Niemann-pick C1 is essential for ebolavirus replication and pathogenesis in vivo.

MBio 6 , e00565-15, (2015)

Recent work demonstrated that the Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) protein is an essential entry receptor for filoviruses. While previous studies focused on filovirus entry requirements of NPC1 in vitro, its roles in filovirus replication and pathogenesis in vivo remai...

SMAC mimetic Debio 1143 synergizes with taxanes, topoisomerase inhibitors and bromodomain inhibitors to impede growth of lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Oncotarget 6 , 37410-25, (2015)

Targeting anti-apoptotic proteins can sensitize tumor cells to conventional chemotherapies or other targeted agents. Antagonizing the Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs) with mimetics of the pro-apoptotic protein SMAC is one such approach. We used sensitiz...

Arachidonic acid impairs hypothalamic leptin signaling and hepatic energy homeostasis in mice.

Mol. Cell. Endocrinol. 412 , 12-8, (2015)

Epidemiological evidence suggests that the consumption of a diet high in n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) is associated with the development of leptin resistance and obesity. We aim to examine the central effect of n-6 PUFA, arachidonic acid (ARA) on le...

Control of food intake and energy expenditure by Nos1 neurons of the paraventricular hypothalamus.

J. Neurosci. 34(46) , 15306-18, (2014)

The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) contains a heterogeneous cluster of Sim1-expressing cell types that comprise a major autonomic output nucleus and play critical roles in the control of food intake and energy homeostasis. The roles of spec...

Experience-dependent DNA methylation regulates plasticity in the developing visual cortex.

Nat. Neurosci. 18 , 956-8, (2015)

DNA methylation is an epigenetic repressor mark for transcription dynamically regulated in neurons. We analyzed visual experience regulation of DNA methylation in mice and its involvement in ocular dominance plasticity of the developing visual cortex. Monocul...

Intracisternal cyclodextrin prevents cerebellar dysfunction and Purkinje cell death in feline Niemann-Pick type C1 disease.

Sci. Transl. Med. 7(276) , 276ra26, (2015)

Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC) disease is a lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the NPC1 gene, leading to an increase in unesterified cholesterol and several sphingolipids, and resulting in hepatic disease and progressive neurological disease. We sho...

Protective effect of a Protein Epitope Mimetic CCR10 antagonist, POL7085, in a model of allergic eosinophilic airway inflammation.

Respir. Res. 16 , 77, (2015)

Potential involvement of the CCR10/CCL28 axis was recently reported in murine models of allergic asthma. If confirmed, blockade of the CCR10 receptor would represent an alternative to current asthma therapies. We evaluated the effect of a novel Protein Epitop...

Peroral amphotericin B polymer nanoparticles lead to comparable or superior in vivo antifungal activity to that of intravenous Ambisome® or Fungizone™.

PLoS ONE 6 , e25744, (2011)

Despite advances in the treatment, the morbidity and mortality rate associated with invasive aspergillosis remains unacceptably high (70-90%) in immunocompromised patients. Amphotericin B (AMB), a polyene antibiotic with broad spectrum antifungal activity app...

When administered to rats in a cold environment, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine reduces brown adipose tissue thermogenesis and increases tail blood flow: Effects of pretreatment with 5-HT1A and dopamine D2 antagonists

Neuroscience 154 , 1619-26, (2008)

When given in a warm environment MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, ecstasy) causes hyperthermia by increasing interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) heat production and decreasing heat loss via cutaneous vasoconstriction. When given in a cold enviro...

Synthesis, cytotoxicity, and phase-solubility study of cyclodextrin click clusters.

J. Pharm. Sci. 103(10) , 3183-9, (2014)

To explore the possibility of cyclodextrin click clusters (CCCs) as a new cyclodextrin-based excipient, we prepared three different CCCs; heptakis{6-(4-hydroxymethyl-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)-6-deoxy}-β-cyclodextrin (HT-β-CD), heptakis{6-(4-hydroxymethyl-1H-[1,...
