Thioredoxin-interacting protein deficiency protects against severe acute pancreatitis by suppressing apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1

49 views | Jul 28 2023

TXNIP, a protein involved in redox reactions and inflammatory responses, plays a significant role in acute pancreatitis by regulating the activation of JNK/p38 pathways and influencing oxidative stress, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for protecting against severe acute pancreatitis.

Selonsertib, a potential drug for liver failure therapy by rescuing the mitochondrial dysfunction of macrophage via ASK1-JNK-DRP1 pathway

513 views | Feb 22 2021

Guohua Lou et al. thought that selonsertib protected against LPS/GalN-induced ALF by attenuating JNK-mediated DRP1 mitochondrial translocation and then rescuing mitochondrial damage in macrophages and might have therapeutic potential for early ALF patients. [Read the Full Post]
