Aspirin Inhibits Colorectal Cancer via the TIGIT-BCL2-BAX pathway in T Cells.

The T cell immunoglobulin and ITAM domain (TIGIT) is a recently discovered synergistic co-suppressor molecule that plays an important role in immune response and tumor immune escape in the context of cancer. Importantly, CD155 acts as a receptor for TIGIT, and CD155 signaling to immune cells is mediated through interactions with the co-stimulatory immune receptor CD226 (DNAM-1) and the inhibitory checkpoint receptors TIGIT and CD96. Aspirin (ASA) has been shown to reduce the growth and survival of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, but the immunological mechanisms involved have not been sufficiently elucidated. In the present study the effects of aspirin on CRC in mice and on Jurkat cells were investigated. Aspirin may suppress the expression of TIGIT on T cells and Regulatory T cells (Tregs) and inhibit T cell viability, and therefore induce tumor cell apoptosis. TIGIT is expressed at higher levels on infiltrating lymphocytes within CRC tumor tissue than adjacent. Further, aspirin could inhibit Jurkat cell proliferation and induce apoptosis via downregulation of TIGIT expression and the anti-apoptosis B cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) protein and upregulation of BCL2-associated X protein (BAX) expression. The present study suggests that aspirin can inhibit specific aspects of T cell function by reducing interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor-ß1 secretion via the TIGIT-BCL2-BAX signaling pathway, resulting in improved effector T cell function that inhibits tumor progression.

Carbon-phosphorus cycle models overestimate CO2 enrichment response in a mature Eucalyptus forest.

The importance of phosphorus (P) in regulating ecosystem responses to climate change has fostered P-cycle implementation in land surface models, but their CO2 effects predictions have not been evaluated against measurements. Here, we perform a data-driven model evaluation where simulations of eight widely used P-enabled models were confronted with observations from a long-term free-air CO2 enrichment experiment in a mature, P-limited Eucalyptus forest. We show that most models predicted the correct sign and magnitude of the CO2 effect on ecosystem carbon (C) sequestration, but they generally overestimated the effects on plant C uptake and growth. We identify leaf-to-canopy scaling of photosynthesis, plant tissue stoichiometry, plant belowground C allocation, and the subsequent consequences for plant-microbial interaction as key areas in which models of ecosystem C-P interaction can be improved. Together, this data-model intercomparison reveals data-driven insights into the performance and functionality of P-enabled models and adds to the existing evidence that the global CO2-driven carbon sink is overestimated by models.

Nonlinearly coupled electro-osmotic flow in variable charge soils.

Electro-osmosis has been valued as a promising technology to enhance the dewatering of waste sludge, stabilization and environmental remediation of soils with low permeability. However, the coefficient of electro-osmotic permeability (keo) is commonly taken as constant value which is particularly not the case in variable charge soil. As a result, the nonlinearity of the electro-osmotic flow (EOF) and the direction reverse could not be interpreted. Herein, the electro-chemical parameters were monitored in electro-osmotic experiment with natural variable charge soil. It was observed that the evolutions showed significant nonlinear behavior and were correlated. The comprehensive Zeta potential model proposed by the authors was applied to simulate the nonlinear keo induced by the variable pH and electrolyte concentration. The agreement between tested and simulated flow rate variation and excess pore water pressure distribution demonstrated the reliability of the theory. The error rate of the simulations through coupling nonlinear keo and voltage gradient Ex was reduced to 29.4% from 381.9% of calculations with constant parameters. The direction reverse of EOF was innovatively interpreted. Hence, the numerical model would act as a useful tool to connect these electro-chemical parameters and provide guidance to evaluate contributions of commonly used pH conditioning measurements.

Reduction of Ketones and Coupling of Ketyls by a Zn-Zn-Bonded Compound.

