Arginine Deprivation in AML Cells Induces Ferroptosis, a Type of Autophagy-Mediated Cell Death by Tohme, Sara

“…This is followed by an increase in lipid peroxidation which peaks at later timepoints and varies between different cell lines. Studying expression levels of regulatory proteins involved in iron homeostasis (FTH1, NCOA4 and DMT1/SLC11A2) and oxidative stress defense (NRF2, KEAP1, AIFM2/FSP1, 4f2hc/CD98, xCT/SLC7A11, and GPX4) suggests altered iron distribution and impaired antioxidant system in treated cells. …”

In vitro ischemia suppresses hypoxic induction of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α by inhibition of synthesis and not enhanced degradation by Sleiman, Sama F.

“…We validated the use of a reporter containing the oxygen-dependent degradation domain of HIF-1α fused to firefly luciferase (ODD-luc) to monitor quantitatively distinct biochemical events leading to hypoxic HIF-1α expression or stabilization in a human neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y). When OGD was imposed following a 2-hr hypoxic stabilization of ODD-luc, the levels of the reporter were reduced, consistent with prior models proposing that OGD enhances HIF prolylhydroxylase (PHD) activity. …”

The global, regional, and national burden of oesophageal cancer and its attributable risk factors in 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global... by Farin Kamangar (63964)

“…Oesophageal cancer caused 9·78 million (9·53–10·03) DALYs, with an age-standardised rate of 120 (117–123) per 100 000 population. Between 1990 and 2017, age-standardised incidence decreased by 22·0% (18·6–25·2), mortality decreased by 29·0% (25·8–32·0), and DALYs decreased by 33·4% (30·4–36·1) globally. …”

Maternal Body Mass Index and Recommended Gestational Weight Gain in a Middle Eastern Setting by Tawa Olukade (11619453)

“…</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The mean maternal age was 29.7 ± 5.5 years, prepregnancy BMI was 27.5 ± 5.8 kg/m2, GWG was 9.58 kg ± 6.87 kg and gestational age at birth was 38.5 ± 1.9 weeks. In line with IOM recommendations, we found that higher BMI was correlated with decreased GWG and BMI was significantly associated with GWG even after adjusting for maternal age, parity, and infants’ gestational age at birth. …”
