Article Abstract
The anticancer activity of a series of novel synthesized, hydroxypyridone-based metal chelators (analogues of L-mimosine) was evaluated in an in vitro model of melanoma consisting of malignant melanoma (A375), non-melanoma epidermoid carcinoma (A431) and immortalized non-malignant keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells. More specifically, we have demonstrated that the L-enantiomer of a methylated analogue of L-mimosine (compound 22) can exert a potent anticancer effect in A375 cells when compared to either A431 or HaCaT cells. Moreover, we have demonstrated that this analogue has the ability to i) promote increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), ii) activate both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis and iii) induce perturbations in cell cycle growth arrest. Our data highlights the potential of compound 22 to act as a promising therapeutic agent against an in vitro model of human malignant melanoma.

Objectives: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common chronic degenerative diseases, with chondrocyte apoptosis and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation as the major pathological changes. The mechanical stimulation can attenuate chondrocyte apoptosis and promote ECM synthesis, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the role of primary cilia (PC) in mediating the effects of mechanical stimulation on OA progression.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease, and early diagnosis and effective treatment are essential for managing its progression. This study focuses on the development of a novel drug delivery system using aggregation-induced emission (AIE) probe for enhanced fluorescence imaging and targeted therapy in OA. TPE-S-BTD, an AIE probe, is synthesized and characterized for its photophysical properties, demonstrating significant aggregation-induced fluorescence enhancement.

Leishmaniasis, a disease caused by Leishmania parasites, poses a significant health threat globally, particularly in Latin America and Brazil. Leishmania amazonensis is an important species because it is associated with both cutaneous leishmaniasis and an atypical visceral form. Current treatments are hindered by toxicity, resistance, and high cost, driving the need for new therapeutic targets and drugs.

Background/aims: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in hepatocytes plays a causative role in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The incomplete inhibition of ER stress by targeting canonical ER stress sensor proteins suggests the existence of noncanonical ER stress pathways in ALD pathology. This study aimed to delineate the role of RAB25 in ALD and its regulatory mechanism in noncanonical ER stress pathways.