The α-diimine-ligated Zn-Zn-bonded compound [K(THF)2]2[LZn-ZnL] (1, L = [(2,6-iPr2C6H3)NC(Me)]22-) displays diverse reactivities toward a variety of ketones. In the reaction of 1 with benzophenone or 4,4'-di-tert-butylbenzophenone, a multielectron transfer process was observed to give bimetallic (Zn/K) complexes with both ketyl radical fragments and C-C coupled pinacolate moieties (products 2 and 3). In contrast, treating 1 with 9-fluorenone only afforded pinacolate complex 5. Moreover, the reactions of 1 with N- or O-heterocycle-functionalized ketones, i.e., di(2-pyridyl)ketone, 2,2-pyrrolidinone, 9-xanthenone, or 10-methyl-9(10H)-acridone, were also carried out. Besides different transformations of the ketone moiety, the heteroatoms (nitrogen or oxygen) are also involved in coordination with zinc or potassium ions, yielding discrete aggregates or polymeric structures of products 6-9.

Impact of exercise dosages based on American College of Sports Medicine recommendations on lipid metabolism in patients after PCI: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

BACKGROUND: The impact of exercise dosages based on American College of Sports Medicine(ACSM) recommendations on lipid metabolism in patients after PCI remains unclear. This study conducted a meta-analysis of reported exercise dosages from the literature to address this knowledge gap. METHODS: A comprehensive search of databases was conducted to identify eligible randomized controlled studies of exercise interventions in patients after PCI, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Based on the recommended exercise dosages from ACSM for patients with coronary heart disease, exercise doses in the literature that met the inclusion criteria were categorized into groups that were highly compliant with ACSM recommendations and those with low or uncertain ACSM recommendations. The topic was the effect of exercise dose on lipid metabolism in post-PCI patients. This was assessed using standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for changes in triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL. RESULTS: This systematic review included 10 randomized controlled studies. The subgroup analysis revealed statistically significant differences in the high compliance with ACSM recommendations group for triglycerides [SMD=-0.33 (95% CI -0.62, -0.05)], total cholesterol [SMD=-0.55 (95% CI -0.97, -0.13)], low-density lipoprotein [SMD=-0.31 (95% CI -0.49, -0.13)], high-density lipoprotein [SMD = 0.23 (95% CI 0.01, 0.46)], and body mass index [SMD=-0.52 (95% CI -0.87, -0.17)]. Compared to the low or uncertain compliance with ACSM recommendations group, the high compliance group exhibited significant differences in improving TC levels (-0.55(H) vs. -0.46(L)), HDL levels (0.23(H) vs. 0.22(L)), and BMI (-0.52(H) vs. -0.34(L)). CONCLUSIONS: This study supports that high compliance with ACSM-recommended exercise dosages has significant impacts on improving TC levels, HDL levels, and BMI. However, no advantage was observed for TG or LDL levels.

Aspirin prevents colorectal cancer by regulating the abundance of Enterococcus cecorum and TIGIT+Treg cells.

Although aspirin can reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC), there is still uncertainty about its significance as a treatment for CRC, and the mechanism of aspirin in CRC is not well understood. In this study, we used aspirin to prevent AOM/DSS-induced CRC in mice, and the anti-CRC efficacy of aspirin was assessed using haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and by determining the mouse survival rate and tumour size. 16S rDNA sequencing, flow cytometry (FCM), and Western blotting were also conducted to investigate the changes in the gut microbiota, tumour immune microenvironment, and apoptotic proteins, respectively. The results demonstrated that aspirin significantly exerted anti-CRC effects in mice. According to 16S rDNA sequencing, aspirin regulated the composition of the gut microbiota and dramatically reduced the abundance of Enterococcus cecorum. FCM demonstrated that there were more CD155 tumour cells and CD4 + CD25 + Treg cells showed increased TIGIT levels. Moreover, increased TIGIT expression on Treg cells is associated with reduced Treg cell functionality. Importantly, the inhibition of Treg cells is accompanied by the promotion of CD19 + GL-7 + B cells, CD8 + T cells, CD4 + CCR4 + Th2 cells, and CD4 + CCR6 + Th17 cells. Overall, aspirin prevents colorectal cancer by regulating the abundance of Enterococcus cecorum and TIGIT + Treg cells.

