GW4064, FXR Signaling, and NiONP-Induced Fibrosis
2026-09-10
The reference study identifies hsa_circ_0001944 as a regulatory node connecting FXR, TLR4, ferroptosis, and collagen deposition in nickel oxide nanoparticle-exposed hepatic stellate cells. Its use of GW4064 alongside pathway inhibitors, a ferroptosis inducer, and circRNA overexpression provides pharmacological and molecular evidence that FXR activation may restrain toxicant-associated fibrogenic responses.

MK-571: Linking Leukotriene Signaling to Drug Resistance
2026-09-08
MK-571 (L-660,711) is best understood not only as a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist, but also as a strategic probe for separating airway inflammation from transporter and redox biology. This article connects its established cysLT1 pharmacology with recent macrophage findings involving system Xc−, glutathione, and ABCC1, while outlining validation strategies that reduce interpretive ambiguity in translational studies.

NHE1, Olfr2, and Calcium-Driven Atherosclerosis
2026-09-07
This Scientific Reports study identifies macrophage NHE1 as a downstream effector of octanal–Olfr2 signaling in atherosclerosis, linking calcium-dependent oxidative stress with NLRP3-associated inflammation. By combining ApoE−/− mice, RAW264.7 macrophages, pharmacological inhibition, RNA interference, and calcium chelation, the work strengthens a mechanistic model in which NHE1 contributes to plaque formation and inflammatory activation.
