The interplay between probiotics and host autophagy: mechanisms of action and emerging insights

6 months 4 weeks ago
Autophagy, a lysosome-dependent protein degradation mechanism, is a highly conserved catabolic process seen in all eukaryotes. This cell protection system, which is present in all tissues and functions at a basic level, can be up- or downregulated in response to various stresses. A disruption in the natural route of the autophagy process is frequently followed by an interruption in the inherent operation of the body's cells and organs. Probiotics are live bacteria that protect the host through...

The common <em>Sting1 HAQ, AQ</em> alleles rescue CD4 T cellpenia, restore T-regs, and prevent <em>SAVI (N153S</em>) inflammatory disease in mice

6 months 4 weeks ago
The significance of STING1 gene in tissue inflammation and cancer immunotherapy has been increasingly recognized. Intriguingly, common human STING1 alleles R71H-G230A-R293Q (HAQ) and G230A-R293Q (AQ) are carried by ~60% of East Asians and ~40% of Africans, respectively. Here, we examine the modulatory effects of HAQ, AQ alleles on STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI), an autosomal dominant, fatal inflammatory disease caused by gain-of-function human STING1 mutations. CD4 T...

Spatiotemporal formation of a single liquid-like condensate and amyloid fibrils of α-synuclein by optical trapping at solution surface

6 months 4 weeks ago
Liquid-like protein condensates have recently attracted much attention due to their critical roles in biological phenomena. They typically show high fluidity and reversibility for exhibiting biological functions, while occasionally serving as sites for the formation of amyloid fibrils. To comprehend the properties of protein condensates that underlie biological function and pathogenesis, it is crucial to study them at the single-condensate level; however, this is currently challenging due to a...

Cardiovascular risk of dementia is associated with brain-behaviour changes in cognitively healthy, middle-aged individuals

6 months 4 weeks ago
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) neuropathology start decades before clinical manifestations, but whether risk factors are associated with early cognitive and brain changes in midlife remains poorly understood. We examined whether AD risk factors were associated with cognition and functional connectivity (FC) between the Locus Coeruleus (LC) and hippocampus - two key brain structures in AD neuropathology - cross-sectionally and longitudinally in cognitively healthy midlife individuals....

In vivo DNA replication dynamics unveil aging-dependent replication stress

6 months 4 weeks ago
The genome duplication program is affected by multiple factors in vivo, including developmental cues, genotoxic stress, and aging. Here, we monitored DNA replication initiation dynamics in regenerating livers of young and old mice after partial hepatectomy to investigate the impact of aging. In young mice, the origin firing sites were well defined; the majority were located 10-50 kb upstream or downstream of expressed genes, and their position on the genome was conserved in human cells. Old mice...