Total flavonoids of Chrysanthemum indicum L inhibit colonic barrier injury induced by acute pancreatitis by affecting gut microorganisms.

BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a prevalent acute abdominal condition, and AP induced colonic barrier dysfunction is commonly observed. Total flavonoids of Chrysanthemum indicum L (TFC) have exhibited noteworthy anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties. METHODS: We established AP models, both in animals and cell cultures, employing Cerulein. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed to investigate the gut microorganisms changes. RESULTS: In vivo, TFC demonstrated a remarkable capacity to ameliorate AP, as indicated by the inhibition of serum amylase, myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels, and the reduction in pancreatic tissue water content. Furthermore, TFC effectively curtailed the heightened inflammatory response. The dysfunction of colonic barrier induced by AP was suppressed by TFC. At the in vitro level, TFC treatment resulted in attenuation of increased cell apoptosis, and regulation of apoptosis related proteins expression in AR42J cells. The increase of Bacteroides sartorial, Lactobacillus reuteri, Muribaculum intestinale, and Parabacteroides merdae by AP, and decrease of of Helicobacter rodentium, Pasteurellaceae bacterium, Streptococcus hyointestinalis by AP were both reversed by TFC treatment. CONCLUSIONS: TFC can effectively suppress AP progression and AP induced colonic barrier dysfunction by mitigating elevated serum amylase, MPO levels, water content in pancreatic tissue, as well as curtailing inflammation, apoptosis. The findings presented herein shed light on the potential mechanisms by which TFC inhibit the development of AP progression and AP induced colonic barrier dysfunction.

Conclusion: This study underscores the evolving role of the internet in shaping physical activity behaviors in the Chinese context. It emphasizes the importance of considering age-related dynamics and societal factors such as gender equality and educational attainment in health promotion strategies.

Activation of cyclopentadiene derivatives by an α-diimine-ligated Mg-Mg-bonded compound.

Heteroleptic, bimetallic (Mg/K) cyclopentadienyl complexes (2-4) were synthesized by the reaction of the Mg-Mg-bonded compound [K(THF)3]2[LMg-MgL] (1, L = [(2,6-iPr2C6H3)NC(CH3)]22-) with cyclopentadiene derivatives, 6,6-dimethylfulvene, 6-(dimethylamino)fulvene, or 1,2,3,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclopentadiene. The reactions proceed through diverse pathways, including hydrogen abstraction, C-C coupling, and dehydrogenation, depending on the property of the polyene substrate, thus providing an access to alkali/alkaline earth metal cyclopentadienyl complexes.

Deficiency of CAMSAP2 impairs olfaction and the morphogenesis of mitral cells.

In developing olfactory bulb (OB), mitral cells (MCs) remodel their dendrites to establish the precise olfactory circuit, and these circuits are critical for individuals to sense odors and elicit behaviors for survival. However, how microtubules (MTs) participate in the process of dendritic remodeling remains elusive. Here, we reveal that calmodulin-regulated spectrin-associated proteins (CAMSAPs), a family of proteins that bind to the minus-end of the noncentrosomal MTs, play a crucial part in the development of MC dendrites. We observed that Camsap2 knockout (KO) males are infertile while the reproductive tract is normal. Further study showed that the infertility was due to the severe defects of mating behavior in male mice. Besides, mice with loss-of-function displayed defects in the sense of smell. Furthermore, we found that the deficiency of CAMSAP2 impairs the classical morphology of MCs, and the CAMSAP2-dependent dendritic remodeling process is responsible for this defect. Thus, our findings demonstrate that CAMSAP2 plays a vital role in regulating the development of MCs.

Dynamic behavior of electro-osmosis in variable charge soils: Insights on termination and direction reversal.

