Ebadi R, Rabiee F, Kordi-Tamandani D, Nasr-Esfahani MH, Ghaedi K (2021) Fndc5 knockdown significantly decreased the expression of neurotrophins and their respective receptors during neural differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells. Hum Cell 34(3):847-861. doi: 10.1007/s13577-021-00517-z PMID: 33683654

Objective: To evaluate whether knockdown of Fibronectin type III domain-containing-5 (Fndc5) decreases neural differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) by affecting the neurotrophins and their receptor expression.

Summary: Results suggest that decreased efficiency of neural differentiation following the reduction of Fndc5 expression could be attributed to decreased levels of NGF and BDNF proteins in addition to their cognate receptors.

Kang H, Wang Y, Zhong X, Yin W, Li F, Jiang J (2021) [Effect of salt intake on residual renal function in rats receiving peritoneal dialysis]. Nan Fang Yi Ke Da Xue Xue Bao 41(2):264-271. doi: 10.12122/j.issn.1673-4254.2021.02.15 PMID: 33624601

Objective: To assess the effect of salt intake on residual renal function in rats and explore the possible mechanism.

Summary: In rats with chronic renal failure, high salt intake promotes the activation of the renal RAS system, increases blood pressure, and aggravates renal fibrosis to accelerate the decline of residual renal function, and peritoneal dialysis partially reduces the damage of residual renal function induced by high-salt diets by removing excessive sodium.

Usage: Western Blot.

Objective: Regeneration efficiency and behavior of peripheral nerves are compared under three treatment strategies: 1) transplantation of Schwann cell progenitors induced from purified neural crest stem cells; 2) implantation of a multiscale scaffold based on high-resolution 3D printing; and 3) implantation of this bionic scaffold loading Schwann cell progenitors.

Summary: Implantation of multiscale scaffolds preloaded with neural crest stem cell derived Schwann cell progenitors is the best strategy to promote peripheral nerve regeneration with improved anatomy and function among the three different strategies.

Mule SN, Manchola NC, de Oliveira GS, Pereira M, Magalhães RDM, Teixeira AA, Colli W, Alves MJM, Palmisano G (2021) Proteome-wide modulation of S-nitrosylation in Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes upon interaction with the host extracellular matrix. J Proteomics 231:104020. doi: 10.1016/j.jprot.2020.104020 PMID: 33096306

Objective: To map site-specific S-nitrosylated (SNO) proteins from Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes incubated (MTy) or not (Ty) with extracellular matrix (ECM).

Summary: The results provide the first site-specific characterization of S-nitrosylated proteins in T. cruzi and their modulation upon ECM incubation before infection of the mammalian hosts. The reduction of S-nitrosylation upon incubation with ECM, associated with a rewiring of the subcellular distribution and intracellular signaling pathways, was confirmed.
