Enzyme-responsive peptide thioesters for targeting Golgi apparatus

…, MC Quiñones-Frías, AY Hsu, Y Zhang… - Journal of the …, 2022 - ACS Publications
The Golgi apparatus (GA) is the hub of intracellular trafficking, but selectively targeting GA
remains a challenge. We show an unconventional types of peptide thioesters, consisting of an …

miRNA-223 at the crossroads of inflammation and cancer

J Jeffries, W Zhou, AY Hsu, Q Deng - Cancer letters, 2019 - Elsevier
miR-223 is an evolutionarily conserved anti-inflammatory microRNA primarily expressed in
myeloid cells. miR-223 post-transcriptionally regulates many genes essential in inflammation…

Palmitoylation of gasdermin D directs its membrane translocation and pore formation in pyroptosis

A Balasubramanian, L Ghimire, AY Hsu, H Kambara… - BioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated macrophage pyroptosis plays a critical role in inflammation
and host defense. Plasma membrane perforation elicited by caspase-cleaved GSDMD N-…

Chemically-defined generation of human hemogenic endothelium and definitive hematopoietic progenitor cells

…, BD Elzey, AY Hsu, LN Randolph, Y Sun… - Biomaterials, 2022 - Elsevier
Human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which arise from aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM),
are widely used to treat blood diseases and cancers. However, a technique for their robust …

Phenotypical microRNA screen reveals a noncanonical role of CDK2 in regulating neutrophil migration

AY Hsu, D Wang, S Liu, J Lu… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Neutrophil migration is essential for inflammatory responses to kill pathogens; however,
excessive neutrophilic inflammation also leads to tissue injury and adverse effects. To discover …

[HTML][HTML] Heterogeneity of neutrophils in cancer: one size does not fit all

…, C Xu, J Li, J Zha, F Ma, HR Luo, AY Hsu - Cancer Biology & …, 2022 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Neutrophils play an essential role in the defense against bacterial infections and orchestrate
both the innate and adaptive immune responses. With their abundant numbers, diverse …

NLRP3 is essential for neutrophil polarization and chemotaxis in response to leukotriene B4 gradient

…, CE Sheehy, CMS Silva, AY Hsu… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Neutrophil recruitment to sites of infection and inflammation is an essential process in the
early innate immune response. Upon activation, a subset of neutrophils rapidly assembles the …

The palmitoylation of gasdermin D directs its membrane translocation and pore formation during pyroptosis

A Balasubramanian, AY Hsu, L Ghimire, M Tahir… - Science …, 2024 - science.org
Plasma membrane perforation elicited by caspase cleavage of the gasdermin D (GSDMD) N-terminal
domain (GSDMD-NT) triggers pyroptosis. The mechanisms underlying GSDMD …

Overexpression of microRNA-722 fine-tunes neutrophilic inflammation by inhibiting Rac2 in zebrafish

AY Hsu, D Wang, T Gurol, W Zhou… - Disease models & …, 2017 - journals.biologists.com
Neutrophilic inflammation is essential for defending against invading pathogens, but can
also be detrimental in many clinical settings. The hematopoietic-specific small Rho-GTPase …