Electro-osmosis offers an effective method for dewatering and remediating low permeability soil. Long-term observations on nonlinear behavior of electro-osmosis and the influencing factors are not commonly reported. Connection between cessation and direction reversal of electro-osmotic flow (EOF), and the evolution of electro-chemical parameters inside of the soil mass thus remains unclear. The dynamic response of EOF in variable charge soil could be significant, whereas the investigations on which are currently lacking. A series of electro-osmotic experiments were performed with two natural variable charge soils. The results indicated that initial electro-osmotic rate was positively proportional to electric current and initial electrical conductivity of the pore fluid, which could be explained by the ion migration model. The dynamic evolution of electro-osmotic rate and electro-chemical parameters corresponding to the solute and pH conditionings at the electrode compartments demonstrated that: 1) coupling effects of non-uniform distribution of voltage gradient and pH determined the magnitude and direction of EOF rate; 2) compared to the final pHIEP value, the bigger, close and smaller values of the novel index "voltage gradient weighed mean of spatial pH″ represented the forward, terminated and reversed EOF respectively; 3) the classical Helmholtz-Smoluchowski model are proved to be more applicable interpreting the coupled nonlinearity of electro-osmosis during the later steady phase. This work would facilitate future research for a comprehensive electro-osmotic model, and provide guidance to condition the initial and boundary conditions in application of electro-osmotic dewatering and electrokinetic remediation.

Comprehensive analyses of the ARF gene family in cannabis reveals their potential roles in regulating cannabidiol biosynthesis and male flower development.

Background: Cannabidiol (CBD), as an important therapeutic property of the cannabis plants, is mainly produced in the flower organs. Auxin response factors (ARFs) are play a crucial role in flower development and secondary metabolite production. However, the specific roles of ARF gene family in cannabis remain unknown. Methods: In this study, various bioinformatics analysis of CsARF genes were conducted using online website and bioinformatics, quantitative real time PCR technology was used to investigate the expression patterns of the CsARF gene family in different tissues of different cannabis varieties, and subcellular localization analysis was performed in tobacco leaf. Results: In this study, 22 CsARF genes were identified and found to be unevenly distributed across 9 chromosomes of the cannabis genome. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the ARF proteins were divided into 4 subgroups. Duplication analysis identified one pair of segmental/whole-genome duplicated CsARF, and three pairs of tandemly duplicated CsARF. Collinearity analysis revealed that two CsARF genes, CsARF4 and CsARF19, were orthologous in both rice and soybean. Furthermore, subcellular localization analysis showed that CsARF2 was localized in the nucleus. Tissue-specific expression analysis revealed that six genes were highly expressed in cannabis male flowers, and among these genes, 3 genes were further found to be highly expressed at different developmental stages of male flowers. Meanwhile, correlation analysis between the expression level of CsARF genes and CBD content in two cultivars 'H8' and 'Y7' showed that the expression level of CsARF13 was negatively correlated with CBD content, while the expression levels of six genes were positively correlated with CBD content. In addition, most of CsARF genes were responsive to IAA treatment. Conclusion: Our study laid a foundation for the further studies of CsARFs function in cannabis, and provides candidate genes for breeding varieties with high CBD yield in cannabis production.

Discovery of potent and novel dual NAMPT/BRD4 inhibitors for efficient treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

The NAPRT-induced increase in NAD+ levels was proposed as a mechanism contributing to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) resistance to NAMPT inhibitors. Thus, concurrently targeting NAMPT and NAPRT could be considered to overcome drug resistance. A BRD4 inhibitor downregulates the expression of NAPRT in HCC, and the combination of NAMPT inhibitors with BRD4 inhibitors simultaneously blocks NAD+ generation via salvage and the PH synthesis pathway. Moreover, the combination of the two agents significantly downregulated the expression of tumor-promoting genes and strongly promoted apoptosis. The present work identified various NAMPT/BRD4 dual inhibitors based on the multitargeted drug rationale. Among them, compound A2, which demonstrated the strongest effect, exhibited potent inhibition of NAMPT and BRD4 (IC50 = 35 and 58 nM, respectively). It significantly suppressed the growth and migration of HCC cells and facilitated their apoptosis. Furthermore, compound A2 also manifested a robust anticancer effect in HCCLM3 xenograft mouse models, with no apparent toxic effects. Our findings in this study provide an effective approach to target NAD+ metabolism for HCC treatment.

