Resistin alleviates lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in bovine alveolar macrophages by activating the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway and autophagy.

Objective: Resistin (RETN) is an adipocyte-specific hormone that participates in metabolism and modulates cellular inflammation. Our study aimed to assess the effects of RETN treatment on autophagy and the underlying molecular and biological mechanisms in bovine alveolar macrophages (BAMs). Methods: The optimal concentration of RETN + lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on macrophages was screened and then used to co-culture with alveolar macrophages. Autophagosomes in BAMs were examined using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3) and p62. Western blot (WB) was used to detect the protein expressions of LC3 and p62. The distribution of LC3 and p62 proteins in the cells was observed by immunofluorescence (IF). The concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The protein expression of adenosine-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), p-AMPK, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and p-mTOR was detected using WB. Results: The treatment of BAMs with RETN or LPS increased the number of autophagosomes and the ratio of LC3II/LC3I and decreased the expression level of p62 protein. RETN treatment significantly triggered autophagy compared to LPS treatment. Moreover, the ratios of p-AMPK/AMPK and p-mTOR/mTOR were upregulated and downregulated, respectively, after RETN treatment, suggesting that AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway activation is required for RETN-mediated autophagy in BAMs. Additionally, the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I was lower, and the concentrations of IL-1ß, IL-6, and TNF-α significantly decreased in the LPS and RETN co-treatment groups compared to the single LPS treatment group. However, both autophagy- and LPS-induced inflammation were partially alleviated by RETN treatment. Conclusion: RETN can promote autophagy in BAMs by activating the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway, it may help prevent LPS-induced inflammation.

Microneedle Transdermal Delivery of Compound Betamethasone in Alopecia Areata - A Randomized Controlled Trial.

BACKGROUND: Alopecia areata (AA) places a considerable burden on patients. While intralesional glucocorticoid injection is an important therapy, it can cause severe pain. OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and pain levels of microneedle transdermal delivery of compound betamethasone versus traditional intralesional injection in mild-to-moderate AA. METHODS: We conducted a randomized controlled trial in AA patients with a SALT score < 50. Both groups received monthly compound betamethasone injections: Group A via intralesional injections, and Group B via transdermal microneedle delivery. The primary outcome was the reduction in SALT score after three months. RESULTS: With 80 patients enrolled, baseline SALT scores were similar between group A (9.250±5.300) and group B (10.65±9.445). After 3 months, the mean SALT reduction was 7.000±4.5017 in group A and 8.075±8.014 in group B, with no statistical difference. Remission rates for SALT30/50/75/90 were 92.50/90.00/57.50/42.50% in group A and 95.00/87.50/72.50/40% in group B, with no significant difference. Group B had a significantly lower Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain score than group A (4.000±1.174 vs. 5.281±2.098, p=0.0047). LIMITATIONS: The study focused on mild-to-moderate patchy AA, limiting insights into severe cases. CONCLUSION: Microneedle transdermal delivery of compound betamethasone in mild-to-moderate patchy AA demonstrates efficacy comparable to traditional intralesional injection, with reduced pain.

Potential causal and temporal relationship between plasma triglyceride levels and circulating leukocyte.

BACKGROUND: Circulating triglyceride (TG) and leukocytes, the main components of the vascular system, may impact each other and co-fuel atherosclerosis. While the causal relationship between plasma TG levels and leukocyte counts remains unclear. METHODS: Bidirectional mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis was conducted to investigate the potential causal relationship between TG levels and the counts of leukocytes and their subtypes. A cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) using a longitudinal healthy screening data (13,389 adults with an follow-up of 4 years) was fitted to examine the temporal relationship between them. RESULTS: Genetically predicted plasma TG levels were positively associated with total leukocyte counts (TLC) [ß(se)=0.195(0.01)], lymphocyte counts (LC) [ß(se)=0.196(0.019)], and neutrophill counts (NC) [ß(se)=0.086(0.01)], which remained significant after adjusting for several confounders. Inversely, the genetically predicted TLC [ß(se)=0.033(0.008)], LC [ß(se)=0.053(0.008)], and NC [ß(se)=0.034(0.008)] were positively associated with plasma TG levels. However, when all three of them were put into the MR model adjusted for each other, only LC was significantly associated with TG levels. There was no association between genetically predicted TG levels and monocyte counts (MC), basophil counts, and eosinophill counts. The results of CLPM showed that the temporal effect of elevated TLC, MC, LC, and NC on plasma TG levels were stronger than the inverse effect. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggesting a causal associations of plasma TG levels with TLC, LC, and NC. In turn, LC was positively associated with plasma TG levels. Additionally, elevated circulating LC may precede high plasma TG levels.

