Dicarbonyl stress, protein glycation and the unfolded protein response
( Springer , 2021 , Article Review)The reactive dicarbonyl metabolite, methylglyoxal (MG), is increased in obesity and diabetes and is implicated in the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus and vascular complications of diabetes. ... -
Hexokinase-2-Linked Glycolytic Overload and Unscheduled Glycolysis—Driver of Insulin Resistance and Development of Vascular Complications of Diabetes
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2022 , Article)The recent discovery of the glucose-induced stabilization of hexokinase-2 (HK2) to proteolysis in cell dysfunction in model hyperglycemia has revealed a likely key initiating factor contributing to the development of insulin ... -
Increased cellular protein modification by methylglyoxal activates endoplasmic reticulum-based sensors of the unfolded protein response
( Elsevier B.V. , 2024 , Article)The unfolded protein response (UPR) detects increased misfolded proteins and activates protein refolding, protein degradation and inflammatory responses. UPR sensors in the endoplasmic reticulum, IRE1α and PERK, bind and ... -
Reversal of insulin resistance in overweight and obese subjects by trans-resveratrol and hesperetin combination—link to dysglycemia, blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and low-grade inflammation
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2021 , Article)The dietary supplement, trans-resveratrol and hesperetin combination (tRES-HESP), induces expression of glyoxalase 1, countering the accumulation of reactive dicarbonyl glycating agent, methylglyoxal (MG), in overweight ... -
Studies of Glyoxalase 1-Linked Multidrug Resistance Reveal Glycolysis-Derived Reactive Metabolite, Methylglyoxal, Is a Common Contributor in Cancer Chemotherapy Targeting the Spliceosome
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2021 , Article)Background: Tumor glycolysis is a target for cancer chemotherapy. Methylglyoxal (MG) is a reactive metabolite formed mainly as a by-product in anaerobic glycolysis, metabolized by glyoxalase 1 (Glo1) of the glyoxalase ... -
Vulnerabilities of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus to Proteotoxicity—Opportunity for Repurposed Chemotherapy of COVID-19 Infection
( Frontiers Media , 2020 , Article)The global pandemic of COVID-19 disease caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, has produced an urgent requirement and search for improved treatments while effective vaccines are developed. A strategy for ...
