Local pH domains regulate NHE3-mediated Na⁺ reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule.

Am. J. Physiol. Renal Physiol. 307(11) , F1249-62, (2014)

The proximal tubule Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3), located in the apical dense microvilli (brush border), plays a major role in the reabsorption of NaCl and water in the renal proximal tubule. In response to a rise in blood pressure NHE3 redistributes in the ...

Role of polyol moiety of amphotericin B in ion channel formation and sterol selectivity in bilayer membrane.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. 23 , 5782-8, (2015)

Amphotericin B (AmB) is a polyene macrolide antibiotic widely used to treat mycotic infections. In this paper, we focus on the role of the polyol moiety of AmB in sterol selectivity using 7-oxo-AmB, 7α-OH-AmB, and 7β-OH-AmB. The 7-OH analogs were prepared fro...

A novel effect of DMOG on cell metabolism: direct inhibition of mitochondrial function precedes HIF target gene expression.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1847 , 1254-66, (2015)

Abnormal accumulation of oncometabolite fumarate and succinate is associated with inhibition of mitochondrial function and carcinogenesis. By competing with α-ketoglutarate, oncometabolites also activate hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs), which makes oncometab...

HRG-1 enhances cancer cell invasive potential and couples glucose metabolism to cytosolic/extracellular pH gradient regulation by the vacuolar-H(+) ATPase.

Oncogene 33(38) , 4653-63, (2014)

Haeme-responsive gene (HRG)-1 encodes a 16-kDa transmembrane protein that is induced by insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and associates with the vacuolar-(H(+)) ATPase (V-ATPase). We previously reported that HRG-1 is essential for V-ATPase activity in end...

Low CO2 permeability of cholesterol-containing liposomes detected by stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy.

FASEB J. 29 , 1780-93, (2015)

Here we ask the following: 1) what is the CO2 permeability (Pco2) of unilamellar liposomes composed of l-α-phosphatidylcholine (PC)/l-α-phosphatidylserine (PS) = 4:1 and containing cholesterol (Chol) at levels often occurring in biologic membranes (50 mol%), ...

Txnip ablation reduces vascular smooth muscle cell inflammation and ameliorates atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E knockout mice.

Atherosclerosis 241 , 313-21, (2015)

Inflammation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is intimately linked to atherosclerosis and other vascular inflammatory disease. Thioredoxin interacting protein (Txnip) is a key regulator of cellular sulfhydryl redox and a mediator of inflammasome activat...

Utilizing hydrogen sulfide as a novel anti-cancer agent by targeting cancer glycolysis and pH imbalance.

Br. J. Pharmacol. 171(18) , 4322-36, (2014)

Many disparate studies have reported the ambiguous role of hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) in cell survival. The present study investigated the effect of H2 S on the viability of cancer and non-cancer cells.Cancer and non-cancer cells were exposed to H2 S [using sodi...

Sulforhodamine B interacts with albumin to lower surface tension and protect against ventilation injury of flooded alveoli.

J. Appl. Physiol. 118(3) , 355-64, (2015)

In the acute respiratory distress syndrome, alveolar flooding by proteinaceous edema liquid impairs gas exchange. Mechanical ventilation is used as a supportive therapy. In regions of the edematous lung, alveolar flooding is heterogeneous, and stress is conce...

The dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitor inhibits the expression of vascular adhesion molecules and inflammatory cytokines in HUVECs via Akt- and AMPK-dependent mechanisms.

Mol. Cell. Endocrinol. 405 , 25-34, (2015)

Recently, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor, a major anti-hyperglycemic agent, has received substantial attention as a possible therapeutic target for inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis. However, the direct molecular mechanisms through whi...

Enhancement of binding kinetics on affinity substrates by laser point heating induced transport.

Analyst 141 , 1807-13, (2016)

Enhancing the time response and detection limit of affinity-binding based biosensors is an area of active research. For diffusion limited reactions, introducing active mass transport is an effective strategy to reduce the equilibration time and improve surfac...
