Nanomaterials, characterized by unique physicochemical properties at the nanoscale, enhance biological interactions, facilitating accelerated healing, and targeted drug delivery. We discuss various applications of nanomaterials, from their intrinsic antimicrobial capabilities—exemplified by silver nanoparticles—to their role in promoting cell proliferation and migration critical for effective tissue repair. Furthermore, we highlight their capacity for controlled drug release and improved oxygen supply, both vital for optimal wound healing. This comprehensive review delineates the steps required for integrating nanomaterials into clinical practice, stressing the importance of thorough research, formulation, regulatory approval, and personalized treatment strategies.

CtBP dimerization and formation of the CtBP corepressor complex require NADH. Under a normal NADH/NAD+ ratio, CtBP is in the dimeric form while, when NADH/NAD+ decreases, it converts into a monomeric form. The monomeric form of CtBP inhibits histone acetyltransferase p300, which plays an important role in the packaging of newly replicated and repaired DNA into chromatin by acetylating the histone H3 core domain lysine 56 (H3K56). Further, by inhibiting p300, the monomeric form of CtBP inhibits NFκB, which plays an important role in the innate immune response toward neoantigens. Furthermore, NFκB causes the transcription of IL-6, which is important in the resolution of the innate immune response. Moreover, by inhibiting p300, the monomeric CtBP inhibits p53, the guardian of the genome. Thus, by inhibiting p300, the monomeric form of CtBP may be involved in carcinogenesis when NADH/NAD+ ratio decreases. In contrast, hypoxia increases the NADH/NAD+ ratio, generating the dimeric form of CtBP and relieving the inhibition of p300 by the monomeric CtBP. The higher NADH/NAD+ ratio and p300 activity under hypoxia mask the instability of cancer cells, confer invasive properties, cause COX-2 expression, increase the transactivation activity of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), and cause drug resistance through NFκB. Thus, p300, regulated by NADH/NAD+ ratio through CtBP, works as a double-edged sword in cancer initiation and progression, respectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34427,"journal":{"name":"Endocrine and Metabolic Science","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143156529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