Nevertheless, its limited water solubility, low bioavailability, and potential hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity making it difficult to directly become a medicine, thereby imposing significant constraints on its clinical application. In recent decades, extensive researches have been proceeded on the multifaceted structural modifications of rhein, resulting in notable improvements on pharmacological activities and druggabilities. This review offers a comprehensive overview and advanced update on the biological potential and structural-activity relationships (SARs) of various rhein derivatives, delineating the sites of structural modification and corresponding activity trends of rhein derivatives for future.

A novel antidepressant homogeneous polysaccharide YLP-1 from Millettia pulchra ameliorates tryptophan metabolism and SCFAs through modulating gut microbiota.

The root of Millettia pulchra (YLS) has been traditionally used as a folk medicine for the treatment of depression and insomnia in the Zhuang nationality of China, and its polysaccharides have potential antidepressant effect. In this study, a novel homogeneous polysaccharide (YLP-1) was purified from the crude polysaccharides of YLS, and it is mainly composed of glucose, arabinose and mannose with molar ratio of 87.25%, 10.77%, and 1.98%, respectively. YLP-1 is a novel α-glucan with the backbone of 1,4-Glcp and branched at C6 of 1,4,6-Glcp to combine 1,4-Manp and 1,5-Araf. The microstructure of YLP-1 displayed a uniform ellipsoidal-like chain morphology and dispersed uniformly in solution. YLP-1 effectively ameliorated depression-like ethological behaviors and restored the decreased catecholamine levels in chronic variable stress (CVS)-induced depression rats. Additionally, it significantly improved the disturbance of gut microbiota induced by CVS stimuli, particularly affecting bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as bacteria species Lactobacillus spp.. In vitro fermentation study further confirmed that YLP-1 intake could promote SCFAs production by Lactobacillus spp. YLP-1 also mitigated the disruption of tryptophan metabolites in urine and serum. These findings provide evidences for the further development of YLP-1 as a macromolecular antidepressant drug.

The gut microbiome modulate response to immunotherapy in cancer.

Gut microbiota have been reported to play an important role in the occurrence and development of malignant tumors. Currently, clinical studies have identified specific gut microbiota and its metabolites associated with efficacy of immunotherapy in multiple types of cancers. Preclinical investigations have elucidated that gut microbiota modulate the antitumor immunity and affect the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. Certain microbiota and its metabolites may favorably remodel the tumor microenvironment by engaging innate and/or adaptive immune cells. Understanding how the gut microbiome interacts with cancer immunotherapy opens new avenues for improving treatment strategies. Fecal microbial transplants, probiotics, dietary interventions, and other strategies targeting the microbiota have shown promise in preclinical studies to enhance the immunotherapy. Ongoing clinical trials are evaluating these approaches. This review presents the recent advancements in understanding the dynamic interplay among the host immunity, the microbiome, and cancer immunotherapy, as well as strategies for modulating the microbiome, with a view to translating into clinical applications.

The interplay between BDNF and PGC-1 alpha in maintaining brain health: role of exercise.

