RESUMO

Glaucoma is similar to a neurodegenerative disorder and leads to global irreversible loss of vision. Despite extensive research, the pathophysiological mechanisms of glaucoma remain unclear, and no complete cure has yet been identified for glaucoma. Recent studies have shown that microRNAs can serve as diagnostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets for glaucoma; however, there are few bibliometric studies that focus on using microRNAs in glaucoma research. Here, we have adopted a bibliometric analysis in the field of microRNAs in glaucoma research to manifest the current tendencies and research hotspots and to present a visual map of the past and emerging tendencies in this field. In this study, we retrieved publications in the Web of Science database that centered on this field between 2007 and 2022. Next, we used VOSviewer, CiteSpace, Scimago Graphica, and Microsoft Excel to present visual representations of a co-occurrence analysis, co-citation analysis, tendencies, hotspots, and the contributions of authors, institutions, journals, and countries/regions. The United States was the main contributor. Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science has published the most articles in this field. Over the past 15 years, there has been exponential growth in the number of publications and citations in this field across various countries, organizations, and authors. Thus, this study illustrates the current trends, hotspots, and emerging frontiers and provides new insight and guidance for searching for new diagnostic biomarkers and clinical trials for glaucoma in the future. Furthermore, international collaborations can also be used to broaden and deepen the field of microRNAs in glaucoma research.

RESUMO

This study aims to explore the effect of Gegen Qinlian Decoction on gut microbiota of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea(IBS-D) rats. A total of 36 male SD rats were randomly classified into the control group, model group, rifaximin group(150 mg·kg~(-1)), and high-dose(8.125 g·kg~(-1)), medium-dose(4.062 5 g·kg~(-1)) and low-dose(2.031 3 g·kg~(-1)) Gegen Qinlian Decoction groups with the random number table method, 6 in each group. After modeling, rats were treated for 8 days. The general state, bristol stool chart(BSC) score, and the minimum volume threshold for abdominal withdrawal reflex were recorded. Pathological changes of colon tissues were observed based on hematoxylin and eosin(HE) staining, and gut microbiota was analyzed based on 16 S rRNA sequencing. Compared with the model group, rifaximin group and high-dose and medium-dose Gegen Qinlian Decoction groups showed low BSC score(P<0.01) and high minimum volume threshold for abdominal lifting(P<0.05). HE staining showed that Gegen Qinlian Decoction could relieve intestinal inflammation. 16 S rRNA sequencing suggested obvious variation of gut microbiota in IBS-D rats. Gegen Qinlian Decoction significantly raised the richness index and diversity index of gut microbiota, regulated the number of the flora, and improved alpha diversity and beta diversity. Species composition of gut microbiota and LEfSe analysis showed that Gegen Qinlian Decoction could significantly increase the ratio of Bacteroidota to Firmicutes, elevate the abundance of probiotics such as Clostridia and Lachnospirales, and reduce the abundance of conditional pathogens such as Bacteroidales, and Prevotellaceae. PICRUSt2 analysis indicated that Gegen Qinlian Decoction was mainly related to multiple metabolic pathways such as carbohydrate metabolism and amino acid metabolism. In summary, Gegen Qinlian Decoction can significantly reduce visceral hypersensitivity of IBS-D rats, alleviate intestinal inflammation, and relieve clinical symptoms such as diarrhea. The mechanism is the likelihood that it regulates the composition and structure of gut microbiota and improves its metabolic pathway as well.

RESUMO

The prevention and treatment of fear-related disorders in offspring affected by pregnancy stress remains challenging at clinic. Here, we examined the effects of gut microbiota of stressed pregnant rats on the fear extinction of their offsprings, and the potential mechanisms. We found that gut microbiota transplantation from rats with pregnancy stress to normal pregnant rats impaired fear extinction, induced microglial activation and synaptic phagocytosis, increased synapse loss in offsprings. Probiotics supplement during pregnancy stress partly normalized pregnancy stress-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis of pregnant rats, and promoted fear memory extinction, inhibited fear memory reappearance, and limited microglial activation and synaptic phagocytosis in offsprings. These data revealed that gut microbiota of stressed pregnant mother improved the development of fear-related disorders of offspring, which may be associated with microglial synaptic pruning.

RESUMO

Until now, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been a difficult clinical condition with a high mortality and morbidity rate, and is characterized by a build-up of alveolar fluid and impaired clearance. The underlying mechanism is not yet fully understood and no effective medications available. Autophagy activation is associated with ARDS caused by different pathogenic factors. It represents a new direction of prevention and treatment of ARDS to restrain autophagy to a reasonable level through pharmacological and molecular genetic methods. Na, K-ATPase is the main gradient driver of pulmonary water clearance in ARDS and could be degraded by the autophagy-lysosome pathway to affect its abundance and enzyme activity. As a normal growth hormone in human body, insulin has been widely used in clinical for a long time. To investigate the association of insulin with Na, K-ATPase, autophagy and inflammatory markers in LPS-treated C57BL/6 mice by survival assessment, proteomic analysis, histologic examination, inflammatory cell counting, myeloperoxidase, TNF-α and IL-1ß activity analysis etc. This was also verified on mouse alveolar epithelial type II (AT II) and A549 cells by transmission electron microscopy. We found that insulin restored the expression of Na, K-ATPase, inhibited the activation of autophagy and reduced the release of inflammatory factors caused by alveolar epithelial damage. The regulation mechanism of insulin on Na, K-ATPase by inhibiting autophagy function may provide new drug targets for the treatment of ARDS.

RESUMO

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the high incidence cancers and third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. HBV is the top most risk factor accounting for 50-80% of the HCC cases. Kinases: Aurora kinase A (AURKA), cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK1) and Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), the key regulators of cell mitosis are overexpressed in varieties of cancers including HCC. However, the exact role of these genes in prognosis of HCC is not fully unveiled. In addition, there is no such an accurate prognostic biomarker for HBV-related HCC. To address this issue, we performed a multidimensional analysis of AURKA, CDK1 and PLK1 with a series of publicly available databases in multiple cancers and with experimental validation in HBV-related HCC tissues. Overexpression of AURKA, CDK1 and PLK1 was found in multiple cancers including HCC. Elevated expression of these genes could result from lowered DNA methylation and genomic alterations. Transcriptional overexpression was significantly correlated with poor prognosis of HCC patients. The expression levels were also significantly positively associated with tumor grades and stages. Furthermore, the expression levels of these genes had a strong correlation with infiltration of immune cells. Our analysis shows that AURKA, CDK1 and PLK1 are correlated with immune infiltration and are the prognostic biomarkers for HBV-induced HCC.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

RESUMO

Glaucoma is a common blinding eye disease characterized by progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons, progressive loss of visual field, and optic nerve atrophy. Autophagy plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of glaucoma and is closely related to its pathogenesis. Targeting autophagy and blocking the apoptosis of RGCs provides emerging guidance for the treatment of glaucoma. Here, we provide a systematic review of the mechanisms and targets of interventions related to autophagy in glaucoma and discuss the outlook of emerging ideas, techniques, and multidisciplinary combinations to provide a new basis for further research and the prevention of glaucomatous visual impairment.
