Total Analysis of Microcystins in Fish Tissue Using Laser Thermal Desorption-Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LDTD-APCI-HRMS).

J. Agric. Food Chem. 63 , 7440-9, (2015)

Microcystins (MCs) are cyanobacterial toxins encountered in aquatic environments worldwide. Over 100 MC variants have been identified and have the capacity to covalently bind to animal tissue. This study presents a new approach for cell-bound and free microcy...

Translating clinical findings into knowledge in drug safety evaluation--drug induced liver injury prediction system (DILIps).

J. Sci. Ind. Res. 65(10) , 808, (2006)

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a significant concern in drug development due to the poor concordance between preclinical and clinical findings of liver toxicity. We hypothesized that the DILI types (hepatotoxic side effects) seen in the clinic can be tra...

Different dose-dependent mechanisms are involved in early cyclosporine a-induced cholestatic effects in hepaRG cells.

Toxicol. Sci. 141(1) , 244-53, (2014)

Mechanisms involved in drug-induced cholestasis in humans remain poorly understood. Although cyclosporine A (CsA) and tacrolimus (FK506) share similar immunosuppressive properties, only CsA is known to cause dose-dependent cholestasis. Here, we have investiga...

The effect of glucose concentration and sodium phenylbutyrate treatment on mitochondrial bioenergetics and ER stress in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1853(1) , 213-21, (2015)

While the 3T3-L1 adipocyte model is routinely used for the study of obesity and diabetes, the mitochondrial respiratory profile in normal versus high glucose has not been examined in detail. We matured adipocytes in normal (5mM) or high (30 mM) glucose and in...

Piperlongumine selectively kills hepatocellular carcinoma cells and preferentially inhibits their invasion via ROS-ER-MAPKs-CHOP.

Oncotarget 6(8) , 6406-21, (2015)

Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) are highly malignant and aggressive tumors lack of effective therapeutic drugs. Piperlongumine (PL), a natural product isolated from longer pepper plants, is recently identified as a potent cytotoxic compound highly selective t...

Molecular modifications on carboxylic acid derivatives as potent histone deacetylase inhibitors: Activity and docking studies.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. 17 , 5219-28, (2009)

In the light of known HDAC inhibitors, 33 carboxylic acid derivatives were tested to understand the structural requirements for HDAC inhibition activity. Several modifications were applied to develop the structure-activity relationships of carboxylic acid HDA...

Lack of phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase alters hepatic phospholipid composition and induces endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1852 , 2689-99, (2015)

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is associated with development of steatohepatitis. Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) is a hepatic enzyme located on the ER and mitochondria-associated membranes and catalyzes phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthes...

In silico and in vitro filters for the fast estimation of skin permeation and distribution of new chemical entities.

J. Med. Chem. 50 , 742-8, (2007)

The development of in silico and in vitro tools to estimate or predict the passive human skin permeation and distribution of new chemical entities, useful in dermal drug delivery, in absorption studies of toxic compounds, and in the cosmetics industry, is pre...

4-Phenylbutyric Acid (4-PBA) and Lithium Cooperatively Attenuate Cell Death during Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation (OGD) and Reoxygenation.

Cell. Mol. Neurobiol. 35 , 849-59, (2015)

Hypoxia is an important cause of brain injury in ischemic stroke. It is known that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is an important determinant of cell survival or death during hypoxia. However, the signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms involved remain...

Integrated cell and process engineering for improved transient production of a "difficult-to-express" fusion protein by CHO cells.

Biotechnol. Bioeng. 112 , 2527-42, (2015)

Based on an optimized electroporation protocol, we designed a rapid, milliliter-scale diagnostic transient production assay to identify limitations in the ability of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to produce a model "difficult-to-express" homodimeric Fc-fu...