Throughout our evolutionary history, physical activity has played a significant role in shaping our physiology. Advances in exercise science have further reinforced this concept by highlighting how exercise can change gene expression and molecular signaling to achieve various beneficial outcomes. Several studies have shown that exercise can alter neuronal functions to prevent neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. However, individual genotypes, phenotypes, and varying exercise protocols hinder the prescription of exercise as standard therapy. Moreover, exercise-induced molecular signaling targets can be double-edged swords, making it difficult to use exercise as the primary candidate for beneficial effects. For example, activating PGC-1 alpha and BDNF through exercise could produce several benefits in maintaining brain health, such as plasticity, neuronal survival, memory formation, cognition, and synaptic transmission. However, higher expression of BDNF might play a negative role in bipolar disorder. Therefore, further understanding of a specific mechanistic approach is required. This review focuses on how exercise-induced activation of these molecules could support brain health and discusses the potential underlying mechanisms of the effect of exercise-induced PGC-1 alpha and BDNF on brain health.

Activation of parkin by a molecular glue.

Mutations in parkin and PINK1 cause early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD). The ubiquitin ligase parkin is recruited to damaged mitochondria and activated by PINK1, a kinase that phosphorylates ubiquitin and the ubiquitin-like domain of parkin. Activated phospho-parkin then ubiquitinates mitochondrial proteins to target the damaged organelle for degradation. Here, we present the mechanism of activation of a new class of small molecule allosteric modulators that enhance parkin activity. The compounds act as molecular glues to enhance the ability of phospho-ubiquitin (pUb) to activate parkin. Ubiquitination assays and isothermal titration calorimetry with the most active compound (BIO-2007817) identify the mechanism of action. We present the crystal structure of a closely related compound (BIO-1975900) bound to a complex of parkin and two pUb molecules. The compound binds next to pUb on RING0 and contacts both proteins. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) experiments confirm that activation occurs through release of the catalytic Rcat domain. In organello and mitophagy assays demonstrate that BIO-2007817 partially rescues the activity of parkin EOPD mutants, R42P and V56E, offering a basis for the design of activators as therapeutics for Parkinson's disease.

Research on origin-based cold storage location and routing optimization of fresh agricultural products based on hybrid whale algorithm.

With the focus on the insufficient origin-based cold storage in China, this study investigates the location and routing problem (LRP) of origin-based cold storage for fresh agricultural products. This study considers the loss of fresh agricultural products in different environments during transportation and presents a cold storage LRP model. To address this issue, a hybrid whale algorithm with heuristic rules is designed, and the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by standard instances. Finally, taking Chenggu County as a practical case, the influence of cold storage capacity and farmers' demand for refrigeration are analysed. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a good effect in solving medium-scale LRP. As the storage capacity increases, the total cost of the system can be increased by 0.086%. As farmers' demand for refrigeration increases, the total cost of the system can be increased by 34.034%. Farmers' demand has a greater impact on the system's total costs than the cold storage capacity. When optimizing the cold storage layout, changes in fresh agricultural product output in the next few years can be roughly predicted, and the most economical optimization scheme can be obtained.

BaP/BPDE suppresses homologous recombination repair in human trophoblast cells to induce miscarriage: The roles of lnc-HZ08.

Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) or benzo (a) pyrene 7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE) exposure causes trophoblast cell dysfunctions and induces miscarriage, which is generally epigenetically regulated. Homologous recombination (HR) repair of DNA double strand break (DSB) plays a crucial role in maintenance of genetic stability and cell normal functions. However, whether BaP/BPDE might suppress HR repair in human trophoblast cells to induce miscarriage, as well as its epigenetic regulatory mechanism, is largely unclear. In this study, we find that BaP/BPDE suppresses HR repair of DSB in trophoblast cells and eventually induces miscarriage by up-regulating lnc-HZ08. In mechanism, lnc-HZ08 (1) down-regulates the expression levels of FOXA1 (forkhead box A1) and thus suppresses FOXA1-mediated mRNA transcription of BRCA1 (Breast cancer susceptibility gene 1) and CtIP (CtBP-interacting protein), (2) impairs BRCA1 and CtIP protein interactions by competitive binding with CtIP through lnc-HZ08-1 fragment, and also (3) suppresses BRCA1-mediated CtIP ubiquitination without affecting CtIP stability, three of which eventually suppress HR repair in human trophoblast cells. Supplement with murine Ctip could efficiently restore (i.e. increase) HR repair and alleviate miscarriage in BaP-exposed mouse model. Collectively, this study not only reveals the association and causality among BaP/BPDE exposure, the defective HR repair, and miscarriage, but also discovers novel mechanism in lnc-HZ08-regulated BRCA1/CtIP-mediated HR repair, bridging epigenetic regulation and genetic instability and also providing an efficient approach for treatment against BaP/BPDE-induced unexplained miscarriage.