Effects of high-temperature stress on gene expression related to photosynthesis in two jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) varieties.

Elevated temperatures critically impact crop growth, development, and yield, with photosynthesis being the most temperature-sensitive physiological process in plants. This study focused on assessing the photosynthetic response and genetic adaptation of two different heat-resistant jujube varieties 'Junzao' (J) and 'Fucuimi' (F), to high-temperature stress (42°C Day/30°C Night). Comparative analyses of leaf photosynthetic indices, microstructural changes, and transcriptome sequencing were conducted. Results indicated superior high-temperature adaptability in F, evidenced by alterations in leaf stomatal behavior - particularly in J, where defense cells exhibited significant water loss, shrinkage, and reduced stomatal opening, alongside a marked increase in stomatal density. Through transcriptome sequencing 13,884 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, significantly enriched in pathways related to plant-pathogen interactions, amino acid biosynthesis, starch and sucrose metabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism. Key findings include the identification of photosynthetic pathway related DEGs and HSFA1s as central regulators of thermal morphogenesis and heat stress response. Revealing their upregulation in F and downregulation in J. The results indicate that these genes play a crucial role in improving heat tolerance in F. This study unveils critical photosynthetic genes involved in heat stress, providing a theoretical foundation for comprehending the molecular mechanisms underlying jujube heat tolerance.

Impact of flaxseed gum on the aggregate structure, pasting properties, and rheological behavior of waxy rice starch.

This study examines the effects of flaxseed gum (FG) on the aggregate structure, pasting and rheological properties of waxy rice starch (WRS). Results display an increase in the ordered molecular structure (R1047/1024), relative crystallinity (RC), compactness (α), and microphase heterogeneity (ε, density degree of nanoaggregates, from 3.52 to 4.23) for WRS-FG complexes. These suggested FG facilitated the development of more organized molecular and crystalline structures of WRS, accompanied by the formation of ordered nanoaggregates with higher density (i.e., nano-aggregation structure). Also, FG addition resulted in the formation of enhanced gel network structure characterized by thicker layer walls and more uniform pores. These structural transformations contributed to a rise in gelatinization temperature (To, from 56.90 °C to 62.10 °C) and enthalpy (ΔH), as well as alterations in paste viscosities (PV, from 1285.00 mPa·s to 1734.00 mPa·s), and the rigidity of network structure (e.g., decreased loss tangent). These results indicate that FG could effectively regulate the techno-functional properties of WRS by rationally controlling the starch intrinsic structures of starch. And this study may improve the pasting and gelling properties of starch, thus driving the development of high-quality starchy foods and prolonging their shelf life, especially for glutinous rice flour products.

Biomimetic Charge-Neutral Anion Receptors for Reversible Binding and Release of Highly Hydrated Phosphate in Water.

Control of phosphate capture and release is vital in environmental, biological, and pharmaceutical contexts. However, the binding of trivalent phosphate (PO4 3-) in water is exceptionally difficult due to its high hydration energy. Based on the anion coordination chemistry of phosphate, in this study, four charge-neutral tripodal hexaurea receptors (L1-L4), which were equipped with morpholine and polyethylene glycol terminal groups to enhance their solubility in water, were synthesized to enable the pH-triggered phosphate binding and release in aqueous solutions. Encouragingly, the receptors were found to bind PO4 3- anion in a 1 : 1 ratio via hydrogen bonds in 100 % water solutions, with L1 exhibiting the highest binding constant (1.2×103 M-1). These represent the first neutral anion ligands to bind phosphate in 100 % water and demonstrate the potential for phosphate capture and release in water through pH-triggered mechanisms, mimicking native phosphate binding proteins. Furthermore, L1 can also bind multiple bioavailable phosphate species, which may serve as model systems for probing and modulating phosphate homeostasis in biological and biomedical researches.

Pharmacological modulation of septins restores calcium homeostasis and is neuroprotective in models of Alzheimer's disease.

