Role of sulfatide-reactive vNKT cells in promoting lung Treg cells via dendritic cell modulation in asthma models
Eur J Pharmacol. 2024 Mar 7:176461. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176461. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOur previous studies have showed that sulfatide-reactive type II NKT (i.e. variant NKT, vNKT) cells inhibit the immunogenic maturation during the development of mature lung dendritic cells (LDCs), leading todeclined allergic airway inflammation in asthma. Nonetheless, the specific immunoregulatory roles of vNKT cells in LDC-mediated Th2 cell responses remain incompletely understood. Herein, we found that administration of sulfatide facilitated the generation of CD4+FoxP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells in the lungs of wild-type ...

Inhibition of Kv2.1 potassium channels by the antidepressant drug sertraline
In this study, we have used the patch-clamp technique to assess the effects of sertraline on Kv2.1 channels heterologously expressed in HEK-293 cells and on the voltage-gated potassium currents (IKv) of Neuro 2a cells, which are predominantly mediated by Kv2.1 channels. Our results reveal that sertraline inhibits Kv2.1 channels in a concentration-dependent manner. The sertraline-induced inhibition was not voltage-dependent and did not require the channels to be open. The kinetics of activation and deactivation were accelerated and decelerated, respectively, by sertraline. Moreover, the inhibition by this drug was use-depen...

Sildenafil, alone and in combination with imipramine or escitalopram, display antidepressant-like effects in an adrenocorticotropic hormone-induced (ACTH) rodent model of treatment-resistant depression
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that sildenafil shows promise as a treatment for TRD, either as a stand-alone therapy or in combination with a traditional antidepressant. The neurobiological mechanism underlying the antidepressant-like effects of the different sildenafil mono- and combination therapies reflects a multimodal action and cannot be explained in full by changes in the individually measured biomarker levels.PMID:38458412 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176434 (Source: European Journal of Pharmacology)

5-HT < sub > 2A < /sub > receptors are involved in the pharmaco-toxicological effects of the synthetic cannabinoids JWH-018 and 5F-PB22: In vivo studies in mice
Eur J Pharmacol. 2024 Mar 6:176486. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176486. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOver the last years, Synthetic Cannabinoids (SCs) have been among the largest and most frequently seized groups of Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS). These substances have been frequently detected in biological samples from patients involved in several intoxication and death cases. Their serious adverse effects have been related to their action as potent agonist of cannabinoid CB1 receptors. However, evidence concerning the potential interaction between SCs and serotoninergic mechanisms has emerged. Therefore, this study ...

Synthesis and biological evaluation of folic acid-rotenol conjugate as a potent targeted anticancer prodrug
Eur J Pharmacol. 2024 Mar 5:176482. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176482. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRotenone, a plant-based agricultural insecticide, has been shown to have anti-tumor activity through targeting mitochondrial complex I in cancer cells. However, off-target toxic side effect on nervous systems have greatly restricted the application of rotenone as anticancer drugs. Here, a folic acid-rotenol (FA-rotenol) conjugate was prepared by covalent coupling of the tumor-targeting ligand folic acid with rotenone derivative-rotenol to enhance its accumulation at tumor site. FA-rotenol conjugates presents high in vitro c...

Sodium valproate treatment reverses endothelial dysfunction in aorta from rabbits with acute myocardial infarction
In this study, AMI was induced in New Zealand White rabbits by occluding the left circumflex coronary artery for 1 h, followed by reperfusion. The animals were distributed into three experimental groups: the sham-operated group (SHAM), the AMI group and the AMI + VPA group (AMI treated with VPA 500 mg/kg/day). After 5 weeks, abdominal aorta was removed and used for isometric recording of tension in organ baths or protein expression by Western blot, and plasma for the determination of nitrate/nitrite (NOx) levels by colorimetric assay. Our results indicated that AMI induced a reduction of the endothelium-dependent response ...

Sulforaphane's role in Redefining autophagic Responses in depression associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome: Unveiling the SIRT1/AMPK/LKB1 pathway connection
Eur J Pharmacol. 2024 Mar 2:176477. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176477. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPolycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) has been associated with depression and suicidal ideations in females. Studies have highlighted the role of autophagic deficiency in depression pathogenesis. Sulforaphane (SFN) is a natural product that improved autophagic deficiency and showed antidepressant activity in depressed patients. Herein, the study aimed to evaluate the impact of using SFN on depression-associated with PCOS via hippocampal energy sensors and cellular bioenergetics. PCOS was induced by administering letrozole (1 m...

Tetrandrine alleviates pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting alveolar epithelial cell senescence through PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy
Eur J Pharmacol. 2024 Mar 2:176459. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176459. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal and insidious interstitial lung disease. So far, there are no effective drugs for preventing the disease process. Cellular senescence plays a critical role in the development of IPF, with the senescence and insufficient mitophagy of alveolar epithelial cells being implicated in its pathogenesis. Tetrandrine is a natural alkaloid which is now produced synthetically. It was known that the tetrandrine has anti-fibrotic effects, but the efficacy and mechanisms are still not well ev...