The road to a world-unified approach to the management of patients with gastric intestinal metaplasia: a review of current guidelines.

OBJECTIVE: During the last decade, the management of gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) has been addressed by several distinct international evidence-based guidelines. In this review, we aimed to synthesise these guidelines and provide clinicians with a global perspective of the current recommendations for managing patients with GIM, as well as highlight evidence gaps that need to be addressed with future research. DESIGN: We conducted a systematic review of the literature for guidelines and consensus statements published between January 2010 and February 2023 that address the diagnosis and management of GIM. RESULTS: From 426 manuscripts identified, 16 guidelines were assessed. There was consistency across guidelines regarding the purpose of endoscopic surveillance of GIM, which is to identify prevalent neoplastic lesions and stage gastric preneoplastic conditions. The guidelines also agreed that only patients with high-risk GIM phenotypes (eg, corpus-extended GIM, OLGIM stages III/IV, incomplete GIM subtype), persistent refractory Helicobacter pylori infection or first-degree family history of gastric cancer should undergo regular-interval endoscopic surveillance. In contrast, low-risk phenotypes, which comprise most patients with GIM, do not require surveillance. Not all guidelines are aligned on histological staging systems. If surveillance is indicated, most guidelines recommend a 3-year interval, but there is some variability. All guidelines recommend H. pylori eradication as the only non-endoscopic intervention for gastric cancer prevention, while some offer additional recommendations regarding lifestyle modifications. While most guidelines allude to the importance of high-quality endoscopy for endoscopic surveillance, few detail important metrics apart from stating that a systematic gastric biopsy protocol should be followed. Notably, most guidelines comment on the role of endoscopy for gastric cancer screening and detection of gastric precancerous conditions, but with high heterogeneity, limited guidance regarding implementation, and lack of robust evidence. CONCLUSION: Despite heterogeneous populations and practices, international guidelines are generally aligned on the importance of GIM as a precancerous condition and the need for a risk-stratified approach to endoscopic surveillance, as well as H. pylori eradication when present. There is room for harmonisation of guidelines regarding (1) which populations merit index endoscopic screening for gastric cancer and GIM detection/staging; (2) objective metrics for high-quality endoscopy; (3) consensus on the need for histological staging and (4) non-endoscopic interventions for gastric cancer prevention apart from H. pylori eradication alone. Robust studies, ideally in the form of randomised trials, are needed to bridge the ample evidence gaps that exist.

Fluoride exposure-induced gut microbiota alteration mediates colonic ferroptosis through N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mediated silencing of SLC7A11.

Fluoride exposure is widespread worldwide and poses a significant threat to organisms, particularly to their gastrointestinal tracts. However, due to limited knowledge of the mechanism of fluoride induced intestinal injury, it has been challenging to develop an effective treatment. To address this issue, we used a series of molecular biology in vitro and in vivo experiments. NaF triggered m6A mediated ferroptosis to cause intestinal damage. Mechanistically, NaF exposure increased the m6A level of SLC7A11 mRNA, promoted YTHDF2 binding to m6A-modified SLC7A11 mRNA, drove the degradation of SLC7A11 mRNA, and led to a decrease in its protein expression, which eventually triggers ferroptosis. Moreover, NaF aggravated ferroptosis of the colon after antibiotics destroyed the composition of gut microbiota. 16 S rRNA sequencing and SPEC-OCCU plots, Zi-Pi relationships, and Spearman correlation coefficients verified that Lactobacillus murinus (ASV54, ASV58, and ASV82) plays a key role in the response to NaF-induced ferroptosis. Collectively, NaF-induced gut microbiota alteration mediates severe intestinal cell injury by inducing m6A modification-mediated ferroptosis. Our results highlight a key mechanism of the gut in response to NaF exposure and suggest a valuable theoretical basis for its prevention and treatment.

