Excess amounts of saturated fatty acids (FAs) are toxic to organisms, a condition termed lipotoxicity, which is often accompanied by pleiotropic cellular and tissue dysfunction. Here, we show that pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) exerts toxicity on the fission yeast by generating an aberrantly planar endoplasmic reticulum (ER) structure, which we named a "giant ER sheet." Untargeted lipidomics revealed that C15:0 is incorporated into complex lipids depending on an acyl-CoA ligase Lcf1 and an acyl-CoA transferase Slc1, thereby increasing the saturation level of the acyl chains.

Platelet α-granules are rich in transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), which is associated with myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) biology. Responders to thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) revealed a parallel increase in the number of both platelets and MDSCs. Here, anti-CD61 immune-sensitized splenocytes were transferred into severe combined immunodeficient mice to establish an active murine model of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

Background: Prostate cancer (PCA) is one of the leading causes of death among men, being related to several factors, including the aging male population, like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a histopathological and hyperplastic alteration associated to prostate aging. The FASL, BCL-2 and BAX genes are involved in cell apoptosis regulation and can be related to the development of both cancer and hyperplasia. This study aimed to investigate the association of FASL - 844 (rs763110), BCL-2 -938 (rs2279115) and BAX - 248 (rs4645878) polymorphic variants in Southern Brazilian PCA and BPH patients and healthy controls.

In the immune system, T lymphocytes undergo rapid clonal expansion upon pathogen infection. Following pathogen clearance, most of proliferated T cells will be eliminated by the apoptosis pathway to keep the balance of immune cells. FASLG, by interacting with its cognate receptor FAS, plays a major role in controlling the T cell death.
