Evolution of human genes encoding cell surface receptors involved in the regulation of appetite: an analysis based on the phylostratigraphic age and divergence indexes by E. V. Ignatieva, S. A. Lashin, Z. S. Mustafin, N. A. Kolchanov

“…The values of PAI and DI were analyzed for 64 human genes encoding cell surface receptors, the orthologs of which were involved in the regulation of appetite in model animal species. It turned out that the set of genes under consideration contains an increased number of genes with the same phylostratigraphic age (PAI = 5, the stage of vertebrate divergence), and almost all of these genes (28 out  of 31) belong to the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors. …”

“…From February 2016 to December 2018, the incidence of rectal carriage of Qs-FQs resistant Enterobacterales detected from rectal swabs of patients before undergoing (TRUS-BP) was 61.06% (80/131) all related to E. coli species. Based on the MICs range of Qs (24–256 mg/L) and FQs (0.24–128 mg/L) breakpoint by EUCAST, we categorized these E. coli isolates into three resistance profiles (I, II, and III) associated with the patterns of chromosomal mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of gyrA and parC and the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance encoding genes (PMQRs) detected by PCR-based assay and sequencing; MICs increase in an escalation step according to the co-occurrence of multiple molecular mechanisms. …”

Blockade of TIPE2-Mediated Ferroptosis of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells Achieves the Full Potential of Combinatory Ferroptosis and Anti-PD-L1 Cancer Immunotherapy by Hafiza Kashaf Tariq, Zihao Liang, Lawan Rabiu, Abdulrahman Ibrahim, Nada Mohamady Farouk Abdalsalam, Rong Li, Qiong Yang, Xiaochun Wan, Dehong Yan

“…Here, we report that TIPE2, a phospholipid transfer protein, regulated the ferroptosis susceptibility in MDSCs through reprogramming lipid peroxidation-related phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) species composition. TIPE2-deficient MDSCs resisted IKE-induced ferroptosis by up-regulating SLC7A11 and GPX4, and dissolved ferroptosis-induced immunosuppressive function by down-regulating lipid ROS whilst encouraging T cell proliferation and infiltration into tumor tissues to improve ferroptosis therapy. …”