The adhesin RadD enhances Fusobacterium nucleatum tumour colonization and colorectal carcinogenesis.

Fusobacterium nucleatum can bind to host cells and potentiate intestinal tumorigenesis. Here we used a genome-wide screen to identify an adhesin, RadD, which facilitates the attachment of F. nucleatum to colorectal cancer (CRC) cells in vitro. RadD directly binds to CD147, a receptor overexpressed on CRC cell surfaces, which initiated a PI3K-AKT-NF-κB-MMP9 cascade, subsequently enhancing tumorigenesis in mice. Clinical specimen analysis showed that elevated radD gene levels in CRC tissues correlated positively with activated oncogenic signalling and poor patient outcomes. Finally, blockade of the interaction between RadD and CD147 in mice effectively impaired F. nucleatum attachment and attenuated F. nucleatum-induced oncogenic response. Together, our study provides insights into an oncogenic mechanism driven by F. nucleatum RadD and suggests that the RadD-CD147 interaction could be a potential therapeutic target for CRC.

BCAA-producing Clostridium symbiosum promotes colorectal tumorigenesis through the modulation of host cholesterol metabolism.

Identification of potential bacterial players in colorectal tumorigenesis has been a focus of intense research. Herein, we find that Clostridium symbiosum (C. symbiosum) is selectively enriched in tumor tissues of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and associated with higher colorectal adenoma recurrence after endoscopic polypectomy. The tumorigenic effect of C. symbiosum is observed in multiple murine models. Single-cell transcriptome profiling along with functional assays demonstrates that C. symbiosum promotes the proliferation of colonic stem cells and enhances cancer stemness. Mechanistically, C. symbiosum intensifies cellular cholesterol synthesis by producing branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which sequentially activates Sonic hedgehog signaling. Low dietary BCAA intake or blockade of cholesterol synthesis by statins could partially abrogate the C. symbiosum-induced cell proliferation in vivo and in vitro. Collectively, we reveal C. symbiosum as a bacterial driver of colorectal tumorigenesis, thus identifying a potential target in CRC prediction, prevention, and treatment.

Mendelian Randomization Studies: Opening a New Window in the Study of Metabolic Diseases and Chronic Kidney Disease.

It is widely recognized that a strong correlation exists between metabolic diseases and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Based on bibliometric statistics, the overall number of Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis in relation to metabolic diseases and CKD has increased since 2005. In recent years, this topic has emerged as a significant area of research interest. In clinical studies, RCTs are often limited due to the intricate causal interplay between metabolic diseases and CKD, which makes it difficult to ascertain the precise etiology of these conditions definitively. In MR studies, genetic variation is incorporated as an instrumental variable (IV). They elucidate the possible causal relationships between associated risk factors and disease risks by including individual innate genetic markers. It is widely believed that MR avoids confounding and can reverse effects to the greatest extent possible. As an increasingly popular technology in the medical field, MR studies have become a popular technology in causal relationships investigation, particularly in epidemiological etiology studies. At present, MR has been widely used for the investigation of medical etiologies, drug development, and decision-making in public health. The article aims to offer insights into the causal relationship between metabolic diseases and CKD, as well as strategies for prevention and treatment, through a summary of MR-related research on these conditions.

Hybrid metal halide family with color-time-dual-resolved phosphorescence for multiplexed information security applications.

