    Abstract Background/aim: Early detection and treatment are crucial in combating malignant melanoma. Src is an important therapeutic target in melanoma due to its association with cancer progression. However, developing effective Src-targeting drugs remains challenging and personalized medicine relies on biomarkers and targeted therapies for precise and effective treatment. This study focuses on Si162, a newly synthesized c-Src inhibitor, to identify reliable biomarkers for predicting Si162 sensitivity and explore associated biological characteristics and pathways in melanoma cells.
    Materials and methods: Primary melanoma cells (M1, M21, M24, M84, M133, M307, and M2025) were obtained from patients diagnosed with melanoma. Si162 cytotoxicity tests were performed using luminescent adenosine triphosphate detection and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC
    Results: The cells revealed significant differences in response to Si162 based on the IC
    Conclusion: These findings contribute to our understanding of the underlying biological differences among melanoma cells and suggest potential biomarkers and pathways associated with Si162 response and resistance.

    Abstract Purpose/aim of the study: The ultimate goal of periodontal treatment is to regenerate the lost periodontal tissues. The interest in nanomaterials in dentistry is growing rapidly and has focused on improvements in various biomedical applications, such as periodontal regeneration and periodontal tissue engineering. To enhance periodontal tissue regeneration, hydroxyapatite (HA) was used in conjunction with other scaffold materials, such as Poly lactic-co-glycolic-acid (PLGA) and collagen (C). The main target of this study was to compare the effects of nano and macrostructures of the tissue scaffolds on cell behavior
    Materials and methods: Nanofibrillar and macroporous-spongious composite tissue scaffolds were produced using PLGA/C/HA. Subgroups with BMP-2 signal molecule and without HA were also created. The scaffolds were characterized by FTIR, SEM/EDX techniques, and mechanical tests. The scaffolds were compared in the periodontal ligament (PDL) and MCT3-E1 cell cultures. The cell behaviors; adhesions by SEM, proliferation by WST-1, differentiation by ALP and mineralization with Alizarin Red Tests were determined.
    Results: Cell adhesion and mineralization were higher in the nanofibrillar scaffolds compared to the macroporous-spongious scaffolds. Macroporous-spongious scaffolds seemed better for the proliferation of PDL cells and differentiation of MC3T3-E1-preosteoblastic cells, while nanofibrillar scaffolds were more convenient for the differentiation of PDL cells and proliferation of MC3T3-E1-preosteoblastic cells.
    Conclusions: In general, nanofibrillar scaffolds showed more favorable results in cell behaviors, compared to the macroporous-spongious scaffolds, and mostly, BMP-2 and HA promoted the activities of the cells.

    Abstract Neuronal development and function are dependent in part on the several roles of the secreted glycoprotein Reelin. Endogenous proteases process this 400 kDa, modular protein, yielding N-terminal, central, and C-terminal fragments that each have distinct roles in Reelin's function and regulation. The C-terminal fragment comprises Reelin repeat (RR) domains seven and eight, as well as a basic stretch of 32 amino acid residues termed the C-terminal region (CTR), influences Reelin signaling intensity, and has been reported to bind to Neuropilin-1, which serves as a co-receptor in the canonical Reelin signaling pathway. Here, we present a crystal structure of RR8 at 3.0 Å resolution. Analytical ultracentrifugation and small-angle x-ray scattering confirmed that RR8 is monomeric and enabled us to identify the CTR as a flexible, yet compact subdomain. We conducted structurally informed protein engineering to design a chimeric RR8 construct guided by the structural similarities with RR6. Experimental results support a mode of Reelin-receptor interaction reliant on the multiple interfaces coordinating the binding event. Structurally, RR8 resembles other individual RRs, but its structure does show discrete differences that may account for Reelin receptor specificity toward RR6.

    Abstract Multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a new potentially life-threatening disease that is related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The aim of this study is to reveal the clinical and laboratory results of MIS-C and the role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in its treatment. Clinical, laboratory and radiological characteristics of the patients who were admitted to the pediatric ward and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of a tertiary hospital with a diagnosis of MIS-C between April 2020 and March 2021 were included in the study. Forty-one patients were admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of MIS-C. Twenty-one (51.2%) patients were admitted to the PICU. Six patients needed invasive mechanical ventilation (14.6%), 10 patients (24.4%) TPE and 3 patients (7.3%) needed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The patients were grouped according to need for PICU admission (Group 1: no need for PICU, Group 2: need for PICU admission). Group 2 had significantly higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), ferritin, D-dimer, pro-B type natriuretic peptide (pro BNP) and lactate (

    Abstract Papain-like cysteine proteases are composed of 11 human cysteine cathepsins, originally located in the lysosomes. They exhibit broad specificity and act as endopeptidases and/or exopeptidases. Among them, only cathepsins B, H, C, and X/Z exhibit exopeptidase activity. Recently, cysteine cathepsins have been found to be present outside the lysosomes and often participate in various pathological processes. Hence, they have been considered key signalling molecules. Their potentially hazardous proteolytic activities are tightly regulated. This review aims to discuss recent advances in understanding the structural aspects of these four cathepsins, mechanisms of their zymogen activation, regulation of their activities, and functional aspects of these enzymes in neurodegeneration and cancer. Neurodegenerative effects have been evaluated, particularly in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and neuropsychiatric disorders. Cysteine cathepsins also participate in tumour progression and metastasis through the overexpression and secretion of proteases, which trigger extracellular matrix degradation. To our knowledge, this is the first review to provide an in-depth analysis regarding the roles of cysteine cathepsins B, H, C, and X in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Further advances in understanding the functions of cysteine cathepsins in these conditions will result in the development of novel, targeted therapeutic strategies.
