.

Revisiting IRF1-mediated antiviral innate immunity

Hao Zhou et al.

Summary: This article summarizes recent advances in IRF1 research and highlights its potential roles in initiating interferon immune responses and antiviral responses. The challenges regarding IRF7-mediated interferon positive feedback during infection are discussed, and a revised model is proposed to decipher the functional roles of IRF1 in antiviral immunity.

Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor Is Present in Circulating and Tissue-Recruited Human Eosinophils and Regulates Their Migratory Function

Oktawia Osiecka et al.

Summary: Eosinophils are a major source of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) among circulating leukocytes, and SLPI is stored in the crystalline core of eosinophil granules. Patients with allergy-associated diseases have elevated levels of SLPI in their blood and skin. Exogenous SLPI increases the number of eosinophils and enhances their chemotactic response to CCL11.

Circulating inflammatory monocytes oppose microglia and contribute to cone cell death in retinitis pigmentosa

Jun Funatsu et al.

Summary: Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited disease that affects the eyes and can lead to blindness. Inflammatory monocytes play a key role in the progression of the disease. Treatment strategies that target these cells can potentially delay the progression of the disease.

Mitigating the pro-oxidant state and melanogenesis of Retinitis pigmentosa: by counteracting mitochondrial dysfunction

Giovanni Pagano et al.

Summary: Retinitis pigmentosa is a mitochondrial disease with no current cure, but a combination of mitochondrial nutrients may be effective in delaying progression. Research suggests the need for testing these combinations in animal models to validate potential protective effects against retinal oxidative stress.

Retinal Inflammation, Cell Death and Inherited Retinal Dystrophies

Lorena Olivares-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) are a group of retinal disorders that lead to progressive vision loss due to retinal cell death, predominantly photoreceptor cells. The treatment of IRDs is complicated by genetic and clinical heterogeneity, but reducing retinal inflammation has emerged as an effective approach to slowing disease progression.

Regional differences in genes and variants causing retinitis pigmentosa in Japan

Yoshito Koyanagi et al.

Summary: The study investigated regional differences in genes and variants causing retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in Japan, identifying region-specific pathogenic variants in the Japanese population. While the proportions of genetically solved cases did not differ significantly among the three regions, certain pathogenic variants were found to be more prevalent in specific regions. Further research into causative genes across different regions in Japan may help expand the catalog of genetic variants causing RP.

Investigation of brain damage mechanism in middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion rats based on i-TRAQ quantitative proteomics

Quantao Ma et al.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the differential protein expression profile in the cerebral cortex of rats with MCAO/R, revealing 199 significant difference proteins and shedding light on the impact of MCAO/R on the brain damage mechanism. The research provides an experimental foundation for searching specific marker proteins of MCAO/R.

Glutathione S-Transferase Gene Associations and Gene-Environment Interactions for Asthma

Xin Dai et al.

Summary: Evidence on the association between GST genes and asthma remains weak or inconsistent. Failure to consider environmental exposures may explain the lack of consistency. There is a high likelihood that environmental exposures interact with GST genes in the antioxidant pathway. Carriers of specific GST genotypes are more susceptible to environmental oxidative exposures and have a higher risk of asthma. Further investigations are needed to explore the inconsistencies in results.
