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 ...
Decreased methylglyoxal-mediated protein glycation in the healthy aging mouse model of ectopic expression of UCP1 in skeletal muscle
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Mice with ectopic expression of uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) in skeletal muscle exhibit a healthy aging phenotype with increased longevity and resistance to impaired metabolic health. This may be achieved by decreasing ...
A low glycemic diet protects disease-prone Nrf2-deficient mice against age-related macular degeneration.
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major blinding disease, affecting over 14% of the elderly. Risk for AMD is related to age, diet, environment, and genetics. Dietary modulation of AMD risk is a promising treatment ...
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 ...
Potential Markers of Dietary Glycemic Exposures for Sustained Dietary Interventions in Populations without Diabetes.
(
Oxford University Press
, 2020 , Article)
There is considerable interest in dietary and other approaches to maintaining blood glucose concentrations within the normal range and minimizing exposure to postprandial hyperglycemic excursions. The accepted marker to ...
High fractional excretion of glycation adducts is associated with subsequent early decline in renal function in type 1 diabetes
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2020 , Article)
Increased protein glycation, oxidation and nitration is linked to the development of diabetic nephropathy. We reported levels of serum protein glycation, oxidation and nitration and related hydrolysis products, glycation, ...
Protein Glycation in Plants-An Under-Researched Field with Much Still to Discover.
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Recent research has identified glycation as a non-enzymatic post-translational modification of proteins in plants with a potential contributory role to the functional impairment of the plant proteome. Reducing sugars with ...
Hexokinase-linked glycolytic overload and unscheduled glycolysis in hyperglycemia-induced pathogenesis of insulin resistance, beta-cell glucotoxicity, and diabetic vascular complications
(
Frontiers Media SA
, 2023 , Article)
Hyperglycemia is a risk factor for the development of insulin resistance, beta-cell glucotoxicity, and vascular complications of diabetes. We propose the hypothesis, hexokinase-linked glycolytic overload and unscheduled ...
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 ...
Glycolytic overload-driven dysfunction of periodontal ligament fibroblasts in high glucose concentration, corrected by glyoxalase 1 inducer
(
BMJ Publishing Group
, 2020 , Article)
Introduction Patients with diabetes have increased risk of periodontal disease, with increased risk of weakening of periodontal ligament and tooth loss. Periodontal ligament is produced and maintained by periodontal ligament ...
