2 results about "Protein kinase A" patented technology

The compounds and methods of the present disclosure exhibit induce Ucp1 transcription, enhance of mitochondrial respiration, activate protein kinase A, increase lipolysis, and increase p38 MAPK phosphorylation in cells, particularly brown adipocytes and white adipocytes. They also protect primary cardiomyocytes against hypertrophy induced by adrenergic agonists. Such compounds and methods are useful in the treatment and prevention of conditions such as obesity and associated complex metabolic, endocrine, and hemodynamic changes, as well as related conditions as dyslipidemias, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes.

This invention discloses a logic-responsive biomolecule carrier based on a phase separation system, its construction method, and its applications. The carrier is based on the attraction between cationic peptides with different logic responses and negatively charged biomolecules such as DNA or RNA, driving liquid-liquid phase separation and forming droplet-like particle structures. The carrier of this invention can selectively use protein kinase A (PKA) to phosphorylate peptides and use matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) or glutathione (GSH) to cleave the peptide chain, thereby changing the charge density of the peptide to control the controlled release of biomolecules. It exhibits excellent biocompatibility, resistance to enzymatic degradation, and transfection efficiency, enabling effective delivery of biomolecules.