Luminescent materials with engineered optical properties play an important role in anti-counterfeiting and information security technology. However, conventional luminescent coding is limited by fluorescence color or intensity, and high-level multi-dimensional luminescent encryption technology remains a critically challenging goal in different scenarios. To improve the encoding capacity, we present an optical multiplexing concept by synchronously manipulating the emission color and decay lifetimes of room-temperature phosphorescence materials at molecular level. Herein, we devise a family of zero-dimensional (0D) hybrid metal halides by combining organic phosphonium cations and metal halide tetrahedral anions as independent luminescent centers, which display blue phosphorescence and green persistent afterglow with the highest quantum yields of 39.9 % and 57.3 %, respectively. Significantly, the luminescence lifetime can be fine-tuned in the range of 0.0968-0.5046 µs and 33.46-125.61 ms as temporary time coding through precisely controlling the heavy atomic effect and inter-molecular interactions. As a consequence, synchronous blue phosphorescence and green afterglow are integrated into one 0D halide platform with adjustable emission lifetime acting as color- and time-resolved dual RTP materials, which realize the multiple applications in high-level anti-counterfeiting and information storage. The color-lifetime-dual-resolved encoding ability greatly broadens the scope of luminescent halide materials for optical multiplexing applications.

The effects of air and transportation noise pollution-related altered blood gene expression, DNA methylation, and protein abundance levels on gastrointestinal diseases risk.

INTRODUCTION: Air pollution and transportation noise pollution has been linked to gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, but their relationship remains unclear. METHODS: We extracted the significantly modulated genes and CpG sites related to air pollution (PM2.5, PM10, and NOx) and transportation noise pollution (aircraft, railway, and traffic road noise) from previous published studies. Genome-wide methylation analysis and colocalization analysis with these CpG sites and GWAS data of GI diseases were performed to disentangle the relationship between pollution-related blood DNA methylation (DNAm) alterations and GI diseases risk. Summary-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) analysis assessed the impact of pollution-related genes on GI diseases risk across methylation, gene expression, and protein levels. Enrichment analysis investigated the implicated biological pathways and immune cell types. RESULTS: DNAm at cg00227781 [CD300A] (modulated by NOx exposure) and cg19215199 [ZMIZ1] (modulated by PM2.5 exposure) was significantly linked to increased noninfective enteritis and colitis risk, while cg08500171 [BAT2] (modulated by NOx exposure) is significantly associated with an increased gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) risk. Colocalization analysis provides strong evidence supporting a shared causal variant between these associations. Multi-omics levels SMR analysis revealed that pollution-modulated lower DNAm at 5 specific CpG sites were associated with increased expression of 4 genes (IL21R, EVPL, SYNGR1, and WDR46), subsequently increasing the risk of GERD, ulcerative colitis, and gastric ulcer. 7 circulating proteins coded by pollution-modulated genes were observed to be associated with 6 GI diseases risk. Enrichment analysis implicates immune and inflammatory responses, MAPK signaling, and telomere maintenance in these pollution-induced effects. CONCLUSION: We identified potential links between air and transportation noise pollution-related gene methylation, expression, and protein abundance with GI diseases risk, possibly revealing new therapeutic targets.

CDC6 overexpression contributes to the malignant phenotype of glioma via IL6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling.

Glioma, a prevalent primary tumor of the central nervous system, is targeted by molecular therapies aiming to intervene in specific genes and signaling pathways to inhibit tumor growth and spread. Our previous bioinformatics study revealed that significant CDC6 overexpression in gliomas was closely correlated with poor patient prognosis. Through qPCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry, we will further validate CDC6 expression in clinical glioma specimens, while the effects of silencing and overexpressing CDC6 in the U87 and LN229 glioma cell lines on malignancy will be assessed through MTS, EdU, transwell, and migration assays. Luciferase reporter assays, ChIP, qPCR, and western blotting were used to explore the upstream and downstream molecular mechanisms of CDC6. Our study confirmed the abnormal overexpression of CDC6 in gliomas, particularly in glioblastomas. CDC6 promotes glioma cell activity, proliferation, invasion, and migration by activating the IL6-mediated JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. The transcription Factor E2F8 directly regulates CDC6 transcription, playing a crucial role in its abnormal overexpression in gliomas. This research provides vital evidence supporting CDC6 as a molecular target for glioma therapy.
