Open AccessTargeting pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 overcomes EGFR C797S mutation-driven osimertinib resistance in non-small cell lung cancer
Osimertinib, a selective third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), effectively targets the EGFR T790M mutant in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the new...

Cellular and subcellular localization of endogenous phospholipase D6 in seminiferous tubules of mouse testes
Phospholipase D6 (PLD6) plays pivotal roles in mitochondrial dynamics and spermatogenesis, but the cellular and subcellular localization of endogenous PLD6 in testis germ cells is poorly defined. We examined t...

Ultrastructure and synaptic connectivity of main and accessory olfactory bulb efferent projections terminating in the rat anterior piriform cortex and medial amygdala
Neurons in the main olfactory bulb relay peripheral odorant signals to the anterior piriform cortex (aPir), whereas neurons of the accessory olfactory bulb relay pheromone signals to the medial amygdala (MeA),...

Silencing of cytosolic NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase gene enhances ethanol-induced toxicity in HepG2 cells
It has been shown that acute and chronic alcohol administrations increase the production of reactive oxygen species, lower cellular antioxidant levels and enhance oxidative stress in many tissues. We recently ...

The coffee diterpene kahweol induces apoptosis in human leukemia U937 cells through down-regulation of Akt phosphorylation and activation of JNK
Kahweol, the coffee-specific diterpene, has been reported for its tumor cell growth inhibitory activity and anti-carcinogenic activity. The mechanism by which kahweol initiates apoptosis remains poorly underst...

Epigallocatechin gallate, a constituent of green tea, regulates high glucose-induced apoptosis
A high concentration of glucose has been implicated as a causal factor in initiation and progression of diabetic complications, and there is evidence to suggest that hyperglycemia increases the production of f...

Antioxidant enzyme inhibitors enhance peroxynitrite-induced cell death in U937 cells
Peroxynitrite, a potent physiological inorganic toxin, is known to play a critical role in cellular oxidative damage. The protective role of antioxidant enzymes against peroxynitrite-induced oxidative damage i...

Protection of peroxynitrite-induced DNA damage by dietary antioxidants
The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that dietary antioxidants protect DNA damage induced by peroxynitrite, a potent physiological inorganic toxin. The present study showed that dietary anti...