Abnormal calcium signaling is a central pathological component of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we describe the identification of a class of compounds called ReS19-T, which are able to restore calcium homeostasis in cell-based models of tau pathology. Aberrant tau accumulation leads to uncontrolled activation of store-operated calcium channels (SOCCs) by remodeling septin filaments at the cell cortex. Binding of ReS19-T to septins restores filament assembly in the disease state and restrains calcium entry through SOCCs. In amyloid-ß and tau-driven mouse models of disease, ReS19-T agents restored synaptic plasticity, normalized brain network activity, and attenuated the development of both amyloid-ß and tau pathology. Our findings identify the septin cytoskeleton as a potential therapeutic target for the development of disease-modifying AD treatments.

Peripheral Control of the Assembly and Chirality of Anion-Based Octanuclear Cubes by Cation-π Networks.

Self-assembly of sophisticated polyhedral cages has drawn much attention because of their elaborate structures and potential applications. Herein, we report the anion-coordination-driven assembly of the first A8L12 (A = anion, L = ligand) octanuclear cubic structures from phosphate anion and p-xylylene-spaced bis-bis(urea) ligands via peripheral templating of countercations (TEA+ or TPA+). By attaching terminal aryl rings (phenyl or naphthyl) to the ligand through a flexible (methylene) linker, these aryls actively participate in the formation of plenty of "aromatic pockets" for guest cation binding. As a result, multiple peripheral guests (up to 22) of suitable size are bound on the faces and vertices of the cube, forming a network of cation-π interactions to stabilize the cube structure. More interestingly, when chiral ligands were used, either diastereomers of mixed Λ- and Δ-configurations (with TEA+ countercation) for the phosphate coordination centers or enantiopure cubes (with TPA+) were formed. Thus, the assembly and chirality of the cube can be modulated by remote terminal groups and peripheral templating tetraalkylammonium cations.

Construction of Magnesium Phosphate Chemical Conversion Coatings with Different Microstructures on Titanium to Enhance Osteogenesis and Angiogenesis.

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are widely used as hard tissue substitutes in dentistry and orthopedics, but their low bioactivity leads to undesirable osseointegration defects in the early osteogenic phase. Surface modification is an important approach to overcome these problems. In the present study, novel magnesium phosphate (MgP) coatings with controllable structures were fabricated on the surface of Ti using the phosphate chemical conversion (PCC) method. The effects of the microstructure on the physicochemical and biological properties of the coatings on Ti were researched. The results indicated that accelerators in PCC solution were important factors affecting the microstructure and properties of the MgP coatings. In addition, the coated Ti exhibited excellent hydrophilicity, high bonding strength, and good corrosion resistance. Moreover, the biological results showed that the MgP coatings could improve the spread, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of mouse osteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1) and vascular differentiation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), indicating that the coated Ti samples had a great effect on promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Overall, this study provided a new research idea for the surface modification of conventional Ti to enhance osteogenesis and angiogenesis in different bone types for potential biomedical applications.

Meta-analysis of FOXP3 polymorphisms and recurrent spontaneous abortion susceptibility.

BACKGROUND: The polymorphisms of the FOXP3 gene may mediate abnormalities in Tregs, leading to an imbalance in maternal-fetal immune tolerance and ultimately resulting in recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). This meta-analysis aims to assess the potential association between FOXP3 polymorphisms and susceptibility to RSA using five specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: By conducting a comprehensive search across databases such as EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, and CBM, we identified suitable studies for inclusion in the meta-analysis. The data extracted from these studies were subjected to analysis using Stata SE 15. To assess the degree of association, we utilized the odds ratio (OR) along with its corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Five specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were employed in assessing the connection between FOXP3 gene polymorphisms and RSA. RESULTS: The meta-analysis demonstrated a significant association between several polymorphisms (rs3761548, rs2232365, rs2232368, rs2280883, and rs2294021) and susceptibility to RSA. Conversely, the FOXP3 rs5902434 polymorphism was not associated with susceptibility to RSA. CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis suggests that these genetic variations within the FOXP3 gene might play a role in the progression of RSA disease. Meanwhile, large-scale studies that consider multiple factors are needed to validate this finding.
