ROS‐Driven Nanoventilator for MRSA‐Induced Acute Lung Injury Treatment via In Situ Oxygen Supply, Anti‐Inflammation and Immunomodulation by Zheng Luo, Qi Wang, Xiaotong Fan, Xue Qi Koh, Xian Jun Loh, Caisheng Wu, Zibiao Li, Yun‐Long Wu

“…This nanocapsule can effectively improve the stability and loading rate of enzymes, and enhance their enzyme cascade efficiency, thereby efficiently consuming •O2− and H2O2 to generate O2 in situ and reducing ROS level. More interestingly, in situ O2 supply can effectively relieve lung hypoxia to reduce HIF‐1α expression and balance the number of M1/M2 macrophages to reduce the levels of TNF‐α, IL‐1β and IL‐6, thereby alleviating the inflammatory response. …”

Modulating the serine metabolism in human differentiated astrocytes: an integrated multi omics approach by Farida Tripodi, Elisa Maffioli, Silvia Sacchi, Valentina Rabattoni, Zoraide Motta, Claudia Bearzi, Gabriella Tedeschi, Gabriella Tedeschi, Loredano Pollegioni, Paola Coccetti

“…IntroductionAstrocytes are the major source of L-serine (L-Ser) in the brain: the glycolytic intermediate D-3-phosphoglycerate is converted into L-Ser through the phosphorylated pathway (PP) made up of three enzymes, phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT) and phosphoserine phosphatase (PSP), recently proposed to generate a metabolic assembly named serinosome. In the central nervous system, L-Ser is used for a number of functions, including the synthesis of glycine (Gly) and D-serine (D-Ser), the two key NMDAR co-agonists.MethodsHere, we used iPSC-derived human astrocytes as a cellular model to evaluate the impact on cell metabolism of the overexpression of each of the three enzymes of the PP as GFP-tagged proteins.ResultsThe subcellular cytosolic localization of PP enzymes remains unchanged compared to endogenous proteins, while the complex formation is increased in all cases. …”
