GW4064 is a small molecule known to be an agonist of the nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR). We found that GW4064 inhibits the NLR family CARD domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation in an FXR‐independent manner as evidenced by its similar inhibitory effect on NLRP3 inflammasome activation in FXR‐deficient macrophages. Interestingly, GW4064 decreases the nigericin‐induced oligomerization...
Reciprocal interactions between the metabolic system and immune cells play pivotal roles in diverse inflammatory diseases, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The activation of bile acid-mediated signaling has been linked to improvement in metabolic syndromes and enhanced control of inflammation. Here, we demonstrated that bile acids inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation via the TGR5-cAMP-PKA...
Scorpion toxins are valuable resources for discovering new ion channel modulators and drug candidates. Potassium channel Kv1.3 is an important pharmacological target of T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases, which are encouraging the screening and design of the specific peptide blockers for Kv1.3 channel. Ctri9577, the first neurotoxin gene of Chaerilidae family was cloned from the venom of the scorpion...
Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) has been widely used for scaffolding materials in tissue engineering. It degrades mainly via hydrolysis of the ester bonds into lactic acid and glycolic acid leading to the decrease in pH of the surrounding microenvironment. The current study was designed to quickly neutralize the acidic degradation products of PLGA fibrous scaffolds by incorporating tripolyphosphate...
