Article Title: Metabolic pathways and chemotherapy resistance in acute myeloid leukemia (AML): Insights into Enoyl-CoA hydratase domain-containing protein 3 ( ECHDC3 ) as a potential therapeutic target

doi: 10.1016/j.cpt.2025.08.002

Figure Lengend Snippet: Changes in mitochondrial function following ECHDC3 knockdown. (A) TMRE staining results based on ECHDC3 -knockdown cells. siNC cells emitted bright red-orange fluorescence. Cells treated with a mitochondrial membrane-potential disrupter, CCCP, showed very weak or complete absence of red-orange fluorescence. The average fluorescence intensity of the cells was calculated and quantitatively analyzed. (B–C) mtDNA copy number ( MT–CO1 and MT–CO2 ) was quantified via quantitative RT-PCR; (D) Quantitation of mitochondrial SOD activity, wherein SOD activity decreased in ECHDC3 -knockdown cells. (E) Mitophagy biomarkers were detected via western blotting. β-Actin was used as a control. (F–I) Quantitation of the mitophagy pathway protein. Values were presented as mean ± standard error. ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. CCCP: Carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone; ECHDC3 : Enoyl-CoA hydratase domain-containing protein 3; mtDNA: Mitochondrial DNA; RT-PCR: Real-time polymerase chain reaction; SOD: Superoxide dismutase; TMRE: Tetramethyl rhodamine ethyl ester.

Article Snippet: Western blotting was performed to determine the expression of mitochondrial proteins, using the Mitophagy Antibody Sampler Kit (Cat# 43110, Cell Signaling Technology [CST], MA, USA) and an anti-β-actin mouse monoclonal antibody (Cat# 3700, CST, MA, USA).

Article Title: HPV18E6 and CDK5 virus-host interaction is a prospective therapeutic target for HPV-positive cervical cancer

doi: 10.1016/j.tvr.2026.200339

Figure Lengend Snippet: CP681301 inhibits CDK5 and 18E6 in HeLa cell line, and disrupted the CDK5-HPV18E6 association directly. (A) (i). CP681301 disrupted the CDK5-18E6 protein complex. The inhibition of CP681301 was detected using the GST-pull down assay, where CP681301 was incubated with the purified GST-18E6 protein and CDK5 protein for 2h. After extensive washing, the bound CDK5 protein was detected via Western blotting using an anti-CDK5 antibody. The immunoblot (IB) on the upper panel shows the interaction of CDK5 with GST-18E6, while the lower panel shows the Ponceau S stained of the blot. (ii). The bar graph shows the quantification of the relative level of CDK5 to GST-18E6 protein indicated from 3 independent experiments (n = 3). Quantitation was performed using ImageJ software, and the statistical analysis was performed using Prism. (B). The summarisation of the CP681301 binding affinity value with 16E6, 18E6 and CDK5. (C) (i). The immunoblot shows the protein levels of HPV18E6 and CDK5 at different concentrations of CP681301. HeLa cells were treated with different concentrations of CP681301 (0.2 to 3.2 μM) or DMSO as indicated. Total cell lysates were subjected to western blotting with anti-CDK5, anti-18E6, and anti-β-actin antibodies. (ii). The EC50 of 18E6 in the treatment of CP681301. (iii). The EC 50 of CDK5 in the treatment of CP681301. The percentage of CDK5 and 18E6 protein levels was analyzed using the nonl i near regression function in GraphPad Prism 8.
