- Potassium intake is strongly associated with cardiometabolic health, yet the mechanisms linking electrolyte balance to systemic metabolism remain poorly defined. We hypothesized that renal epithelial AKT acts as a potassium-responsive signaling node that coordinates potassium homeostasis and metabolic adaptation. - Source: PubMed

Chronic inflammation and metabolic dysregulation may promote skeletal muscle wasting through catabolic signaling activation, though underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study investigated molecular pathways associated with sarcopenia in CP. - Source: PubMed

Lohani NeelamQamar SumairaVerma DeepikaGopi SrikanthSingh NidhiGunjan DeepakSharma Meher ChandaKanga UmaChauhan S SSingh NamrataDash N RPal SujoyKhan Imteyaz AhmadAgarwal SamagraSaraya Anoop - The oil extracted from the mesocarp of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis, Jacq.) drupes is the world's leading source of vegetable oil. Oil palm cultivation requires large amounts of mineral nutrients supplied through fertilization, representing a major production cost. Among essential nutrients, potassium (K⁺) plays a critical role in plant growth and fruit development. However, the mechanisms underlying K⁺ transport and its relationship with yield remain poorly understood. Here, we identified and characterized EgKT2-1, a Shaker-like potassium channel belonging to the AKT2-like subfamily. Quantitative PCR analyses showed that EgKT2-1 is expressed in leaves, meristem, and during early fruit development, with higher transcript abundance during early fruit development coinciding with increased K⁺ accumulation. In situ hybridization localized EgKT2-1 transcripts to the root cortex and phloem tissues, leaf palisade parenchyma, and mesocarp cells during early fruit development. These expression patterns are consistent with a potential contribution of EgKT2-1 to K⁺ transport and allocation between source and sink tissues. Although sequence similarity places EgKT2-1 within the weakly rectifying AKT2-like subfamily, electrophysiological characterization in Xenopus laevis oocytes revealed inwardly rectifying channel activity, suggesting a potential role in K⁺ uptake. EgKT2-1 expression was higher in an oil palm progeny C3 which exhibited greater K⁺ allocation to aerial organs and greater oil yield. Together, these findings identify EgKT2-1 as an inwardly rectifying K⁺ channel potentially involved in K⁺ transport and redistribution during oil palm development and suggest a correlation between EgKT2-1 expression, K⁺ allocation, and oil yield variation. - Source: PubMed

Monder HousseinEspeout SandraZimmermann Sabine DBillotte NorbertVerdeil Jean-LucBocs StéphanieOllivier JeanImpens ReinoutJacob FlorenceGaillard IsabelleCuéllar Teresa - Akt is a central serine/threonine kinase in the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway that regulates cell survival, growth, and metabolic homeostasis. Although Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3 share high sequence homology, they perform distinct physiological and pathological functions, motivating the development of small-molecule isoform-selective chemical probes. Here, we first applied a molecular hybridization strategy to combine structural features that lead to Akt3-selectivity with the covalent pharmacophore of established covalent-allosteric Akt inhibitors, enabling selective and covalent targeting of Akt3. We then expanded the chemical space of covalent-allosteric Akt inhibitors to investigate how subtle structural differences influence selectivity across all three isoforms. Guided by structure-activity relationships and high-resolution co-crystal structures, systematic modifications of substituent patterns, linker geometry, and scaffold architecture revealed distinct isoform-selectivity profiles. Biochemical target inhibition, cellular target engagement, and covalent-binding studies further characterized these compounds and their selectivity. Collectively, these findings expand the covalent-allosteric Akt inhibitor toolbox, provide insight into the structural determinants governing Akt isoform selectivity, and establish molecular hybridization as a strategy for selective covalent targeting of Akt3. - Source: PubMed

Pervanidis Kosmas AlexandrosD'Angelo Giovanni DaniloAthanasiadis IoannisJantzen HannahScrima AndreaSchäfer KatharinaQuambusch LenaMüller Matthias PRauh Daniel - Oliv. cv. Chaxiong (Chaxiong) has traditionally been used as a medicinal tea for headache relief in southern China, but its bioactive basis and mechanisms remain unclear. This study integrated ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS), untargeted metabolomics, network pharmacology, molecular docking, reverse-transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and Western blotting in a nitroglycerin-induced migraine-like rat model. Chaxiong extract alleviated migraine-like behavior, reduced calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), nitric oxide (NO), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), increased 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and ameliorated brain histopathological alterations. A total of 48 constituents and 13 differential serum metabolites were annotated or putatively annotated, respectively. Glycerophospholipid metabolism was the principal metabolic pathway affected by treatment, whereas network pharmacology prioritized phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) signaling. Pathway integration identified PIK3CA, PIK3CB, AKT1, AKT2, and INS as candidate bridging targets. Exploratory docking suggested potential interactions between five representative constituents and PIK3CA/AKT1. RT-qPCR showed reduced and mRNA expression, while Western blotting showed decreased p-PI3K p85α (Tyr607)/PI3K p85α and p-AKT (Ser473)/AKT1 ratios following treatment. These findings suggest that Chaxiong-associated alleviation of migraine-like responses was accompanied by altered glycerophospholipid metabolism and reduced PI3K/AKT pathway activation. - Source: PubMed
