Ablation of LAT2 Transporter Causes Intramuscular Glutamine Accumulation and Inhibition of Fasting‐Induced Proteolysis by Meritxell Espino‐Guarch (22565774)

“…Ex vivo incubation of LAT2KO muscle with rapamycin recovered proteolysis function, demonstrating a mTORC1‐dependent pathway. Decreased proteolysis in LAT2KO animals was associated with increased mTORC1 translocation to the lysosome (mTORC1‐Lamp1 colocalization in fasted LAT2KO muscles was 1.23‐fold, <i>p</i> < 0.0001). …”

Risk of Malignancy in Indeterminate Liver Nodules Among Patients with Cirrhosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study by Yousef Yahia (19756989)

Targeting arginine auxotrophy in pancreatic cancer cells using human recombinant arginase I-induced arginine deprivation. (c2017) by Khalil, Nathalie

“…This absence of caspase activation was confirmed by a 72 hours cytotoxicity assay on Panc-1 cells, which revealed the failure of the pan-caspase inhibitor, Z-VAD, to reverse or decrease arginine depletion-triggered cell death. These findings indicate that HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000-induced arginine depletion results in nonapoptotic, caspase-independent cell death. …”

Impact of severe hypoglycemia on the heat shock and related protein response by Alexander S. Atkin (18520107)

“…At baseline, MAPKAPK5 (p = 0.02) and UBE2G2 (p = 0.003) were elevated and STUB1 decreased (p = 0.007) in T2D. At hypoglycemia: PPP3CA (p < 0.03) was increased and EPHA2 (p = 0.01) reduced in T2D; by contrast, three proteins were reduced in controls [HSPA1A (p = 0.007), HSPB1 (p < 0.02), SMAD3 (p = 0.005)] while only MAPKAPK5 was elevated (p = 0.02). …”
