Nootkatone Supplementation Attenuates Carbon Tetrachloride Exposure-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Mice

Chongshan Dai et al.

Summary: Nootkatone (NKT), a major ingredient of Alpinia oxyphylla, has potential nephroprotective effects by inhibiting NOX4 and NF-kappa B pathways and activating Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. This study showed that NKT pretreatment significantly attenuated CCl4-induced kidney injury, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response in mice. NKT also downregulated the expression of pro-inflammatory proteins and upregulated the expression of antioxidant enzymes in kidney tissues. These findings suggest the therapeutic application of NKT for kidney diseases.

Alpha-thiol deoxynucleotide triphosphates (S-dNTPs) as radioprotective agents: A novel approach

John G. Bruno et al.

Summary: This study investigated the ability of a mixture of four different alpha-thiol deoxynucleotide triphosphates (S-dNTPs) to protect proliferating human HL-60 and Mono-Mac-6 (MM-6) cells from gamma radiation. The incorporation of S-dNTPs into nuclear DNA was confirmed using agarose gel electrophoretic band shift analysis. No toxicity or morphological differentiation was observed in the presence of S-dNTPs. The results showed that S-dNTPs provided protection against radiation-induced DNA damage.

Asparagine protects pericentral hepatocytes during acute liver injury

Yu Sun et al.

Summary: The enzyme asparagine synthetase (ASNS) is responsible for the de novo synthesis of the nonessential amino acid asparagine. The expression of ASNS in pericentral hepatocytes, specialized liver cells in xenobiotic detoxification, is significantly increased in models of acute liver injury. Mice with hepatocyte-specific Asns deletion are more susceptible to pericentral liver damage, which can be reversed by intravenous administration of asparagine. The upregulation of ASNS in response to stress is mediated by the nuclear receptor, liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1; NR5A2) through an ATF4-independent, noncanonical pathway.
